Nautical Breeze - Walk to Beach, Wharf, Downtown, & Funk Zone!

Nautical Breeze

Welcome to our charming downstairs two-bedroom, two-bathroom duplex located just three blocks from the beach and two blocks from downtown! Our home is the perfect place to relax and unwind on your vacation, with all the comforts of home.

The living room has beautiful natural light, a sectional couch and chair, a cozy fireplace, a Bistro table with three chairs, and a large TV for movie nights after a long sun-filled day at the beach!

The kitchen is well-appointed and has everything you need to create a delicious meal for your family. The dining table seats four, and the patio features a grill and additional seating, creating an indoor-outdoor Santa Barbara beach feel.

Both bedrooms are spacious with king beds, end tables, ceiling fans, plenty of closet space, beautiful new floors, and sliding doors out to a large enclosed patio shared by both rooms. One of the rooms has a large flat-screen TV, and each has a bathroom just outside the bedroom doors. The first bathroom has a shower/tub combo, and the second has a walk-in shower.

One of the best things about our duplex is its prime location. It's just a short walk to the beach, downtown, and the wharf, where you can enjoy all the local shops, fabulous restaurants, and attractions. Plus, our home is next to the Harbor at West Beach, where you can watch the boats come and go or walk to the famous Funk Zone to enjoy some of Santa Barbara's excellent wine-tasting rooms or tap rooms. Whatever your desires, you are sure to find them at Nautical Breeze!

The duplex has a laundry room, and with just one parking space (possibly two small cars, tandem style), you can leave your car behind and walk everywhere. So whether you're looking to hit the beach, explore the downtown area, or relax at home, our duplex has everything you need for a memorable vacation.

*This duplex is unit A, downstairs. Unit B is also available to rent. It is also a 2/2 and is called SEAbbatical. Please follow this link - https://www.vrbo.com/4251827?dateless=true

Cute rental, amazing location!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Nautical Breeze. The location was perfect, close walking distance to State Street, Funk Zone and the beach. The kitchen wasn’t as gourmet as we would have liked, but there were plenty of close eating places within walking distance.

In town for SBIFF

This was such a pleasant experience. Nautical Breeze was spotlessly clean, such a lovely property close to the beach and great shops/restaurants in the Funk Zone area. The street itself is pretty with trees and nice homes. The dedicated parking was appreciated. We loved being able to buy and cook food so we didn't have to eat every meal out. The beds are so comfy! My sister and I would love to stay here again sometime.

The rental is in a perfect location, easy to walk to the beach, marina, and Funk Zone. It is definitely dated, and the bedding and towels need to be replaced, but it is well maintained and a great place to stay. I would give an overall 4 1/2 (instead of 4) if that was an option.

Great Location....doesn't disappoint

We had a wonderful stay and if and when we come back to Santa Barbara, we will definitely consider staying here again. We walked most everywhere and restaurants, stores and beach was in close proximity. The place was very clean and we were happy to have had a washer and dryer in the place. Thanks again for hosting us. Sincerely, Christina

Do Not Rent

I think I’ve written one negative review in years of renting from online sites like VRBO. But I could not stay silent after this experience The photos make this property look much more modern than it actually is. In fact, it is quite dated. Moreover, upon arrival, we found one ceiling fan and light that didn’t work and one ceiling fan light that didn’t work. In one bedroom, there was a lot of sand on the floor, and even on the bed upon arrival, and this supposedly was after the house had been cleaned for a new guest. The lighting in the main living area is sub optimal. There is a little table desk area with a light in the corner and then a chair with a light over it in another corner, but there is no overhead lighting which makes the room very difficult to use. But the biggest problem is when we called multiple times to the realtor to discuss the issues with the ceiling fans and cleanliness we never received a call back . This would be fine if it occurred only once. However, we called three times, and upon departure, I sent an email and no call was ever returned, and no email has been answered The indifference and lack of customer service is simply unacceptable. No property is perfect and I would’ve been fine if the agent had been responsive to the slightest degree, but their failure to do so causes me to discourage anyone from being involved with them and their properties because you cannot trust that they will appropriately respond if you run into problems.

Summer respite

The location was fabulous. My son and daughter in law walked to venues in the evening while I stayed with my grandson. My only complaints are the bed had a wooden frame and creaked every time I moved and the living room furniture wasn't very comfortable. But I have severe back issues so it is difficult for me to get comfortable Both the outside areas were enjoyable especially for a 4 year old. Overall, the property was conveniently located and met our needs for our first time in Santa Barbie-a, as my grandson says.
