Sandpiper Lodge

8/10 Good

"Hotel is great for the price, parking was very tight. Almost had to park outside lot, did notice one car taking up 2 spaces."

A pretty home in the popular coastal section of Santa Barbara's Mesa.

10/10 Excellent

"This house was beautiful in a quiet neighborhood. It was a block from a great nature preserve to go on daily walks while gazing off at the ocean or through the trees. Very dog friendly area. It was stocked with everything we needed from the second we walked in. The owner was very kind, helpful and very responsive to a couple little things that happened here and there on our stay and immediately solved any issues. The yard was spacious, fully secured fencing and the plants made it feel like a paradise. I think we (my daughter, dog and I) spent more than half our trip in the back yard and patio area eating, playing and relaxing. There were fresh lemons on the tree to take and use (which was great for lemonade on a hot day). The beds were very comfortable and the carpet in The bedrooms were very clean and plush. The master had a 1/2 bath that really made a huge difference! The decor and overall floorplan space were ideal. The kiddo can be in the bedroom sleeping and adults in the living room watching movies at night with no worries. It was so easy to get to any place in Santa Barbara within 10-12 mins too. The neighborhood was perfect for nightly walks or scootering with the dog and kiddo. A few blocks from the stairs to get to the beach too. Super walkable and safe. Would love to stay here again."

NEW Steps to the Sand on Mesa Lane 3 BD 2BA with Jacuzzi!

10/10 Excellent

"This is a very nice house! It is very well stocked with anything you need. The yard is large and well maintained. It is a few steps away from the stairs that lead down to the beach. The beach is beautiful and wasn’t very crowded even though it was a holiday. The hot tub is a nice amenity. We would definitely stay here again."

Designer Beach House, West Mesa Beach Area 2 min walk to beach stairs

10/10 Excellent

"Coolest house in The Mesa… well constructed, well appointed, well landscaped, well loved. We will be back as soon as we can! The host was very kind and responsive and the cleaning crew was detailed and appreciated. The house is a gem!"

Las Brisas | Ocean Breezes on the Mesa!

10/10 Excellent

"This is a fantastic rental. Plenty of supplies and a wonderful kitchen. The fridge does automatically lock for an extended period of time (longer than the description online for that model says it should), which became challenging at times when preparing meals. Rooms very comfortable, yard was great. Recommend to have the landline disconnected. It would ring randomly at all times of day and night, we had to unplug it. The speaker in the kitchen randomly connected to people’s devices without permission or would randomly speak about things we did not ask it to do. Also had to unplug it during our stay. Love the proximity to the beach and overall very comfortable for our entire group!"
