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

Experience serenity at the Affordable Beach Penthouse #6 — a bright & airy hideaway nestled in the West Beach area. Soak up Santa Barbara’s dreamy weather, enjoy your morning coffee and bask in the sun on the private patio & terrace. Just steps from the ocean, Stearns Wharf, the Funk Zone, and lovely dining options, wineries and boutiques, this location offers the perfect blend of tranquility and convenience.

Our Affordable Beach Penthouse #6 shares an ambiance of modern elegance and coastal charm. The sun-soaked living room offers a 42” HD TV and flows effortlessly into the adjoining dining room and kitchen. Expansive windows invite natural light and picturesque skyline and mountain views into the space. Step outside to 2 private outdoor decks, complete with comfortable lounge seating and an electric BBQ, perfect for dining alfresco. As the sun sets over Santa Barbara, raise a glass of our complimentary champagne and toast to another perfect day.

The kitchen has been completed with high-end appliances that combine both style and functionality: a stainless steal oven, microwave, dishwasher and Calcutta stone countertops. A private washer & dryer are conveniently located in the closet off the living room, and air conditioning is provided for added comfort.

The romantic bedroom has an orthopedic king bed, ensuring ultimate relaxation, and French glass doors that open to a spacious, private terrace. The adjoining bathroom offers a shower/tub combination.

Perfect Cozy Home 2 blocks From the Beach

If you’re ok with the stairs (we were) this is a lovely, fully appointed home away from home in a super walkable location. Full kitchen, including dishwasher, very private patio space and a lovely mountain view of the SB Riviera. This cozy penthouse apt was very quiet and the bed comfortable (really lovely linens). Parking was a big plus. Communications with both the manager and the on-site manager were quick and responsive. Would stay here again!

Enjoyed our stay

We had a lovely time here. The view from the front window was fabulous. We never used the terrace because the window view was so perfect. The apartment was equipped with everything we needed. Melonie/Ally replied promptly to all our questions with great advice on restaurants and Wineries. Unit has air conditioning which is a must for us. Parking was also a plus. Couple of minor issues. Bed skirt was too long and I tripped a few times. Shower head needs replacement or to be cleaned. Overall excellent vacation rental.

Summer Getaway

This place is incredible. We vacation every summer on the Callifornia coast and this is the best. Location is great, two blocks to beach, restaurants, wharf etc. Great furnishings that are comfortable and higher quality. So much better than the more crowded beaches in southern California. We will return soon.

Smoke alarm would go off every time the shower was used, the view from the 2 porches is looking at a roof, the best view is out the front window. The brochures left for reading were out of date (2015). The balcony off the french doors had a screen but it didnt work when trying to pull into place and it was torn. Location was excellent and shower pressure was very nice!!

Santa Barbara Beauty

My partner and I arrived on the Fourth of July, and just as others have stated everything was absolutely perfect. As we entered the lovely wooden front door, I was pleasantly surprised at all of the beautiful views from all the windows, and how tastefully it was decorated, including high-end appliances and a great bottle of wine in fridge! The walk score was perfect, we enjoyed nearby restaurants and the fireworks at the wharf. The shower was one of the best I’ve had in awhile. We also enjoyed the patios, specifically the one off the Master. The designated parking space was a added bonus. We plan to return again.
