About this condo rental
Situated in Santa Barbara, this charming condo for $299 per night is a great option for your next vacation. The Exceptional Ocean Getaway provides a charming hideaway for those who cherish serenity in a most sought-after location. Situated in the coveted West Beach Area, you'll be steps from the ocean, and mere blocks from Stearns Wharf, the vibrant Funk Zone as well as world renowned dining and downtown shops. During your stay, you’ll be lavished with all the amenities expected as part of a beautiful getaway: complimentary champagne upon arrival, luxury bath essentials, private washer & dryer, high-end linens, Nespresso machine complete with pods, creams and sugar as well as reserved parking which is rare in such close proximity to the beach. The Exceptional Ocean Getaway boasts warm, natural light, beautiful limestone surfaces, a spacious walk-in shower and Waterford fireplace giving it both a romantic and European feeling. The fully-equipped kitchen was meticulously designed with high end appliances: Subzero refrigerator, Wolf cook top stove, oven, dishwasher, microwave, a nespresso machine as well as a private washer and dryer. The dining room table accommodates up to 6. There are also two tables and chair sets in the private encased interior courtyard. The cozy living room is a lovely gathering area with hardwood floors, couch with a queen sofa bed, a 55" HD TV, two over-stuffed venetian chairs and an antique Louis VIV desk as well as a Waterford fireplace to enhance its ambiance. The king bedroom offers a 40” HD TV with an accompanying bathroom that includes a walk in shower. The queen bedroom features a 20” HD TV and has an accompanying bathroom with shower/tub combination. The bathrooms are freshly renovated and beautifully completed with limestone floors, granite countertops and custom Santa Barbara-style cabinets. The living room features French glass doors inviting views of the courtyard and romantic Italian fountain into the space. Indulge in the magic of Mediterranean-like weather in the spacious courtyard, offering a gas grill, and chaise lounge seating to dine alfresco and delight in local produce. 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.

It's a beautiful well maintained home, with plenty of privacy and a lovely outside dining patio. The specific parking spot was appreciated.
We had a challenge with the tv...trying to use our netflix and prime accounts. Some written instructions could be helpful.
Thanks!

Perfect for our short stay in Santa Barbara! Close enough to walk everywhere we wanted.
Loved the small outdoor sitting areas, espresso, tvs, nice shower pressure, comfortable beds and even a pull-out couch. We loved eating at Toma's, Finney's, Brophy Bros and lunch tacos at Mony's.

Our stay was better than expected and I had high expectations! The owners had everything we needed including a pack-n-play, beach towels, beach chairs, hair dryer, shampoo/conditioner/soap, etc. The kitchen was so well stocked with everything you would need for an elaborate meal. The living room was larger than pictured too. The courtyard, the largest on the property I think, was wonderful for my 8 and 2 YO to play in the mornings and after the beach. We had a perfect Californian vacation in this property!

In a word, it just felt comfortable (and that is a huge compliment!!) Not flashy, not showy, but appliances were top of the line, unit was clean, it and had everything we would/could need. My only issue was a few window blinds need replacing. Unfortunately, weather prohibited us from using and enjoying the beautiful patio. Location was perfect. Close to beach and easy walk to downtown. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

The location and property were great. The only negative is we were on the bottom floor and you could hear the people above us.

We met good friends here for a week and it was a perfect spot in Santa Barbara! Your condo was a great size and layout for two couples, wonderful location for walking around, and close to the waterfront. We also loved having a special parking spot behind the building. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and the Santa Cruz Market around the corner was most convenient. Bauder was very helpful with letting us drop our bags off early and responded right away when I told her there was no hot water. We would definitely highly recommend your place to anyone visiting Santa Barbara. Thanks so much *****

Our stay at this gorgeous and wonderful condominium was beyond our expectations! The location to shops, restaurants and the beach was just incredible and minutes away. We literally, walked around gorgeous Santa Barbara….The accommodations and furnishings were extremely well appointed…Our only “minor” complaint would be the noisy people above ⬆️ us… We could clearly hear their conversation and the television in both the master bedroom and the living room area.

Great location! Easy walk to the beach, Funk Zone and State Street. Kitchen is well stocked and the outdoor patio space is amazing! I felt very secure with the locked gates and the lockbox for the keys. My only negative comment would be that the dryer took forever to dry a load of clothes. I would definitely stay here again.

Very happy with the property! It was spacious and the location was convenient. The beds and linens were very comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped and the outdoor spaces were lovely. The champagne in the fridge was a nice touch!
I knew there would be no AC, and there were many windows that provided a breeze throughout. However noise was a problem, gates slamming closed, conversations heard as guests travelled the stairs late at night or early morning.
Overall our experience was good! I just didn’t consider that no AC would be an issue.

This property was perfect for our family to stay for 3 nights to attend a wedding. Great neighborhood within walking distance of the beach which was lovely.

We stayed here for 2 nights with our 2 kids and it was a great stay. We loved having the charming porch with gorgeous flowers and comfy lounge chairs. The kitchen had what we needed and everything was clean and in good shape. Off street parking was a great plus too. We will recommend to others and happily stay here again.

Great location: quiet, walkable to water and restaurants. Clean. The outdoor space was very pleasant for family meals and reading. Great water pressure in shower, nice kitchen. There were some downsides. The main bedroom with the king bed is cramped, and has significant privacy issues--a security camera in the courtyard looks right into the room, and other guests using the stairs can also see right into the room if the blinds are up. There is no AC, so it was warm if the windows were closed. Only 3 box fans, but no place to set them up higher (the beds are very high) to get a good breeze. If the windows are open, you got noise and light from the courtyard. The beds were not that comfortable, and there was no place to keep the giant show pillows. The pullout couch bed was very uncomfortable; my son ended up sleeping on the couch cushions on the floor. The bathroom exhaust fan didn't work, so the small bathroom got very steamy. Can't open the bathroom window much due to privacy issues again.
