Historic Property in Santa Barbara's Premier Location
Location is everything, and it's hard to find a better one in Santa Barbara. Situated in the highly sought-after West Beach neighborhood, you're just a short walk from the beach, Stearns Wharf, State Street, the Funk Zone, restaurants, shopping, wine tasting, and the Amtrak station.
Please note that this is a historic property that is over 100 years old. While the apartment has been thoughtfully renovated and updated with modern comforts, part of its appeal is the charm and character that come with a historic coastal home. Guests seeking a brand-new luxury building may find the character of a historic property different from newer construction.

We take great pride in providing an exceptional value in one of Santa Barbara's best locations. If, upon arrival, you feel the apartment is materially different from what was represented in the listing and does not provide the value you expected, please contact us immediately.
If we are unable to address your concerns, we will gladly allow you to shorten your stay and refund any unused nights. Guests are responsible only for the nights stayed and the cleaning fee.

About the host
Hosted by Jeff Crosby
We are residents of Santa Barbara, having moved from the Sacramento area and Canada to here in 2008. We formerly occupied the front main unit of this beautiful tri-plex by the beach and oversee the property ourselves.
Our rooftop is a beautiful, demonstration aeroponic, soil-less vertical farm which is available to our guests for lounging, dining and just enjoying!
Health-conscious and fitness-oriented, our family enjoys beach volleyball, bicycling and running right here in West Beach with its nearby amenities. We also are pioneering a soil-less, vertical aeroponic Tower Garden farm on our rooftop.
We love sharing our love of this ideal neighborhood with our guests.
Why they chose this property
West Beach is THE place to stay in Santa Barbara for both beach and downtown access. Very few properties become available here, and certainly none with the amenities we offer for the reasonable price we offer!
What makes this property unique
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. Lastly, getting individual attention from the property owners/managers, Janis & Joy will make your stay memorable.
