About this apartment rental

Historic Property in Santa Barbara's Premier Location

Location is everything, and it's hard to find a better one in Santa Barbara. Situated in the highly sought-after West Beach neighborhood, you're just a short walk from the beach, Stearns Wharf, State Street, the Funk Zone, restaurants, shopping, wine tasting, and the Amtrak station.

Please note that this is a historic property that is over 100 years old. While the apartment has been thoughtfully renovated and updated with modern comforts, part of its appeal is the charm and character that come with a historic coastal home. Guests seeking a brand-new luxury building may find the character of a historic property different from newer construction.

Book with Confidence Guarantee

We take great pride in providing an exceptional value in one of Santa Barbara's best locations. If, upon arrival, you feel the apartment is materially different from what was represented in the listing and does not provide the value you expected, please contact us immediately.

If we are unable to address your concerns, we will gladly allow you to shorten your stay and refund any unused nights. Guests are responsible only for the nights stayed and the cleaning fee.

Our goal is simple: we want every guest to feel comfortable, fairly treated, and confident in their booking..

Excellent location and a true Santa Barbara property. Owner was terrific and we will be back again
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
Jeff is an incredible host and this property was exactly what my husband and I were looking for.#1. Location location location. Walking distance to everything. Coffee, the pier, restaurant galore, wine tasting, bike rental, museums. This is the 1 bed 1 bath place.#2. The property. That bed is so comfy, great job Jeff. It has that authenticity of old meets new. Yes, the shower is small but the bath had everything one needs. Forget your blowdryer ladies. #3. It’s a great value, if you can look past the minor issues of the 1 person at a time in the shower, the rooftop not with the furniture as shown but still a great place to enjoy morning coffee, and the older couch. Trust me 10 out of 10 choice of gorgeous.

Jeff is an attentive host with quick response time to questions. The neighborhood is gorgeous! We felt safe and were a block away from the beach, shopping, Stearn wharf, and endless yummy food and bars. The accommodations are cozy, clean, and have everything you need for a comfortable stay. We didn’t hear people in the other units which made feel very private. A perfect place to enjoy the chill vibe of SB and be close to everything fun when you want it.
6 / 10Average·Sep 2022
It was a quaint little rental and was very clean. However, we wish the listing would have mentioned the age of the home and the fact that there is no A/C and that everyone here just opens their windows to cool the interior. We happened to come during a heat wave and were very hot our entire stay. I also have a very real fear of spiders so opening the windows without screens was not an option for me. The shower head was not working properly and needs replaced. The shower itself was so small that it could benefit from a removable showerhead to make it easier to bathe. Otherwise beautiful area and close to the beach and the owners were very friendly.
