About this property

Affordable Beach Penthouse — blocks to Beach, downtown Santa Barbara & Funk Zone

The Affordable Beach Penthouse is an enchanting hideaway for those who cherish serenity in a most sought-after location. Situated in the beautiful West Beach Area, mere blocks from the ocean, Stearns Wharf, the vibrant Funk Zone and world renowned dining and downtown shops, location only adds to its allure.

Please note that this Getaway is on the third floor (Walk-up).

During your stay, you’ll be lavished with all the amenities expected as part of a beautiful getaway: air-conditioning, complimentary champagne upon arrival, bath essentials, high-end linens, and a Nespresso machine with pods, creams and sugar as well as reserved parking which is rare in such close proximity to the beach.

Our Affordable Beach Penthouse shares an ambiance of seaside romanticism and coastal charm. The kitchen has been meticulously completed with European appliances and luxurious design: a stainless steal oven, microwave, dishwasher and luxurious, Calcutta stone countertops. 

The living room features a 42” HD TV and adjoins the dining room and kitchen. Spacious windows invite picturesque skyline and mountain views into the space. Indulge in the magic of Mediterranean-like weather on the private terrace, complete with lounge seating and an electric BBQ to dine alfresco and delight in local produce.

The romantic bedroom offers an orthopedic king bed with two French glass doors, leading to the private terrace. The accompanying bathroom offers a shower/tub combo.

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.

Excellent place to stay!
Great location near the ocean and State St. Comfortable, super clean accommodation. Comfy bed. Everything seems good quality. Parking is a plus. You don't meet the owners but check in is easy plus they were very prompt to react to a heating problem in chilly February weather. Not cheap but good value. We'd definitely return if in the area. Highly recommended.

Nice place to stay!
We stayed here a week and were able to enjoy staying in, walking to the beach, and was a close walk to liquor and grocery store. They had a bottle of champagne for us when we arrived which we greatly appreciated!

About the host

Hosted by Melanie Cava

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.
