About the property

Ideally located for a coastal getaway, the Santa Cruz Suite offers a delightful second-floor perch, only a couple minutes' walk from the famous shores of sun-drenched East Beach. In a small oceanside complex, amenities include a sunny communal area with outdoor dining tables, lounge chairs, benches, and a barbeque grill. Your vacation rental is just one block from the golden sands of stunning East Beach, a block from the waterfront shuttle, and a bike path along the beachfront. Enjoy the laid-back vibe in downtown Santa Barbara, and head the same distance to Stearns Wharf for shopping, dining, fishing, or simply enjoying the salty breeze and incredible ocean views. This home is walkable to tasting sessions at Sanguis Winery, and local shops and eateries are even closer. A wall of windows floods the sitting area with natural light. A decorative electric fireplace adds a tranquil ambience. A twin daybed with a twin trundle below can be used for additional sleeping space. The unit includes a mini-refrigerator and freezer, microwave, and coffee maker. French doors lead into the bedroom, where a California king bed lets you sleep like royalty. A comfy armchair offers a pleasant spot to read, and a 32-inch TV awaits for movie nights. Things to Know This vacation home is part of an older historical building, and noise may be heard from adjacent units. This home is located near the train tracks (all Santa Barbara beachfront property shares this feature) and the 101 freeway. Earplugs are provided for those sensitive to noise while sleeping. Although this home 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. Elevators are not available.

Great location. Perfect for adults and teens. Like a step up from a hotel room. Loved being near the beach. Noise was not disruptive.

We enjoyed our stay in this apartment! so near to the beach, and in a cute little neighborhood! The listed concern about extra noise from the train and the freeway was not valid as we were unbothered. I think we only heard the train one time all weekend. the kitchen area was very small but we were aware of that and were happy we could make coffee before heading out for the day. Thank you

This location is a win for me. You can easily walk to the beach. It's right next to an amazing restaurant, Convivo. Very quiet street with only the noise of an occasional train. The building feels almost like a dorm with one entry that leads to multiple units in a hallway. Our unit "Santa Cruz" was just as described and actually felt rommier then I was expecting. We were only going to be there to change and sleep so we didn't need any extra frills.

We loved our stay. The accommodations are exactly like the photos. The beds were comfortable and we loved the natural light. The location was excellent, just a five minute walk to the beach and beach front restaurants. We rented this Airbnb to visit UCSB and it is just a short and easy drive from UCSB. Everything worked out great and we really enjoyed our visit. Also, the jacuzzi bath tub was a fun surprise! Highly recommend!

This property is great! Right by the beach it's literally a down the street and was not too far from downtown. The room itself was also perfect for what we needed everything was clean and the beds were comfortable as well. Super cute place, would recommend if you're looking to explore Santa Barbara!

This place is a super cute little vintage Santa Barbara spot. The location is amazing. Super quick walk to the beach. If you are motivated and will for a longer walk, you can walk to the pier and lower State Street. It’s important to note that this place is old Santa Barbara architecture, which we found charming, but don’t expect high end and modern. The unit is cozy and comfortable and we had plenty of room for a family of 4.

What a gem! Perfect location to walk to the beach and close to bike rentals. Didn’t have to drive for our entire stay! Wish we had a bit more flexibility for an earlier check in, asked for 3 instead of 4. But overall everything was wonderful. Such a good value for a family of 4. Hope to be back soon!
