Mesa Cottage | Patio with BBQ and Firepit

Summary:
Welcome to Mesa Cottage by the Sea! Nestled on the Mesa in California’s Santa Barbara, it's a delightful getaway anytime of the year.

The Space:
Offering a myriad of beaches, parks and unique Mediterranean-style architecture, the house could not be better located.

Explore age-soaked Spanish mansions, botanical gardens, and the breathtaking Santa Ynez Mountains. Or just relax all day at this indoor/ outdoor oasis.

This comfortable cottage sits behind lush hedges and welcomes you in with a bright magenta dutch door. Sunbathe on a cozy hammock, unwind by either of the two firepits, or light up the BBQ. Enjoy al-fresco meals at the 6-seater outdoor dining table, and make use of the 2 seating areas for a leisurely time outdoors.

The living room is bright and soothing, with a tastefully minimalist décor. Dewy white walls, pastel-hued interiors and rustic wooden fixtures make you feel at home. Large windows allow ample natural light, and french doors off the dining area open onto the leafy outdoor patio. Hazel-colored couches, cane furnishings and blue accents ooze a refreshing coastal ambiance throughout the day. Enjoy the cool inside with the newly installed central AC, a rare find for homes in the area!

The media room features a smart TV and seating area to keep you entertained.

Whip up homemade meals in the spacious, well-stocked kitchen. Adorned with glossy white countertops and modern cabinetry, it’s equipped with stainless steel appliances such as a coffee maker, dishwasher, oven, wineware and refrigerator. The 6-seater wooden indoor table is perfect for dinner with family or friends.

The home accommodates 6 guests in 3 bedrooms, all elegantly designed with picture windows. While #bedroom 1 is fitted with a king-size bed, #bedroom 2 and #bedroom 3 have queen-size beds and a smart TV.

THINGS TO NOTE:
There are 2 bathrooms, 1 of which has a bathtub.
A washer/dryer is provided for guest use.
Driveway and street parking are available.

Indulge in a bounty of activities, all close by. From upscale boutique stores and heritage museums to eclectic restaurants and charming wineries — there’s something for everyone.

Kids will have a memorable time at the Santa Barbara Zoo, which is home to over 500 animals. Art enthusiasts can spend all day at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. Stearns Warf is a historic pier, boasting a myriad of shopping and dining options.

Great landscaping, great location and awkward house configuration

This house location was excellent, the landscaping was innovative but the layout of the rooms were awkward in that the master bedroom had no closet and had a very small bathroom. It was also colder in there and also had the washer and dryer in adjacent room separated by a curtain. Also some of the pictures of the house didn’t match the actual house. We made the best of the accommodations and loved eating outside with the beautiful surroundings which were the best of the house.

We had a wonderful holiday vacation with our family. The Mesa Cottage was lovely and perfect for our family get together. It has all the comforts of home and is in a great location a couple blocks from the ocean and easy access to everything Santa Barbara has to offer. We’re excited about our next visit and hope to rent the Mesa Cottage again!!
