Great location by the beach!

Cute upstairs unit in a triplex conveniently located across the street at West Beach and surrounded by the Hotel Milo. Beds were very comfortable and unit was nicely appointed. Loved the balcony with the peek-a-boo view of the harbor.

West Beach Home, Almost On The Sand

Well thought out floor plan & comfortable furniture make you feel at home. Easy walking distance to the beach & several good restaurants for those times you aren't in the mood to cook. Close access to freeway & other main roads make it easy to get to hiking trails & good bike rental shops.

A fantastic place to stay in Santa Barbara

The Lookout at West Beach is a beautiful property, finished and decorated to a very high standard. It's location is perfect for exploring Santa Barbara and the wider area and it had everything we needed for a super vacation. It was immaculately clean when we arrived and it was very easy to deal with the property agent. Should we ever return to the area, we'd definitely stay there again.

Lookout

Lookout at West Beach was a fabulous stay. The apartment was just perfectly located near restaurants and shops, close enough to bike everywhere with the provided bikes. Everything one could possibly need was available should one want to cook or BBQ with the fully stocked kitchen. Comfy beds, fully stocked kitchen, lots of towels including beach towels. 2 minute walk to beach, 5 minutes to State Street. Well recommended - probably the best short term rental we have stayed in!
