About this property
Ideal West Beach Location! Walk/Bike Everywhere! Rooftop Garden!
Renovated in 2010 and newly furnished, this unique sun-lit unit is part of a historic triplex in the desirable West Beach area. Your doorway is just 1-1/2-blocks from the sands and volleyball courts on West Beach near Stearn’s Wharf. The Funk Zone area only a block away and easy walking distance to downtown State St. shops and restaurants. Very close to the Amtrak station; no need for a car at all, especially if arriving by train! This is the IDEAL location for your Santa Barbara stay!
The only vacation rental we know of with its own rooftop garden, available for lounging, happy hours, special meals and fresh produce. Some guests say it is the highlight of their stay in Santa Barbara!
A single-level floor-plan, the entry Living Room is wonderfully lighted by a central skylite. It has a top-quality queen pull-out sofabed by American Upholstery for additional guests, and a 42' flat-screen HD-TV with HD-DirecTV and DVR-player. Also, a unique 400-movie LaserDisc collection with player and DVD-player.
A high-top dining table with two stools is served from a kitchen that has a full fridge, stove/oven, dishwasher, microwave, granite counters, and is outfitted with Cuisinart coffee-maker, toaster, & blender; includes basic cookware/dishware.
A more shaded bedroom has a super comfy plush-top queen-size bed with down duvet & pillows, a top-quality large dresser, and shower in a white-tiled bathroom. Resurrected original fir flooring runs throughout. A rear door opens to a creekside patio with century-old wall, and water birdlife.
The tile-floor bathroom has a shower only.
WiFi internet coverage is free. An extensive LaserDisc library is on site and a LD-player has been made available to guests by the owner.
Laundry facilities are on-site no-charge. Non-smokers only please.
Street parking in front readily available.
No pets.
**NOTE: UNIT 2 is our smallest apartment, most suitable for two guests. A second 2-level 1-BR unit in our triplex has been serving as a vacation rental since 2008. See vrbo #255189. A larger 1-BR unit, #512066, is spacious and our former home in the front of the triplex.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Janis Kelly
We are residents of Santa Barbara, having moved from the Sacramento area and Canada to here in 2008. We formerly occupied the front main unit of this beautiful tri-plex by the beach and oversee the property ourselves.
Our rooftop is a beautiful, demonstration aeroponic, soil-less vertical farm which is available to our guests for lounging, dining and just enjoying!
Health-conscious and fitness-oriented, our family enjoys beach volleyball, bicycling and running right here in West Beach with its nearby amenities. We also are pioneering a soil-less, vertical aeroponic Tower Garden farm on our rooftop.
We love sharing our love of this ideal neighborhood with our guests.

Why they chose this property
West Beach is THE place to stay in Santa Barbara for both beach and downtown access. Very few properties become available here, and certainly none with the amenities we offer for the reasonable price we offer!
What makes this property unique
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.
Lastly, getting individual attention from the property owners/managers, Janis & Joy will make your stay memorable.
