Perched above the Pacific in one of Santa Barbara’s most desirable neighborhoods, Modern Mesa Retreat offers a sophisticated coastal escape just minutes from downtown, the beach, and the upscale conveniences of the Mesa district. With sleek architectural lines inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and luxurious indoor-outdoor living, this impeccably appointed two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence is ideal for couples, small families, or professionals seeking a serene yet stylish getaway.

Designed as dual master suites, both bedrooms feature king-size beds, curated Asian-inspired décor, and beautifully finished en-suite bathrooms—creating a hotel-caliber experience within the comfort of a private home. Natural light filters through signature stained glass details, highlighting the home's artistic flair and modern sensibility.

The open-concept kitchen is a chef’s dream, outfitted with stainless steel appliances and high-end cookware. It seamlessly connects to the living and dining areas, making it an inviting space for relaxed meals or entertaining. Beyond the interiors, the home’s outdoor amenities are equally impressive: a gas fire pit, outdoor dining area with heat lamps, ocean-view patios, a gas BBQ, and even a private outdoor shower off the primary suite for rinsing off after the beach.

Unwind with a glass of wine as the sun sets over the Pacific, or take in the home’s tranquil atmosphere surrounded by lush landscaping. For those blending work and leisure, a spacious office nook with ample desk space and high-speed internet offers a productive, peaceful environment.

Location is everything, and Modern Mesa Retreat places you just five minutes from downtown Santa Barbara’s renowned dining, shopping, and cultural offerings. You're also only minutes from the scenic harbor, coastal trails, and Mesa’s boutique grocers, including the local favorite, Lazy Acres.

With its blend of modern design, comfort, and location, Modern Mesa Retreat is an exceptional choice for those seeking an elevated Santa Barbara experience.

Spent a lof of time on the patio both day and evening. Enjoyed the ocean view during the day and heaters at night. Inside, well equipped kitchen, large screen TV, excellent sound system, great bathrooms and showers. Situated in a quiet neighborhood in close proximity to everything we wanted to do.

We really enjoyed this property. The accomodations were very spa-like, perfect for us and our friends. It was so nice to sit outside in the morning and at night. We got to eat outside at night in beautiful surroundings. We are familiar with the Mesa and were thrilled to be able to walk around the area.

The property was great and near where my daughter lives. It was large and comfortable and near shops and restaurants that we enjoy. We will get another property the next time we are in Santa Barbara. We have recommended this rental to our friends.

Very cool house and well appointed—everything you'd need to cook, games, books, etc. We had a couple of minor issues that came up with the house. The property manager was super responsive and resolved them quickly.

Incredibly Relaxing Stay

by Eli

What an incredible place! My dad and I stayed here for four weeks and it was totally perfect for what we were looking for. There were two workstations in the office which was perfect for my dad and I to both use while working remotely. The kitchen was abundantly supplied with all of the necessities. Location provided great access on the Mesa to the beach and grocery stores. The aesthetic of this house is simply beautiful with high quality furnishings and is a perfect space for entertaining guests. The media and entertainment center was super great and although we encountered some problems with the complicated remote system, the management was very quick to respond and helped us sort out the problem. Overall this place provided us with an incredibly relaxing stay and we hope to be able to return again!

A Wonderful Retreat in Santa Barbara

by Marcela

Everything looked even nicer in person. The location is fabulous: close enough to downtown Santa Barbara but also secluded from noise and traffic… The property is beautiful, very clean and peaceful. It also has all the amenities with very detailed instructions that got us going on all the electronics in no time. We especially enjoyed the sunsets around the outdoor fire pit. It was indeed the perfect Modern Mesa retreat!!! We will definitely stay here again.

Truly An Amazing And Perfect Home!

by Lonchita

This house was perfect! Amazing home-- super cozy and comfortable. Kitchen is fantastic as is the entire feel of the house. Location is so central it was easy to get to any part of the Santa Barbara (beach, downtown, even the mountains for a hike). I really can't think of anything else I'd want in a rental.

Family and Friend Reunion

by Nancy

Our stay at the Zen Retreat exceeded all of our expectations. We came to Santa Barbara to meet up with our kids and friends and the location was perfect for all of our activities. It was easy to get to the beaches, downtown, hikes and our bike rides. Our favorite times were just hanging out in the house at night. The home is beautiful, clean, well stocked and exceptionally maintained. We will tell our friends and will come back again soon. Thank you!!!

Perfect Home, Perfect Location

by John

We loved the contemporary look of the home. Master bedroom was wonderful. Loved the spacious walk-in closet and the bath off of the master. The place was very well stocked. The location was so quiet and enjoyed all of the outdoor space including the fire pit. Location was perfect, close to a fabulous grocery store, just down the hill. Also was close to the ocean and downtown Santa Barbara. We hiked with a local hiking group in the mountains. Would highly recommend and we hope to stay there again.
