Luxury Beach Studio — blocks to the Beach, Downtown State Street & the Funk Zone

The Luxury Beach Studio offers shares a serene hideaway, boasting modern elegance and high-end finishes throughout. Situated in the coveted and beautiful West Beach Area, where the streets meet the ocean, location only adds to its appeal.

Please note that this studio is available exclusively for 1 guest and is on the 2nd 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 Luxury Beach Studio has been recently remodeled and offers a full bed, charming high-top dining table, L shaped couch (not updated in the listing photos) and a brand new bathroom, offering a walk in shower and accent tiles drawing inspiration from Andalusia, Spain. 

The full kitchen is meticuously completed with high-end finishes and new European appliances: a stainless steal oven, microwave, dishwasher and Calcutta stone countertops. Indulge in the magic of Mediterranean-like weather on the private deck, offering a gas grill, chaise lounge, and bistro set to dine alfresco and delight in local produce. A coin-operated washer and dryer is provided in the downstairs basement in the building complex .

Please note there this no reserved parking for this unit. However, street parking is generally accessible and easy to find outside of the building. Street parking is available without restriction M-F, whereas weekends have parking limitations which are indicated on street signs.

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.

Amazing place
This was such a great find! The place was beautiful with everything you could need! The location couldn't be beat... walked from the train station, down to the beach every morning, and up to shopping in the afternoon. Loved my time!

Amazing place!
Loved this very beautiful property. Was immaculate and had every single thing you would need. Very ideal location. Easy to get to beach as well as downtown. Biggest downside is that it is for only one person. Really enjoyed the space

Perfectly Met My Needs
This property was beautiful. Updated, clean, modern and fresh. The area was safe and the building was secure. The location was perfect as it is walking distance from the beach and oceanfront restaurants as well as the State Street shopping and restaurant district. I wish that a couple were allowed to stay rather than just one person for the future. While it is small, it would be fine for two people who like each other :-)

Cute Studio Close to the Beach
This place was super cute, modern, and clean in a great location. It had everything I needed to stay comfortably. The only feedback I’d offer is that the complex this apartment is in is very confusing, with multiple entrance gates and no signage. It would help to send a map along with the entry instructions. Other than that, it was a great place for one person to stay!

Beautiful little studio for one person
I can for a week to work remotely. I should have looked carefully at the photos before I booked because there is no table nor any chairs. There is a kitchen island with one bar stool as the only seating (other than a sofa). It was miserable on my back to work from a bar stool for a week. This is not a flaw with the apartment, just warning you if you’re planning to work remotely. I had to use the bar stool as my coffee table, since there isn’t one, yet there is a fairly large faux plant where a small coffee table should be. The kitchen is nice, but missing basics. It’s good for simple meals or reheating, but not for cooking a frozen pizza (no cookie sheet) or for anything that requires a measurement (no measuring cups). The bathroom is very clean, but astonishingly tiny—only one person at a time would fit. Overall, it’s a very beautiful, new and modern space that’s close to downtown and very quiet. It would be cramped for more than one person for more than a night or two, and probably best for shorter stays rather than a week or more. The deck and large windows are lovely!

I stay here regularly for work travel
Super clean and reliable. I like staying here for running on the beach in the early mornings and the wifi is consistent for work needs at night and in the morning. Super quiet street and I rarely hear other people in other suites.
