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.

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 had a relaxing 3 night stay at this penthouse. Everything was just as described. The location can't be beat. Everything we needed was in walkable distance. It's a big plus to have a dedicated off street parking space. Most of our time was spent enjoying the penthouse and the private deck. We stayed in the penthouse across the hall last year which was also wonderful. We will be back.

Great location, wonderful space. Only negative was the noise from the refrigerator, runs almost non-stop and we’re sensitive to noise, especially at night. Excellent communication with property manager!

This penthouse was perfect in every way. It had all the amenities for eating in either cooking or grilling. The outside terrace was awesome and perfect for eating dinner with a cool ocean breeze. It was in a quiet neighborhood and best of all was a 3 block walk to the beach and pier and same to get to State street. We parked and never use our car and never ran out of things to do. A perfect relaxing stay.

The location is perfectly situated with the beach, State Street and the Funk Zone just a few blocks away. At the same time, it is just far enough to be really quiet at night. The Penthouse has everything needed for a comfortably stay.
