California is famous for its beaches and legendary beach lifestyle. As a Santa Barbara vacationer you have an advantage over the native Californian.

Santa Barbara Beach House Rental Great Amenities for Outdoor Living Tip #1: Enjoy the Great Outdoors.
A Santa Barbara beach house rental means different things to different people. Some guests are happy to scrunch sand between their toes while they watch and listen to the mesmerizing surf.

Regardless of what kind of vacation you're planning, Santa Barbara beach house rentals can help you enjoy the great outdoors. Additionally, while some are just a few steps from the beach, other Santa Barbara beach house rentals also provide proximity to shopping and great restaurants.

Santa Barbara is home to many great lounges and nightclubs that offer dinner, dancing, drinks and theme parties including Eos, the Wildcat Lounge and even a few pubs like the James Joyce.
If you wake up with a hangover, visit Cold Spring Tavern, a former 19th-century stagecoach rest stop to nurse yourself back to health. A little off the beaten path, it is now a laid-back rustic restaurant that features four fireplaces, indoor/outdoor dining, live music during summer afternoons and delicious American-style food (their breakfasts are especially renowned) just like mom used to make.

Not far from many Santa Barbara beach house rentals are some great spots that dogs can visit. Many parks and hiking trails welcome dogs on leashes, but if you want your furry friend to run free off-leash and feel the wind in his fur there are a few options. Douglas Family Park, at the end of Medcliff Road & Selrose Lane, is a 70-acre facility that features both a beach and stunning hiking trails. Hale Park, at Camino Viejo and Eucalyptus Hill Road, has lots of tree-lined walking trails. Orcutt Park, at Alameda Padre Serra and Moreno, is a long narrow exercise park that the locals favor.
If you're planning on renting a Santa Barbara beach house in mid-July, get your dog spruced and pruned for the annual Poodle Parade at the Santa Barbara French Festival (all breeds are welcome).
As with any doggy outing, bring a leash, your own poop-pick-up bags and water. Santa Barbara authorities are particularly keen that dogs visiting public places use their best guest manners.
