Our stay was wonderful...we are already thinking about returning next year. The property and proximity to the beach, reserve and local amenities were ideal.
This is a beautiful property with a great location close to the beach and fantastic restaurants. The kitchen is fantastic for anyone who enjoys cooking and the backyard is a great place to chill with a glass of wine. A fantastic place to stay in Santa Barbara.
Iâve enjoyed the mesa for years. Kathrynâs home is relaxed and peaceful. Birds chirping in the morning and an easy stroll in the evening to the Douglas Family Preserve. The home is well stocked and well kept. Master bed is very comfortable. Hot tub is a huge plus! Iâm excited for my next visit.
Our host offered A+ service with kindness. The kitchen is more than well stocked with all high end items. The setting is comfortable and relaxing, very well maintained. Kathryn was available to take care of any issue should something come up. Highly recommend, will stay again for that short walk to the ocean!
This was our second stay here. It truly felt like home with all the fine touches including designer bedding, linens, toiletries and fully stocked kitchen. The backyard was an oasis with spa, water feature, fruit trees, and lush landscaping. A gardener, spa serviceman, and house cleaner assures everything is kept up during our stay. The host was super responsive and went over and above to make sure our stay was just right. We can't wait until we go back again!
Great house and location, easy access to the beach off Mesa steps and a quick drive or walk to Arroyo beach. Nice office to work from, great art-- Not a big deal but be helpful if....
Living room TV had the option to activate Apps for a movie, couch is real low to the ground - truly though it is a great house in a lovely location.
Thank you Kathryn. You have created a beautiful home. Tasteful furnishings and layout. The outdoor vinyettes were wonderful depending on if you wanted sun, shade or both! The kitchen is top of the line. The location is ideal to walk to the Mesa steps, Douglas Preserve or the business district for groceries, coffee shops and restaurants. I had a wonderful month.
Had a two week stay and the home was perfect. The home was quiet, clean, and had updated decor. The outside area was beautiful and relaxing with the sounds of the water fountain. The house had great spaces to allow me to work remotely in the office or find a quiet space to read. The neighborhood is very friendly and the location was exceptional. Just a couple blocks away from the Douglas Preserve with soaring views of the coast, the intoxicating smell of eucalyptus, and an off leash dog park for us dog lovers. The home is less than a block from the Mesa Steps to the beach and close to grocery stores, drug stores, and both chain and local restaurants. Thank you. Kathrine, for sharing your lovely home.
Super home, beautifully designed and furnished. The backyard is a wonderful retreat and includes a hot tub, and outdoor shower. The location couldnât be better: close to both the Mesa Lane steps and the Douglas Preserve, and 10 - 15 minutes to downtown, Montecito and Ellwood.
Already looking forward to our next stay!
The home is a beautiful oasis, the grounds are private which enables you to have the doors open and enjoy the fresh air with a ton of privacy. The location is second to none if you have a dog, the beach access as well as Douglas park make walks a joy. The home is beautiful and perfect for remote work or just relaxing. We were there during some pretty bad weather but it didn't matter because the house was very comfortable when we couldn't get out. I absolutely loved this house and location. Kathy was also very responsive to any questions or concerns we had.
The house was perfect for a longer stay in Santa Barbara. Great location in quiet neighborhood right by the stairs down to the beach. Very long walks on the beach possible at low tide. The 243 steps will keep you in shape! The Wi-Fi is great and two desks for a couple working from home. The A/C was very handy on the few warm days. The house is a great design. We enjoyed all the outdoor living space as well. We would love to stay here again!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our month-long stay at Katherineâs West Mesa home. The home was very well designed and well appointed. All of the interior space was maximized; and, double doors across the front and back of the house allowed us to enjoy true indoor-outdoor living. The ceilings were tall and furnishings were fashionable and comfortable. Katherine has truly maximized the design of her home. The house was outfitted with all of the appliances, dishes, cooking utensils, soap, paper towels, and essentials that a traveler could need. The privacy fences allowed us to enjoy both the front and back yard - the fountains, the fire pit, the dining areas and lounging areas. In addition to the excellent lay out, decor and comfort of the house, the location was wonderful. It was mere steps from the access to Mesa Lane Beach. Heading toward downtown from the house, a pedestrian walkway connected with Shoreline Drive and the pedestrian walkway through Shoreline Park and past Stearnâs Wharf. Walking north there were numerous walking paths through the Douglas Family Preserve, the Arroyo Open Space and Park and through and around Elings Park. It was a perfect location for walking or jogging exercise opportunities. We were well satisfied with our stay in Katherineâs home and look forward to returning to enjoy the home, location and beautiful surroundings.
This house was the perfect place for our 2 month post surgery stay in Santa Barbara. Comfortable, peaceful, relaxing. 2 spacious en-suite bedrooms and a wonderful outdoor shower.
Love the open floor plan. Opening the doors every morning and being able to sit outside no matter the weather or time of day, really made the place special. It is so close to everything. Walking distance to the Mesa steps and the beach, Douglas Preserve, markets, restaurants, and pharmacies.
Would go back in a heartbeat!
We've stayed here twice and both times have been perfect. The house is great, but the outdoor space is our favorite. A very private beautiful yard with a spa, outdoor shower and firepit. We barely use our car here as it is an easy walk to the beach, Elings dog park, the grocery store and a few great resturants. This place is awesome!
This was our fourth time to stay at Cooper Road. Kathy continues to make upgrades and purchases to make the stay more comfortable and enjoyable. The home is located in a quieter part of the Mesa and the garden affords complete privacy yet thereâs ample shopping, restaurants and beach access nearby Weâve created nice memories here.
This home has a warm, organic, classy feel to it. Everything thing you need to cook, be comfortable and enjoy your time away from home is here. The Master Bedroom bed is so comfortable, with fabulous pillows and high quality bedding.
Location is close to every where you might need to go in SB, or you can just stay home and cook in this fabulous gourmet kitchen that has âeverythingâ you might need. Loved every minute and hated to leave.
We have been renting in Santa Barbara for years, this place is the best. The outdoor living space is over the top. Very private, quiet, awsome fire bowl, great outdoor shower, comfortable furniture and beautiful landscape. The house is lovely, very clean and comfortable. We barely used our car as you can easily walk to the beach, grocery store a few resturants and Elings Park. Kathryn was very nice and easy to work with. Nothing but great things to say about this place.
We decamped to Santa Barbra while we continue to work from home and this lovely property checked all our boxes- office space, quiet and peaceful surroundings, big kitchen and outdoor space. After a long day of working, a quick walk to the beach followed by a night in the backyard around the fire pit was the perfect way to unwind. As we packed up to leave, we were already thinking of our next trip to this lovely home. The host was communicative and informative and it was a pleasure booking with her.
We enjoyed our stay in February 2020 so much, that we rented the property again during July and August. It was well worth the effort to drive from Texas. Safety was one of our 'must haves' in choosing a location and Cooper Road fit the bill. The vast majority of locals wore masks and the property is ideal for avoiding crowds, being located in a quiet neighborhood. We made more use of the outdoor space this time and ate outside every night of our stay. Highly recommended.
I love the Mesa. I had zoned in on this area and kept searching until I found the perfect spot. It is close to all the fun in Santa Barbara, the harbor, funk zone and down town. Yet it has the most wonderful beach that feels like it's you and nature . It is quiet and has so much open space just a short walk away. You can ride bikes to a gourmet market and restaurants. It is a hidden gem in Santa Barbara.
A quiet spot with such easy access to the ocean and open spaces. The most beautiful sunsets and ocean breezes. The house flows from indoors to outdoors with complete privacy. All of this and still just a short drive or bike ride to all of the fun that the city of Santa Barbara has to offer and beautiful uncrowded open space.
