Historic West Beach Studio — blocks to beach and Funk Zone

Welcome to our Historic West Beach Studio for those who desire a beautiful location, combined with unparalleled quality and price. Set in the picturesque West Beach area, you’ll be just moments from the ocean, Stearns Wharf, the harbor, and restaurants and boutiques in downtown Santa Barbara. Spend your days enjoying the beach, visiting local art galleries and wineries, and exploring the Funk Zone.



Please note that this unit is for 1 guest and is located on the second floor (Walk-up).



During your stay, thoughtful touches are included to make the most of your Santa Barbara getaway: complimentary champagne to toast your arrival, bath essentials, high-end linens, and a Nespresso machine complete with pods, creams and sugars.



This charming space features a queen bed, 42 HD" TV, full kitchen and a full bathroom. The fully equipped kitchen offers all culinary essentials: a stove, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator and microwave. Large windows invite picturesque views of the mountains and skyline into the living space.



For the solo traveler seeking the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation, the Historic West Beach Studio offers effortless access to Santa Barbara’s most beloved attractions. Spend your days soaking up the sun, shopping downtown, and savoring local cuisine and oceanside alfresco dining—all while immersed in the beauty of the California coast. Just steps away, the vibrant Funk Zone adds to the charm. This nook where the streets meet the ocean, is a beautiful little area with art galleries, wine tasting rooms, and lively eateries. Convenient bike rentals and the nearby Amtrak station make exploring even easier, whether you're strolling down State Street’s boutique-lined promenade or setting off on an unforgettable day trip to the Channel Islands or Santa Ynez wine country. Whether seeking tranquility or excitement, this prime location ensures a memorable getaway you'll want to relive again and again.





While there is no designated parking for this studio, street parking in the neighborhood is generally accessible and plentiful. For your convenience, here are the parking restrictions:



Bath Street: Unrestricted on weekends, except Wednesdays from 9 AM to Noon.



Yanonali Street: Restricted only on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 AM to 5 PM for street cleaning.



We also have other units in the building with their own reserved parking spaces.



Our building is fully licensed for short-term rentals and located within the Santa Barbara Coastal Zone, where stays under 30 days are allowed. Many other listings in the city fall outside this zone and are not legally permitted to offer short-term stays—so hosts might decline your booking request to avoid violations. We, on the other hand, automatically confirm your reservation the moment you book. It’s a seamless, stress-free option for a quick coastal getaway, making us the perfect choice for your Santa Barbara stay.

Would stay again, but had a small mishap

When I arrived at the studio apartment it appeared the unit was not cleaned as there was trash around the unit and the bed was unmade. I contacted the host who immediately sent cleaners to the unit and I was offered a free upgrade for a few days as well. Overall I appreciated the prompt communication and effort that was made to correct the situation, and I would stay at this property again as the units themselves were nice and the location was great.

Great West Beach Spot

Room was small but the thoughtful layout meant that the space felt much bigger than the square footage would indicate. The studio was well appointed and had everything one would need for even an extended stay. Fantastic location for folks interested in beaches, however be prepared for a bit if a walk to State St and downtown. Only downside it that the gorgeous older building does Not have great sound proofing and transferred sound from other units can be readily heard even at normal speaking voices or activity.

Really quiet, clean and convenient

I travel to Santa Barbara for work regularly and prefer a place with a kitchen over a standard hotel. I've stayed in a few units at the 201 Bath building and they've all been clean, quiet and consistent, which is what I'm looking for. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for an easy walk to the beach and a quiet neighborhood.

Book it!

What a wonderful place! I cannot say enough good things about this property- it was perfectly located two blocks from the harbor, extremely clean, beautifully updated, functional and well equipped space, very secure and safe building, lovely property, excellent value, well managed, quiet, parking within a block was not an issue even on the weekend… it was perfect. This place well exceeded my expectations and I was sad to leave! I’ll be back.

Perfectly fine

The studio apartment was just fine. I had everything I needed. The walk to the beach and to State Street was easy. There was a small outdoor place to sit, but it was not inviting. I wish I had rented one of the units that had private outdoor seating.

I absolutely loved staying here. The only downside is because it’s an old building the noise travels easily , if you’re not ok with a little noise this isn’t for you. The kitchen is stocked with common items and utensils too!will stay here again !

Gorgeous Studio, Average Long-term Stay

Stayed in this studio as a night shift travel nurse. It had just been renovated to it's beautiful new design, has a great kitchen, and is in an amazing location. The downsides is that it is very loud- you can hear the goings-on of all the other people staying in the building. I got 2 noise complaints on me even though I wasn't even in the studio/taking a nap at the time. You can also hear the train every time is goes through the station. There is no storage for long-term stays such as a dresser or drawers of any kind although there is a nice large closet. And you have to pay for laundry as it's not in the unit itself. Overall, the location and beautifully renovated space made it worth it, but I wish I had known about these things as a long-term stay!

Long term stay

The owner is amazing at responding to any needs you may have in a timely manner. Gave a Personal tour of the property Which was helpful since the laundry and trash are on the opposite side of the building. Everything you will need is stocked for a long term stay ! Bed is very comfortable and fans are available for warmer nights. Stayed here a month and a half. Great experience ! Near the warf and downtown ! Recommend

Nice studio close to the harbor

The studio is spacious and comfortable. There is a full kitchen with huge fridge. A laundry is also available inside the building. The locatio is nice and quiet, just 5 min walk to the harbor and the sea, where you can go sailing, kayaking or stand up paddle and 10 min biking to the city centre.
