I grew up in Santa Barbara and the Mesa is one of my favorite neighborhoods, so I was excited to stay at the Mesa Jewel. The house is so cute and clean with a wonderful backyard for relaxing and hanging out. We walked to the Douglas Preserve to watch the sunsets and down Mesa lane to the stairs down to the beach. We walked to the Mesa Cafe and Boathouse for breakfast, great location is an easy 5 minute uber anywhere. We will stay here again!

beautiful house, well appointed, close to a beautiful park The kitchen was great, the hot tub was fantastic, and there were plenty of sheets and towels, The TV was a little tricky to operate and the living room could have used a few extra comfortable chairs, but those were minor issues.

Wonderful stay

This property at first was a little tricky to find. There is a shared driveway that you have to drive down. It’s a perfect location. We were in Santa Barbara as a family for our sons basketball tournament at UCSB. We found the location very convenient for going to his games and also visiting the beaches and wharf and shopping areas. We loved that there were nearby grocery stores and places to eat. The house itself was very clean, and had everything that we needed. The beds we very comfortable, with soft linens. We loved the tall fence surrounding the property, it felt very private. We also used the hot tub one morning, and it was lovely. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
