West Beach Villa 3 - well-loved, historic property featured in books, magazines - walk to beach!

Welcome to West Beach Villa 3!

Experience the best of Santa Barbara in this iconic, historic property! With its amazing restoration and outstanding time period construction featured in numerous magazines and books, you will feel right at home with many resort-like amenities. Nestled among West Beach's most sought after neighborhoods, this one bedroom villa boasts plenty of space in the living area with queen murphy bed, dining room & private outside patio along with laundry facilities to make your stay terrific. This beautiful villa has been professionally interior designed to capture the 1930's and 1940's unique style while using local treasures so all guests can enjoy unwinding while taking pleasure from their private oasis. Take a trip back in history and experience this gorgeous villa built in 1937!

West Beach is an unbeatable location much like the center of a wagon wheel, with the beach, the harbor, activities, festivals, restaurants, bars, train station, State Street, The Funk Zone and cafes stretching out in all directions. No need for a car when you stay at one of these villas, everything is a short walk or bike ride away.

Stroll to the beach with a wagon full of everything needed for a restful (or sandcastle building) day on our beautiful coast and return in the afternoon for games with family and friends while cooking dinner in a well-appointed kitchen. Every amenity has been well thought out and is provided to all of our guests to ensure a wonderful dining experience whether it's a dinner in with family or a few friends have stopped in for appetizers and drinks. Every attention to detail has been made on your behalf.

All linens, cookware and supplies are provided to all of our guests, all of the time.

Loved the Villa
Villa was very clean and comfortable. Location was great. We brought bicycles and getting to the pier and Harbor was so easy. Also rode all the way up State Street to see the sights and restaurants. Would stay here again.

Great location
We enjoyed staying at this property - it is within easy walking distance of the waterfront and funk zone. It is also within walking distance of State Street (shopping, restaurants), but a little longer walk. This was my first visit to Santa Barbara and this was a great place to stay. For my spouse and I, we had plenty of room to move about, work, and enjoy the property. The hosts left lots of instructions on the use of the property that were very helpful.

Terrific Stay
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay - the bungalow was very comfortable and convenient to the ocean, wharf, restaurants and all activities we desired in Santa Barbara. I found the description completely accurate and ease of use A+. We’ll stay here next time if it’s available.

Very nice bungalow tucked away in a quiet neighborhood just a short walk to the beach
House was very clean and nicely appointed. Very well situated to get to everything in Santa Barbara easily. Great for a couple or small family. Bed and trundle very comfortable. Parking for one car only. Owner very responsive and easy to deal with. Walking distance from SBCC. Will rent there again.

Excellent Santa Barbara Home
This house is absolutely lovely. We wish we could have stayed longer. It was exactly as described in the listing, if not better. It exceeded our expectations. It was in a charming neighborhood, close to restaurants, shops, the beach, and the train station, which was great as we arrived by train from LA. It was well-stocked with beach gear, which we used every day. The back patio was peaceful and we enjoyed sitting out in the evenings. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

girls weekend
Great location and charming home. The only downside was the internet service, which was quite poor. If internet had been something we had urgently needed, it would have been a true problem. Because we were taking a weekend away and were less in need of our devices, it posed more of an inconvenience but may be an issue for other/future users of this property.

Lovely house in great location
This was a lovely house in a great location just a few blocks from the beach. Everything was clean and in good condition. The only thing that the listing didnt mention is that this is actually a duplex. The walls are thin and you can hear everything the neighbors are doing, even just walking around. It made it a bit tricky with a newborn and making sure nightime was quiet. Other than that, the property was wonderful.

Great location for family visit!
This house was the perfect size and location for our week-long stay with 2 adults and a toddler. Very clean and had everything we needed (extra linens, towels, kitchen utensils, etc). Liked that we were able to park in the driveway. Easy walk to multiple beaches, restaurants, and children's museum. Appreciated the included wagon with beach chairs, toys, umbrella, etc for daily beach trips. Great patio for lounging and eating our meals. Would definitely stay here again!

Very Clean and Accurate Listing
Property was incredibly clean and matched exactly with what the listing stated. Instructions for check-in and check-out were clear and easy to follow. Bed was comfortable and bedroom was quiet making sleeping very comfortable. Unit was equipped with high chair, pack and play, and beach towels making traveling with a toddler very easy. Had one question for the owner that I sent through VRBO that I never got a response from - in the confirmation email there is another mode to contact them, recommend using that instead of going through VRBO.
