About this property
Ideally Located! West Beach Spacious 1-Br/1-Ba With Amazing Rooftop Garden!
Historic triplex in West Beach.
This main front 1-BR unit was our home for 15 years. It features a newly renovated bathroom with dual-sink vanity and soaker tub/shower, plus a newly renovated large kitchen.
High-ceiling rooms with intricate architectural detailing and built-ins; fireplaces in both LR and BR; a luxurious king-size bed in the main BR and a high-quality American Upholstery sofa-sleeper (queen+) in the LR.
Besides the lovely front porch, guests can access the rooftop patio/garden to lounge, enjoy coffee, happy hour, or a meal!
**A second 2-level 1-BR unit in our triplex has been serving as a vacation rental since 2008. See vrbo #255189. Another one-story unit may also be available, vrbo #395242.

About the host
Hosted by Janis Kelly
We are residents of Santa Barbara, having moved from the Sacramento area and Canada 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
A beautiful building in a unique neighborhood - IDEALLY located for beachfront and downtown access by foot.
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
A rooftop aeroponic garden 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.
Lastly, getting individual attention from the property owners/managers, Janis & Joy will make your stay memorable.
