Affordable Beach Getaway #9 — blocks to the Beach, Downtown State St & 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 on the private deck before exploring beautiful boutiques, art galleries, eateries, and tasting rooms in the nearby Funk Zone. Just blocks from the ocean, Stearns Wharf, and downtown State Street, everything you’ll need is right at your fingertips.

Our Affordable Beach Getaway #9 features a serene king bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen, and a bright, spacious living room complete with a Waterford fireplace, plush cozy couch, and 42” HD TV. Enjoy your morning coffee or bask in the sun on the patio. This private outdoor space includes a dining area, chaise lounge seating, and a grill — the perfect setting for alfresco meals. As the sun dips below the horizon, toast to another perfect day with a glass of our complimentary champagne.

The romantic bedroom boasts a king bed and an en-suite bathroom adorned with limestone finishes, custom Santa Barbara cabinetry, and a shower/tub combo. The kitchen is thoughtfully stocked with all essential culinary tools and amenities for your convenience.

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.

Please note: Affordable Beach Getaway #9 is located on the second floor (walk-up).

With effortless 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.

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.

Fabulous location and apartment

We have stayed in this apartment before and we were very happy to return for a 10 night stay. Excellent location and the apartment is very comfortable. I like to read a book on the sun lounges and although the weather was a bit chilly it was warm in the sun. Easy flat walk to the shopping area in State street and very close and quick walk to the beach. The bedroom has block out curtains and the bed is extremely comfortable. Highly reccommend

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!

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.

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!

Wonderful time in Santa Barbara. Condo unit was as advertised. Very clean, very comfortable, perfect for a couple.

Jan 1-12 stay

Overall we really liked our stay. The furniture and fixtures were clean and comfortable and well suited to the property. We have two comments regarding what might improve the property The front hallway closet had a musty smell, which was off putting when we first entered. Also, as we are from the midwest, we were not used to the softened water. Lastly, there were a few ants in both the kitchen and bathroom.

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
