Affordable Beach Getaway — blocks to the Beach and Funk Zone

Experience the best of Santa Barbara at our Affordable Beach Getaway #9 — where comfort, style, and coastal charm converge. Soak up Santa Barbara’s dreamy weather, sip your morning coffee, or enjoy a leisurely alfresco BBQ on the private patio. Just steps from the ocean, Stearns Wharf, the Funk Zone, and a variety of charming restaurants, wineries, and boutiques, this location offers the perfect blend of coastal tranquility and walkable convenience.



Our Affordable Beach Getaway #9 is a charming retreat just steps from the sand, offering a serene king bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen, and a bright, spacious living room with a plush sofa, 42” HD TV, and elegant Waterford fireplace. Step outside to the sun-drenched private patio, where chaise lounges, a dining area, and a gas grill invite you to unwind and dine under the stars. To welcome you, a complimentary bottle of champagne awaits—perfect for toasting your stay in Santa Barbara.



The bedroom features a cozy king bed with high-end linens and a private en-suite bathroom with a shower/tub combo. The kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with essential appliances for effortless, home-style cooking. Please note this apartment is on the second floor (walk-up).



To elevate your stay, we’ve included special touches throughout: complimentary champagne to toast your arrival, bath essentials, high-end linens, a Nespresso machine with pods, cream, and sugar, and reserved parking — a rare perk near the beach.



With easy access to the beach and Santa Barbara’s most beloved attractions, the Affordable Beach Getaway #9 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. A couple blocks away, the Funk Zone brings an irresistible charm — a 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.



Our building is fully licensed for short-term rentals and located within the Santa Barbara Coastal Zone, where stays under 30 days are allowed. Many other listings in the city fall outside this zone and are not legally permitted to offer short-term stays—so hosts might decline your booking request to avoid violations. We, on the other hand, automatically confirm your reservation the moment you book. It’s a seamless, stress-free option for a quick coastal getaway, making us the perfect choice for your Santa Barbara stay.

Cute apartment in West Beach

This is a wonderful place for a trip to Santa Barbara. The apartment is very clean and well appointed with amenities making for a very comfortable stay. It’s located in a quiet area of West Beach with easy walking distance to the beach, the funk zone, and shops and restaurants. There is even a few small grocery stores around the corner to grab snacks and staples. But everything in Santa Barbara is just a quick drive away. Such a wonderful city to explore! I would definitely return!

Great Santa Barbara Charm

What a great find! Location was excellent for walking to the harbor, beach, shops and restaurants. Very charming old building with updated and renovated units with character and personality. Bedroom was quiet and dark for great sleeping, on a super comfy bed. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed, new appliances, and even a gas Weber grill on the deck. The furniture was comfortable and they even had fans. We had a great stay and would return!

Perfect location perfect vacation

Everything you need in a cozy apartment space. Very accessible to Restaurants and beach. Good directions and suggestions for activities and access. Apartment was a little dated needed a bit a a refresh but comfortable. Painters were there the entire time and we needed to know this beforehand. They were parked in our spot a couple of times, and they were working in and around the unit. Generally we enjoyed our stay.

Apartment is well located and comfortable. However, we were disappointed that a number of things including the kitchen were old and in need of refurbishment. The worse thing was that the apartment has an ant problem throughout which the owner is clearly aware of as there are ant traps visible.
