New Self-Storage Facility

Welcome to Store it SB! We're excited to be the newest self-storage option serving downtown Santa Barbara and the Eastside, just steps from Milpas Street and a few blocks from State Street. The facility offers 200 units across more than 12,600 square feet of fully climate-controlled space, and every unit is on the ground floor — no stairs, no elevators, no exceptions — which means faster access for you and better protection for your belongings against Santa Barbara's coastal humidity and salt air. Add in ADA-accessible units, ceiling-height security partitions between every unit, and a team that actually knows what they're doing, and you've got a facility built around what actually makes storage easier to live with. And here's the best part: you're getting all of this from a locally owned facility being manged by West Coast Self-Storage, the most trusted name in storage since 2006.

Our Variety of Storage Unit Sizes

People need storage for a lot of reasons — downsizing from a Riviera or Mesa home, moving in or out of a downtown apartment, clearing out a Milpas Street storefront, or just making room for the surfboards and hiking gear. Whatever the reason, we've got a size that works. West Coast Self-Storage Santa Barbara offers 200 units across more than a dozen configurations, from small lockers up to large rooms — and every single one is indoor, ground-floor, and climate-controlled, so nothing you store here is exposed to stairs, elevators, or the outside air.

• 5x5 Storage Unit — Our most common size, and about the size of a walk-in closet. Good for boxes, seasonal items, or file storage for a nearby office.
• 5x10 Storage Unit — Fits the contents of a small studio or apartment, including boxes, small furniture, and kitchen items.
• 5x13 Storage Unit — Great for a one-bedroom apartment: a small dining set, couch, bikes, and seasonal gear.
• 10x10 Storage Unit — A popular mid-size pick. Handles a two-bedroom home's worth of furniture and appliances.
• 10x13 Storage Unit — Ideal for a two-to-three-bedroom home, or light commercial inventory storage for a Milpas or downtown business.
• 10x22 Storage Unit — Our largest standard room, and second most common size in the building. Room for the contents of a full house or a sizeable business inventory.

Built to a Higher Standard — By the Numbers

We could tell you this is a well-built facility, but the specs make a better case than we can: 200 units spread across more than 12,600 square feet of fully climate-controlled space, with finished hallway ceilings running 8 feet 4 inches throughout — well above what you'll find in a lot of older or converted storage buildings. Walls and partitions are engineered galvanized steel construction, not drywall, and every door — from individual unit roll-ups to ADA-accessible swing doors — is installed to current 2018 ADA code, including a 5-pound maximum force to open and close. These aren't rounded-off marketing numbers; they're pulled straight from the architectural plans for this building.

Storage for Your Milpas Street & Downtown Santa Barbara Business

If you run a restaurant, boutique, salon, or office along Milpas Street or in the downtown core, you already know how expensive every square foot of Santa Barbara real estate is. Storage lets you free up that space instead of paying premium rent to store extra inventory, seasonal decor, files, or equipment you only need part of the year. Every unit here is fully climate-controlled, which keeps sensitive stock — think wine, specialty food product, electronics, or paper records — protected from Santa Barbara's marine layer humidity, and month-to-month terms mean you're not locked into a long-term contract for something you might only need seasonally. Ground-floor, interior access also means no navigating stairs or elevators with a hand truck full of inventory.

Climate-Controlled Storage for Santa Barbara's Coastal Climate

Living this close to the water is one of the best things about Santa Barbara — it's also exactly why climate control matters more here than people realize. That coastal humidity and salt air that makes our winters so mild can also warp wood furniture, fog up electronics, and slowly damage a wine collection if it's sitting in a standard, uncontrolled unit. Every single unit at Store it SB is indoor and climate-controlled — not just a portion of the building — making it a smart choice for wine collections, musical instruments, art, family heirlooms, important documents, and anything else you'd rather not leave to the marine layer. Whether you're a Funk Zone wine club member with an overflow collection or you just don't want your guitar warping in a hot metal box, we've got a unit built for that.

What Sets Store it SB Apart

Our Location Makes Life Easier

We're right on East Canon Perdido Street on Santa Barbara's Eastside, just a few blocks from the State Street retail corridor and an easy walk from Milpas Street's restaurants and shops. Coming from the 101, it's a quick trip — take the Garden Street exit and you're on Canon Perdido within a couple of blocks. Whether you're coming from downtown, the Mesa, the Riviera, or Montecito, you're not driving out of your way to get to your unit.

All Ground-Floor, Fully Climate-Controlled — No Exceptions

Every one of our 200 units sits on the ground floor. No stairs, no elevators, no waiting for a lift when you're hauling a couch. And because the entire facility — hallways included — is climate-controlled, your belongings are protected from Santa Barbara's coastal humidity and salt air from the moment they come through the door. It's a simpler, faster, and more protective way to store than a multi-floor building where you're stuck navigating tight corners and elevators to reach your unit.

Security That Lets You Sleep at Night

You're trusting us with your stuff, and we built this facility to earn that trust. Security cameras monitor the building and grounds around the clock, and we use OpenTech Alliance's keypad access control and video monitoring system for secure, individual gate entry. The partition walls between units run all the way up to the structure overhead — not just to the top of the wall — so there's no gap for anyone to climb over between units. Add a fire sprinkler system, code-compliant fire extinguisher cabinets, individually keyed roll-up doors on every unit, and ADA-accessible units with compliant signage, and you've got security built into the construction, not just a camera bolted on afterward.
