Baby Dux - Hip Hideaway on the Urban Wine Trail

Summary:
Sweet cocoon in the heart of fun, steps to beach, Funk Zone and restaurants. Baby Dux is an artist-designed, boho chic, STUDIO APARTMENT with comfortable queen-size SOFA BED ideal for one or two people, with KITCHENETTE: microwave, toaster, coffee maker, toaster oven, heat-induction hot plate, High Speed WiFi, HDTV, full bathroom, washer, dryer, AC, Heater, on-site parking for one car. The three rooms: living/bedroom, kitchenette and bathroom cover 260 square feet (24 square meters).

The Space:
Classy digs and a hip hideaway on the urban wine trail, In the heart of Santa Barbara's entertainment district. Baby Dux is a studio apartment in The Dux, a three apartment hotel. Experience enveloping luxury in this designer apartment in a classic craftsman house one block from the center of town and five walking blocks to the beach. Shopping, music, dance and excellent restaurants are just steps away. The apartment has exclusive use of the front porch and is completely private.

BEDDING: The elegantly designed corner bed couch is unusual. A drawer pulls out to convert it to a really comfortable, well-reviewed queen size bed with tempurpedic topper. The drawer stores the pillows. The armoire below the TV stores the mattress topper. Once the bedding is laid out, the pillows on the couch can be switched with the mattress topper to maximize space.

There is HD Digital TV and High Speed WiFi with a small table for those video calls plus a washer and dryer and paid on-site parking. BBQ on your porch, and use of the free bicycles for car-free, stress-free enjoyment.

The kitchenette is small and complete with a microwave, toaster, coffee maker, toaster oven and heat-induction hot plate. There is no stove top or traditional oven so if you plan to do some cooking, Mama Dux or Papa Dux are better choices with larger kitchens.

Relax and feel pampered in this thoughtfully designed and well-loved space. The apartment is one block from State St., 2 blocks from the 'Funk Zone' and five blocks from the beach. This is one of three apartments, so please understand this is not a good choice for loud late night partying. If you would like more room, then check out the other two one bedroom apartments in The 3 Dux: Mama Dux on the ground floor and Papa Dux on the second floor.

The house is on landscaped property with fruit trees, flowers, fountains and off street parking. Pick fresh fruit (oranges, plums and pineapple kiwi in season) and ride the free bicycles for a relaxing stay in the heart of Santa Barbara.

Coronavirus alert: Be assured that our staff are fully isolated and we are going to great lengths to sterilize all bedding and all surfaces between reservations.

Safe travels, stay well, and warm smiles..

Santa Barbara Cubby in the Garden
This location was so cute and totally comfortable!! They've thought of everything! The bed was easy, kitchen had everything one would need, bathroom was tiny but had everything and was just enough space all the same. The washer and dryer were so nice to have. The property and gardens were fantastic! Parking was a breeze. We slept super soundly even though during our stay construction was going on nearby. The location was the best! Debbie and her team have thought of everything and had a notebook of easy directions for all available in the unit and recommendations for nearby. I'd say it's great for one or two people. Thank u Debbie for a great first visit to Santa Barbara from Seattle! We hope to be back to Baby Dux soon!!

Cozy and close to State St.
We enjoyed walking and riding the bikes offered by the rental. We rode over 20 miles in 2 days on their cruiser type bikes. Check in was easy and the place was small, but just what we wanted . Santa Barbara is just beautiful.
