Welcome to Casa Playa, a freestanding Spanish Colonial-style retreat in Santa Barbara's sought-after West Beach neighborhood—just moments from the sand, the Funk Zone, and Lower State Street. Currently fully licensed with the City of Santa Barbara and remitting Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), this property offers a rare opportunity to own a compliant short-term rental in one of the city's most vibrant destinations. Designed by Jeff Berkus and built in 2008 by Berkus Construction, Casa Playa is Platinum LEED and Green Home Certified. Thoughtful updates include wide-plank French oak floors, Caesarstone counters, custom cabinetry, stainless appliances, radiant floor heating powered by Rinnai tankless heater zone controls, and an EV charger for modern convenience. The flexible three-bed, three-bath layout provides privacy across two full suites. The entry-level suite features its own entrance and two patios, while the top-level suite showcases vaulted ceilings and a terrace with ocean, mountain, and red-tile-roof views. The main level centers around an open living area with fireplace, Juliette balcony, built-in BBQ, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
Additional highlights include a finished two-car garage with storage, laundry off the kitchen, and multiple outdoor living spaces. A strong rental history and detailed pro-forma are available to qualified buyers. Nestled on a tree-lined street in Yanonali Court, Casa Playa offers a sense of sanctuary while remaining steps from Santa Barbara's coastal lifestyle and with easy 101 freeway access.
