Coastal Breeze at West Beach

Coastal Breeze at West Beach

3 bedrooms · 2 bathrooms · Sleeps 6 · 5 stars (50 reviews)

West Beach is near Santa Barbara City College, the Harbor, and Stearn's Wharf. The surrounding neighborhood has always been iconic; its Spanish-style bungalows, small boutique hotels, outside eateries, and a tropical beach vibe draw visitors and locals year-round. Three miles of paved boardwalk make biking, jogging, and walking the chosen mode of transportation here. The beach is wide, the surf is gentle, and the views, well, they are spectacular as one might well expect! Coastal Breeze is a mere three blocks from having one's toes in the sand! 

Ascend the red tile staircase that leads to this second-floor unit; the entry terrace will prove to be a well-visited spot from sunrise to sunset. With its low profile sectional, sleek ceiling fans, and neutral color palette, the living room offers a modern perspective and comfortable seating space to relax or watch tv after a busy day of touring, working, or playing. 

With the newly renovated kitchen, every amenity has been stocked for even the most discerning chef. The red cast iron cookware adds a touch of whimsy to every meal. The round kitchen table beneath a sunny south-facing window seats four perfectly for a casual breakfast or coffee break, but don't rule out a romantic candlelit dinner for two, either! On warmer nights, the entry terrace picnic-style table is an alternate dining option, seating up to six under a shade umbrella. For added convenience, a stackable washer and dryer unit is also located in the kitchen. 

The primary bedroom features a king-size bed, flat screen tv, and a generous walk-in closet, which is especially handy for the long-term guest. Windows face the west, so a lovely glow will often penetrate the windows at sunset, adding a touch of warmth and ambiance to a lovely room.  Two other bedrooms complete the sleeping accommodations. The north bedroom next to the primary bedroom is the larger of the two. The room just off the living room is a bit cozier in size and has an open closet with shelves and hanging space to accommodate plenty of clothing, shoes, and personal belongings. Two side-by-side newly renovated bathrooms offer identical amenities with a pedestal sink, bathtub, and dual shower heads, one of which is a hand-held sprayer. This home offers a single portable AC unit in the living room which provides cooling features for this area of the home, fans are available in other rooms. 

Staying at Coastal Breeze is a fantastic starting point with a fresh perspective. It will seem effortless to partake in a wide variety of activities in Santa Barbara, especially those that revolve around sunny days on the beach, biking, paddling, sailing, or simply letting the warm sunshine soothe away the cares of the day. Locally owned markets are around the corner, and Chad's Cafe (a local's favorite!) is an absolute must for breakfast. Hang out with locals and visitors alike who flock to so many popular attractions; The Funk Zone, State Street Promenade, the MOXI, Shoreline Park, and the weekly Arts & Craft Show are all within a reasonable walking distance. 
Please note with its location in the hotel zone some normal street, and small business type noise could be expected, though overall the location is great for a coastal getaway in the heart of West Beach.

There is parking for one car in the driveway, and ample street parking. And, with boogie boards, beach chairs, and a beach umbrella, everything is provided to ensure a great day on the beach! So have fun, but don't forget the sunscreen! 

As final punctuation, Coastal Palm, a 3-bedroom, 2-bath townhouse unit, and Coastal Cabana, a 2-bedroom, 2-bath downstairs unit below, are also available as part of this newly renovated triplex.

Professional, friendly and proactive – the hosts did a fabulous job of making sure we were all set up with everything we needed. Easy walking distance to the beach, restaurants, etc. The unit was extremely clean, the beds were comfortable – we had a great stay.

Our family of five (parents and 3 young adults) had a terrific time! The place was exactly as advertised. The gentle coastal breeze (with just a few windows open) beat out any AC! The kitchen was well equipped. There was a grill on the deck, but as we were super close to a few restaurants and pubs, we didn't cook much besides simple breakfast. We were also within easy walking distance to the beach and the famous SB pier.

Loved our stay! The place was clean and comfortable. The condo layout was great for the 5 adults in our party. The easy walks to the Harbor and Sterns Wharf had us enjoying beautiful beach vistas and delicious cuisine. Would definitely stay again!

This property was great for walking distance to State Street and The Funk Zone. Plenty of street parking and the company was very responsive to our messages.

My friends and I were thrilled with this beautiful, remodeled property. It was in pristine condition, comfortably appointed, within walking distance of the beach/harbor/Stearns Wharf, and included free off-street parking. We appreciated that zip bags and food storage containers were offered in the kitchen; these are a rarity in vacation rentals. Unfortunately, it was unusually hot (for Santa Barbara) during our stay, but the unit did cool down sufficiently at night with the windows open.

Our stay was very comfortable. I appreciated how well stocked the AirBnB was, especially in the kitchen (dishes, pans, small appliances). The location was very walkable to all of the sights we wanted to see in Santa Barbara.

Apartment was super clean and neat. Well appointed..furniture and decor were lovely. Beds were heavenly. Lots of extras in the apartment, eg, a small flashlight for each bedroom, lots of towels, etc. Very comfortable stay for the three of us.

We had everything we needed. The place was decorated beautifully. I loved all the little touches-makeup remover and a special makeup towel and toiletries provided and all the wonderful ceiling fans. The location was perfect too!
