The Space:
The building:
Surf Station is a small collection of private apartments in Santa Barbara’s West Beach neighborhood, managed by Maza Hospitality. Unit 1 is entirely your own — you won’t share a hallway, kitchen, or bath.
Sleeping:
Bedroom: king bed
Living room: sofa bed
Sleeps up to 4. All beds made up with hotel-grade linens and towels.
The space:
A fully renovated 1-bedroom tucked into a tropical courtyard, steps from the beach. Living room with a pull-out sofa and a 50" flat-screen TV, fast WiFi throughout, and a bathroom stocked with Public Goods products.
Kitchen:
Full kitchen, stocked for real cooking — gas stove, dishwasher, full-size fridge, and oven, plus cookware, bakeware, knives, utensils, plates, glassware, and coffee and wine glasses. Nespresso machine with a starter set of pods, plus a kettle. Salt, pepper, oil, and basic pantry staples on hand.
Shared courtyard:
Gas BBQ, picnic table, fountain, and overhead string lights, shared with the other Surf Station apartments.
Parking:
One free private parking spot is included — park once and walk everywhere. Street parking in West Beach is genuinely difficult, so this is a real perk.
Getting around:
Funk Zone tasting rooms and restaurants: ~5 min walk
West Beach and Stearns Wharf: ~10 min walk
Downtown / State Street: ~10 min walk
Amtrak Santa Barbara station: directly across the street
Once you’ve parked, you can leave the car for the weekend.
Check-in:
Self check-in by smart lock, after 4:00 PM. Checkout by 11:00 AM. We send door codes and directions on the day of arrival.
Pre-check-in:
After booking, we ask you to complete a quick pre check-in: a photo ID upload and a $1 security deposit hold. It takes about two minutes.
Good to know:
This is a lively, downtown-adjacent neighborhood. You’ll hear some city sound, including the occasional train — if you’re a light sleeper, bring earplugs. Please note: the units come with fans but do not have air conditioning. There are exterior security cameras on the property. None are inside the unit. Pets are welcome — there is a $75 pet fee for the stay.
Maximum 4 guests. No parties or events.

The property was clean and accommodating. The management was attentive and responsive. The neighborhood was beautiful and safe. Within walking distance to everything in Santa Barbara and an easy drive to everything else. 5 out 5 stars
The main couch had a large white stain, and the cleaning crew never came by as expected. Additionally, the extra fan arrived more than 3 hours after the scheduled drop-off time.
