Affordable Beach Penthouse — blocks to Beach, downtown Santa Barbara & Funk Zone

The Affordable Beach Penthouse is an enchanting hideaway for those who cherish serenity in a most sought-after location. Situated in the beautiful West Beach Area, mere blocks from the ocean, Stearns Wharf, the vibrant Funk Zone and world renowned dining and downtown shops, location only adds to its allure.

Please note that this Getaway is on the third floor (Walk-up).

During your stay, you’ll be lavished with all the amenities expected as part of a beautiful 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.

Our Affordable Beach Penthouse shares an ambiance of seaside romanticism and coastal charm. The kitchen has been meticulously completed with European appliances and luxurious design: a stainless steal oven, microwave, dishwasher and luxurious, Calcutta stone countertops. 

The living room features a 42” HD TV and adjoins the dining room and kitchen. Spacious windows invite picturesque skyline and mountain views into the space. Indulge in the magic of Mediterranean-like weather on the private terrace, complete with lounge seating and an electric BBQ to dine alfresco and delight in local produce.

The romantic bedroom offers an orthopedic king bed with two French glass doors, leading to the private terrace. The accompanying bathroom offers 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.

Nice place to stay!
We stayed here a week and were able to enjoy staying in, walking to the beach, and was a close walk to liquor and grocery store. They had a bottle of champagne for us when we arrived which we greatly appreciated!

Smoke alarm would go off every time the shower was used, the view from the 2 porches is looking at a roof, the best view is out the front window. The brochures left for reading were out of date (2015). The balcony off the french doors had a screen but it didnt work when trying to pull into place and it was torn. Location was excellent and shower pressure was very nice!!

Santa Barbara Beauty
My partner and I arrived on the Fourth of July, and just as others have stated everything was absolutely perfect. As we entered the lovely wooden front door, I was pleasantly surprised at all of the beautiful views from all the windows, and how tastefully it was decorated, including high-end appliances and a great bottle of wine in fridge! The walk score was perfect, we enjoyed nearby restaurants and the fireworks at the wharf. The shower was one of the best I’ve had in awhile. We also enjoyed the patios, specifically the one off the Master. The designated parking space was a added bonus. We plan to return again.

Perfect Anniversary Getaway
My husband and I usually stay in a hotel when we visit Santa Barbara, and we decided to try a rental this time. This place was perfect! We enjoyed the close proximity to the Funk Zone and the beach, and the apartment was just perfectly appointed and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay!
