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..

Location, location is right! Aside from The Old Mission and a few other spots, everything else is well within walking distance of this spot. The kitchen has a full spice rack and a great full set of nice pots, pans and cooking utensils. The patio garden is in process so wasn't quite as nice as the listing shows, but still a cool additional spot to enjoy while on the property. The host is super friendly, helpful and communicative as well. A great stay for small groups or couples for sure.

Cute place! Everything you need for a stay near beautiful downtown SB. Fully-functional kitchen, comfy bed, and clean. The host, Jeff, is very responsive and tries hard to accommodate any requiests. A real find!

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.
