Secret Getaway — blocks to the Beach, Downtown State Street & Funk Zone

The Secret to the Secret Getaway is its location, quality and price. This elegant hideaway is for those who cherish serenity in a most sought after location. Situated in the Coveted West Beach area, you'll be steps from the beach, Stearns Wharf, the Vibrant Funk zone as well as world renowned dining and downtown shops.

During your stay, you’ll be lavished with all the amenities expected as part of a beautiful getaway: complimentary champagne upon arrival, bath essentials, high-end linens, private washer & dryer, a Nespresso machine complete with pods, creams and sugar as well as reserved parking which is rare in such close proximity to the beach.

Beautiful limestone floors, faux painting and ten feet ceilings give the space both a romantic and European feeling. The warmly and bright kitchen features granite counter tops and custom cabinets, as well all essential appliances and spices. The living room shares a Waterford fireplace, cozy couch and 55" HD TV.

The charming bedroom features a king bed and French glass doors which lead to the your own veranda, complete with a Bistro set, potted flowers and gas grill, and where you can dine alfresco and delight in the California sun. The accompanying bathroom is highlighted by custom stone work throughout, a built in Jacuzzi tub, spacious walk- in shower and Santa Barbara style cabinets, complemented with granite surfaces.

Our luxury beach getaways —in the Historical West Beach area— reside in a historical turn of the century building which retains the charm of the day’s bygone. The building has been lovingly restored to reflect Santa Barbara's ambiance, its array of apartments revealing both romantic and European styles. Our various spaces are complemented by luxurious details from Carrera marble surfaces, hand cast plaster, 10 feet vaulted ceilings and Waterford fireplaces.

Located in the heart of Santa Barbara, you’ll be steps from the beach and blocks from Stearn’s Wharf and the harbor, world renowned dining and downtown shops, as well as the Public Market and our own local farmer’s market. Close proximity to the vibrant Funk Zone also adds to the allure. This nook where the streets meet the ocean, was was one an industrial spot, but is now a flourishing space with lively and artistic locale. The benefit of nearby bike rental shops and the downtown Amtrak station further allows for easy transportation. As you’ll be located downtown, beautiful shops and restaurants lining State Street and nearby beaches and gardens are perfect for unwinding, whereas, nearby Channel Islands and wine country prompt adventurous day trips.

Nestled between the Santa Ynez Mountains and the Pacific Ocean on the Central Coast of California, Santa Barbara offers dreamy ocean panoramas paired with Spanish-style architecture. Santa Barbara is home to miles of stretching, sandy beaches. A few steps inland, and you’ll find a trove of blooming gardens, towering palms and lush parks. This gentle crescent of California coast, known as the American Riviera, connects breathtaking beaches, soaring mountains, verdant vineyards, elevated enclaves and eclectic communities.

WOW......Amazing!
We've been coming to SB for many, many years. Kids in college, married, grandchildren....you get the picture. Just when we were thinking maybe going back to staying in hotels, we found this place. It's so cool you don't really want too many people to know about it, but this is me, sharing good karma with you 'cause this place is an absolute find. Enjoy!

We could not be happier with the location. So close to the wharf, beaches, State street and great restaurants. The place has everything you can ask for and everything you need. The bathroom reminded us of our bathroom at the Four Seasons in Cairo, Egypt, in miniature.
