What a sweet spot!
We loved our stay here, what a sweet base to experience SB! The apartment has a wonderful boho esthetic that blends comfort and simplicity so well. We felt like we were in our own little Wes Anderson movie, the ritual of opening all the windows for air, and the simple pleasures of bringing back breakfast to enjoy on the front porch. It's so close to Funk Zone, downtown, and the beach we just left the car.

Loved our stay
What a wonderful and large comfortable studio. So many nice extra touches....coffee for our use, cold water, comfy bed, the box fan was perfect to keep cooler at night, so many lamps/lighting! Absolutely great location....we walked to everything. Also so quiet! Our only issue was trouble getting in the lock box to get key for front door...took many tries and then I could not get it closed either. We would love to come back!

Perfect location, perfect space
This was our second stay at this adorable place. It’s cozy, has all the amenities you need, the linens smell really clean and freshly washed, everything is clean. The bed and even the pullout are super comfy. The owners are really responsive and helpful. The location of this place is perfect for walking to the funk zone and state street. This will be our “go to” when we stay in SB. I love this place and can’t wait to come back.

About the host

Hosted by Erik Funke and Guusje Sellier

Host profile image
I'm a native Santa Barbarian who grew up in the triplex next door. This building was built in '96, the year our daughter was born. We raised her next door for the first five years of her life. The Studio had been leased out yearly and now we've made it into a vacation rental. We enjoy using it ourselves occasionally, when we want to escape from the Portland winters or play at the beach in the summers. We're looking
forward to sharing our 2nd home with you.

Why they chose this property

This West Beach property is in the heart of the Funk Zone. Best restaurants, wineries, Stearn's Wharf, yacht harbor all nearby. State Street trolley is 1/2 block away.

What makes this property unique

100 steps to the Pacific, with everything you could want in a beach get away. The BEST place to watch the 4th of July Fireworks!
