Bluewater Retreat - Ocean Views from the heart of Santa Barbara

Ocean Views from the Heart of Santa Barbara

3 BEDROOMS | 2 BATHROOMS | 6 GUESTS
There isn't a more lovely location to experience Santa Barbara’s beauty than from Bluewater Retreat. Perfectly situated across the stunning Shoreline Park, you’ll be steps from a quaint coastal walk, a path down to the beach, a short walk from several beachside cafes and many restaurants at the Harbor. This is the ideal location to chill and soak up the surfside beauty.

This three-bedroom, two-bathroom home features large bay windows in the Living Room to stay focused on that ocean view and a central stone fireplace. The Primary Suite boasts a walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom with a vintage step-down jacuzzi tub. The private backyard is complete with a hot tub, lounge chairs, and a lush tropical garden. The front patio is the perfect location to watch the July 4th fireworks, sailboat regatta, and sunset over the Channel Islands from the comfort of your own space.

HIGHLIGHTS:
- Wrap-around porch with ocean views
- Steps to cliffside park and beach
- Private backyard hot tub

Great Stay, Perfect Location

I have spent a lot of time in Santa Barbara over the years and have always wanted to stay in this neighborhood. Thew location could not be more convenient to downtown, the harbor, beaches, etc. The front patio is great for an afternoon glass of wine and the house has everything you need. All around a great house.

Perfect location

Perfect location for a walk to the beach, to watch the sunrise AND sunset. We used the deck to drink our morning coffee, eat lunch and afternoon snacks. So many wonderful restaurants within a short drive.

Bungalow with beautiful views

A great classic California bungalow. The house was pristine, one of the cleanest VRBO's we have experienced. Location is perfect across from the park with access to the ocean 5 minutes away at 1000 steps beach. Beautiful views of the ocean and the mountains in the distance.

Awesome place - we will definitely rent again!

This was a perfect place to stay for our 3 day trip to Santa Barbara. Only negative to us was that the sun didn't come out much but that's Santa Barbara in the summer. We absolutely loved walking along the beach right across from the house. Walked down to Shoreline Cafe each day for breakfast or lunch. Overall perfect - just wish we had stayed all week. Thank you so much!

Funky retro home

Enjoyed this place. It’s dated but clean and was perfect for our mixed family of teens and adults. Great for morning walks and close enough to town if you like walking. Teens not so much. Hot tub was a hit. Loved the deck views & back yard vibe Would be perfect if there were bikes, corn hole and the June gloom didn’t exist.
