The Boathouse

Paradise on the beach! Sitting right on the sand at one of the most beautiful semi-private beaches in Santa Barbara, The Boathouse is the perfect retreat! This property is located on the best part of Miramar Beach! Constructed of teak, mahogany and white spruce, accompanied by etched and stained glass windows, this unique cottage has been designed to look and feel like a well-built custom sailing vessel. The property consists of two separate one bedroom/one bathroom units joined by a connected stairway inside and a common entrance from the outside. Each unit can be rented separately (sleeping 2 adults and 2 children) or together for a maximum of 6 to 8 people. Please take into consideration that this property is equip with multiple sets of stairs that are required for access down to the unit and down to the beach.
The Upper Unit features a fireplace and larger enclosed deck. The Lower Unit sits closest to the sand. Views are unobstructed from the deck as there is no railing and just sandy beach below. During high tide you may just be able to dangle your feet in the water from the deck! At either property you can relax and enjoy the amazing view as you listen to the sound of the surging waves. Let the waves lull you to sleep in a comfortable queen size bed. For your entertainment, this cozy cabin is also equipped with a television, cable TV and wifi. However, you will be too busy enjoying the outdoors! Just a few steps to the sand, where plenty of beach accessories await for your enjoyment chairs, umbrellas, kayaks and boogie boards included.

When you are ready to enjoy a meal, a small kitchen provides all that you need for cooking or step up to the roof deck for your barbequing pleasure! (Deck is shared with lower unit). If eating out at great restaurants is more your style, Montecito's lower Village is only a mile away and downtown Santa Barbara is a short 10 minute drive.

Please Note: If both units are rented by separate parties, expect some interaction due to the nature of the internal stairs, upper deck, shared laundry, and common stairs to the beach. This property is equipped with multiple sets of stairs that are required for access down to the unit from the parking lot and down to the beach. It may not be suitable for guests with mobility issues.

*Take advantage of the lower rates now! Rates have been discounted until Summer 2019 as there is construction happening next door at least until summertime. We have no control over this, and the noise levels may vary/ be non-existent, depending on when you book. Please keep this in mind while looking!*

Enjoyable
Great vacation spot. We spent a week there. Would do it again. The stairs from the bedroom to the kitchen are dangerous at night Owner should add a railing and night light.

Awesome Beach Front Holiday
The Boat House is a super cool bungalow just steps to the beach. Both top and bottom units are well decorated like spacious cabins on a fine yacht. The "galleys" had everything we needed to prepare fine meals. The units are well furnished and equipped with everything else needed for an enjoyable stay at the beach. The sunrises over the water were incredible. The beach walks excellent. We could not stop gazing at the ocean through large picture windows, We will be back to stay here again! - The Nielsen Family

Amazing beach house directly on the beach
Charming, very clean house with a well equipped kitchen if you like to cook. The location and ocean view were unparalleled. So easy for the kids to go directly on the beach. Stocked with everything you would need for the beach. We would definitely go again!

Great little slice of heaven
The house is really cute. It’s as pictured, just quite small — which doesn’t matter when your front yard is the ocean. Very well equipped, we had absolutely everything we needed. Comfy beds! Tiny bit of a musty smell, but again, it’s the beach. Perfect location!

Great location for our short stay in Santa Barbara
The Boat House just right for our family visit to Santa Barbara for Easter weekend - five adults fit cozily and comfortably in the two bdr/2 bath units (upper and lower). Kitchen well stocked. Bedroom beds comfy - downstairs sofa bed was fine. Plenty of clean towels, sheets, blankets, etc and beach toys, though we didn't use any. Only issue was mildew odor from drains when we first arrived that dissipated after windows opened. Wifi helped us watch NBA Playoffs on our devices as Boat House TV/Cable was limited. Construction warned about before renting did not get underway until 8 AM Monday morning - so no issue. All and all, a heavenly spot to be in for three nights - utterly peaceful and charming. Owners/property manager was attentive and responded quickly to all inquiries.
