West Beach Waterfront Blue Heron Retreat

About this space

Come visit us in West Beach one of the oldest continuously inhabited beach villages in California… Take in all the gorgeous views of Santa Barbara while having easy foot access to best in town local restaurants, wineries, breweries, farmers markets and Funk Zone shopping. You are in the center of it all. Did we mention the beaches? Turn left at bike path and head to Stearns Wharf, East Beach or Butterfly Beach. Turn right and you've got the Marina, Leadbetter Beach and Shoreline Park.

The space

Blue Heron Retreat was built in 1927 and has all the characteristics of a well-built Spanish Mission style duplex with tiled roof, thick rounded white walls and authentic Spanish tiles. From every angle, outside and in, gorgeous views fill the eye. Big trees and beautiful gardens in every direction. Birds abound. Shade and sun. Outdoor seating. Paradise.

We furnished our home soulfully and joyfully to reflect the respect we feel for our space. You will see authentic, handmade Turkish rugs and decor all around with some art that we gathered from all over the world during our travels. You will also see the feather blessings of the Blue Herons that live on the trees right above our property.
