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.
The Mesa offers the perfect blend of tranquility and convenience. From this prime location, enjoy peaceful coastal living with quick access to Arroyo Burro (Hendry’s) Beach, Leadbetter Beach, Shoreline Park, and the neighborhood’s cafes, shops, and scenic bluffs—making this a truly unforgettable Santa Barbara escape.
