About this property

Summary:

A king bed and a pull-out sofa sleep up to 4. Full kitchen with gas stove and Nespresso, hotel-grade linens, a living room with a sectional and 50"" TV, and fast WiFi. Free private parking. Shared courtyard with BBQ and string lights. Self check-in. Pets welcome."



The Space:

The building:

Surf Station is a small collection of private apartments in Santa Barbara’s West Beach neighborhood, managed by Maza Hospitality. Unit 1 is entirely your own — you won’t share a hallway, kitchen, or bath.



Sleeping:

Bedroom: king bed

Living room: sofa bed

Sleeps up to 4. All beds made up with hotel-grade linens and towels.



The space:

A fully renovated 1-bedroom tucked into a tropical courtyard, steps from the beach. Living room with a pull-out sofa and a 50" flat-screen TV, fast WiFi throughout, and a bathroom stocked with Public Goods products.



Kitchen:

Full kitchen, stocked for real cooking — gas stove, dishwasher, full-size fridge, and oven, plus cookware, bakeware, knives, utensils, plates, glassware, and coffee and wine glasses. Nespresso machine with a starter set of pods, plus a kettle. Salt, pepper, oil, and basic pantry staples on hand.



Shared courtyard:

Gas BBQ, picnic table, fountain, and overhead string lights, shared with the other Surf Station apartments.



Parking:

One free private parking spot is included — park once and walk everywhere. Street parking in West Beach is genuinely difficult, so this is a real perk.



Getting around:

Funk Zone tasting rooms and restaurants: ~5 min walk

West Beach and Stearns Wharf: ~10 min walk

Downtown / State Street: ~10 min walk

Amtrak Santa Barbara station: directly across the street

Once you’ve parked, you can leave the car for the weekend.



Check-in:

Self check-in by smart lock, after 4:00 PM. Checkout by 11:00 AM. We send door codes and directions on the day of arrival.



Pre-check-in:

After booking, we ask you to complete a quick pre check-in: a photo ID upload and a $1 security deposit hold. It takes about two minutes.



Good to know:

This is a lively, downtown-adjacent neighborhood. You’ll hear some city sound, including the occasional train — if you’re a light sleeper, bring earplugs. Please note: the units come with fans but do not have air conditioning. There are exterior security cameras on the property. None are inside the unit. Pets are welcome — there is a $75 pet fee for the stay.

Maximum 4 guests. No parties or events.



Us:

Maza Hospitality manages a small portfolio of properties across Santa Barbara and the Central Coast. Someone is reachable within the hour, every day.



Guest Access:

Guests will be able to access their individual apartment as well as the common courtyard and BBQ area, which includes outdoor picnic table, fountain, and overhead string lighting.



The Neighborhood:

The main couch had a large white stain, and the cleaning crew never came by as expected. Additionally, the extra fan arrived more than 3 hours after the scheduled drop-off time.
