THINGS TO KNOW
Although this unit is not equipped with air conditioning, it is rarely needed with the mild summer temperatures at the beach. A ceiling fan ensures a pleasant breeze.
Your beachside locale is half a block from the Amtrak rails, and passing trains may occasionally be heard.
This studio is part of an older historical building with multiple units, so guests may hear noises from adjacent units. Several other units are available in the same property for rent to accommodate a group. Inquire if you need to sleep more than four people.
The home is located near the train tracks (all Santa Barbara beachfront properties share this feature) and the 101 freeway. If you are sensitive to noise when you sleep, we recommend using the earplugs provided in each unit. While the noise doesn't bother most guests, we like to be transparent so there are no surprises.

Parking notes: There is free parking available for 1 vehicle.
This rental is located on floor 2.

Security camera details: In the parking lot, front door, and back deck




Due to local laws or HOA requirements, guests must be at least 21 years of age to book. Guests under 21 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian for the duration of the reservation.

Short walk to the beach. We walked to dinner on State Street, as well. Room was nice and had everything we needed for a comfy stay. There was a small heater and a small fan in the closet. There was a small bag of coffee that made enough for our two night stay.

All the photos use .5 lenses so it all looks bigger than it actually is in real life. There were nasty pee stains on the bed sheets, and dirty everywhere. It was unacceptable we could not stay here.

This was the perfect little room, walking distance to the beach (like 1 block, so nice)! The area is beautiful and neighborhood was safe. It had everything we needed including a mini fridge, toaster, coffee pot, desk, etc. I wish there were more eateries nearby - they are all about a mile walk except for 1-2 restaurants in the nearby hotels (we didn't have a car). The bed was comfy, I LOVED all the windows and natural light and beautiful views. It was perfect for my daughter and I as we were there for an Official Visit to Westmont College. Will stay here again if she ends up there!

Very nice rental

It was smaller than I thought, but was perfect for just me. It’s located very close to the beach and downtown pier and shops. The freeway traffic and train horn was not a big deal. I didn’t hear the freeway and only heard the train blow it’s horn a few times ( it was loud), but nothing after 10pm.

Short Walk to the Beach & More!

This studio is a perfect place for a couple to stay if you want to spend time at the beach or walk to restaurants and other nearby sights. The room was clean and comfortable. You can hear the train, but the horn is brief when it passes. The studio suited our needs perfectly.

Cute little room near the highway and the beach. Safety concerns with no inside the room lock and curled carpet corner is a trip hazard near the door and bathroom walkway. Also very smelly soaps and diffuser in the room. Bought my own unscented soap

A bit misleading

Good location, clean space. The room is very small, “studio” alluded to at least a little living space but this is a small bedroom. There is only a few feet around the bed in the room. I called to request early checkin & was told they would text me hourly before 4 pm to let me know if the room was ready. They never let me know and then when we left the cleaners arrived before our 10 am check out. 2 codes required, one is 10 digits long. In my opinion a hotel of comparable cost would provide more amenities, security and space.
