Great small little beach cottage with good family room and outdoor space. A grill and fire pit accessible along with some beach equipment. Walking distance from the Shoreline Drive park walkway and beach. Excellent communication with the owner... we'll likely be back!

This place is just right for two adults and one child. Walking distance to the beach was great. Couldn't really walk to any bars or restaurants though. The yard, while tiny, has fun outdoor furniture and a gas fire pit. Overall it was comfortable stay during a crazy UCSB move-out weekend.

Perfect Cottage Getaway !!

Loved It! This Dreamy Cottage is everything it says and more! We stayed for 4 nights with our dog and had a wonderful time. The location is perfect, and everything is within walking distance. The neighborhood is very quiet, and the back yard is private. You don't even know there are houses around you. A perfect place to stay and explore Santa Barbara !!

Lovely cottage

We had a great stay at East Mesa cottage. The place is very well equipped and super comfortable. Though we had a couple of very small hiccups upon check in, Easton was extremely responsive and took care of them immediately. The neighborhood was very quiet and you can walk to the beach in 10 minutes! It is a five minute walk to SBCC which is a really nice campus and convenient if you're checking it out for potential a college student. I would definitely stay here again.

Probably the best Vrbo I’ve stayed at!

Needed a place that could also accommodate our pup when in SB for my daughter’s tournament (she stayed with the team, this cute place wouldn’t have been big enough for her too). Wow wow I can not express enough what a gem this place is. It looked great online and just as wonderful in “real life”. It’s decorated in such a cute manner and was sooo clean. I enjoyed walking around the neighborhood of unique homes and especially the very nearby coastline. We were even able to walk the coastline from the house down to the harbor and state street area, great location. Easy check in and convenient tips were provided. Loved it.

Pet friendly quiet spot close to the beach

We really enjoyed staying at this lovely house a few blocks from the beach and the park. The house is so comfortable with a great indoor/outdoor feeling. The outside patio and backyard provide a relaxing retreat under a beautiful Jacaranda tree. The property is conveniently located near tasty restaurants and cafes, and is tucked into a pleasant, quiet neighborhood. It's well maintained, and the host is responsive and friendly. We'd definitely stay here again!
