With sweeping ocean views and easy beach access, it’s not hard to see why this Santa Barbara home caught our eye. We love the open-plan living and kitchen area, making the most of the vistas while providing plenty of space for socialising. And, with a games room, hot tub, sun-kissed garden and alfresco dining opportunities, you’ll never be lost for things to do. When you’re ready to explore, hop on the bikes for a two-wheeled sightseeing tour. Beach calling your name? Sandy shores await just down the street via a set of steps, or you can jump in the car and make the short one-minute drive to Leadbetter beach.
