About this property
Luxury Beach Studio — 2 blocks to the Beach and Funk Zone
Experience the allure of the Luxury Beach Studio #12, where contemporary sophistication meets upscale details. Set in the picturesque West Beach area, you’ll be just moments from the ocean, Stearns Wharf, the harbor, and incredible dining and boutiques in downtown Santa Barbara. Spend your days basking in the sun, visiting local art galleries and wineries, and exploring the Funk Zone.
Please keep in mind this studio is for 1 guest only and is located on the 2nd floor (Walk-up).
Designed for solo travelers, the studio showcases modern design with high-end finishes throughout. The interior boasts a full bed, a stylish high-top dining table, and an L-shaped couch (not pictured). The newly renovated bathroom features a walk-in shower and accent tiles inspired by the rich aesthetics of Andalusia, Spain. The kitchen is equipped with sleek European appliances, including a stainless steel oven, microwave, and dishwasher, all complemented by elegant Calcutta stone countertops.
Soak up the sun and enjoy Santa Barbara’s dreamy weather on the private deck, offering a gas grill, chaise lounge, and bistro set — perfect for enjoying your morning coffee and dining alfresco.
Thoughtful touches are included to make the most of your visit: complimentary champagne to toast your arrival, bath essentials, high-end linens, and a Nespresso machine complete with pods, creams and sugars. A quarter-operated washer and dryer is provided in the downstairs basement in the building complex.
For those seeking the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation, the Luxury Beach Studio #12 offers effortless access to Santa Barbara’s most beloved attractions. Spend your days soaking up the sun, indulging in local cuisine and happy hour margaritas at Santo Mezcal, or unwinding on the private patio—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.

About the host
Hosted by Melanie Cava
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.
