Secret Getaway #8 — blocks to the Beach, Downtown State Street & Funk Zone

The secret of the Secret Getaway lies in its prime location, exceptional quality, and affordability. This space is perfect for those who cherish serenity in Santa Barbara's most sought-after locale. Nestled in the West Beach area, you’ll be blocks from the ocean, Stearns Wharf, the vibrant Funk Zone, and acclaimed dining and downtown shops.

During your stay, delight in the luxurious amenities that define our beautiful getaway: complimentary champagne upon arrival, luxury bath essentials, a private washer & dryer, high-end linens, a Nespresso machine stocked with pods, creams, and sugar, and reserved parking—a rare convenience near the beach.

Elegant limestone floors, faux painting, and ten-foot ceilings lend the space a romantic, European charm. The warm and bright kitchen features granite countertops, custom cabinets, and all essential appliances. The living room is highlighted by a cozy couch, a 55" HD TV, and Waterford fireplace to enrich the ambiance.

The sophisticated bedroom shares a king-sized bed and French glass doors that open to your private veranda, complete with a bistro set, potted flowers, and a gas grill—perfect for alfresco dining and basking in the California sun. The adjoining bathroom boasts custom stonework, a built-in Jacuzzi tub, a spacious walk-in shower, and Santa Barbara-style cabinets with granite surfaces.

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.

We could not be happier with the location. So close to the wharf, beaches, State street and great restaurants. The place has everything you can ask for and everything you need. The bathroom reminded us of our bathroom at the Four Seasons in Cairo, Egypt, in miniature.

Wonderful Stay
We loved the Santa Rosa secret getaway! The floorplan is excellent with a large kitchen and bath, comfortable king bed and walking distance to waterfront. The parking place provided was great, and the place was very private and quiet. We would definitely stay here again when we visit Santa Barbara, definitely deserves 5 Stars!
