About this property

Buena Vista - Private, Tranquil, Serene w/Mountain and Ocean Views

The Good View of More Mesa

​​​​​​​5 BEDROOMS | 3 BATHROOMS | 8 GUESTS
Buena Vista, meaning “good view,” is one of those rare Santa Barbara homes that have both a view of the coastal bluff and Santa Ynez mountains. Located in the exclusive More Mesa Shores community, this large ranch home is ideal for nature lovers. The back deck opens up to More Mesa Open Space, a grassland habitat for lots of cute critters that also includes miles of hiking trails. It’s not uncommon to see bobcats, coyotes, mountain bikers, and locals on horseback all in one day. Situated in between Goleta and Santa Barbara, everything is a short distance away.

The five-Bedroom home offers more than enough room for everyone. Upgraded Kitchen appliances and cozy couches make it easy to spend a night in watching the sunset through the large bay windows. The outdoor deck includes a hot tub and unobstructed views of surrounding nature. Plus there's a private walkway down to the beach.

HIGHLIGHTS:
- Views of the Ocean, Mountains, and More Mesa Grasslands
- Short Walk to a Secluded Beach
- Private Hot Tub
- Spacious - Room for Fiends and Family

This was our family vacation with our adult children and significant others and the house/property was exactly what we were looking for. The listing is very accurate and we would stay here again. Thank you for sharing this wonderful house and view of the ocean.

Beautiful property
This is the third time that we’ve stayed at this property and we have never been disappointed. I suspect that we will be returning to this property again and again in the future. The location is a little further outside of town; but it is in an idyllic spot just above the beach. We love it.

BEST GIRLS GETAWAY
The Buena Vista house was absolutely PERFECT for our girls getaway long weekend. Five of us, all in need of some peace, tranquility, and nature. We thoroughly appreciated the comfortable 5 bedrooms, spacious kitchen with everything you need to make delicious meals if you stay in (which we did!), and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating to relax and enjoy each other's company. Communication with the management team was easy - they are super friendly. Check in and out was simple and straight forward. Loved our neighborhood walks, beach walks, quick access to all the best of Santa Barbara. We are going to make this an annual trip. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous house right on the water
The house exceeded our expectations. Mid-Century Modern vibe with plenty of room for all. Beautiful neighborhood right next to the ocean and walking trail. Well appointed kitchen and loved the extra towels for the beach. Happy to stay again on my next trip south.

Amazing Location near Open Space and Beach
This is a lovely house that is very well equipped for comfortable living. We spent the Christmas holidays here with our family of 6 with 3 generations. The beach is nearby. The house is very comfortable for families and the location could not be more stunning.

Great location for a multi-generation vacation
This house was great for our group of six adults, two teens, and two infants. Two primary suites and the wing of three other bedrooms were spread out enough to give everyone some space to themselves. The property management company was very responsive and helpful. Some things to note: 1) There is no street parking allowed, but the driveway had ample room for our vehicles. 2) There is no air conditioning, which wasn't a deal breaker but we did have to manage closing and opening doors/windows daily to maintain a cooler temperature in the house in late July. 3) Be prepared for the beach tar and wear smooth-soled shoes to the beach. Several us spent quite some time digging tar out of shoe treads. -- Overall, we had a great experience at this rental and would recommend it!

We love everything about this house! And the location is serene. This was our second time staying at this lovely property with our family and it met or exceeded all of our expectations. Perfect for adults and kids of all ages, room to spread out, lots of nature to explore and a little jacuzzi to relax in. Super clean and overall a delight. We will be back!

Wonderful location but in the flight path to Airport
The property is clean and well laid out. The only concern you should be aware of is that jets fly over between 5:45 am and 11:50PM. Not very frequent but enough to wake light sleepers and halt any outdoor conversation. The bedrooms, kitchen and living/entertainment room are very nice. I wish we had had a key to the locked gate to the adjacent More Mesa park - the key to the beach worked fine.

Open space views, ocean air
Very comfortable family home, has everything! Great outdoor space for summer dinners and enjoying the outdoors. Beach a short walk away. One of the cleanest properties I’ve stayed in. Property management company was great. Some planes fly nearby to the SB airport off and on - we had fun watching them fly by, but some people might want to know that they do fly by occasionally when staying here. Great place!
