About this property

Affordable Beach Penthouse #6 — blocks to the Beach, downtown & the Funk Zone

Experience serenity at the Affordable Beach Penthouse — a dreamy oasis situated in the heart of Santa Barbara. Soak up Santa Barbara's enchanting weather on a private, spacious terrace while enjoying cool comfort with air conditioning. 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.

Our Affordable Beach Penthouse features a harmonious blend of seaside romanticism and coastal charm. The kitchen has been elegantly completed with European appliances and luxurious design: a stainless steal oven, microwave, dishwasher and beautiful, Calcutta stone countertops.

The sun-soaked living room offers a 42” HD TV and flows effortlessly into the adjoining dining room and kitchen. Spacious windows invite bright skyline and mountain views into the space. Experience the allure of Mediterranean-like weather from your own terrace & patio, complete with lounge seating and BBQ to dine alfresco. There's no better way to savor Santa Barbara’s dreamy sunsets than with a toast to the horizon.

Delight in the romantic bedroom, complete with an orthopedic king bed and French glass doors that open to the private terrace. The ensuite bathroom features a shower/tub combination.

During your stay, you’ll be lavished with all the amenities expected as part of a perfect getaway: air-conditioning, 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.

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

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.

Perfect Cozy Home 2 blocks From the Beach

If you’re ok with the stairs (we were) this is a lovely, fully appointed home away from home in a super walkable location. Full kitchen, including dishwasher, very private patio space and a lovely mountain view of the SB Riviera. This cozy penthouse apt was very quiet and the bed comfortable (really lovely linens). Parking was a big plus. Communications with both the manager and the on-site manager were quick and responsive. Would stay here again!

Summer Getaway

This place is incredible. We vacation every summer on the Callifornia coast and this is the best. Location is great, two blocks to beach, restaurants, wharf etc. Great furnishings that are comfortable and higher quality. So much better than the more crowded beaches in southern California. We will return soon.

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.
