Historic West Beach Apartment — 2 blocks to the Beach

Welcome to your home away from home in the heart of Santa Barbara’s historic West Beach neighborhood. Just steps from the ocean, Stearns Wharf, the Funk Zone, and lovely dining options, tasting rooms and boutiques, the West Beach Apartment #10 offers the perfect blend of convenience and coastal charm.



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.



The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with high-end finishes and essential amenities. It features a spacious dining island—perfect for casual meals or morning coffee—and is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, including a oven and stove, dishwasher, refrigerator, and microwave. The living area is further complemented by elegant limestone flooring and custom-cut area rugs that add warmth and sophistication to the space.



In the living room, unwind with a 45” Smart TV ideal for streaming your favorite shows, or take advantage of the dedicated workspace with a desk, ideal for remote work. A remote-controlled ceiling fan ensures optimal comfort year-round. The king bedroom offers a cozy retreat, with high-end linens and bedding. Every detail has been considered to create a space that feels both warm and welcoming.

The space is enhanced by beautiful limestone floors and custom-cut area rugs. The living room offers a 45” Smart TV, a working desk, and a remote-controlled ceiling fan, while the king bedroom provides an additional remote-controlled ceiling fan for extra comfort.



Please note that this apartment is located on the second floor (Walk-up).



With easy access to the beach and Santa Barbara’s most popular attractions, the Historic West Beach Apartment #10 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.



Please note that the parking spot is housed in a small carriage house and suitable for 1 compact vehicle. The dimensions of the carriage house where you would park your car are 16 and 1/2 feet in length and 8 feet and 8 inches in width. Street parking is also accessible. Alternatively, we have other units which offer a standard parking space.



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.

The perfect stay!

Amazing apartment exactly as pictured and in the perfect location within walking distance to the beach or downtown Santa Barbara. The apartment is immaculate all around. We very much enjoyed the luxurious bedding, very nice! My husband was a bit concerned about not having air conditioning, however it was never an issue as there are two ceiling fans, one in the living room, and one in the bedroom and all of the windows open so it was very comfortable at all times. One other thing that was mentioned as a concern is the parking, you definitely need to have a small car (we had a Nissan Altima) and had no issue parking in the dedicated garage. Overall, this is an exceptional property that I would definitely come back and stay again!

Wedding weekend

We were in town for a friends wedding at The Hilton Beach Front, so this apartment was in the perfect location. It’s description is spot on. The apartment is well appointed although we did not cook in we could have very easily. Nice to enjoy the non chain restaurants in Santa Barbara. I would have preferred to park outside, but this unit has a garage of sorts, compact cars only. The king bed was comfortable.

Fabulous location, had everything we needed

This is a great location! Everything was clean and neat and had just enough of the supplies we needed. Bed was comfortable and cozy and shower was nice, hot water, strong water pressure. I would suggest adding one more ice tray :) Also worth noting is the second story location, with no elevator that we saw and the very small garage parking, with very limited street parking available. We were able to carry our luggage up and down the stairs and our 4 door Camry rental just fit with enough room to squeeze out the door to get in and out, so these were not dealbreakers for us, but could be for some.
