About this property

Exceptional Ocean Getaway — blocks to Beach and Funk Zone

Escape to Exceptional Ocean Getaway #1 — a seaside oasis in Santa Barbara’s West Beach. Unwind in the privacy of your own courtyard and soak up the city’s idyllic weather, or spend your days wandering through the Funk Zone’s vibrant art galleries, boutiques, and wineries.

Just moments from the ocean, Stearns Wharf, the Funk Zone, and downtown Santa Barbara’s restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and bars, this retreat offers the perfect balance of city convenience and serenity.



Our Exceptional Ocean Getaway #1 offers a tranquil, spacious retreat —perfect for families and groups seeking comfort, elegance, and the quintessential Santa Barbara experience. With sophisticated interiors, an expansive living area, and an enviable location just steps from the sand, this space is designed for effortless coastal living.

Inside, the living room unfolds with hardwood floors, a plush sofa bed, a Waterford fireplace, and a TV. Two sets of French glass doors lead to a sun-drenched private courtyard, furnished with chaise lounges, a bistro set, and a gas grill — an ideal setting for a peaceful morning coffee or alfresco dining under the stars.

As the sun sets, toast with a glass of complimentary champagne awaiting your arrival. Whether you’re soaking up the last golden light of day or unwinding beside the warm glow of the Waterford fireplace, this inviting space sets the tone for an unforgettable Santa Barbara getaway.

Thoughtfully designed for both ease and elegance, the kitchen showcases premium finishes and custom cabinetry. Top-tier appliances — including a Subzero refrigerator, stove, oven, dishwasher, and microwave — along with a private washer and dryer, provide every comfort of home. The dining table seats up to six, while the enclosed private courtyard offers additional dining space.

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 apartment features 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 vibrant 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.

We loved our experience of staying here. My only critique is the kitchen table. The layout and glass not being secured on the base was inconvenient. It’s very walkable to the beach and several restaurants and bars.

About the host

Hosted by Melanie Cava

Host profile image
We own multiple properties in Santa Barbara. All the studio, one bedroom and 2 bedroom units you see here are located on 201 Bath Street. My husband and I own and manage each of our properties. We have pride of ownership and when you call with questions regarding the properties or any concerns you speak directly to us. We own and manage the entire complex and all the units inside it. This pride of ownership shows and as a result our guests return over and over again providing us with a loyal customer base. Many of our guests have been coming for years and for long-term stays.

Why they chose this property

There are so many Santa Barbara properties available for rent. The number one difference between all of them are location, location, location. The closer to the beach and the closer to Santa Barbara the more expensive the real estate. We are 2 blocks to the beach and downtown, not on a commercial thorough fare, not next to the highway or railroad track and not a bus ride or car ride away from downtown. We combine our location with the best pricing and the best amenities. Finally, we are immaculately clean.
