Tastefully remodeled and situated on its own private grounds, the cottage sits across the street from one of Santa Barbara's best beaches. With a tropical garden setting, modern amenities, and convenient proximity to the beach and Santa Barbara's State Street, a getaway at The Captain's Cottage is the quintessential Santa Barbara beachside experience. The Captain’s Cottage is a newly remodeled one-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage situated on its own beautiful tropical garden oasis that is directly across the street from one of Santa Barbara’s best beaches. Located on Santa Barbara's main beachfront thoroughfare Shoreline Dr. the cottage is a short 5-minute drive to State Street’s world-class restaurants and nightlife. Providing guests the opportunity to both enjoy being in the heart of all that Santa Barbara has to offer while having complete privacy and solitude. In addition to the Cottage, the property includes a detached “Lounge” with an office, workout gear, and entertainment area that can also be converted to a fold-out full-size sofa bed. For all plant lovers, the grounds have an extensive collection of plants, flowers, and fruit trees that you will certainly enjoy exploring. With peak-a-boo ocean views through the front window, a private hot tub, and many luxury focused amenities, guests will enjoy resort quality in an intimate setting. The Captain’s Cottage is unique in its location, quality, and the fact that the entire property is solely yours during your stay. Although the cottage itself is quite small (600 sqft), meticulous attention to detail has been maintained throughout the property’s extensive remodel, creating a seamless flow throughout the cottage while boasting all of the amenities of a much larger luxury property. With some of the best weather in the country, The Captain’s Cottage offers many spaces to enjoy indoor-outdoor living. We have a 6-person dining table on the back patio, an outdoor futon, chairs and umbrella on the front porch, a hammock in the front, and a great front and back lawn for kids or dogs to play on. Whether you simply want to make a cup of coffee or cook a gourmet date-night dinner, we view the kitchen as one of the shining jewels of the cottage. With stone countertops, beautiful kitchenware, and top-quality appliances, any time you spend in the kitchen will be a special treat. Next to the kitchen is an intimate breakfast nook perfect for two but quite tight (yet doable) for four adults. Being a tight space, the breakfast nook may not be a great fit for larger guests. To ensure your comfort, the cottage is outfitted with an adjustable Sleep Number queen-size mattress, quality linens, towels, soaps, and cleaned to the highest standards. We are confident the Captain’s Cottage is a perfect location for couples, small families, business travelers, solo-travelers, and small friend groups who want to enjoy a Santa Barbara getaway in an intimate, beachside setting. We look forward to your stay and hosting you for an unforgettable experience at the Captain’s Cottage! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Electric car charging station on site - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 3 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - 3 steps to reach entrance - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Gym ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Electric car charging station ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95980000/95975400/95975311/52c3ac9f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Dreamy Beach Cottage with Jacuzzi and Sauna~ Walk to the Beach & Park The Mesa - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 19 reviews CA $417 CA $674 total includes taxes & fees Oct 31 - Nov 1 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-31&endDate=2025-11-01&selected=95975311&PinnedHotelID=95975311&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83720000/83717600/83717582/eeac713b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Little Palm Cottage - Steps from Shoreline Park, walk to beach, live like a local The Mesa - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 49 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-21&endDate=2025-10-22&selected=83717582&PinnedHotelID=83717582&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117670000/117667700/117667636/eb92647b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Soul & Sea Guesthouse #7 ~ A Coastal California Stay on East Beach Santa Barbara Beach - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-21&endDate=2025-10-22&selected=117667636&PinnedHotelID=117667636&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101840000/101833600/101833508/ad812e1b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Santa Barbara Amazing City & Ocean View Lower Riviera - Ocean view - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 9.6 Exceptional 16 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-21&endDate=2025-10-22&selected=101833508&PinnedHotelID=101833508&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103900000/103900000/103899932/b03a3286.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury Beach Retreat - Enclosed Lot, Spa, 3 minute walk to Beach, Modern The Mesa - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 10 reviews CA $860 CA $1,451 total includes taxes & fees Oct 14 - Oct 15 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-14&endDate=2025-10-15&selected=103899932&PinnedHotelID=103899932&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112360000/112358300/112358266/ca7ce124.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2BR Coastal/Condo/Minutes 2 Beaches, Dining & Shops.Ocean Views & Sunsets!
