Welcome to the Secret Getaway #8, where seaside serenity meets European elegance. Located in the heart of Santa Barbara this elegant space blends coastal tranquility and city convenience.



Nestled in the coveted West Beach, our building is just moments from the ocean, pier, harbor, and boutique shops and renowned restaurants lining downtown SB — spend your days soaking up the sun, discovering local art galleries & wineries, and wandering through the Funk Zone — all just steps from your door.



Chic limestone floors, faux paint finishes, and lofty ten-foot ceilings lend the interiors a timeless and elegant charm. The kitchen is warm and inviting, complete with a granite-topped dining island and essential appliances for effortless meals. The living area is thoughtfully furnished with a plush sofa, TV, and a Waterford fireplace—bringing refinement to your cozy evenings in.



Step into a serene king bedroom where French doors open to private veranda with a gas grill and bistro table—perfect for morning coffee or sunset dining.



The adjoining bathroom features a spacious walk-in shower, granite finishes, and a soaking / jacuzzi tub—perfect for unwinding after a day at the beach.



To elevate your stay, enjoy thoughtful touches throughout: a bottle of champagne to toast your arrival, bath essentials, high-end linens, a private washer/dryer, and a Nespresso machine stocked with pods, cream, and sugar. Reserved parking is included—a rare perk so close to the beach.



With effortless access to the beach and Santa Barbara’s most beloved attractions, the Secret Getaway #8 is perfect for both adventure and relaxation. Spend your days soaking up the sun, indulging in local cuisine, cheersing with happy hour cocktails in the Funk Zone, or savoring quiet moments with loved ones—all while immersed in the beauty of the California coast. Just steps away, the vibrant Funk Zone adds to the charm. This nook where the streets meet the ocean, is a beautiful little area with art galleries, wine tasting rooms, and lively eateries. Convenient bike rentals and the nearby Amtrak station make exploring even easier, whether you're strolling down State Street’s store-lined promenade or setting off on an unforgettable day trip to the Channel Islands or Santa Ynez wine country. Whether seeking tranquility or excitement, this prime location ensures a memorable getaway you'll want to relive again and again.



Our building is fully licensed for short-term rentals and located within the Santa Barbara Coastal Zone, where stays under 30 days are allowed. Many other listings in the city fall outside this zone and are not legally permitted to offer short-term stays—so hosts might decline your booking request to avoid violations. We, on the other hand, automatically confirm your reservation the moment you book. It’s a seamless, stress-free option for a quick coastal getaway, making us the perfect choice for your Santa Barbara stay.

    Luv'd this property, a litte frustrated with finding room, but once found all was well... My 1 issue was the heating of bed room, heater in room is inoperable and we had to wait for living room to heat up by fireplace before we could get comfortable, shower and tub are wonderful... Thank you again..!!!

    We were given clear instructions and a property manager was available for any needs. Our unit was clean, well-equipped, and exactly as described. It was also strategically located. All the shops and restaurants we wanted to visit were within walking distance. We had good sleep here, as it's a quiet neighborhood and there sufficient soundproofing so we didn't hear our upstairs neighbors at all.

    The title is accurate in that this property was close to the beach, downtown, and The Funk Zone, which made walking to/from just about any destination very accessible in this pedestrian-friendly area. The place is nicely appointed and furnished with a motif matching that of SB. The building layout, design, and security is a plus as we had no concerns whatsoever. Our host was always very responsive to messaging whenever we had a question or needed information. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come here again!

    My girlfriend and I stay at this property at least two times a year. It is close to the beach, and a walk takes maybe 10 minutes—if that. The property is clean, safe, and a great romantic getaway. We will stay here again.

    This place is nicely done, small but high end. The Livingroom has a nice plush couch and big screen TV, a gas light up fireplace which was really nice since it was cold when we were there. A big kitchen and a master with a comfy king bed, small walk in closet and a stack unit washer and dryer. The bathroom is beautiful with a soaker tub, Italian sculpture, big mirrors and walk in shower. We loved how it was small but had a luxurious feel. We'd love to stay here again! Great location for walking everywhere and it feels safe with coded gates around the property. A

    We had a great time at the Secret Getaway. I was in town with my daughter and it was perfect for both of us. The kitchen was great as well. It was a large spacious bathroom and good closet space. It was a great find. I definitely recommend this place.

    What can I not say about this wonderful little gem. From the time we stepped into the gate from the outside we were charmed with the vibrant colors and decor. The doors were a beautiful portal into what became my girlfriend and I’s oasis of a getaway that we needed. The accommodations were very nice, the bed was so comfortable and everything is literally 16 - 20 minute walk away. We never once used our car to explore due to the central location of this beautiful little paradise. We will definitely be using this gorgeous escape again in the future! Thank you Melanie for providing such a wonderful experience!
