Santa Barbara Ocean Front Homes
Santa Barbara Ocean Front Homes For Sale
Santa Barbara ocean front homes rarely come on the market for sale due to the low number of properties that front the ocean.

The Montecito Shores and Bonnymeade community sits next to the Four Seasons Resort and Spa and features luxury townhouses that sit in front of the beach. Next to these communities is the Sea Meadow gated community which is an oceanfront community in the upscale Montecito area. Miramar Beach homes as pictured above sit directly on the beach and offer spectacular beach views. Large estate homes that sit on the cliff side can be found in the Hope Ranch area. Below are all the ocean front homes for sale in Santa Barbara including ocean front condos. Please contact us at 888-990-7111 with any questions and to schedule a showing for you today.
