About this property

Luxury Beach Studio #12 — blocks to the Beach, Downtown State St & the Funk Zone

Experience the allure of the Luxury Beach Studio, where contemporary sophistication meets upscale details. Nestled in the picturesque West Beach Area, where the streets meet the ocean, you'll be mere steps from the beach, Stearns Wharf, the vibrant Funk Zone and acclaimed dining and downtown shops.

A gentle reminder that this studio is available exclusively for 1 guest and is on the 2nd floor (Walk-up).

During your stay, you’ll be lavished with all the amenities befitting a perfect Santa Barbara getaway: complimentary champagne upon arrival, bath essentials, high-end linens, and a Nespresso machine complete with pods, creams and sugars.

The Luxury Beach Studio features modern design and high-end finishes throughout.  The space offers a full bed, charming high-top dining table, and a brand new bathroom which has pristine white tile, a walk in shower and accent tiles drawing inspiration from Andalusia, Spain. The kitchen is completed with new European appliances, a stainless steal oven, microwave, dishwasher and luxurious, Calcutta stone countertops.

Indulge in the magic of Mediterranean-like weather on the private deck, offering a gas grill, chaise lounge, and bistro set — perfect for basking in the sun and dining alfresco.

Kindly note that our studios do not have their own reserved parking space, but street parking is quite accessible and easy to find directly outside of the building. A coin-operated washer and dryer is provided in the downstairs basement in the building complex .

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.

This was such a great find! The place was beautiful with everything you could need! The location couldn't be beat... walked from the train station, down to the beach every morning, and up to shopping in the afternoon. Loved my time!

Loved this very beautiful property. Was immaculate and had every single thing you would need. Very ideal location. Easy to get to beach as well as downtown. Biggest downside is that it is for only one person. Really enjoyed the space

Perfectly Met My Needs
This property was beautiful. Updated, clean, modern and fresh. The area was safe and the building was secure. The location was perfect as it is walking distance from the beach and oceanfront restaurants as well as the State Street shopping and restaurant district. I wish that a couple were allowed to stay rather than just one person for the future. While it is small, it would be fine for two people who like each other :-)

Cute Studio Close to the Beach
This place was super cute, modern, and clean in a great location. It had everything I needed to stay comfortably. The only feedback I’d offer is that the complex this apartment is in is very confusing, with multiple entrance gates and no signage. It would help to send a map along with the entry instructions. Other than that, it was a great place for one person to stay!

Beautiful little studio for one person
I can for a week to work remotely. I should have looked carefully at the photos before I booked because there is no table nor any chairs. There is a kitchen island with one bar stool as the only seating (other than a sofa). It was miserable on my back to work from a bar stool for a week. This is not a flaw with the apartment, just warning you if you’re planning to work remotely. I had to use the bar stool as my coffee table, since there isn’t one, yet there is a fairly large faux plant where a small coffee table should be. The kitchen is nice, but missing basics. It’s good for simple meals or reheating, but not for cooking a frozen pizza (no cookie sheet) or for anything that requires a measurement (no measuring cups). The bathroom is very clean, but astonishingly tiny—only one person at a time would fit. Overall, it’s a very beautiful, new and modern space that’s close to downtown and very quiet. It would be cramped for more than one person for more than a night or two, and probably best for shorter stays rather than a week or more. The deck and large windows are lovely!

Super clean and reliable. I like staying here for running on the beach in the early mornings and the wifi is consistent for work needs at night and in the morning. Super quiet street and I rarely hear other people in other suites.

The studio is beautifully appointed and in a great location. Some of the occupants in other units were a bit noisy but that's to be expected (I think they were part of a wedding party). Good news is that everything was quiet overnight. I also easily found parking on the street.

Charming Santa Barbara Apartment
This property was more than I could have imagined! The unit was adorably appointed with friendly touches like a bottle of champagne in the fridge and a well stocked Nepresso machine. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen table doubled as a work station during my stay. The bathroom has a rain shower, which was a luxury. The unit is small, so the balcony was an added bonus with a chaise lounge, a small table and 2 chairs where I enjoyed my morning coffee. Just a few blocks to the beach and great restaurants, I highly recommend this unit! You do have to walk up 2 flights of stairs, so be prepared if you have heavy suitcases. I highly recommend this charming oasis in Santa Barbara!!

Great place and location!
I enjoyed my stay in the property. The location is great. It's a short walk to the beach or a nearby grocery store. State Street shops and restaurants are also only a short walk away. Walking along the boardwalk by the ocean was one of my favorite things to do. Place is very modernized and clean. The patio is amazing and spacious. I enjoyed the seating and grill there. There were a few warm days in which I set up some fans to keep it cool in the afternoons. Only challenge I had was the gas oven and keeping it lit. Not sure if it was me, or a mechanical issue.

About the host

Host profile image
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.
