About this property

Best Location in town! Walk everywhere. Only 2 Blocks to Ocean, Pier & Wineries!

Location, Location, Location!! We have 2 Condos available, this 1 bedroom, a 2 bedroom in the most desirable and exclusive area in Santa Barbara at West Beach, just a few steps away from the sand. Ideally located just two short blocks from the beach between Stearn's Wharf (Pier) and the Santa Barbara Harbor. This romantic getaway allows you to leisurely walk to the harbor, the pier, restaurants, wine tasting or just spend your time relaxing. We are also located just two blocks from the "Funk Zone", Santa Barbara's urban wine trail with over 20 wine tasting rooms and restaurants. The cottage is a great choice if you desire a central location where you can just park your car and walk or bike. No extra fees except cleaning. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. More Below:

The Condo:
This is a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom private cottage, and is best suited for 2 adults with small children or 3 adults max. There are two regular size sofas in the living room. As you can see from the photos it is upstairs and has its own large and private 200 square foot deck. The deck is covered and functions as an additional outdoor room which has a patio table with four chairs and an outdoor sofa. A wonderful spot where you can eat alfresco, just relax, or work from your computer. A large skylight window inside drenches the interior with sunlight and creates a great space to read or watch the palms sway in the wind. The kitchen is modern and bright. The living room, dining room, and bedroom all have hardwood flooring throughout. It also has its own private washer and dryer.

Perfect stay

We had a lovely time at Stephanie’s rental. Excellent communication with immediate responses to any questions we had. She was flexible with our check-in and allowed us to store luggage for a couple of hours at check out! Despite Stephanie living on property, we had complete privacy. Everything was very clean and the layout was perfect for 2. Walkable everywhere in SB. Highly recommend and would 100% stay here again.

Great Location

Located within walking distance to the beach, the wharf, the marina, and State Street. Plenty of restaurants and shops to choose from. Also very close is a market and convenience store, as well as a car wash and gas station. Street parking was not an issue when we arrived, but we did have trouble finding a spot when we returned from a short outing that required driving. However, a space opened up later that evening. This shouldn't be an issue for most, as so much is available within walking distance. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to a return visit!

Everything was perfect for the two of us. We attended a concert at the Santa Barbara Bowl and went whale watching. The rental is in a great location with easy access and walking distance to the beach, pier, food, convenience stores. Decorated very nicely, very clean and comfortable.

Wonderful Place - Highly Recommend!

My wife and I have stayed at many VRBO rentals and this is definitely one of the best. Beautifully decorated with comfortable furniture, it is in a quiet location that is close to the beach and downtown Santa Barbara. The set up with Stephanie was quick and easy. Great getaway for couples. (Perhaps a bit small for three people but doable). We plan on returning this summer.
