About this property

Rare West Beach Studio — 2 blocks to the Beach and Funk Zone

The Rare Beach Studio is a rare find, boasting modern elegance and high-end finishes throughout. Situated in the Coveted West Beach area, you'll be steps from the beach, Stearns Wharf, the Vibrant Funk zone as well as world renowned dining and downtown shops. 

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 expected as part of a beautiful getaway: complimentary champagne upon arrival, bath essentials, high-end linens, and a Nespresso machine complete with pods, creams and sugars.

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

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.

Lovely!
The apartment is very pretty, quiet and bright. Very comfortable bed. My only issue was with check-in. Lock box was quite difficult to access. Needs updating.

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.

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.
