Montecito, CA

Miramar

Miramar occupies Montecito's flattest, most sea-level ground, on the seaward side of Highway 101 within the 93108 ZIP of unincorporated Santa Barbara County. The pocket sits between Hammond's Beach on one side and Fernald Point on the other, with the Rosewood Miramar Beach resort as its dominant landmark. An active Union Pacific line, shared by Amtrak passenger service and freight, passes through this section of coast and crosses the marked footpaths that lead down to the water. The resort itself spans 16 acres, addressed at 1759 South Jameson Lane, and took the Rosewood name when it reopened on March 1, 2019, a date confirmed both by the operator's own release and by independent trade-press coverage of the same event. The resort's own current tally puts the property at 158 rooms and suites, made up of 35 suites and 26 beachfront Beach House units with direct sand access, a hospitality-rating publication's listing lines up with that same total. County supervisors closed out a multi-year review in December 2024, clearing 26 affordable and workforce apartments, 8 market-rate units, and close to 17,500 square feet of new retail across two resort-adjacent lots; no construction timeline has surfaced since. Walkers can follow the sand west to Hammond's Beach and on to Butterfly Beach when the tide allows, though a rising tide can close that route at the seawalls. Cold Spring School District's foothill boundary does not reach this coastal stretch; Montecito Union School, the only campus in its own district, sits nearby at 385 San Ysidro Road.

What defines it

The Housing Stock

Price expectations in this pocket track direct beach-cove and resort proximity rather than the acreage- or hillside-driven comparisons used elsewhere in Montecito; current listings are the practical guide to value here.

Frequently asked

Are there train tracks at Miramar Beach?

Yes. An active Union Pacific line, shared by Amtrak passenger service and freight, passes through this section of coast, crossing the paths that lead down to the sand.

What is Rosewood Miramar Beach and when did it open?

It's the resort anchoring this stretch of coastline, spread across 16 acres, addressed at 1759 South Jameson Lane. This property took the Rosewood name on March 1, 2019, a date given in the operator's own opening announcement and matched independently by trade-press coverage of the same event.

How many rooms does Rosewood Miramar Beach have?

Yes. County supervisors gave final sign-off in December 2024 to a plan for 26 affordable and workforce apartments plus 8 market-rate units, together with close to 17,500 square feet of retail space on two lots next to the resort. As of the most recent check, no construction start date had been reported.

Is it possible to walk to Butterfly Beach from here at low tide?

At lower tides, yes, the shoreline stays open past Hammond's Beach on the way toward Butterfly Beach. A rising tide can cut off that route at the seawalls.

What public school district serves this part of Montecito?

Cold Spring School District's foothill boundary does not extend to this coastal stretch. Montecito Union School, the only campus of its own district, is nearby at 385 San Ysidro Road and teaches transitional kindergarten through sixth grade.

Schools Serving Miramar

Montecito Union Elementary (TK-6), then Santa Barbara Unified (7-12).

Miramar sits along the coastal stretch of the boundary Montecito Union publishes for TK-6, where the district itself notes edge-area imprecision. Montecito has no local public school district for grades 7-12, so those grades are zoned into Santa Barbara Unified, which publishes a street-address attendance lookup. District boundary pages flag edge-area variation, so confirm any specific address with the district office or the Santa Barbara County Assessor before relying on an assignment.
