Views of Ocean & Islands & 100 Steps to Shoreline Park - 43 Five Star Reviews
This private home is an "Oasis" of calm and privacy...close to the ocean, with great access to Shoreline Park and the beach. Private yard and views on a quiet street... yet steps from the Ocean and Shoreline Park!
Great 3 Bedroom 1 Bath beach house in peaceful local neighborhood in convenient location adjacent to the Harbor, breakwater, wharf and funk zone. The house is only 100 steps to Shoreline Park, with easy access via wooden stairs to a great often secluded beach. There is a play area in the park for Kids! Walk, ride or drive a mile to the SB Harbor & the scenic Breakwater. Just a little further down the coastline is Stearn's Wharf, lower State Street and the popular "Funk Zone" area. The Funk Zone is now home to over 10 restaurants, brew houses, a bakery, fish market, over 15 winery tasting rooms and shopping.
Shoreline Park is 2 houses away - a local gem along a half mile strip of oceanfront land, made into a park in the 50's. It is so popular due to the easy walking along the ocean, a great updated kids play area, acres of grass, beach access, and even surfing at Ledbetter Point.
Ocean and island views from the kitchen, living rooms and one of the bedrooms, with a large south facing deck looking out on the ocean & islands beyond. Deck has seating for 6 and a seating area. Remodeled Kitchen, including most staples for your use, along with a dual fuel range and all of the tools to cook at home. Walk in glass shower in bath. 3 bedrooms - the Master, with a King-sized bed and slider door to the garden, the Ocean View room with a Queen size bed and the 3rd bedroom or office with a Single beds and a door to the tropical garden. There is a private deck in backyard with patio table and chairs accessible from Master bedroom and Office. There are 3 mature fruit trees - lime, lemon and tangelo available for your use, depending on the time of year!
Ocean Palms Oasis is less than 1/2 mile to Mesa shopping, the ever- popular Lazy Acres market ( boutique market with too many choices and prepared food), Vons Market, a CVS & coffee shops. The house is also close to many local restaurants, on the Mesa - the Rose Cafe, Mesa Burger, Ichiban Sushi, Alcazar Tapas Bar, Mesa Verde vegetarian, Corner Tap Brew House, Mesa Thai and at the Harbor and Stearn's Wharf area....including Tomas Italian, Brophy Brothers, The Breakwater, Harbor Restaurant, Santa Barbara Shellfish, the Lucky Penny, the Lark, and many more options .

About the host
Hosted by BR Smith
I love to travel and live like a local wherever I can. My goal is to be able to provide a "Live like a Local" experience that allows guests to chill, breathe in the ocean air and relax. I came to Santa Barbara to finish my degree at UCSB in the 70's and have never left... Lifelong surfer, hiker, walker, beach & mountain biker, volleyball player and traveler.
Why they chose this property
I fell in love with the location that first time I saw it...unique. Great views of the ocean and islands from the lounge chairs in the front yard to the deck and the kitchen area. House is located on a corner with all bedrooms off the street, quiet and private. You can be at the bluff looking out at the ocean in literally 3 minutes walk from the front door - I have done it often all times of the day...it never gets old!
What makes this property unique
I have learned so much about the property from my guests and their reviews. The proximity to the park, and the view of the ocean help to slow you down. Guests see and experience things that I do not even realize. I think that there is something about this location that appeals to almost everyone - walk to look at the ocean every day or many times a day, or just enjoy the view, the weather and stay around the house and read, or do nothing. BTW - I have not solicited the reviews that I have received, they have just come organically.
Great private views of the Ocean and Islands from the large rear deck and the living room & kitchen area. Two separate outdoor patios to enjoy the Santa Barbara weather. The close proximity to the Ocean and Shoreline Park, just steps from the front door. It is a quick walk to the ocean bluff, with views to the beach below, inviting a walk at low tide. It is so quiet at night, you should be able sleep well! The stars and moon rise over the ocean are captivating! Sunrises over the ocean 365 days a year!
A kid's playground (Tots) across the street - it is hard to find a more family friendly area for all outside activities with great accessibility to walking and a stairway down to a quiet beach. Walk, run, bike, skate to and from your front door invites you to easily do things that you may not do if you have to hop in the car. One of you or all of you can decide what do... it is hard to make group decisions, sometimes...
