About this property
"Prime West Beach location" 10% DISCOUNT. New Owner. Simple and affordablle.
Welcome to your perfect West Beach getaway — now under brand new ownership as of 2026! This charming two level 1BR home is located in one of the most desirable, walkable neighborhoods in Santa Barbara. Just 1.5 blocks from West Beach and minutes from Stearns Wharf, State Street, and the Funk Zone, the location simply can’t be beat.
We’re excited to share that we are the new owners of this historic property and are already planning improvements to elevate comfort, style, and guest experience throughout 2026. From upgraded furnishings and refreshed interiors to enhanced outdoor spaces, this West Beach classic is entering a new chapter — and we can’t wait to welcome you.
We are proud to announce that this charming two level West Beach retreat has just been purchased by new owners who are committed to elevating the entire guest experience. To celebrate this transition, we are currently offering a 10% discount off the listed price — meaning guests booking now will pay below the rate that previous guests and reviewers paid.
As we roll out improvements to furnishings, comfort, and overall design throughout 2026, please note that all existing reviews reflect the experience under the previous owners.
What remains unchanged is the unbeatable West Beach location: just 1.5 blocks from the sand, steps from Stearns Wharf, and walking distance to State Street, the Funk Zone, and Santa Barbara’s best dining and tasting rooms.
What You’ll Love About the Space
• Unbeatable location: one of the closest legal vacation rentals to West Beach
• Two level layout: unique and private, with bright spaces and creekside views
• Outdoor living: French doors leading to a private deck overlooking Mission Creek
• Historic charm: part of an early 1900s triplex with character throughout
• Walkability: steps from restaurants, wineries, shops, and the waterfront path

About the host
Hosted by Jeff Crosby
I attended Westmont College and two of our kids attended as well. We love the community and beauty of Santa Barbara and we especially love the life time memories that West Beach has given to our family.
Why they chose this property
West Beach is THE place to stay in SB for both beach and downtown access. Very few properties become available here. And with the City onslaught on Short-Term Rentals, ours is one of FEW authorized, legitimately permitted Vacation Rental units in SB !! We also have a 3 bedroom, 3 bath right around the corner (with parking. If available and needed).
What makes this property unique
A rooftop is available for early morning and evening access.
The historic building and charming unit are unique in Santa Barbara . The privacy offered by the backyard patio by Mission Creek is special. The access to everything Santa Barbara has to offer is amazing and our rooftop farm is supremely unique and special.
