Top Mesa Lane Steps Beach Hotel Reviews

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were all great and helpful. Breakfast was simple and got the job done (yogurt, coffee, danish, waffles etc.). Cookies and coffee in the afternoon were yummy. Beds were comfy and room was clean. The location was great and very walkable to the beach, pier, and state street. We will stay again!"

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"LOVE this hotel and cannot wait to come back and stay again. The whole place felt like a serene spa with the cleanliness and aromatics radiating throughout the property and each floor. The little details such as the hydration station to refill water bottles and the pump hand soap instead of bar soap made a big difference to me. The decor was immaculate and was basically my vision board brought to life. All of that combined with the perfect location in the middle of State St with walking distance to everything was a dream. We will definitely return!"

Lovely Lighthouse Way Near State St, Beach and Parks On The Mesa.

8/10 Good

"The house/kitchen/bathrooms are very well equipped, the spaces are roomy and simply laid out and everything is clean. Unfortunately the interior is very dark and on a well trafficked street. That said, it is well located to tour the sites of Santa Barbara and to take long walks on Shoreline Drive along the Pacific."

Ocean Views Stun at this Coastal Water's Edge Home

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely, tranquil, immaculate home in a friendly, residential neighborhood. The furniture is new, from The Pottery Barn. The beds and linens were beautiful and comfortable. Typical of The Mesa, the property looks out over the ocean from a cliff. It is ocean front property but not on the sand. The backyard lawn and gardens were well kept and charming. There is a lovely, large fire pit, too. Everything is in good order and immaculate. A well cared for property close to everything you would need, like shopping. . Not far from The Douglas Preserve or Hendry’s Beach (leash-free dog beach). There is everything you would need but it is not a kitchen set up for extensive cooking or baking. There are many places to sit, eat or watch TV. The bathrooms are nice but not the house’s most notable feature. The reason to rent this house is for its situation on the cliff, above the ocean, its calm and comfortable furniture and extraordinary ocean views from the indoor space and the outdoor deck.I would take friends and family here again!Also, nestled in the neighborhood is a long, mostly wooden, set of stairs leading to the sand. It took me a while to climb back up them, though the younger ladies in our group seemed to climb them without needing to rest. Photos from that location, taken in early morning or sunset, were exquisite."

The Mesa's Italian Oceanview Estate

10/10 Excellent

"This home was the perfect place for our annual sorority reunion. Enough space for us all 60 something gals to enjoy one another and have private space. The bedrooms are all on the ground floor, the common area upstairs is spacious enough for all 8 of us to gather and dine. The ocean views are very nice."

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

8/10 Good

"This is the second time we have stayed out this home. We are frequent visitors to Santa Barbara and the location of this home is outstanding. Amenities and restaurants are about 5 minutes by car. The beach and Douglas Preserve are a 5 minute walk. This home has lovely and serene outdoor areas in both front and back. Beds comfortable and linens high quality. This home has the best fire pit and the best fireplace of any home we have ever rented. It is Both are gas and give off real warmth. This is a grown up house and I, think, a house best suited for adults. White rugs, white furniture and a silk covered head board all require extra caution. There is an additional required weekly cleaning fee which is not included in the price. There were also taxes that did not appear in the final VRBO “ guaranteed “ total. Neither of these things would deter me from returning to this home. And, it should not deter you. It is worth it."

Darling, Beach-Close, 6 Blocks to Bch Stairs, Walk to Dine, Shop, Park, Grocery

10/10 Excellent

"Great place for a couple traveling with a pet. Good and prompt communication with our host. Super location in a quiet walkable neighborhood, with easy access to town and more. Very comfortable bed and bedding. Would definitely stay again on a future visit to SB!"
