About this apartment rental

Welcome to the Exceptional Ocean Getaway—an idyllic hideaway situated in the heart of Santa Barbara. Just a stone's throw from the ocean, Stearns Wharf, the vibrant Funk Zone, and acclaimed dining and shops, our quintessential location adds to the allure.

The Exceptional Ocean Getaway is infused with warm, natural light and features elegant limestone surfaces, a spacious walk-in shower, and a Waterford fireplace that evoke a romantic European ambiance.

The fully-equipped kitchen is meticulously designed with high-end appliances including a Subzero refrigerator, Wolf cooktop stove, oven, dishwasher, microwave, and Nespresso machine, as well as a private washer & dryer. The dining room comfortably seats up to six guests, while the private enclosed courtyard offers two table and chair sets for alfresco dining.

The living room is an inviting gathering space, featuring exquisite hardwood floors, a queen sofa bed, a 55" HD TV, two luxurious Venetian chairs, an antique Louis XV desk, and a cozy Waterford fireplace that enhances its ambiance.

In the living room, French glass doors frame views of the courtyard and the enchanting Italian fountain. Bask in the sun and indlugle in the magic of Mediterranean-like weather in the spacious courtyard, offering a gas grill, and chaise lounge seating to dine alfresco and delight in local produce.

The king bedroom includes a 40” HD TV and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower. The queen bedroom has an adjacent bathroom with a shower/tub combination. Both bathrooms are newly renovated, featuring limestone floors, granite countertops, and custom Santa Barbara-style cabinets, adding to their beauty and functionality.

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

Kindly note that the Exceptional Ocean Getaway is located on the ground floor.

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.

We loved our stay here. We always stay in West Beach when we come to Santa Barbara and found this property to be perfect. It was easy to get in and out, the place was spotless, had what we needed to cook a couple of meals and was generally quiet and comfortable. The outdoor patio areas were lovely and my husband set up his “office” on the patio with the umbrella table. It was so peaceful and even though he had to work some, he still felt like he was on vacation. It was very easy to walk to the beach, loads of restaurants, State Street and of course, The Funk Zone. We would definitely stay here again.
