About this property

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.

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
