Clean, comfy, convenient

Mesa Bliss is surrounded by a tapestry of lush, beautiful landscaping that makes you feel like you are walking into your very own secluded paradise. The neighborhood is safe, lovely and so quiet that we slept with the windows open every night. The house (our vacay home) was well appointed with as gas stove/oven (loved this), a comfy couch, table/chairs, fridge/freezer and lots of cabinets filled with all of the kitchen essentials. The bed and pillows were so comfortable - no restless night for us! The bedroom also had a 5-drawer dresser and plenty of room to store our unloaded suitcases. Bathroom/shower were clean. The water pressure awesome and the windows allowed for fresh air to fill the room after a steamy shower. The owner is so kind in sharing access to their washer/dryer. It came in very handy. Everything is labeled so no need to guess what switch goes to what. My husband and I enjoyed many of the wonderful attractions that Santa Barbara has to offer. (I Madonnari Italian Street Painting Festival was amazing and fun!). This place was so convenient to all of them - from the airport all the way to a drive to Solvang. We also played several rounds of golf in wonderful weather (Sandpiper/along the ocean, Alisal/Slovang, my fav and Glen Annie/hard!). We had never been to Santa Barbara and I'm so glad we decided to check it out, but moreover, I'm so glad we chose Mesa Bliss to be our home away from home. It was perfect. Don't pass up the chance to stay here!

Great location and beautiful apartment

Terrific 1-BR located in quiet and beautiful West Mesa neighborhood, within walking distance to beach and park, and short ride to downtown. Apartment was very clean and well put together, and surrounded by tropical gardens. The host and hostess were very graceful. The property is managed by a third party, and they responded quickly to all my questions. Having to go through a third party created confusion at one point, but this was quickly fixed by the home owners. All in all a great property from which to explore Santa Barbara

Mesa Magic!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The surrounding location was beautiful, with Douglas Preserve and the beach nearby, and the condo itself was serene, clean, and nicely decorated. We even passed by the owners of the main house, and they were very friendly and kind people. Thank you so much for the great experience!

Truly Blissful!!

This is such a lovely area and property. The neighborhood is absolutely beautiful and so quiet! The casita was well furnished with everything we needed. The kitchenette is very small but we could do some basic food preparation in it. We also liked using the grill. This property is conveniently located to all popular attractions without being in the middle of them! The management was very responsive when we had a question upon arrival. We would definitely recommend Mesa Bliss as a great Santa Barbara getaway!

Terrific Santa Barbara Hide A Way

Mesa Bliss is a very private guest suite with its own entry in a beautiful Santa Barbara home. It is new, perfectly clean and modern with tall ceilings, nicely decorated, all the amenities you need for your stay and a wonderfully comfortable bed. You have two private patios which we enjoyed every day. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, a short walk to the beach, and very central to all Santa Barbara has to offer. We loved our stay and will returtn again.

Cozy one-bedroom a block from the beach

Overall, a lovely place. The owners are nice folks. The rental is a block from a park with trails along the bluff overlooking the beach. The beach itself is about four blocks and 240 steps away. Close to downtown too.

Location, location, location!

Sure, the space is small, but that doesn't matter. With the Douglas Family Preserve literally a block away and Mesa Steps Beach 2 blocks away, this gem of a spot is the absolute perfect place. Everything was 10 minutes away - downtown, Goleta, Montecito, beaches etc... everything was quick and easy to get to. Plus, the space was clean, comfortable and WARM. We stayed when it was about 50 degrees and having that heat in the evenings was amazing. We had everything we needed in this spot, and we would definitely stay again!

Great quiet spot near beach and downtown

Really enjoyed my stay here! Property is in a very quiet neighborhood and just a short drive to the beach or downtown SB. The place itself is also quite nice, with a bedroom, little living/dining area, and a back patio. Clean and nicely appointed. Overall, was a great place to escape to for a weekend, relax, and get some deep focus work done. Would stay again!
