Best Mesa Beach House! Condé Nast Traveler, Santa Barbara

Named the “Best Beach Cottage on the Mesa in Santa Barbara” by Condé Nast Traveler, the Mesa Beach House is a newly renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath coastal retreat designed for the ultimate getaway. Nestled in Santa Barbara’s favorite neighborhood, The Mesa, this stylish cottage is just a 5-minute walk to the Mesa beach entrance and a 10-minute drive to downtown.



Inside, the home blends high-end finishes with coastal charm. The living room features generous seating and a large smart TV with cable, flowing seamlessly into the beautifully remodeled kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a dining area for eight. Luxe hardwood floors, curated furnishings, and tasteful design elevate the entire space.



Three spacious bedrooms ensure comfort for every guest. The elegant primary suite includes a king bed, en suite bathroom, luxe linens, room-darkening shades, and its own smart TV with cable. The second bedroom also features a plush king bed with premium bedding, while the third has two XL twins that can be combined into a king, providing flexibility for families. A second full bathroom with modern finishes completes the layout.



The private yard is an oasis with glimpses of the ocean, lounge seating, and a cozy firepit. An outdoor dining table for eight, BBQ grill, and refreshing outdoor shower set the stage for alfresco living. Guests also enjoy beach gear, including towels, chairs, umbrellas, and a beach wagon—making seaside days effortless.



Conveniences include 3 off-street parking spots, an EV charger, high-speed WiFi, and full guest access to the home, driveway, and yard. Check-in is contactless, with responsive host support always available.
