About this property

Surf Station #3 | 1BR Walk to Beach & Funk Zone

Summary:

Surf Station #3 is a fully renovated 1-bedroom tucked into a tropical courtyard in West Beach, Santa Barbar — walk to the sand, Stearns Wharf, and the Funk Zone’s tasting rooms. A king bed and a sofa bed sleep up to 4. Full kitchen with Nespresso, hotel-grade linens, a living room with a comfy sofa and 48" TV, and fast WiFi throughout. Free private parking. Shared courtyard with BBQ and string lights. Self check-in. Pets welcome.



The Space:

The building:

Surf Station is a small collection of private apartments in Santa Barbara’s West Beach neighborhood, managed by Maza Hospitality. Unit 3 is entirely your own — you won’t share a hallway, kitchen, or bath.



Sleeping:

Bedroom: king bed

Living room: sofa bed

Sleeps up to 4. All beds made up with hotel-grade linens and towels.



The space:

A fully renovated 1-bedroom tucked into a tropical courtyard. Living room with a comfy sofa and a 48" flatscreen TV, with fast WiFi throughout. Bathroom stocked with Public Goods products.



Kitchen:

Full kitchen, stocked for real cooking — cookware, bakeware, knives, utensils, plates, glassware, coffee and wine glasses. Nespresso machine with a starter set of pods, plus a kettle. Dishwasher, full-size fridge, oven, and stovetop. Salt, pepper, oil, and basic pantry staples on hand.



Shared courtyard:

Gas BBQ, picnic table, fountain, and overhead string lights, shared with the other Surf Station apartments.



Parking:

One free private parking spot behind the building is included — a real perk in this walkable beach neighborhood, where street parking is genuinely difficult.



Getting around:

Funk Zone tasting rooms and restaurants: ~5 min walk

West Beach and Stearns Wharf: ~10 min walk

Downtown / State Street: ~10 min walk

Amtrak Santa Barbara station: directly across the street

Once you’ve parked, you can leave the car for the weekend.



Check-in:

Self check-in after 4:00 PM. Checkout by 11:00 AM. We send door codes and directions on the day of arrival.



Pre-check-in:

After booking, we ask you to complete a quick pre check-in: a photo ID upload and a $1 security deposit hold. It takes about two minutes.



Good to know:

This is a lively, downtown-adjacent neighborhood. You’ll hear some city sound, including the occasional train — if you’re a light sleeper, bring earplugs. Please note: the units come with fans but do not have air conditioning. There are exterior security cameras on the property. None are inside the unit. Pets are welcome — there is a $75 pet fee for the stay. Maximum 4 guests. No parties or events.
