About this property

Affordable Executive Getaway #11 — blocks to the Beach, Downtown & the Funk Zone

Welcome to our Affordable Executive Getaway #11, where serenity, comfort, and value come together in Santa Barbara’s most coveted location. Located in the beautiful West Beach area, you’ll be just moments from the ocean, Stearns Wharf, the harbor, and downtown’s lovely dining and boutique scene. Spend your days basking in the sun, discovering local art galleries and wineries, and exploring the vibrant Funk Zone.

Thoughtful touches are included to make the most of your getaway: complimentary champagne to toast your arrival, bath essentials, high-end linens, a Nespresso machine stocked with pods, creams, and sugar, and reserved parking, a rare perk near the beach.

The inviting living space features a cozy sofa and a 42” HD TV, perfect for unwinding after a day in the sun. The fully equipped kitchen blends both functionality and style, with sleek limestone floors and modern stainless steel appliances, including a stove, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, and microwave.

The serene king bedroom offers a peaceful retreat, with French glass doors that open to a small private terrace, providing charming foothill views. The adjoining bathroom is elegantly appointed with limestone accents, custom cabinetry, and a shower-tub combo for ultimate relaxation.

This apartment is located on the second floor (walk-up). Please note that the designated parking spot is in a small carriage house, suitable for one compact vehicle. The dimensions of the carriage house are 16.5 feet in length and 8 feet 8 inches in width. For additional convenience, street parking is available nearby. Alternatively, we offer other units with standard parking spaces.

With effortless access to the beach and Santa Barbara’s most beloved attractions, the Affordable Executive Getaway #11 offers the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. Spend your days soaking up the sun, savoring local cuisine and happy hour cocktails in the Funk Zone, shopping downtown, or enjoying quiet moments with loved ones — all while surrounded by the natural beauty of the California coast. Tucked away on a residential street, our building offers a serene oasis just moments from the vibrant heart of Santa Barbara. Just blocks away, the Funk Zone brings an irresistible charm — a lively coastal enclave where streets meet the sea, brimming with art galleries, boutiques, wine tasting rooms, and eclectic eateries. Convenient bike rentals and the nearby Amtrak station make exploring even easier, whether you're strolling down State Street’s boutique-lined promenade or setting off on an unforgettable day trip to the Channel Islands or Santa Ynez wine country. Whether seeking tranquility or excitement, this perfect location ensures a memorable getaway you'll want to relive again and again.

Perfect place for a trip to Santa Barbara!

My wife and I were very happy with our stay at this property. The rooms were very clean and had everything that we could have asked for. The bed and linens were very comfortable and the location could not be beat! Thank you!

We had a great time during our stay. The listing was accurate, clean, and check in was seamless. We had a late flight and host was nice enough to offer complimentary late check out which allowed us to spend more time exploring!

Good Choice for a Short Stay

Another tidy little unit in the big yellow house! Layout is a bit quirky with entry into the kitchen, a tight bathroom, and outdoor patio access from the bedroom. Eclectic furnishings and worn carpet give the impression of a college apartment, but the space is actually quite clean. The bed and sofa are very comfortable. We would have liked plumper head pillows and another six coffee cups in the cabinet to cut down on dishwashing. That said, the unit is a good choice for a short stay and we intend to return.

Our stay in Santa Barbara was nice. The condo was exactly what we had hoped for and gave us plenty of space to relax after being on the road for a couple of weeks. It was within walking distance to State Street and the beach.

5 Year Anniversary Getaway

We wanted to take this time to say THANK YOU! We appreciated you to allow us to stay at your hidden gem nearly 3 blocks away from the ocean. Great location to all; walking distance to food, seafood restaurants, wineries and best of all breweries. Your home was so cozy, welcoming and very clean. The only thing we would say is upgrade the TV since we were unable to stream from our phones(very difficult). We definitely want to come back soon and will keep you on our minds when we think of going to Santa Barbara. We took a little long to write this but was reminded from the bottle of champagne you gave us, which we are drinking now. You exceeded our expectation as we celebrated our 5 year anniversary. Again well done. Stay safe from Hilary and hope all is well. Best, Rick and Rosemary

The apartment was very well appointed. We had a floor fan which was broken upon our arrival and it was quickly replaced by the on-site manager. The bed was comfortable. The apartment is too small to entertain even another couple.

Good location for the price

Pros: - It was good location within walking distance to the beach and main strip. - Much cheaper than hotels in the area and more value for the money. - Nice coffee machine. - Enjoyed eating on the outside patio. Cons: - Carpet needs to replaced with hardwood or tile. Seems old, dingy, and had a musky smell. - The cart in bathroom between the sink and shower made that area cramped. I would suggest installing a medicine cabinet for guest to store toiletries. - Cable TV remote worked only half the time when watching streaming services such as Netflix and Prime. Should have the remote from the actual TV available. - May want to fix the light in the bedroom, it's not properly aligned and looks like it's going to fall off.

Luckily, we have a very small car or parking would have been a problem. Listing stated there was a private washer & dryer with soap, this was not true. Although the manager promptly assisted us to the housekeeping laundry, listing needs to be corrected. Location was great, near beach & many restaurants.

Super cute building, we just returned from Italy and it sure resembles a lot of the VRBO’s we stayed in there. The location was close to the beach and town. We parked our car and didn’t use it until we left! The apartment is super cute and clean with a nice little patio. We loved falling asleep to the fountain outside. Highly recommend it!

Great Stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our Santa Barbara stay. Downtown Santa Barbara was just great with lots of very nice restaurants, bars and cultural attractions. The place was very comfortable, well equipped and very clean. Neighborhood was very nice and safe and well located near downtown and readily accessible to other parts of the Santa Barbara area. Off street park very close to the unit was quite easy. We hope we have the opportunity to rent this unit again in this beautiful area.

Good stay at a fair price

Location is great. Access/parking to the building was easy enough. The information provided for checkin & WiFi was inaccurate but the manager was communicative and timely. There are a few odd things about the place that were fine for us but could have been better: 1. It's difficult to eat here. There's a table, one chair and a stool, both of which sit at the same height as the table. 2. The appliances are loud. Woke us up several nights throughout our stay. 3. The bathtub does not plug if you'd like to take a bath. 4. Pillows are flat/flimsy but the bed is comfortable. Things that were great: 1. Cleanliness 2. Variety of dinnerware and cooking utensils. You could make dinner here if you'd like. 3. The Nespresso with the foamer is a great addition.

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.
