About this property
Beach front Sea Loft in Santa Barbara. Weekly discounts. Best beach sunsets!
Welcome to the newly completed Sea Lofts at Padaro Beach. This is Santa Barbara's most exclusive beach. If you are looking for a safe place to stay, this is it. You won't find closer accommodations to the water for miles. Not only are you a few feet from the sea, you are a hundred yards from surf shops, restaurants and boutiques . You can rent surfboards, paddle boards, take surf lessons, or grab breakfast, lunch or dinner at one of the locals spots on Santa Claus Lane without ever getting in your car. The Sea Lofts are the premier beach destination for Santa Barbara. You can walk for miles at low tide, or just sit on the deck and watch the sunset. The well appointed Surf Loft has a king bed and full bath that is handicap accessible. It is spacious, with a full kitchenette. Featuring a microwave, fridge, and everything you need for a memorable stay at the beach. There is an outside shower to rinse off after your day playing in the sand. We provide beach chairs, beach towels and an umbrella for those beautiful sunny beach days
If your looking for more things to do, you have the option of going into Carpinteria 3 minutes away or Montecito and Santa Barbara 8 minutes away. Spend a day in Ojai just a short 30 minute trip. After a long day of fun, fall asleep with the sound of the waves just outside your window.

We loved staying at the Sea Loft. It is beautifully decorated and was very clean. Two things to note, the AmTrak train is 30 feet away and passes at 7:00 am. not a problem the rest of the day. Was fun waving at the passengers. And the highway is a bit close too. The rest of the amenities and decor is wonderful. The beach was perfect. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Clean, modern, comfortable. Just what we needed for a weekend exploring the nearby harbors.
This property looks beautiful. Jeffrey was very accommodating as we had to change the reservation multiple times. Due to a last minute conflict we could not go, but honestly, we really want to go so we will be booking again.

This property is perfection. We’ll maintained, lots of amenities, comfy bed, a/c, Wi-Fi, parking. Even provide beach chairs and umbrella. You won’t want to leave once you check in. The beach access/location is one of a kind. Host is very kind and accommodating. Can’t wait to book again. A very special place.
Our stay was great, so enhanced by the very comfortable, calm beautiful space. Every feature is updated version. Loved the stylishly cool bathroom and its open floor walk-in shower. The direct ocean view makes it all come together to top rating in wonderful Carpenteria, a big favorite!
Breath taking ocean views. One of the nicest places I’ve stayed at. Highly recommend. Place was first-class. Only thing I would mention, is that I wasn’t aware there was a train that passes by occasionally, but honestly didn’t care, it was an amazing experience and a great room. The door locks were finicky, but the overall vibe of the area/neighborhood made me feel safe, and somewhat comfortable not being able to lock my doors. Just tells you what an incredible stay this was, definition of care free. Magical place. 5 out of 5. Would return.
The efficiency is very clean, well decorated , large comfortable sectional, large bathroom, lovely robes, nice dishes, good view in a small beach community. It was very good for a few night stays given we attended a wedding. Microwave and fridge are good for a few grocery items and take out. Freezer would be nice, or ice available. The beach is very lovely but I didn't feel compelled to walk as often as I normally do, because of the rocks you have to climb. It's not a big obstacle but I can see how it would be with small children and beach equipment. The train that goes by for 15 seconds a few times a day is not a big deal, in fact I thought lovely, remi
niscent of the old santa fe or Polar express. Jeff quickly responded to requests and excellent to work with. Easy drive to adorable Monticito and Santa Barbara for shopping and great restaurants.
We had an excellent stay at the efficiency loft which has a front seat view of the Pacific Ocean. Can't decide which were more beautiful -- The sunrise or sunset views: dolphin dorsal fins, the Channel Islands in the distance, or occasional landing of paragliders at our front yard. So handy to have three restaurants within walking distance, and almost everything else within a 20 minute drive from Carpinteria. The unit is very conveniently designed and accessible! -- especially the shower. We would live to return!b Thank you Jeff and family for great hospitality.
I absolutely adore everything about the Surf Loft! I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve stayed. It is a peaceful well-appointed studio close to all the area has to offer.
Beautiful property in a beautiful place!
You can’t beat the location and the property is awesome.
Close to restaurants, shops, Carpinteria and Santa Barbara.
We’ve been to a lot of VRBO’s but this one is special.
We loved the Surf Loft! The view and proximity to the beach was amazing. It was clean and modern and Jeff was very attentive. We miss the view already - highly recommend!!
We stayed here for our wedding weekend and it was the perfect location and amount of space for the two of us. Jeff was a great host and we can’t wait to come back!
So close to the beach, so close to Santa Barbara, a beautiful spot to get away from it all.
The train does roll by, but the property is very well built so the sound is not bad at all.
Thanks for letting us stay, we will be back.
I love the Sea Loft! This is my fifth stay & it never disappoints. It is the perfect escape, yet so close to everything. The host Jeff has always been helpful & super responsive. I cannot wait for my next stay!
Just what I was looking for. Nicely appointed and comfortable rental, great location, and I loved hearing the ocean at night. So peaceful. I’d love to go back one day.
This was my at least fourth stay at the Surf Loft - it truly is my Happy Place! Love the comforts of the loft & in close proximity to so many great places. Plus, Jeff is a great host! Already looking at my future dates for my next visit! Thank you Jeff for sharing this amazing place!
The property looks exactly as it does online. It's clean, spacious and comfortable. The view and location can't be beat. The only downside is the train that passes by several times a day - starting at 7am with a startlingly loud whistle!
I absolutely love the Surf Loft! This was my second stay in less than 3 months & I’m already trying to figure out when I can return. The studio is perfect - comfort & location. I love that I can see & hear the pounding surf. Plus, it’s proximity to both quaint Carpinteria & Santa Barbara along with great restaurants is ideal. Plus, Jeff, the owner, is great too. Counting my days until my next stay…
