Exceptional Ocean Getaway #1 — blocks to Beach, downtown State St & Funk Zone

Experience serenity at Exceptional Ocean Getaway #1 — a seaside oasis located in the West Beach area. Soak up Santa Barbara’s dreamy weather in the private courtyard and spend your days exploring art galleries, boutiques, and wineries in the vibrant Funk Zone. With the beach, Stearns Wharf, and downtown attractions just steps away, this location offers the perfect blend of convenience and coastal charm.

Our Exceptional Ocean Getaway #1 offers a sophisticated and spacious retreat —ideal for families and groups seeking comfort, elegance, and the quintessential Santa Barbara experience. With chic interiors, a generous living area, and a location just steps from the sand, this home is designed for effortless coastal living. Inside, the expansive living room features hardwood floors, a plush sofa bed, a 55" HD TV, and timeless Venetian chairs. French glass doors open to a sun-drenched private courtyard, furnished with chaise lounges, a bistro set, and a gas grill—where you can enjoy your morning coffee or dine alfresco under the stars. As the sun sets, raise a glass of complimentary champagne provided upon arrival. Whether you're basking in the sunshine or relaxing by the warm glow of the Waterford fireplace, this inviting space sets the tone for the perfect getaway.

Thoughtfully designed with both style and functionality in mind, the kitchen boasts premium finishes and custom cabinetry. Essential appliances — Subzero refrigerator, stove, oven, dishwasher, microwave — along with a private washer and dryer, provide all the comforts of home. The dining table seats up to six, while the private enclosed courtyard offers two table and chair sets for added dining options. A fully fenced front lawn creates a worry-free play area for little ones, making it easy for families to relax with peace of mind.

The Exceptional Ocean Getaway #1 boasts two beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom for optimal comfort and privacy. The king bedroom includes a TV and an en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. The queen bedroom is complemented by a separate bathroom featuring a shower/tub combo.

To elevate your stay, we've included thoughtful touches throughout: champagne, high-end linens, bath essentials, washer & dryer, a Nespresso machine with pods, cream, and sugar, as well as reserved parking — a rare perk so close to the beach.

With effortless access to West beach and Santa Barbara’s most beloved attractions, the Exceptional Ocean Getaway #1 offers the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. Spend your days basking in the sun, enjoying local cuisine and happy hour cocktails in the Funk Zone, shopping downtown, or enjoying quiet moments with loved ones — all while surrounded by the natural beauty of the California coast. Tucked away on a residential street, our building offers a serene oasis just moments from the heart of Santa Barbara. Just blocks away, the Funk Zone brings an irresistible charm — a lively coastal enclave where streets meet the sea, brimming with art galleries, boutiques, wine tasting rooms, and eclectic 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 perfect location ensures a memorable getaway you'll want to relive again and again.
