About this property
Secret Getaway — 2 blocks to the Beach and Funk Zone
Welcome to the Secret Getaway #8, where seaside serenity meets European elegance. Located in the heart of Santa Barbara this elegant space blends coastal tranquility and city convenience.
Nestled in the coveted West Beach, our building is just moments from the ocean, pier, harbor, and boutique shops and renowned restaurants lining downtown SB — spend your days soaking up the sun, discovering local art galleries & wineries, and wandering through the Funk Zone — all just steps from your door.
Chic limestone floors, faux paint finishes, and lofty ten-foot ceilings lend the interiors a timeless and elegant charm. The kitchen is warm and inviting, complete with a granite-topped dining island and essential appliances for effortless meals. The living area is thoughtfully furnished with a plush sofa, TV, and a Waterford fireplace—bringing refinement to your cozy evenings in.
Step into a serene king bedroom where French doors open to private veranda with a gas grill and bistro table—perfect for morning coffee or sunset dining.
The adjoining bathroom features a spacious walk-in shower, granite finishes, and a soaking / jacuzzi tub—perfect for unwinding after a day at the beach.
To elevate your stay, enjoy thoughtful touches throughout: a bottle of champagne to toast your arrival, bath essentials, high-end linens, a private washer/dryer, and a Nespresso machine stocked with pods, cream, and sugar. Reserved parking is included—a rare perk so close to the beach.
With effortless access to the beach and Santa Barbara’s most beloved attractions, the Secret Getaway #8 is perfect for both adventure and relaxation. Spend your days soaking up the sun, indulging in local cuisine, cheersing with happy hour cocktails in the Funk Zone, or savoring quiet moments with loved ones—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 store-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.
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.
