About this property

West Beach Apartment — blocks to the Beach, Downtown State Street & Funk Zone

Welcome to our Historic West Beach Apartment, tailor-made for those who desire a beautiful location, combined with unparalleled quality and price. Located in the picturesque West Beach Area, where the streets meet the ocean, you'll be steps from the beach, and mere blocks from Stearns Wharf, the vibrant Funk Zone as well as world renowned dining and downtown shops.

Please note that this space is located on the second floor (Walk-up).

During your stay, you’ll be lavished with all the amenities expected as part of a beautiful getaway: bath essentials, high-end linens, a Nespresso machine complete with pods, creams and sugar, as well as reserved parking, which is rare in such close proximity to the beach. Please note that the parking spot is housed in a small carriage house and suitable for 1 compact vehicle.

The fully equipped kitchen features high-end touches, a charming dining island and all new modern appliances: stainless steel oven, stove, dishwasher, refrigerator, and microwave. The floors have been beautifully completed with Jerusalem Limestone and custom cut area rugs throughout the living room and king bedroom.

The living room offers a 45” Smart TV along with a working desk and remote controlled ceiling fan for your convenience. The king bedroom provides an an additional, remote controlled ceiling fan.

The dimensions of the carriage house where you would park your car are 16 and 1/2 feet in length and 8 feet and 8 inches in width. Street parking is also accessible. Alternatively, we have other units which offer a standard parking space.

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.

The perfect stay!
Amazing apartment exactly as pictured and in the perfect location within walking distance to the beach or downtown Santa Barbara. The apartment is immaculate all around. We very much enjoyed the luxurious bedding, very nice! My husband was a bit concerned about not having air conditioning, however it was never an issue as there are two ceiling fans, one in the living room, and one in the bedroom and all of the windows open so it was very comfortable at all times. One other thing that was mentioned as a concern is the parking, you definitely need to have a small car (we had a Nissan Altima) and had no issue parking in the dedicated garage. Overall, this is an exceptional property that I would definitely come back and stay again!

Wedding weekend
We were in town for a friends wedding at The Hilton Beach Front, so this apartment was in the perfect location. It’s description is spot on. The apartment is well appointed although we did not cook in we could have very easily. Nice to enjoy the non chain restaurants in Santa Barbara. I would have preferred to park outside, but this unit has a garage of sorts, compact cars only. The king bed was comfortable.

Fabulous location, had everything we needed
This is a great location! Everything was clean and neat and had just enough of the supplies we needed. Bed was comfortable and cozy and shower was nice, hot water, strong water pressure. I would suggest adding one more ice tray :) Also worth noting is the second story location, with no elevator that we saw and the very small garage parking, with very limited street parking available. We were able to carry our luggage up and down the stairs and our 4 door Camry rental just fit with enough room to squeeze out the door to get in and out, so these were not dealbreakers for us, but could be for some.
