The Cottage at Miramar

This historic beach cottage is perched directly on the sand in Montecito’s exclusive Miramar neighborhood. A five-minute walk down the beach leads you to the Rosewood Miramar resort offering spa treatments, beach services, and a Michelin-starred restaurant. A short drive lands you in downtown Santa Barbara for more award-winning dining and shopping options.

This home dates back to the early 1900s and was originally a “day shack” for sun worshipping beach goers to take refuge on hot summer days. Enter on the upper level with a unique pitched ceiling and skylights with large bay windows centered on the ocean. The Living and Dining Rooms meld together and are anchored by an open Kitchen extended by a deck that features glass railings for unobstructed views.

The lower level rooms were designed to feel like the staterooms on a yacht. Please note that the 3rd guest room with the bunk beds has to be accessed by the 2nd guest bedroom. This is a great set up for families but not for couples traveling together.

Please note that during certain seasons and weather patterns, there isn’t always a sandy beach directly in front of the home. However, a short walk will offer a sandy place to relax and kick off your shoes.
