About this property

Rare West Beach Studio #4 — blocks to the Beach, Downtown State St & Funk Zone

The Rare Beach Studio is a rare find, where modern design meets top-tier finishes in every detail. Just a stone's throw from the ocean, Stearns Wharf, the vibrant Funk Zone, and acclaimed dining and shops, our quintessential location adds to the allure.

Please note that is exclusively available for 1 guest and is located on the second floor (Walk-up).

During your stay, you’ll be lavished with all the amenities befittign a perfect Santa Barbara getaway: complimentary champagne upon arrival, bath essentials, high-end linens, and a Nespresso machine complete with pods, creams and sugar.

The studio has been recently renovated, offering a full bed, 50” smart TV, working desk, and a fully equipped kitchen meticulously equipped with new, modern appliances. The bathroom has been beautifully completed with custom white tiles as well as a modern walk-in shower with a waterfall head.

Please note there this no reserved parking for this unit. However, street parking is generally accessible and easy to find outside of the building. Street parking is available without restriction M-F, whereas weekends have parking limitations which are indicated on street signs.

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.

Have stayed at this property before & was quite pleased with that first visit. This time, when I arrived, the studio reeked of fried food - even after leaving the windows open. I bought a plug-in air freshener, which eventually removed the smell. I left it in place -- my gift. Perhaps the cleaning crew needs better instructions? Otherwise all was fine.

Nice place

This place was perfect for what I needed. And was a great location - I was in town to do the triathlon. Very close to state street too which was great. The place was clean and bed was comfortable. Temp was good with the window open at night and the fan on.

Beautiful garden-like atmosphere..

I loved the apartment, the building, and the neighborhood. A few minutes walk to Cabrillo St and all the restaurants, shops, and the beach near Stern’s Warf. I enjoyed one bright warm sunny day. But even the cool and cloudy days seemed like dream.

Forecasters Baseball Stay

We had a wonderful stay in this studio apartment. It’s well appointed, bright and all the conveniences one needs. Bed is very comfortable. Location is fantastic for enjoying the harbor and downtown areas and Pershing park for catching Forestters baseball which is why we came. Access to the 101 is great also. I would definitely stay here again!

Just about perfect

The unit was bright, clean and well-appointed. The property felt completely safe. I prepared a full meal for my dad in the kitchen and was only lacking a rimmed baking sheet! A hairdryer would have been nice, but I imagine that’s an item that “walks away”. My only complaint is I’m a tidy person, and the cleaning fee seems high for 400 square feet.

About the host

Hosted by Melanie Cava

Host profile image
We own multiple properties in Santa Barbara. All the studio, one bedroom and 2 bedroom units you see here are located on 201 Bath Street. My husband and I own and manage each of our properties. We have pride of ownership and when you call with questions regarding the properties or any concerns you speak directly to us. We own and manage the entire complex and all the units inside it. This pride of ownership shows and as a result our guests return over and over again providing us with a loyal customer base. Many of our guests have been coming for years and for long-term stays.

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.
