Luxe Villa in Funk Zone | Outdoor Kitchen, Mountain View, 2 Blocks to Beach

Santa Barbara Luxe Villa

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Enjoy true California living 2 blocks from the beach at this gorgeous 2BR/2BA Mediterranean-style villa -- half of a two-villa duplex.

Prepare dinner at the outdoor kitchenette with barbeque grill, mini-fridge, and sink, then dine alfresco at the four-person table. As the sun sets, gather around the gas fireplace and take in lovely views of the Santa Ynez Mountains.

ABOUT THE HOME

Terracotta bricks welcome you to your Mediterranean-inspired villa, where an open floor plan lets you gather with ease. Open the turquoise doors to the wrought-iron balcony and feel the ocean breeze in the living area. On cool winter nights, enjoy the warm ambience of the gas fireplace and watch a movie on the 54in flat-screen TV.

Prepare a delicious Mediterranean feast in the dreamy gourmet kitchen featuring granite countertops and state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances including a Dacor oven, Sub-Zero side-by-side fridge, and a gas stove.

Store local vintages in the wine chiller, and then gather around the large kitchen island for a tasting. In the nearby dining room, up to six can convene at the long wooden table beneath a wrought-iron chandelier.

Or head to the upper balcony and fire up the grill for an alfresco feast. Then light the fireplace and watch the stars come out over the mountains.

This rental sleeps six guests in two bedrooms, both with their own en-suite bathrooms.

The upper-level master bedroom is a private retreat with a queen bed, ceiling fan, gas fireplace, and balcony access. The spacious en-suite master bathroom features a walk-in shower with Moroccan tile work, jetted tub, and a separate water closet.

The second bedroom is on the main level and has a queen bed, a queen daybed, and a wrought-iron balcony overlooking Santa Barbara Street. The en-suite bathroom (also accessed from the hallway) has a walk-in shower.

Guest amenities include complimentary Wi-Fi, a full-size washer/dryer, and garage parking for two vehicles.

Although this home is not equipped with air conditioning, it is rarely needed with Santa Barbara's mild weather and portable fans are available if needed.

THE LOCATION

Located in the heart of The Funk Zone, you'll have plenty of dining and entertainment options. Metropulos Market & Deli, Topa Topa Brewing Co., Lafond Winery, Pali Wine Co., and Shalhoob's Funk Zone Patio are all just a short stroll away.

You're also just 2 blocks from the beach! Or walk to iconic Stearns Wharf, with its shopping and dining delights and the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History.

For even more fun, check out the Old Mission Santa Barbara (2 miles) or rent a bike and go for a ride along the oceanside bike path. The Santa Barbara Zoo and Andree Clark Bird Refuge are also less than 2 miles away.

Nice stay in Santa Barbara
I would definitely stay here again. The place was in a great location and was really nice, well stocked and clean. The freeway was a bit noisy and it doesn't have central air (which is well advertised) but they have fans so we didn't find that too much of an issue. We had an excellent trip and would definitely stay here again!

We loved the location in The Funk Zone. We could walk everywhere. There is a little freeway noise - but not a dealbreaker. House was well appointed with comfortable furniture, nice kitchen and rooftop deck.

GREAT LOCATION
The house was great and it was in a terrific location. The kitchen, living room and Master Suite were spacious and very nice. The outside “rooftop” BBQ area was small and a little disappointing but the location was so good we just went out when we wanted outdoor patio time. The garage was very convenient and Vacasa was very easy to work with. We give 4 1/2 stars and recommend it.

Classic Santa Barbara.
Beautiful property - high end finishes, beautiful tile, landscaping. We didn’t really use the kitchen but it’s well stocked. Garage isn’t very secure so make sure to lock and don’t keep anything valuable in car. Bring a speaker if you want to listen to music on upstairs patio. Walking distance to everything- great restaurants and shops, beach, pier.

Awesome Place!
The location is amazing making it easy to walk to restaurants, shopping, the beach or just stroll around tasting wine. Great to have garage parking and home was appointed well. Minor complaint is that the pillows could be replaced or offer more options as they are very flat and both my husband and I walked away from our stay with sore necks. Note asking us not to use the elevator which was fine for us but should be noted and while we didn’t cook or grill it appeared that the grill may not be functioning and the balcony fireplace had a note apologizing for it being broken. That being said, we still loved this place and will definitely book again if we return to the area.

Great house, great location
We loved staying at this property for two weeks this summer. The house was very clean when we arrived and bigger than the photos suggested. The location was amazing and we were able to walk to the beach, restaurants, parks, etc. Even in the time of Covid, there were many outdoor activities at our finger tips. The property manager was very responsive and happy to answer questions via text throughout our stay. I would suggest that the rental agency provide more cleaning and paper products for the house. We were down to our last bit of dish soap by the time we left. Additionally, the kitchen (which is beautiful and lovely to cook in), lacked some equipment and cook ware. We will definitely be back. Thank you!!

Nice home needs some maintenence
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful home with nice parking garage.The hot water heater wasn't working when we arrived but the Turnkey rep had it taken care of asap.The faucets and drains in most sinks need attention. Surprised there weren't any beach towels, there's no smoke alarm in master bedroom, the closet is missing a socket cover,more than 2 towels per guests would be nice. Just seems like attention to detail is lacking. Fun location, easy to walk and bike around town. Shaloobs is right around the corner. They have great beer and food! We weren't sure about a vacation during COVID but were very happy to see that Santa Barbara is taking extra precautions. More mask wearing than anywhere else we've been and tables were all spaced at least 6 feet apart.

Needs improvement!!
We found this property very disappointing. It is old and needs many updates. The carpets rugs and furniture are terribly stained. The bath tile in the shower had mildew. The outdoor furniture was filthy nobody would want to sit in it. The beds were old and bedding really used. Paint was peeling up on baseboards and walls and banged up and marked up. It was stuffing and smelled bad. We called on arrival and said we didn’t feel comfortable staying - the management said the property met their standards and there was nothing to be done - we left and paid for different accommodations- no refund - this was my first and last time ever using VRBO.

Great Location but not so Luxe
A bit of backdrop on me, I own short term vacation rentals so I always judge my stays v what I own. I will say this place was in an excellent location with a beautiful upstairs outdoor loft. But outside of that it wasn't so memorable. First off, the internet instructions provided were inaccurate and the internet was never fixed. We dealt with the internet our entire stay. Second, the dishwasher was broken. We notified Vacasa immediately and we were told they would send a service repair out. Never happened so we just wrote it off. Last but not least, there was a constant ant infestation and it only got worse. Once again, we notified Vacasa about the problem and they replied “Thank you for letting us know”. Basically did nothing about it. Noticed there was ant spray underneath the sink which to me means its a recurring problem. For the amount we paid, I would not recommend

Great Trip
The location of this property can’t be beat! It is within walking distance to a ton of restaurants, bars, wine tasting rooms, shops and the beach. The house was clean, well stocked with what we needed and layout was great for two families with babies. The check in process was easy and clear. We were a bit disappointed that they did not allow early check in. We called around 3 and asked about it and they said they would have told us if we could check in early. There was no one at the house cleaning or other reason we couldn’t check in they just said the door lock opens at 4 and there was no way to change it which just seemed like an excuse. The check in of 4pm and check out of 10am are later/earlier than most places and when you are paying so much it is disappointing. The only other complaint is parking. The house provides 1 spot in the garage and then the house instructions state to use street parking. Since this is such a great location, street parking when we arrived at 3pm was near impossible. In addition, a lot of spots were 90 minutes and others were no parking between 2am-6am. In the garage there are two spots available for the house but the instructions say only one spot. So we were forced to find street parking. No one used the other spot the whole weekend so not sure why it can’t be used. Overall, the house was perfect for what we needed. A little more clarification on Parking and letting people check in earlier than 4pm would be nice from the rental company.

beautiful stay
Mostly great. Unit had everything we needed, cupboards well marked, all features (showers, TV, kitchen etc) top grade. A few minor issues arose, but owner responsive to address where possible. Location fantastic. Items needing addressing: 1) wi-fi instructions incorrect, and we had to find and reboot router; @0 AC didn't seem to work but moot with fine weather; 3) Dishwasher didn't work would show error message "won't drain" even though water poured in did drain; 4) enter cyber system VERY annoying - 10 digits long (!) not much time to twist deadbolt before cancelling, very awkward to hold phone in one hand and enter 10 digits in dark hall and open before it cancelled. It usually took 2-4 tries to get in. I would think a 4 digit code (like I have on my house) would do the job. Annoying enough I might not stay there again even though rest of unit so nice.
