The Santa Barbara City Council has hired a team to sweep across the City and identify unpermitted Vacation Rentals. This offering is a Registered Santa Barbara City Vacation Rental and not subject to unexpected cancellation.
Downtown Coffee House is a Craftsman original 3 br home with sleeping to 8, and with 2 full baths to you. Located in the City of Santa Barbara on a cul de sac, there's ez walking to State St (4 blks) downtown and the beach (7 blks).
This 1905 home is upgraded with central heating & a modern kitchen, while retaining much of the original fittings and character of old SB. This sleeps 8 using the LR 's 2 couch single beds.

The Craftsman has 2 bathrooms; one with a shower serves the forward bedroom and also has a door to the living area. The master has a Jacuzzi tub in a private bath. The home posts as sleeping 8, which is 8 on beds and also the possibility of another using a good rollaway single kept in a closet. This home has 2 queens in the bedrooms and a trundle on the rear porch which is a single, or 2 singles with the trundle up when it then becomes a king.
In the living room the corner couch is comprised of two good quality solid beds. These are cot sized, meaning a narrow single, but these are genuine 8" mattress beds on real box springs. Thes 2 beds would make a queen if side by side. These have full bed linens and modern wheels with ez wheel locks to effortlessly move and lock them in place in the living room. More linens are also on hand.
This smaller period home is spacious for 4, comfortable for 6 and will feel small for more than 6. But the sleeping and utilitarian aspect can be stretched to 8. As mentioned, If you are being utilitarian there is also a roll away bed in a closet to sleep #9.
NOTE: We have neighbors who will not be happy with any guest group more than posted on your reservation, and they will document and report any abuse. Any plans for gatherings need to be specifically arranged with the host IN ADVANCE, and special daytime gatherings for anniversaries, wedding coordinating and reunion events, etc., can be approved. Otherwise fee's of $150 per person that come to the property can be assessed in our effort to avoid disturbing partys. Don't book those here! Police reports will be received and large deposit charges assessed, and you may be told to leave without further refunds. It will not work out trying to do that here. (thx ). However, happy plans, daytime only, to participate in wedding gatherings or sometimes a birthday, etc, can work out. We will likely discuss parking and things about the event.
The 3rd trundle bed is in a nice finished rear porch which is smaller than a normal bedroom, but adequate with a day bed and a closing door. The day bed is a real single bed and also has a pop up second single bed which aligns to make a king size area bed. This will use up the entire porch when open!, but these are real mattresses and the porch is very comfortable and airy. With the large living room bed-couch and an additional single rollaway bed in a closet, you can sleep up to 9. Two couples and children is a good use of this home. Three couples fit and will feel intimate. More than 6 is utilitarian and is allowed for you to have good value but will clearly be tight in this smaller home.
Smoking is not allowed in the home. Smoking is highly regulated in the City limits; not in buildings or within 20 feet of others. Smoking is allowed outside and elsewhere on this property, but not indoors.
We are pet owners and invite pets without upfront extra fee's. The floors are all hard surfaces and pretty much pet friendly. There is a fenced yard. If your pet causes visible soiling in the home there is an excellent vacuum in one of the closets to stay away from extra cleaning fees due to the pet. Using the yard for non-clipped nails pets and/or excitable pets will avoid possible damage. We do have a Pet Fee of $50 if we find beach sand or pet hair inside and any manner of pet waste which has been left for our crew to clean up inside or out. We want pet owners to have a NO COST option, however you must mitigate extra cleaning caused by any pet. Vacuuming pet hair and light mopping a rooms floor if needed is an owner responsibility to avoid charges. Using the fenced yard (see pictures) and limiting the pet time inside might be a good minimization for instance.
The TV has NetFlix and Amazon Prime paid. Hundreds and hundreds of movies, TV shows and children's shows. An antenna is also on for local stations to get local news and weather. There is no Cable.
NOTE: Air Conditioning is rarely needed in the beach town of Santa Barbara. However there will be 2-3 weeks a year that can become uncomfortable. We have added Air Conditioning to our rental, however it is a portable model kept in a closet, and requires rolling near the living room window and attaching the hose and fitted bracket to operate it.
You are 4.5 blocks off State Street and you are at block 700 of State at the intersection of Paseo Nuevo Mall and State. This means you are 9.5 blocks from Sterns Wharf, at the Ocean and State. Nightlife is in the 500-800 blocks of State.
There is a host of restaurants, clubs and shopping on State and you will be centrally located to enjoy many choices.
Cancellations that have been charged to credit cards will need to have the card fee's and other out of pockets costs deducted from the refund.
