About this property
Rare West Beach Studio #4 — blocks to the Beach, Downtown State St & Funk Zone
The Rare Beach Studio is a rare find, where modern design meets top-tier finishes in every detail. Just a stone's throw from the ocean, Stearns Wharf, the vibrant Funk Zone, and acclaimed dining and shops, our quintessential location adds to the allure.
Please note that is exclusively available for 1 guest and is located on the second floor (Walk-up).
During your stay, you’ll be lavished with all the amenities befittign a perfect Santa Barbara getaway: complimentary champagne upon arrival, bath essentials, high-end linens, and a Nespresso machine complete with pods, creams and sugar.
The studio has been recently renovated, offering a full bed, 50” smart TV, working desk, and a fully equipped kitchen meticulously equipped with new, modern appliances. The bathroom has been beautifully completed with custom white tiles as well as a modern walk-in shower with a waterfall head.
Please note there this no reserved parking for this unit. However, street parking is generally accessible and easy to find outside of the building. Street parking is available without restriction M-F, whereas weekends have parking limitations which are indicated on street signs.
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.

About the host
Hosted by Melanie Cava
We own multiple properties in Santa Barbara. All the studio, one bedroom and 2 bedroom units you see here are located on 201 Bath Street. My husband and I own and manage each of our properties. We have pride of ownership and when you call with questions regarding the properties or any concerns you speak directly to us. We own and manage the entire complex and all the units inside it. This pride of ownership shows and as a result our guests return over and over again providing us with a loyal customer base. Many of our guests have been coming for years and for long-term stays.
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.
