Modern Mesa Retreat is a beautiful modern home that is situated on the Mesa with easy access to the beach and downtown Santa Barbara.

This nicely appointed 2 bedroom/2 bathroom home is an ideal Santa Barbara vacation rental for couples or families. Set up as two master suites, each bedroom features a spacious design, Asian decor, a comfortable king-size bed, and a beautifully finished bathroom. Architectural buffs are sure to appreciate the Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired lines throughout the house, especially the stained glass detail. The fully stocked kitchen is the perfect place for those who love to cook and prefer to do it in style. There are stainless steel appliances throughout and top-of-the-line cook-wear for your use. The kitchen also opens up to the family room, creating a nice space for entertaining or for a family to gather. Guests will also want to take advantage of the beautiful outdoor space by sitting next to the fire pit for a relaxing glass of wine.

You are sure to enjoy the sunset and ocean views that the Modern Mesa Retreat offers, as well as its quiet and peaceful atmosphere. There's a gas BBQ located on the patio and plenty of space for outdoor dining, with heat lamps to provide extra warmth after the sun goes down. After a day at the beach, you can rinse off in the outdoor shower that is located off the first master bedroom. For those who have to work while they are away, there is a large office space off of the family room with desks and chairs for your use. The house also has high speed internet available.

Downtown Santa Barbara is only a 5 minute drive, where you can explore the Paseo Nuevo mall and some of the best restaurants in Central California. If you feel like a stroll on the beach or getting a bite to eat at the popular Harbor restaurants, you can drive 5 minutes in the other direction from downtown. The Modern Mesa Retreat is also in close proximity to the Mesa retail area that provides the gourmet market Lazy Acres, Starbucks, pharmacy, DVD rentals and more.


We are confident that with its lush landscape, modern design, comfortable furnishings and great location, you are sure to enjoy Santa Barbara Vacation Rentals, Modern Mesa Retreat. It's the perfect choice when deciding where you would like to stay in paradise.

Come enjoy the many local attractions and dining options in Santa Barbara; take a day trip to the wine country, or set sail in the calming channel waters. We would love to share this wonderful home with you and help you plan your Santa Barbara Vacation!

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.
