"Prime West Beach location" New Owner. Simple and affordablle.

Welcome to your perfect West Beach getaway — now under brand new ownership as of 2026! This charming two level 1BR home is located in one of the most desirable, walkable neighborhoods in Santa Barbara. Just 1.5 blocks from West Beach and minutes from Stearns Wharf, State Street, and the Funk Zone, the location simply can’t be beat.

We’re excited to share that we are the new owners of this historic property and are already planning improvements to elevate comfort, style, and guest experience throughout 2026. From upgraded furnishings and refreshed interiors to enhanced outdoor spaces, this West Beach classic is entering a new chapter — and we can’t wait to welcome you.

We are proud to announce that this charming two level West Beach retreat has just been purchased by new owners who are committed to elevating the entire guest experience. BE AWARE: the bedroom is on the second floor (good and bad). Bad if you don't like steps, good if you like the quaintness to have your bedroom on the second floor.

To celebrate this transition, we are currently offering a 10% discount from previous owners listing — meaning guests booking now will pay below the rate that previous guests and reviewers paid. Please note: the unit is priced extremely low in terms of comparable units, but great value.

As we roll out improvements to furnishings, comfort, and overall design throughout 2026, please note that all existing reviews reflect the experience under the previous owners.

What remains unchanged is the unbeatable West Beach location: just 1.5 blocks from the sand, steps from Stearns Wharf, and walking distance to State Street, the Funk Zone, and Santa Barbara’s best dining and tasting rooms.
