Casa Alma del Mar | Jacuzzi + À pied de la plage

A serene Mesa retreat a short walk from Leadbetter Beach — private hot tub under an orange tree, heated covered deck, stone fireplace, and AC, sleeping 4 in 2 bedrooms. "Soul of the sea" is the name, and the house lives up to it: this is a home built around rest, from the deep sink-in sofa by the stone fireplace to the professionally landscaped garden where a hot tub steams beneath a fruiting orange tree. No parties, no crowds, no agenda — just the Mesa's easy rhythm and the beach at the end of a short walk.

THE SPACE. The living room invites full-afternoon occupation: that deep sofa, the stone fireplace, warm light. The modern kitchen gleams with stainless appliances and everything a lingering breakfast requires. Two calm bedrooms and two baths sleep four in comfort, with air conditioning for warm afternoons and a workspace tucked in for when life insists. Outside, the covered deck is heated for year-round evenings, and the private garden holds the centerpiece — citrus-scented soaks in the hot tub under the orange tree.

WELLNESS HERE. This home was designed around "rest, recharge, and a more relaxed rhythm" — garden mornings, beach walks, fireplace evenings, and the kind of quiet that's become the true luxury.

THE LOCATION. The Mesa, Santa Barbara — a short walk to Leadbetter Beach, Shoreline Café, and the harbor; minutes to downtown, the Granada Theatre, and the waterfront. Not suitable for parties or large gatherings — that's the point.

To preserve this quiet environment:
This is not a party house. If you're coming to party, this is not the place for you.
No additional guests beyond those on the reservation are permitted on the property at any time.
No outdoor music.
Maximum 4 guests.
One small, non-shedding dog may be considered for an additional fee.
No smoking of any kind on the property
Thank you for understanding.

We look forward to welcoming you and sharing the very best of the Santa Barbara lifestyle.
