About this property

Affordable Beach Penthouse — 2 blocks to Beach and Funk Zone

Experience the best of Santa Barbara at the Affordable Beach Penthouse #6 — a bright & airy hideaway located in the West Beach area.



Soak up Santa Barbara’s dreamy weather, enjoy your morning coffee and bask in the sun on the private patio & terrace. Just steps from the ocean, Stearns Wharf, the Funk Zone, and lovely dining options, wineries and boutiques, this location offers the perfect blend of coastal charm and city convenience.



Our Affordable Beach Penthouse #6 offers an ambiance of modern elegance and seaside serenity.



The sun-soaked living room offers a 42” HD TV and flows effortlessly into the adjoining dining room and kitchen. Expansive windows bathe the space with natural light and frame idyllic skyline and mountain views. A Waterford fireplace adds warmth and ambiance for cozy evenings in. Step outside to two private outdoor decks, thoughtfully furnished with lounge seating and an electric BBQ—perfect for alfresco dining.



As the sun sets over Santa Barbara, raise a glass of our complimentary champagne as you soak in the final hours of daylight.



The kitchen has been completed with high-end appliances that combine ease and elegance: a stainless steal oven, microwave, dishwasher and silverware, glassware, etc. A private washer & dryer are conveniently located in the closet off the living room, and air conditioning is provided for added comfort.



The romantic bedroom has an orthopedic king bed, ensuring ultimate relaxation, and French glass doors that open to a spacious, private terrace. The adjoining bathroom offers a shower/tub combination.



Thoughtful touches are included to make the most of your visit: complimentary champagne to toast your arrival, air-conditioning, bath essentials, high-end linens, a private washer & dryer, a Nespresso machine stocked with pods, creams, and sugar, and reserved parking, a rare perk near the beach.



Please note that this apartment is on the third floor (Walk-up).



With effortless access to West beach and Santa Barbara’s most beloved attractions, the Affordable Beach Penthouse #6 offers the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. Spend your days soaking up the sun, savoring 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 lively 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.



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 or cancel 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.

Perfect Cozy Home 2 blocks From the Beach

If you’re ok with the stairs (we were) this is a lovely, fully appointed home away from home in a super walkable location. Full kitchen, including dishwasher, very private patio space and a lovely mountain view of the SB Riviera. This cozy penthouse apt was very quiet and the bed comfortable (really lovely linens). Parking was a big plus. Communications with both the manager and the on-site manager were quick and responsive. Would stay here again!

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.
