1 Bedroom Apartment in West Beach, Santa Barbara

Escape to Rare Beach Penthouse #5—a serene, romantic retreat just moments from the shore. Bask in Santa Barbara’s dreamy weather as you sip your morning coffee, or toast the sunset with a glass of complimentary champagne on your private, sunlit patio.
Blending coastal tranquility with city convenience, the residence is only steps from the ocean, Stearns Wharf, and the vibrant Funk Zone—home to Santa Barbara’s most celebrated dining, art galleries, wine tasting rooms, and boutiques.
The interiors exude timeless elegance and European romance. Granite countertops, limestone floors, and custom Santa Barbara–style cabinetry define a warm, inviting kitchen fully equipped with culinary essentials—including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Nespresso machine, stove, oven, dishwasher, and microwave.
The cozy queen bedroom is paired with a full bathroom featuring a romantic limestone shower with dual shower heads and sleek granite countertops. An in-unit washer and dryer make beach days and extended stays effortless, while central air conditioning ensures year-round comfort.
Generous windows bathe the living area in natural light and showcase sweeping skyline and mountain views. Evenings invite you to the private patio, where a dining area, chaise lounges, and a gas BBQ await—perfect for alfresco meals under the stars or leisurely lounging in the Santa Barbara sun.
Kindly note this unit is on the third floor (walk-up).
Thoughtful touches elevate every moment of your stay: complimentary champagne upon arrival, bath essentials, high-end linens, a private washer and dryer, air conditioning, and a fully stocked Nespresso machine with pods, cream, and sugar. Reserved parking—a rare amenity near the beach—adds an extra layer of ease.
With effortless access to West beach and Santa Barbara’s most beloved attractions, the Rare Beach Penthouse #5 offers the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.

Summary: Adorable little condo, great location, clean and comfortable. Safe location with your own parking space. My only complaint and it isn’t really a complaint is to be prepared to take your own kitchen condiments ie: salt and pepper etc. However small grocery store within walking distance too.
