The building:
Surf Station is a small collection of private apartments in Santa Barbara’s West Beach neighborhood, managed by Maza Hospitality. Unit 1 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, steps from the beach. Living room with a pull-out sofa and a 50" flat-screen TV, fast WiFi throughout, and a bathroom stocked with Public Goods products.
Kitchen:
Full kitchen, stocked for real cooking — gas stove, dishwasher, full-size fridge, and oven, plus cookware, bakeware, knives, utensils, plates, glassware, and coffee and wine glasses. Nespresso machine with a starter set of pods, plus a kettle. 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 is included — park once and walk everywhere. Street parking in West Beach is genuinely difficult, so this is a real perk.
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 by smart lock, 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.
Us:
Maza Hospitality manages a small portfolio of properties across Santa Barbara and the Central Coast. Someone is reachable within the hour, every day.
