About this property

Affordable Beach Getaway #9 — blocks to the Beach, Downtown State St & Funk Zone

Welcome to our Affordable Beach Getaway, perfect for those who desire a quintessential Santa Barbara location, paired with exceptional quality and price. Nestled in the West Beach Area, you'll be a short stroll from the ocean, Stearns Wharf, the vibrant Funk Zone, and acclaimed dining and downtown shops.

Kindly note that the Affordable Beach Getaway is on the second floor (walk-up).

During your stay, you’ll be lavished with all the amenities befitting a perfect getaway: complimentary champagne upon arrival, bath essentials, high-end linens, and a Nespresso machine with pods, creams and sugar as well as reserved parking which is rare in such close proximity to the beach.

Our Affordable Beach Getaway offers a fully equipped kitchen, king bedroom, full bathroom with limestone throughout, a large living room with a full-size pull out couch, Waterford fireplace, 42” HD TV. Indulge in Mediterranean-like weather and bask in the Californian sun on your own private patio. This secluded outdoor space features a dining area, chaise lounge seating, and a grill — a perfect setting to dine alfresco and cook up local produce and seafood on the grill.

The romantic bedroom features a king bed and accompanying bathroom which is completed with limestone throughout, Santa Barbara custom cabinets and a shower tub/combo.

Our luxury beach getaways —in the Historical West Beach area— reside in a historical turn of the century building which retains the charm of the day’s bygone. The building has been lovingly restored to reflect Santa Barbara's ambiance, its array of apartments revealing both romantic and European styles. Our various spaces are complemented by luxurious details from Carrera marble surfaces, hand cast plaster, 10 feet vaulted ceilings and Waterford fireplaces.

Located in the heart of Santa Barbara, you’ll be steps from the beach and blocks from Stearn’s Wharf and the harbor, world renowned dining and downtown shops, as well as the Public Market and our own local farmer’s market. Close proximity to the vibrant Funk Zone also adds to the allure. This nook where the streets meet the ocean, was was one an industrial spot, but is now a flourishing space with lively and artistic locale. The benefit of nearby bike rental shops and the downtown Amtrak station further allows for easy transportation. As you’ll be located downtown, beautiful shops and restaurants lining State Street and nearby beaches and gardens are perfect for unwinding, whereas, nearby Channel Islands and wine country prompt adventurous day trips.

Nestled between the Santa Ynez Mountains and the Pacific Ocean on the Central Coast of California, Santa Barbara offers dreamy ocean panoramas paired with Spanish-style architecture. Santa Barbara is home to miles of stretching, sandy beaches. A few steps inland, and you’ll find a trove of blooming gardens, towering palms and lush parks. This gentle crescent of California coast, known as the American Riviera, connects breathtaking beaches, soaring mountains, verdant vineyards, elevated enclaves and eclectic communities.

Why they chose this property

There are so many Santa Barbara properties available for rent. The number one difference between all of them are location, location, location. The closer to the beach and the closer to Santa Barbara the more expensive the real estate. We are 2 blocks to the beach and downtown, not on a commercial thorough fare, not next to the highway or railroad track and not a bus ride or car ride away from downtown. We combine our location with the best pricing and the best amenities. Finally, we are immaculately clean
