Welcome to Adventures at Arroyo Burro; your sun-drenched summer getaway in the heart of Santa Barbara’s beloved beachside neighborhood, the Mesa! Just a short stroll to the sandy, dog-friendly shores of Hendry’s Beach and the ocean view trails of the Douglas Family Preserve; this charming 1,300 sq. ft. home is made for beach lovers, outdoor explorers, and relaxation seekers.

Step inside to find three cozy bedrooms and two full bathrooms, along with a flexible bonus room that’s perfect as a workspace, playroom, or extra sleeping area. Stay connected (or stream your favorites) with lightning-fast Wi-Fi and smart TVs throughout, while one bedroom is kept screen-free for true unplugged rest. The kitchen is fully equipped for summer cooking—blend smoothies in the morning or mix cocktails to enjoy on the patio.

But the real magic? The beautiful backyard! This private outdoor haven is framed by lush tropical landscaping and features a hot tub, a cozy gas fireplace with colorful Spanish tile, and stylish lounge seating, ideal for enjoying warm Santa Barbara evenings. Dine alfresco, toast under the stars, or soak after a day of surf and sun—it's your personal slice of paradise.

The home also includes parking for two vehicles in the driveway, with additional street parking available. From this peaceful base, you're just minutes from vibrant dining scenes, local shopping, wine country day trips, and coastal sailing adventures.

We're proud to welcome well-behaved dogs (sorry, no cats), and happy to help you plan your perfect summer vacation. Whether you're chasing sunsets, paragliding above the coast, or simply lounging in the backyard with a cold drink, Adventures at Arroyo Burro is ready to make your Santa Barbara escape unforgettable!

Comfortable, Well-Equipped Home in a Quiet, Pet-Friendly Location

by Rita

We had a great time at the property, very nice home, quiet location, short walk to the beach and beach side restaurant. The house is very well equipped, kitchen, bathrooms .. nothing is lacking and the beds are super comfortable. It was nice that the property is pet friendly, our son and family lives in SB and they could come over with their 4 legged family member for dinner after work. Close enough to town for outings during the week and we really appreciated the backyard and BBQ .. overall a very beautiful week stay. Thank you

Perfect Family Getaway Near Hendry's Beach

by Michael

Great spot to get away with the family. Close to Hendry’s Beach and its amazing restaurant and bar. We hiked the nearby trails, we enjoyed the smoothing jacuzzi in the peaceful backyard, and we melted into the super comfy mattresses afterwards. Highly recommend this spot.

Great location, bright and clean house!

by David

The house is everything you see in the pictures—and so much more! It's located in a very quiet neighborhood, just a short walk from one of the most beautiful dog-friendly (even off-leash) beaches in California. Cozy and perfect for a relaxing stay!The hot tub is actually newer and more modern than it appears in the pictures

Perfect Home in a Quiet Neighborhood – Highly Recommend!

by Grace

This house was perfect! It was clean, plenty of room for everyone to enjoy a comfortable space. Great, quiet neighborhood with close access to State Street. Added bonus, there is a beach just blocks from the house. Would definitely rent again. I highly recommend this house!!

Lovely Home in a Prime Location

by Kristen

Beautiful home in an amazing neighborhood, walking distance to the beach and hiking. Great backyard space with comfy seating, beautiful nighttime lighting, and a great fireplace. Very easy access to town with great restaurants, short drive to anywhere in SB, but located in a nice quiet neighborhood. Do not miss sunrise and sunset at Hendry’s Beach or at the Douglas Family Preserve above it. Great walking trails and dog-friendly (off-leash dog areas on the beach and within the preserve)!

Clean, Cozy Home in an Amazing Location!

by Amy

We stayed in December 2024. The house was clean and well-equipped. Very nice gas fireplaces inside and out. The big draw is the location! It’s just down the road from Hendry’s beach and the park. Would definitely stay again !

Convenient, Clean, and Great for Holiday Cooking!

by Patty

Enjoyed the house much. Very convenient to all places we wanted to go. Kitchen was good to cook in since we cooked a holiday dinner. The coffee was great. Very nice and clean except for a couple of pots that needed rewashing. Definitely recommend!

Pleasant, Clean Home in Quiet Neighborhood Near the Beach

by Kirk

The house is pleasant and clean and located in a quiet residential neighborhood within walking distance to the beach. Kitchen was well appointed and had all of the necessities. Furnishings were good. Back yard is nice with an area to sit next to a gas fireplace, an outdoor dining table, and a hot tub. Didn't have much reason to communicate with the property manager. Pre-check in communications were fine. All in all, stay was fine. This is a good mid-range option.

Beautiful Home Base in Santa Barbara—Close to Beach and Amenities!

Lovely Home with Great Amenities—Perfect for Family Gatherings!

by Deb

Very nice house. Our family gathered for a wedding— 6 adults and one dog. Although we did not cook, the kitchen was very well equipped — much better than average rentals. The beds were comfortable and the hot tub was a big hit. Lovely back yard. Those who were working found it a comfortable place to work. Highly recommend.

VRBO Review

by Joseph

We stayed here with family for UCSB graduation weekend. This is a great home in a nice residential neighborhood near the beach. The unit was incredibly clean and in perfect condition. The jacuzzi and gas grill were added bonuses. The kitchen is well appointed with pretty much everything anyone could need. It is not cheap, but you will get what you pay for. Highly recommend!

VRBO Review

by Bridget

We had a great time at this property. It was well stocked with everything you need to enjoy SB and this home. Hendry's Beach was a fun easy walk and the restaurant there has yummy food! We also loved walking in the preserve. Beautiful vistas from there to enjoy and lots of dogs. The hot tub was nice to come back to and the kitchen had everything we needed. The store is an easy drive from the house for anything you could need. It was great that our two teens got their own rooms (comfy beds) and we enjoyed playing board games that were there. Would love to stay again when we are back in SB!

We enjoyed our stay so much! This home had everything we needed... and more! The outdoor space is fantastic with great evening lighting. Initially, we had a few homes to choose from and are so glad we chose this one. It was even better than we expected! Also, the beds were comfy, there were plenty of linens, towels etc and even a game closet! Thank you for letting us stay here! Truly a wonderful week here.

VRBO Review

by Carmen
We rented as 4 adults and 2 young children. This property completely met our expectations. It was very clean, check-in was a breeze and the property was spacious and comfortable. Even though our stay was in February, we were able to take advantage of the beautiful outdoor patios. The outdoor fireplace and patio heater made for a comfortable dinner an evening when temps cooperated. The mattresses were very comfortable; something very important to us for our two-week stay. The kitchen is adequately equipped for meal preparation. It is very well-equipped for making and serving cocktails and appetizers. There are no dishes or utensils for children nor pack in play available so plan to bring your own. One of the absolute best features of this property is location. This quiet dead end is less than two blocks from Hendry's Beach which is popular for dog walkers and lovely for walking and beautiful sunsets. There is a restaurant right on the beach. (There are those who sunbathe there but it is not the best SB has to offer.) There are trails for walking 1 block in either direction from the house and the property is an easy walk or VERY quick drive to Elings Park and its many trails. Any SB restaurant or shopping venture is no more than 10-12 minutes. Wi-fi was excellent. There are four large TVs although we never turned them on in beautiful SB. We will absolutely not hesitate to rent this property again when visiting along with additional family members.

This was a great house just up the street (a short walk) from Hendrys Boathouse and the beach. Just a 7min drive from all of the downtown chaos etc but nice that the grocery and whatever needs you might want are nearby. We would definitely come back. It's a nice quiet neighborhood.

by Scott
Great location to Hendry's beach and The Boathouse, where we ate daily, try the breakfast special crab cakes soft poached egg chipotle sauce. 12-minute Uber ride to downtown, so it's not convenient to the City. You will be stuck in a suburban neighborhood. The outdoor gas fireplace is great.

by Michael
This property worked out very nicely for my family of four. The location is fantastic, as it is close to everything (including Arroyo Burro Beach and Boathouse at Hendry's Beach, both a 10-minute walk). The neighborhood is peaceful and the home is clean and charming. It has everything you might need. Overall we recommend this property and would stay here again in the future.

While in Santa Barbara for a wedding, a party of 8 stayed in this unbelievable property. Clean, fun, and an easy 10-minute walk to the beach, and restaurants- we could have not asked for anything better! If we are ever back on the west coast- this property is a must!

Easy Breezy Get Away

by Teresa
Beautiful home, everything we needed, charming patio with cafe lights, fountain, fireplace for chilly beach nights and a gas heater too for dinners outside. The beds were super comfortable and the highlight was the easy walk to the beach . A really great beach , and the topper is you can bring dogs to the beach and off leash section. Our four legged family members had true dog joy every day. Highly recommend this home for a easy breezy beach get away.

Arroyo Burro

by Johnny
We had a wonderful time. The location is within a 10 minute walk to the beach in one direction or to hiking trails and bike paths in the other direction. The home was very clean and well equipped. You will have to bring all your own food including condiments , coffee and sugar. We would definitely stay here again. The weather was also beautiful.
