Luxury Beach Studio — 2 blocks to the Beach and Funk Zone

Experience the allure of the Luxury Beach Studio #12, where contemporary sophistication meets upscale details. Set in the picturesque West Beach area, you’ll be just moments from the ocean, Stearns Wharf, the harbor, and incredible dining and boutiques in downtown Santa Barbara. Spend your days basking in the sun, visiting local art galleries and wineries, and exploring the Funk Zone.

Please keep in mind this studio is for 1 guest only and is located on the 2nd floor (Walk-up).



Designed for solo travelers, the studio showcases modern design with high-end finishes throughout. The interior boasts a full bed, a stylish high-top dining table, and an L-shaped couch (not pictured). The newly renovated bathroom features a walk-in shower and accent tiles inspired by the rich aesthetics of Andalusia, Spain. The kitchen is equipped with sleek European appliances, including a stainless steel oven, microwave, and dishwasher, all complemented by elegant Calcutta stone countertops.

Soak up the sun and enjoy Santa Barbara’s dreamy weather on the private deck, offering a gas grill, chaise lounge, and bistro set — perfect for enjoying your morning coffee and dining alfresco.

Thoughtful touches are included to make the most of your visit: complimentary champagne to toast your arrival, bath essentials, high-end linens, and a Nespresso machine complete with pods, creams and sugars. A quarter-operated washer and dryer is provided in the downstairs basement in the building complex.

For those seeking the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation, the Luxury Beach Studio #12 offers effortless access to Santa Barbara’s most beloved attractions. Spend your days soaking up the sun, indulging in local cuisine and happy hour margaritas at Santo Mezcal, or unwinding on the private patio—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 boutique-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.

Perfectly Met My Needs

This property was beautiful. Updated, clean, modern and fresh. The area was safe and the building was secure. The location was perfect as it is walking distance from the beach and oceanfront restaurants as well as the State Street shopping and restaurant district. I wish that a couple were allowed to stay rather than just one person for the future. While it is small, it would be fine for two people who like each other :-)

Cute Studio Close to the Beach

This place was super cute, modern, and clean in a great location. It had everything I needed to stay comfortably. The only feedback I’d offer is that the complex this apartment is in is very confusing, with multiple entrance gates and no signage. It would help to send a map along with the entry instructions. Other than that, it was a great place for one person to stay!

Beautiful little studio for one person

I can for a week to work remotely. I should have looked carefully at the photos before I booked because there is no table nor any chairs. There is a kitchen island with one bar stool as the only seating (other than a sofa). It was miserable on my back to work from a bar stool for a week. This is not a flaw with the apartment, just warning you if you’re planning to work remotely. I had to use the bar stool as my coffee table, since there isn’t one, yet there is a fairly large faux plant where a small coffee table should be. The kitchen is nice, but missing basics. It’s good for simple meals or reheating, but not for cooking a frozen pizza (no cookie sheet) or for anything that requires a measurement (no measuring cups). The bathroom is very clean, but astonishingly tiny—only one person at a time would fit. Overall, it’s a very beautiful, new and modern space that’s close to downtown and very quiet. It would be cramped for more than one person for more than a night or two, and probably best for shorter stays rather than a week or more. The deck and large windows are lovely!

Super clean and reliable. I like staying here for running on the beach in the early mornings and the wifi is consistent for work needs at night and in the morning. Super quiet street and I rarely hear other people in other suites.

The studio is beautifully appointed and in a great location. Some of the occupants in other units were a bit noisy but that's to be expected (I think they were part of a wedding party). Good news is that everything was quiet overnight. I also easily found parking on the street.

Charming Santa Barbara Apartment

This property was more than I could have imagined! The unit was adorably appointed with friendly touches like a bottle of champagne in the fridge and a well stocked Nepresso machine. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen table doubled as a work station during my stay. The bathroom has a rain shower, which was a luxury. The unit is small, so the balcony was an added bonus with a chaise lounge, a small table and 2 chairs where I enjoyed my morning coffee. Just a few blocks to the beach and great restaurants, I highly recommend this unit! You do have to walk up 2 flights of stairs, so be prepared if you have heavy suitcases. I highly recommend this charming oasis in Santa Barbara!!
