Post Script Beach House

A rare find on the Mesa, this blufftop home offers a kind of quiet, barefoot luxury that’s increasingly hard to come by. Set above Leadbetter Beach, the house combines understated design with one of Santa Barbara’s most sought-after coastal outlooks—open sky, ocean, harbor, and the silhouette of the Santa Ynez Mountains.

Inside, the interiors are calm and considered. Thoughtfully designed spaces open to a wraparound deck that feels more like a continuation of the living area than a separate feature. Beyond the glass, views shift with the light and weather, making even the simplest moments feel grounded and expansive.

A private gate leads directly from the property to a footpath which will take you directly across the street to the beach. You’re steps from the sand, but tucked just enough away to feel completely still. Days here can be as slow or as active as you like. Walk to Shoreline Cafe, or the harbor or bike the waterfront path to downtown, or grab a surfboard and head straight into the water. The house is stocked with what you need—new Chatham beach cruisers, surf boards, body boards, beach essentials, a heated outdoor shower, a barbecue, and places to gather. 

Evenings are simple: a quiet soak in the hot tub, dinner outdoors, maybe lounge by the fire pit for s'mores and a glass of wine. It doesn’t need much else.

Post Script isn’t a showpiece—it’s more personal than that. Understated, deeply comfortable, and dialed in for a Santa Barbara stay that feels off the radar in the best possible way.
