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

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!
