Affordable Beach Penthouse — 2 blocks to Beach and Funk Zone
Experience the best of Santa Barbara at the Affordable Beach Penthouse #6 — a bright & airy hideaway located in the West Beach area.
Soak up Santa Barbara’s dreamy weather, enjoy your morning coffee and bask in the sun on the private patio & terrace. Just steps from the ocean, Stearns Wharf, the Funk Zone, and lovely dining options, wineries and boutiques, this location offers the perfect blend of coastal charm and city convenience.
Our Affordable Beach Penthouse #6 offers an ambiance of modern elegance and seaside serenity.
The sun-soaked living room offers a 42” HD TV and flows effortlessly into the adjoining dining room and kitchen. Expansive windows bathe the space with natural light and frame idyllic skyline and mountain views. A Waterford fireplace adds warmth and ambiance for cozy evenings in. Step outside to two private outdoor decks, thoughtfully furnished with lounge seating and an electric BBQ—perfect for alfresco dining.
As the sun sets over Santa Barbara, raise a glass of our complimentary champagne as you soak in the final hours of daylight.
The kitchen has been completed with high-end appliances that combine ease and elegance: a stainless steal oven, microwave, dishwasher and silverware, glassware, etc. A private washer & dryer are conveniently located in the closet off the living room, and air conditioning is provided for added comfort.
The romantic bedroom has an orthopedic king bed, ensuring ultimate relaxation, and French glass doors that open to a spacious, private terrace. The adjoining bathroom offers a shower/tub combination.
Thoughtful touches are included to make the most of your visit: complimentary champagne to toast your arrival, air-conditioning, bath essentials, high-end linens, a private washer & dryer, a Nespresso machine stocked with pods, creams, and sugar, and reserved parking, a rare perk near the beach.
Please note that this apartment is on the third floor (Walk-up).
With effortless access to West beach and Santa Barbara’s most beloved attractions, the Affordable Beach Penthouse #6 offers the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. Spend your days soaking up the sun, savoring local cuisine and happy hour cocktails in the Funk Zone, shopping downtown, or enjoying quiet moments with loved ones — all while surrounded by the natural beauty of the California coast. Tucked away on a residential street, our building offers a serene oasis just moments from the heart of Santa Barbara. Just blocks away, the Funk Zone brings an irresistible charm — a lively coastal enclave where streets meet the sea, brimming with art galleries, boutiques, wine tasting rooms, and eclectic eateries. Convenient bike rentals and the nearby Amtrak station make exploring even easier, whether you're strolling down State Street’s boutique-lined promenade or setting off on an unforgettable day trip to the Channel Islands or Santa Ynez wine country. Whether seeking tranquility or excitement, this perfect location ensures a memorable getaway you'll want to relive again and again.
Our building is fully licensed for short-term rentals and located within the Santa Barbara Coastal Zone, where stays under 30 days are allowed. Many other listings in the city fall outside this zone and are not legally permitted to offer short-term stays—so hosts might decline or cancel your booking request to avoid violations. We, on the other hand, automatically confirm your reservation the moment you book. It’s a seamless, stress-free option for a quick coastal getaway, making us the perfect choice for your Santa Barbara stay.

We loved everything about our stay, the apartment is adorable and has anything you could need. The location is PERFECT and close to everything and in such a cute neighborhood.
Apartment was well appointed, a short stroll from the beach and a 15 minute walk from the centre of Santa Barbara. Parking was well organised and convenient
Good location close to lower State Street and beachfront. Having dedicated off street parking is a big plus! Our second stay- just as good as the first.
liked this property very much.. liked that we could walk to the harbor... and drive to some great places in the area.. #6 was super clean and had most of everything we needed..
If you’re ok with the stairs (we were) this is a lovely, fully appointed home away from home in a super walkable location. Full kitchen, including dishwasher, very private patio space and a lovely mountain view of the SB Riviera. This cozy penthouse apt was very quiet and the bed comfortable (really lovely linens). Parking was a big plus. Communications with both the manager and the on-site manager were quick and responsive. Would stay here again!
Great stay, the accommodations were great.
Important to us comfortable bed, good water pressure and temps for the shower, walkable to the sea and restaurants, air conditioning and washer and dryer.
This place had everything.
We would book again.
This place is incredible. We vacation every summer on the Callifornia coast and this is the best. Location is great, two blocks to beach, restaurants, wharf etc. Great furnishings that are comfortable and higher quality. So much better than the more crowded beaches in southern California. We will return soon.
Everything about this property is 5 Star. The property is located in a beautiful neighborhood close to the beach, marina and downtown. It is easy to walk to shops, restaurants and the waterfront. The apartment is clean, comfortable, and has all amenities to make your stay easy and pleasant. This is my third stay at this lovely property and I plan to return often.
We had a lovely time here. The view from the front window was fabulous. We never used the terrace because the window view was so perfect. The apartment was equipped with everything we needed.
Melonie/Ally replied promptly to all our questions with great advice on restaurants and Wineries. Unit has air conditioning which is a must for us. Parking was also a plus.
Couple of minor issues. Bed skirt was too long and I tripped a few times. Shower head needs replacement or to be cleaned.
Overall excellent vacation rental.

Smoke alarm would go off every time the shower was used, the view from the 2 porches is looking at a roof, the best view is out the front window. The brochures left for reading were out of date (2015). The balcony off the french doors had a screen but it didnt work when trying to pull into place and it was torn. Location was excellent and shower pressure was very nice!!
We really enjoyed our stay. The unit is light and bright, very clean and quiet, with pleasant views. The shower was great and the bed and other furniture were in good condition and comfortable. The deck and lounge chairs were very nice, we spent a good deal of time there just enjoying the beautiful weather. The location is ideal, it's an easy and pleasant walk to State St and the beach and harbor. There were a few very minor issues (entry instructions could be updated, toaster half-worked, could use some instructions for hvac units, wax buildup on table, one or two of the stove burners wouldn't light) but they did not adversely affect our stay. We would definitely consider staying again the next time we're in Santa Barbara!
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!
Really cute place. Great amenities and really soft towels. The location is really central. While not really needed, it was a treat to have a/c. Would definitely stay here again.
