Summary:
Surf Station E is a fully renovated 1-bedroom tucked into a tropical courtyard in West Beach, Santa Barbara — steps from the sand and a short walk to Stearns Wharf and the Funk Zone’s tasting rooms.

Shared tropical courtyard with BBQ. Self check-in. Pets welcome.
The Space:
The building:
Surf Station is a small collection of private apartments in Santa Barbara’s West Beach neighborhood, managed by Maza Hospitality. Unit E is entirely your own — you won’t share a hallway, kitchen, or bath.
Sleeping:
Bedroom: king bed
Living room: queen sofa bed (pull-out)
Sleeps up to 4 — the pull-out is great for kids. All beds made up with hotel-grade linens; the bedroom mattress is brand new.
The space:
A fully renovated 1-bedroom tucked into a tropical courtyard, steps from the beach. Full living room, fast WiFi throughout, and a bathroom stocked with Public Goods products.
Kitchen:
Full kitchen, stocked for real cooking — cookware, bakeware, knives, utensils, plates, glassware, coffee and wine glasses. Nespresso machine with a starter set of pods, plus a kettle. Dishwasher, full-size fridge, oven, and stovetop. Salt, pepper, oil, and basic pantry staples on hand.
Shared courtyard:
Gas BBQ, picnic table, fountain, and overhead string lights, shared with the other Surf Station apartments.
Parking:
One free private parking spot is included — a convenience guests consistently call out, since street parking in West Beach is genuinely difficult.
Getting around:
Funk Zone tasting rooms and restaurants: ~5 min walk
West Beach and Stearns Wharf: ~10 min walk
Downtown / State Street: ~10 min walk
Amtrak Santa Barbara station: directly across the street. Once you’ve parked, you can leave the car for the weekend.

Self check-in by smart lock, after 4:00 PM. Checkout by 11:00 AM. We send door codes and directions on the day of arrival.
Pre-check-in:
After booking, we ask you to complete a quick pre check-in: a photo ID upload and a $1 security deposit hold. It takes about two minutes.
Good to know:
This is a lively, downtown-adjacent neighborhood. You’ll hear some city sound, including the occasional train — if you’re a light sleeper, bring earplugs. Please note: the units come with fans but do not have air conditioning. There are exterior security cameras on the property. None are inside the unit. Pets are welcome — there is a $75 pet fee for the stay. Maximum 4 guests. No parties or events.
