About this property

Rare Beach Penthouse — blocks to the Beach and Funk Zone

The beautiful Rare Beach Penthouse is elevated by picturesque mountain and sky line views. Indulge in the magic of Mediterranean-like weather on your own private patio, featuring dining space, a stainless steel BBQ and chaise lounge seating. Situated in the beautiful West Beach Area, where the streets meet the ocean, location only adds to its allure. 

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, a private washer & dryer, air-conditioning, a Nespresso machine with pods, creams and sugar as well as reserved parking which is rare in such close proximity to the beach. Please note that this getaway is on the third floor (Walk-up).

Spacious windows invite picturesque skyline and mountain views into the living space, which offers a queen-size pull out couch and a 42” HD TV. There's no better way of taking in evening views than toasting the sun as it sinks below the horizon on your own spacious terrace. This private outdoor space features a dining area, chaise lounge seating and stainless steel BBQ to dine alfresco and revel in local produce.

The fully equipped kitchen is luxuriously completed with granite countertops, limestone floors, custom Santa Barbara style cabinets and high-end, modern appliances: Sub-Zero refrigerator, Nespresso Machine, stove, oven, dishwasher, microwave, and a washer & dryer.

The queen bedroom is complemented with an accompanying full bathroom, which offers a romantic limestone shower with a dual shower-head, custom cabinets and granite countertops.

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.

Enjoyable Stay
We had a relaxing 3 night stay at this penthouse. Everything was just as described. The location can't be beat. Everything we needed was in walkable distance. It's a big plus to have a dedicated off street parking space. Most of our time was spent enjoying the penthouse and the private deck. We stayed in the penthouse across the hall last year which was also wonderful. We will be back.

Great in almost every way
Great location, wonderful space. Only negative was the noise from the refrigerator, runs almost non-stop and we’re sensitive to noise, especially at night. Excellent communication with property manager!

Perfect Location for everything Santa Barbara!
This penthouse was perfect in every way. It had all the amenities for eating in either cooking or grilling. The outside terrace was awesome and perfect for eating dinner with a cool ocean breeze. It was in a quiet neighborhood and best of all was a 3 block walk to the beach and pier and same to get to State street. We parked and never use our car and never ran out of things to do. A perfect relaxing stay.

Perfect location
The location is perfectly situated with the beach, State Street and the Funk Zone just a few blocks away. At the same time, it is just far enough to be really quiet at night. The Penthouse has everything needed for a comfortably 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.
