Beach house vacation rentals in Santa Barbara

Great location, hot tub and pool were really great, great family spaces. We had a great week there. Also, Melissa was very helpful in mailing me something I accidentally left behind in the house.

A very charming space with a gorgeous yard! Loved the decor and amenities. Such a nice neighborhood so close to the beach and seashore trail. Plenty to see and do.

We really loved staying at the house. Walking around the neighborhood, friendly people, and the beach cruisers came in handy. The location was near many places that we wanted to visit. We are looking forward to our next booking at this house!! Thank you again for all your assistance

Easy check in. Very nice place. Plenty of towels to enjoy pool and spa. Very nice backyard.

This home and property are magic! Truly THE most heavenly place on earth. Pictures don’t even come close to doing it justice but I promise it is worth every penny. Connie is the sweetest woman, and makes the stay even more special. My family will forever be returning here to make the sweetest memories!

We just completed a wonderful stay at this vacation home, and I can’t say enough great things about it. It's a gem that is located at the heart of Malibu with great views of ocean, sunset and beautiful overall scenery. Property is nestled in a beautiful, natural setting and feels incredibly clean, secure, and comfortable. I noticed a few older reviews mentioning wildlife concerns, but I’m happy to report that those encounters are totally unfounded since entire outdoor area was equipped with premium quality snake and insect repellents that looked like little outdoor solar antennas and the home itself is sealed and spotless. We never had a single issue the entire time we were there and on the contrary we enjoyed the stay so much that we were debating and planning future dates in booking this place again for a birthday getaway. Inside, the home was sparkling clean, with cozy touches that made it feel like a true retreat and the backyard was amazing! Amazing place! Highly recommend it!

A real gem. Aside from the stuff you can check off on an AirBNB form (clean, stylish, etc), this is a house that obviously was or is lived in, not just a property someone bought to rent out and filled with the shortest possible Target shopping list they could get away with. The kitchen is comprehensively set up with quality appliances and tools, and the bedrooms had actual bedside lamps that you could read by *and* turn off without getting out of bed.

My son stayed here while he waited for his school apartment to be ready. Hosts were very kind and hospitable.

We had a fantastic stay at this charming beach house in Oxnard! The home itself is super cute and incredibly comfortable—perfect for our family trip with young kids and dogs. The hosts went above and beyond in thinking through every detail: there were kid-friendly plates and cups, dog bowls and leashes, high-quality toiletries, and a well-stocked kitchen that made it easy to settle in and enjoy. The location is wonderful—you can see the ocean from the house, and it’s just a short, easy walk to the sand, even with toddlers in tow. The beach feels semi-private despite being public, which made for a peaceful and relaxing experience. We also loved how quiet and safe the neighborhood felt. Our kids could walk around comfortably, and we appreciated the calm, friendly vibe of the area. All in all, a perfect beach escape for families. We’d absolutely stay here again!

We enjoyed our time here very much, thanks you Angela and the hosting team, your proactive messages and tips were very helpful and made our stay better than we even expected!

Wonderful home within walking distance to the Pacific Ocean. Convenience store within walking distance as well. Booking the place happened very quickly even as we were looking at the last minute. Response communications were very timely as well. The house was very cozy and conducive to our family getting together for my niece's graduation at CSU-CI. Loved that you can open the windows for fresh air. Beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed using the kitchen for home cooking and baking. Upstairs/outside deck was very nice, but we all preferred to stay inside the house. Totally recommend Jesse & Abha's home for your vacation get-away needs.

We absolutely loved staying in David’s home. It was right near the beach for us to walk to in the morning. And while our entire family felt right at home, our cat was the one who felt the most heartbroken to leave 🥲 Typically, it takes him awhile to adjust to new spaces and can make him quite anxious. But in David’s beautiful Ventura home, he felt safe, comforted, and absolutely LOVED the environment. We’ve literally never seen him happier. There were so many big open windows for him to look out of, and the scratchy rugs were especially comfortable. We couldn’t have loved an Airbnb any more than this home and how happy it made all of us! Thank you David!

Such a great place to stay. Great for families, bbq and enjoying the sunset. Stepping stones to the beach. Worth every penny! We will be back!

This place was perfect for our family of 4. The beach is at the end of the block. Easy walk to the grocery store, Starbucks and several restaurants. The home was clean and uncluttered and also had little extras like books, board games and laundry detergent. We used the beach chairs provided each night to walk down to the beach and enjoy the sunset.

Had a great time staying here. Very peaceful neighborhood. Lots of fun things to do close by.

This is a gem. Perfect location. Great house. Set up perfectly for our family of 5. The hot tub and back yard are so cute. The photos do not do this place justice. My family and I made some great memories here and would love to come back someday. John is a great host and we are so happy we chose to stay here.

Cozy and immaculately maintained 70’s nautical beach vibes. Extremely friendly and responsive host. A very special place! Two things I did not like: 1. 4pm check-in (3pm more reasonable) 2. 10am checkout! (Should be 11am) These adjustments would be more fair to guests still leave plenty of time for cleaning before the next guests arrive.

Megan’s beach house is perfection! Beach front with stairs leading down to the beach. Jacuzzi and fire pit were added bonuses. My family of 4 will definitely book again for next summer. Towels, dishes, blankets etc. all provided!

We had a great stay! The place was clean and updated, and we were comfortable there. Derek was very responsive and quickly dropped off items that we needed during our stay. The location itself is great - walkable distance to the beach, nearby preserve, and quick drivable distance to most everything in the area (10 mins max).

Brent was very attentive & checked in with us several times. Brent was very gracious to change my dates as I had a last minute change. He left us a welcome gift. The home was perfect for us in a nice neighborhood. The large backyard was so nice with many amenities. Enjoyed the spa. Location was very convenient. Definitely would go again and recommend to others. Karen B

Beautiful and peaceful house! We would absolutely stay here again. The house is on a nice, quiet street and is spacious and filled with light. Everything looks like it has recently been redone and it is beautifully designed and decorated. The deck, hot tub and fire pit are all wonderful. You are a ten-minute drive from almost everything. My husband and two kids had a lovely stay. We would absolutely rent this house again when we return to Santa Barbara. One of the best Airbnbs I've been to.

We stayed as a family of 3 adults and 1 small dog and absolutely loved Mary’s place. A little vacation in Santa Barbara has been on our bucket list and we adored the view and the Shoreline park / Thousand Steps beach within literal walking distance (great for morning and evening walks). It’s also within walking distance to the harbor and Leadbetter beach! The spacious patio area was great for our dog to run around in and Mary’s place was very accommodating and dog friendly! Everything was spotless and as beautiful as the pictures, with easy instructions within the house manual and great communication from Mary. I’d recommend this to anyone wanting a beautiful getaway in SB in a beautiful neighborhood and an incomparable view. (The only thing to note is that the street outside Mary’s place and the park across doesn’t really have lighting at night, so it can/will get VERY dark, but the front patio has motion sensor lighting we used for our dog’s potty breaks at night!)

Nice house in Santa Barbara in a quiet neighborhood. Just a quick drive from the beach and downtown. The spa is a great amenity to relax after a day out .

Our friends stayed for the weekend while attending a wedding and had the best stay at Driftwood Properties! The home has stunning ocean views and is walking distance to many local shops and restaurants. Aidan was a fantastic host - offering complimentary wine tasting and even a free spin class! If you are looking for a fun weekend get away I would highly recommend staying here!
