About this property

Best Santa Barbara Location - 1 Block From the Beach, 2 Blocks From State St.

Quintessential 1930's Santa Barbara Spanish Style Duplex one block from popular beach and two blocks from the heart of Santa Barbara. Walk or bike to everything. Charm is an understatement in this beachy abode, within walking distance to all the attractions -amazing restaurants, the famous pier, world-renowned shopping, The Santa Barbara Mission.

Equip with everything one could ask for. Keep warm with the cozy fireplace during winter. Relax in the ultra comfortable tempurpedic bed, engulfed in down pillows and comforter in the Moroccan designed master bedroom. Enjoy family dining with an oversized table and formal/separate dining room.

A pull out couch bed allows guests or extended family their own bed, full cable including HBO and Showtime and WIFI available. There is a television in each room for full relaxation.

Live like a local in this beach accented, Spanish Santa Barbara home!

We had an amazing stay at Ian’s property! It was perfect for us being 2 blocks from the beach and less than a 10min walk to downtown. Our 2.5 year old was with us and fit in the pack n play & we found it very suitable for our family. We’d definitely rent from Ian again when we come back!

As advertised, good location walkable to downtown, pier, marina, etc. Everything was clean and in working order. This is an older building so expect quaint and charming as the description states. That being it was really a comfortable layout with most room spacious. The single bathroom is quite small but expected for a 30s house. the kitchen lacks a dishwasher or disposal, also expected. But the living room was really comfortable, separate dining area useful, washer dyer in the unit was nice. Dog friendly worked perfectly. For us we were just DINKWADs but this would be great for a family. Especially considering the location

Wonderful home! Has all the old Santa Barbara charm you could ask for. Simple and easy directions and instruction. The best part of this home is the location. You can literally walk to all the shops and the beach and pier. The beds were super cozy too for a great nights sleep. Would love to spend a week here.

This was an amazing place to stay. I can not say enough about. it, honestly. I have been to Santa Barbara many times and this might have been the best place we stayed yet. It was charming, comfortable and had great amenities. We were there for a girl's weekend and we had plenty of room to relax, play games and sleep comfortably. We could walk to restaurants, shops and the beach easily. The host was easy to communicate with, accommodating and generally went above and beyond to make our stay memorable.

Birthday Getaway

The house was clean and had everything we needed. We only used the house for sleeping and showering. We did not use the kitchen, although it did seem to have everything one might need to make meals there. The location is awesome, we were able to walk to all our favorite places in the Funk Zone.
