David was very communicative before, during and after our stay. The house and amenities were exactly as described, the location was great, neighborhood is quiet, and the place worked perfectly for our family get-together and pets! We would definitely come back.
The house was perfect for our family of 7 and 2 babies. It was very spacious! It exceeded our expectations. The extra room/garage further added to the feel of the house having a lot of space. The location is perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would def stay here again if and when in Sb again!
Absolutely wonderful 24 hours in this lovely home perfect for our family gathering celebrating a milestone birthday. The pool table in the garage was such a wonderful feature. Easy to walk to coffee and grocery store. Beautiful location quiet neighborhood excellent stay! David was a responsive host via text and we appreciated his quick communication when we had questions!
HI, we have 3 homes in Santa Barbara, and the other 2 are from 1905. Original Craftsmen places and so this 1986 home on the Mesa is large and 'modern' to us. But that can be relative, of course!
And we do love our original turn of the century homes, but also this spacious place nearer to the ocean. We do hope to see you again and thanks, David
La Mesa House is in a great location to explore and enjoy Santa Barbara. It was clean and comfortable and my family and I, 6 adults, felt right at home on our weekend away together. We will definitely be back again.
The house was perfect and exactly what we were looking for. The neighborhood has everything you need with grocery stores, convenience stores, restaurants all within walking distance. Also super close to state street. Highly recommend!
A nice, affordable, closer to the beaches large (8 person) property in Santa Barbara. Lot cheaper than a Marriott courtyard but as good or better. Very responsive host.

Wonderful comments and we thank you so much. Best, David
Great location, comfortable for large family/multi couples
We stayed two great nights at the Mesa house. Loved its walkability to the Mesa steps and beach as well as restaurants and grocery/drug stores. Backyard was pleasant, too. We enjoyed gathering around the kitchen table as we always do :) While we didn’t cook there we noted the well stocked kitchen. Eight minute drive to downtown!

Close to the community college, walking distance to groceries and restaurants. The home is welcoming, clean and we loved our stay. We brought our dogs and the home was exactly what we needed.

Thanks tons for the great review and details! Best David
We had a nice stay while visiting family for the holidays. The pool table in the garage was fun. House was clean when we arrived. Beds were comfortable. Steps to the beach at Mesa Lane. A good grocery store an easy walk at Meigs Rd.
This property worked out very well for our weekend stay for our son’s wedding. House had everything we needed, including a Keurig coffee maker and a French press. We mostly came and went between wedding weekend activities, very quick drive to DT Santa Barbara and the coast.
Large enough to gather some family for the in between times. Two driveway parking spots and street parking is available, which was nice to have also. Very good & quick communication when needed. Would definitely stay here again!
Absolutley perfect location, roomy house, fun pool table. The only thing I would say needs work is the fan in bathroom doesnt work and theres no window so it gets steamy! Minor and Im sure not a regular thing. You can walk to the best grocery store (Lazy Acres) and other stores as well, also walkable to beach. We had a great time. Would not hesitate to book again if we are coming back to the area.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Disliked: Listing accuracy
Surprisingly spacious, but dated, floor plan. Kitchen was awkward and lacking in basic amenities, but otherwise adequate. Very few cleaning supplies. More instructions needed (oven, garage door, and washing machine all not intuitive to operate). Neighbors were noisy and nosy. Apartment upstairs was unexpected. One shower was dangerously slippery. Drapes did not provide privacy.
We very much enjoyed our stay at La Mesa House. It was big enough for our group of six, and sometimes 8. It was clean and stocked. Loved the pool table in the garage.
And a bonus for us was that there is a 240 step walkway, within walking distance from the house, down to the Santa Barbara beach where we watched local surfers on the water and dogs playing on the beach.
To top it off, Eliza and David were great to work with and kept in contact all the way through. Thumbs up to La Mesa House!
