A classic Italianate home, newly remodeled with Art Deco and Italian appointments, Bella Vista del Mare is a stunning, waterfront, luxury rental property overlooking the Pacific Ocean on the Mesa in Santa Barbara. Elegant European styling and modern amenities come together to bring the glamour and gracious living of a past era to life for a sophisticated clientele. This unique four bedroom, three bath single-story home sits on one-third of an acre. Picture windows and skylights throughout fill the clean, modern interior with natural light.

All of these bedrooms have their own bathrooms. The Studio Bedroom has its own private entrance through a private courtyard.

The house is fully stocked, and is equipped with state-of-the-art electronics and appliances. The entire property is gated, and because it is situated back from the bluff's edge, even the garden and terrace are sheltered from the windswept point where pelicans pass by. The garden is planted with native and Mediterranean plants that attract countless hummingbirds, butterflies and songbirds. With four chaise lounges and a hot tub overlooking the garden, the ocean view terrace is a quiet and lovely spot to unwind.
We are now catering to stays of three months or longer and many of our guests stay for extended periods of time. Please let us know if you are interested in a longer term stay. We will try to accommodate your schedule and your budget. Seasonal rates may apply.

Summary: We've rented many homes on both VRBO and Airbnb over the years and the key to a great stay is the owner. Lauren couldn't have been more welcoming(didn't hover while we checked out the house, but showed us everything we needed). The house is better than the site explains. We were in SB for a wedding, and most of the attendees stayed at the DoubleTree. They were all jealous! The fit, comfort, location and amenities couldn't have been better. If you're staying in SB, stay HERE!

Summary: Laura's rental house exceeded our expectations! It was spotlessly clean and everything was is great shape. She even provided extras, such as fresh fruit, an orchid, etc. The location is central to everything is Santa Barbara. You can walk to a cove or beach from the front door. The view is peaceful, with an ocean breeze and a hot tub to relax in! This is a well thought out operation, that is far above the standards of other houses I have rented. We were a very mixed group of 6 people and all of us enjoyed the place and were satisfied. We all would like to go back again.

Summary: This was the perfect Santa Barbara vacation home. It was a perfect location with easy walk down to the beach and parks. It was impeccably decorated yet comfortable and inviting. The pictures do not do justice to how beautiful the property is inside and out. The home, especially the kitchen, was well provisioned for anything you needed including cooking a special meal or entertaining a small group. We all totally enjoyed the special touches of fresh fruit in the refrigerator. The yard overlooks the ocean and is the perfect spot to have coffee in the morning and a glass of wine at the end of the day in the beautiful hot tub. Lauren is an incredible hostess. She provided information on best places to eat and shop as well as best wine tours. She was timely in all her responses from the initial property inquiry through check in and during our stay. Great Santa Barbara vacation experience.

Summary: the property was way better than the description. The property was very unique in that when the main gate was closed and locked, you didn't have to worry about anyone coming in the full length screened windows. The house was equipped with every gadget and appliance you can think of. My wife was in heaven with real cappuccino every morning. the place was spotless and very relaxing. the owner responded to texts immediately to answer any questions or clarify how to use the appliances. The kids couldn't get enough of the great hot tub. Can't say enough about it. I would recommend this property without reservation.

Summary: From start to finish our experience was 5 stars. The homeowner was absolutely phenomenal at communication, and flexibility From the time we began our VRBO search, questions. planning and arrival details the communication was fast, detailed and fabulous costumer service. The home was in the perfect location to all that Santa Barbara has to offer, very close to the wharf, State Street, the Pier and right next to a beachfront park. We were in town for our daughters UCSB graduation and the location also worked well for all of the University festivities. The home itself was impeccably groomed, from the landscaping, to the cleanliness of every nook and cranny. The linens were fabulous. The house was stocked with everything you could possibly think of, the indoor outdoor living was amazing, with wonderful views and a great place to entertain the family during the Graduation weekend. We had a wonderful luxurious weekend and would highly recommend it! OUr only negative is that we didn't find this wonderful Santa Barbara oasis until our daughter was done at UCSB!!!!!!

Summary: The house itself was built in 1927 and had been elegantly restored and appointed. Everything in the house is of top quality from the champagne glasses, to the cookware and a spice rack better stocked than ours at home. Lauren made us feel welcome and had some pleasant surprises waiting for us upon our arrival. The backyard is picturesque overlooking the ocean, well landscaped and hummingbirds flying around throughout the day. The hot tub is very nice as well. Finally the location could not have been more convenient for beaches, biking (three nice bikes in the garage), downtown and restaurants. We hope to come back again.

Summary: This house is a delight; it is beautiful, comfortable and the best equipped vacation home that we have ever experienced any where in the world. The house was prepared and presented with meticulous attention to detail for the comfort of guests. The provision of excellent toiletries and starter items in the fridge make it easy to settle in quickly. The range of kitchen equipment and wide selection of herbs make this a very satisfying place to cook and enjoy good local produce. Finally; Lauren is a kind and charming host.

Summary: We were so pleasantly surprised when we pulled up to this beautifully decorated, and well appointed home. It is contemporary, but very warm and even cozy, which is surprising due to the generous sizes of the rooms. We could sleep all evening with the screened doors open, listening to the soothing pulses of the ocean, as the waves came onshore. The gardens were lush and green. We felt as though we were in Italy eating in some swanky grotto. Truly, if we could afford it, we would buy this home, and not change a thing.
