Ideal West Beach Location! Walk/Bike Everywhere! Rooftop Garden!

Renovated in 2010 and newly furnished, this unique sun-lit unit is part of a historic triplex in the desirable West Beach area. Your doorway is just 1-1/2-blocks from the sands and volleyball courts on West Beach near Stearn’s Wharf. The Funk Zone area only a block away and easy walking distance to downtown State St. shops and restaurants. Very close to the Amtrak station; no need for a car at all, especially if arriving by train! This is the IDEAL location for your Santa Barbara stay!

The only vacation rental we know of with its own rooftop garden, available for lounging, happy hours, special meals and fresh produce. Some guests say it is the highlight of their stay in Santa Barbara!

A single-level floor-plan, the entry Living Room is wonderfully lighted by a central skylite. It has a top-quality queen pull-out sofabed by American Upholstery for additional guests, and a 42' flat-screen HD-TV with HD-DirecTV and DVR-player. Also, a unique 400-movie LaserDisc collection with player and DVD-player.

A high-top dining table with two stools is served from a kitchen that has a full fridge, stove/oven, dishwasher, microwave, granite counters, and is outfitted with Cuisinart coffee-maker, toaster, & blender; includes basic cookware/dishware.

A more shaded bedroom has a super comfy plush-top queen-size bed with down duvet & pillows, a top-quality large dresser, and shower in a white-tiled bathroom. Resurrected original fir flooring runs throughout. A rear door opens to a creekside patio with century-old wall, and water birdlife.

The tile-floor bathroom has a shower only.

WiFi internet coverage is free. An extensive LaserDisc library is on site and a LD-player has been made available to guests by the owner.

Laundry facilities are on-site no-charge. Non-smokers only please.
Street parking in front readily available.
No pets.

**NOTE: UNIT 2 is our smallest apartment, most suitable for two guests. A second 2-level 1-BR unit in our triplex has been serving as a vacation rental since 2008. See vrbo #255189. A larger 1-BR unit, #512066, is spacious and our former home in the front of the triplex.
