About the host

Hosted by Jeff Crosby

Host profile image
I attended Westmont College and two of our kids attended as well. We love the community and beauty of Santa Barbara and we especially love the life time memories that West Beach has given to our family. My family also loves this area to train for their Ironman, Half Ironman and Marathon training. We love Los Banos pool and the cycling in this area.

Why they chose this property

West Beach is THE place to stay in SB for both beach and downtown access. Very few properties become available here. And with the City onslaught on Short-Term Rentals, ours is one of FEW authorized, legitimately permitted Vacation Rental units in SB !! We also have a 3 bedroom, 3 bath right around the corner (whith parking. If available and needed).

What makes this property unique

A rooftop is available for early morning and evening access.
The historic building and charming unit are unique in Santa Barbara . The privacy offered by the backyard patio by Mission Creek is special. The access to everything Santa Barbara has to offer is amazing and our rooftop farm is supremely unique and special.
