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.

Great property, must have been a grand home in the past. Communication was great with Ally in customer service, not the best with onsite staff. Well stocked, beautifully appointed. Great location! Walk-able to beach and all the fun in SB.
This place was perfect for what I needed. And was a great location - I was in town to do the triathlon. Very close to state street too which was great. The place was clean and bed was comfortable. Temp was good with the window open at night and the fan on.
The apartment is very pretty, quiet and bright. Very comfortable bed. My only issue was with check-in. Lock box was quite difficult to access. Needs updating.
My accommodations at this west beach place were perfect! The studio was exactly as described and had an amazingly well stocked kitchen. The living space was spacious and comfortable and the view from the window was beautiful. Thank you Melanie for the lovely stay!
I loved the apartment, the building, and the neighborhood.
A few minutes walk to Cabrillo St and all the restaurants, shops, and the beach near Stern’s Warf.
I enjoyed one bright warm sunny day. But even the cool and cloudy days seemed like dream.

Have stayed at this property before & was quite pleased with that first visit. This time, when I arrived, the studio reeked of fried food - even after leaving the windows open. I bought a plug-in air freshener, which eventually removed the smell. I left it in place -- my gift. Perhaps the cleaning crew needs better instructions? Otherwise all was fine.
We had a wonderful stay in this studio apartment. It’s well appointed, bright and all the conveniences one needs. Bed is very comfortable. Location is fantastic for enjoying the harbor and downtown areas and Pershing park for catching Forestters baseball which is why we came. Access to the 101 is great also. I would definitely stay here again!
The unit was bright, clean and well-appointed. The property felt completely safe. I prepared a full meal for my dad in the kitchen and was only lacking a rimmed baking sheet! A hairdryer would have been nice, but I imagine that’s an item that “walks away”. My only complaint is I’m a tidy person, and the cleaning fee seems high for 400 square feet.
This studio is in a good location close to the beach and center of the town. There are units in thi
If you are lucky to have quiet neighboring this building, you can have a nice stay. Studio has everything you need. I was not so lucky with the upstairs neighbors( moving furniture every night ‘) building is nice and good location
