Affordable Beach Penthouse #6 — blocks to the Beach, downtown & the Funk Zone

Experience serenity at the Affordable Beach Penthouse — a dreamy oasis situated in the heart of Santa Barbara. Soak up Santa Barbara's enchanting weather on a private, spacious terrace while enjoying cool comfort with air conditioning. Just a stone's throw from the ocean, Stearns Wharf, the vibrant Funk Zone, and acclaimed dining and shops, our quintessential location adds to the allure.

Our Affordable Beach Penthouse features a harmonious blend of seaside romanticism and coastal charm. The kitchen has been elegantly completed with European appliances and luxurious design: a stainless steal oven, microwave, dishwasher and beautiful, Calcutta stone countertops.

The sun-soaked living room offers a 42” HD TV and flows effortlessly into the adjoining dining room and kitchen. Spacious windows invite bright skyline and mountain views into the space. Experience the allure of Mediterranean-like weather from your own terrace & patio, complete with lounge seating and BBQ to dine alfresco. There's no better way to savor Santa Barbara’s dreamy sunsets than with a toast to the horizon.

Delight in the romantic bedroom, complete with an orthopedic king bed and French glass doors that open to the private terrace. The ensuite bathroom features a shower/tub combination.

During your stay, you’ll be lavished with all the amenities expected as part of a perfect getaway: air-conditioning, complimentary champagne upon arrival, bath essentials, high-end linens, and a Nespresso machine with pods, creams and sugar as well as reserved parking which is rare in such close proximity to the beach.

Please note that the space is located is on the third floor (Walk-up).

Our luxury beach getaways —in the Historical West Beach area— reside in a historical turn of the century building which retains the charm of the day’s bygone. The building has been lovingly restored to reflect Santa Barbara's ambiance, its array of apartments revealing both romantic and European styles. Our various spaces are complemented by luxurious details from Carrera marble surfaces, hand cast plaster, 10 feet vaulted ceilings and Waterford fireplaces.

Located in the heart of Santa Barbara, you’ll be steps from the beach and blocks from Stearn’s Wharf and the harbor, world renowned dining and downtown shops, as well as the Public Market and our own local farmer’s market. Close proximity to the vibrant Funk Zone also adds to the allure. This nook where the streets meet the ocean, was was one an industrial spot, but is now a flourishing space with lively and artistic locale. The benefit of nearby bike rental shops and the downtown Amtrak station further allows for easy transportation. As you’ll be located downtown, beautiful shops and restaurants lining State Street and nearby beaches and gardens are perfect for unwinding, whereas, nearby Channel Islands and wine country prompt adventurous day trips.

Nestled between the Santa Ynez Mountains and the Pacific Ocean on the Central Coast of California, Santa Barbara offers dreamy ocean panoramas paired with Spanish-style architecture. Santa Barbara is home to miles of stretching, sandy beaches. A few steps inland, and you’ll find a trove of blooming gardens, towering palms and lush parks. This gentle crescent of California coast, known as the American Riviera, connects breathtaking beaches, soaring mountains, verdant vineyards, elevated enclaves and eclectic communities.

Wonderful apartment in a great location
We’re so glad we stayed here! It’s a great, light-filled space in a neighborhood that’s convenient both to downtown and the beach. Amazingly quiet thanks to double-paned windows. Nicely appointed with hassle-free check-in/out. We would gladly stay here again.

Loved our getaway!
We 100% enjoyed our stay in the penthouse! We were in town for a family wedding and extended our stay in Santa Barbara, so it was more affordable to stay here than the hotel. The place was very comfortable, the mountain view was calming, the location was excellent and we'd stay here again! We also loved the Hotel Collection bath towels and the shower with GREAT pressure. We highly recommend it.
