Historic West Beach Studio #3 — Blocks to beach, Downtown State St & Funk Zone

Welcome to our Historic West Beach Studio for those who desire a beautiful location, combined with unparalleled quality and price. Located in the picturesque West Beach Area, where the streets meet the ocean, the Getaway is steps from the beach, and mere blocks from Stearns Wharf, the vibrant Funk Zone as well as world renowned dining and downtown shops.

Please note that is available exclusively for 1 guest and is located on the second floor (Walk-up).

During your stay, you’ll be lavished with all the amenities expected as part of a beautiful getaway: complimentary champagne upon arrival, bath essentials, high-end linens, and a Nespresso machine complete with pods, creams and sugars.

This charming space features a queen bed, 42 HD" TV, full kitchen and a full bathroom. The full kitchen is is accompanied by a stove, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator and microwave. Large windows invite picturesque views of the mountains and skyline into the living space.

Please note there this no reserved parking for this unit. However, street parking is generally accessible and easy to find outside of the building. Street parking is available without restriction M-F, whereas weekends have parking limitations which are indicated on street signs.

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.

Would stay again, but had a small mishap
When I arrived at the studio apartment it appeared the unit was not cleaned as there was trash around the unit and the bed was unmade. I contacted the host who immediately sent cleaners to the unit and I was offered a free upgrade for a few days as well. Overall I appreciated the prompt communication and effort that was made to correct the situation, and I would stay at this property again as the units themselves were nice and the location was great.

Great West Beach Spot
Room was small but the thoughtful layout meant that the space felt much bigger than the square footage would indicate. The studio was well appointed and had everything one would need for even an extended stay. Fantastic location for folks interested in beaches, however be prepared for a bit if a walk to State St and downtown. Only downside it that the gorgeous older building does Not have great sound proofing and transferred sound from other units can be readily heard even at normal speaking voices or activity.

Really quiet, clean and convenient
I travel to Santa Barbara for work regularly and prefer a place with a kitchen over a standard hotel. I've stayed in a few units at the 201 Bath building and they've all been clean, quiet and consistent, which is what I'm looking for. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for an easy walk to the beach and a quiet neighborhood.

What a wonderful place! I cannot say enough good things about this property- it was perfectly located two blocks from the harbor, extremely clean, beautifully updated, functional and well equipped space, very secure and safe building, lovely property, excellent value, well managed, quiet, parking within a block was not an issue even on the weekend… it was perfect. This place well exceeded my expectations and I was sad to leave! I’ll be back.

Perfectly fine
The studio apartment was just fine. I had everything I needed. The walk to the beach and to State Street was easy. There was a small outdoor place to sit, but it was not inviting. I wish I had rented one of the units that had private outdoor seating.

I absolutely loved staying here. The only downside is because it’s an old building the noise travels easily , if you’re not ok with a little noise this isn’t for you. The kitchen is stocked with common items and utensils too!will stay here again !

Gorgeous Studio, Average Long-term Stay
Stayed in this studio as a night shift travel nurse. It had just been renovated to it's beautiful new design, has a great kitchen, and is in an amazing location. The downsides is that it is very loud- you can hear the goings-on of all the other people staying in the building. I got 2 noise complaints on me even though I wasn't even in the studio/taking a nap at the time. You can also hear the train every time is goes through the station. There is no storage for long-term stays such as a dresser or drawers of any kind although there is a nice large closet. And you have to pay for laundry as it's not in the unit itself. Overall, the location and beautifully renovated space made it worth it, but I wish I had known about these things as a long-term stay!

The owner is amazing at responding to any needs you may have in a timely manner. Gave a Personal tour of the property Which was helpful since the laundry and trash are on the opposite side of the building. Everything you will need is stocked for a long term stay ! Bed is very comfortable and fans are available for warmer nights. Stayed here a month and a half. Great experience ! Near the warf and downtown ! Recommend

Nice studio close to the harbor
The studio is spacious and comfortable. There is a full kitchen with huge fridge. A laundry is also available inside the building. The locatio is nice and quiet, just 5 min walk to the harbor and the sea, where you can go sailing, kayaking or stand up paddle and 10 min biking to the city centre.
