"This tiny house was perfect for our weekend getaway. It was definitely a tiny house but had everything we needed for the weekend and very comfortable. Highly recommend if you're looking to stay somewhere far enough from the city to feel like you're on retreat, but close enough to enjoy a night out. "

"If you are looking for a nice, clean, and calm place to stay with great affordability, look no further. The hummingbird suite, situated near the coast of Santa Barbara, offers great privacy and easy access to downtown. The host are very friendly and made sure I had everything I need during my stay. My girlfriend and I are very particular individuals and this suite was clean! The outdoor patio is perfect for a morning coffee/cup of tea while enjoying the sounds of nature. As a first time visitor...

Mama Dux - A Sumptuous Urban Sanctuary | Garden view

"Staff and property were excellent. Location and amenities were fantastic! Space was a little tight in the Baby Dux but was acceptable. I would stay there again or recommend it to anyone. "

"Great little spot walking distance to the beach. Close to everything:)"

"We stayed at cottage for 4 nights and had a great experience. Place is located walking distance everywhere. "

"Close proximity to downtown Santa Barbara and especially the area of State St. where most of the activities are. Home is an older home that has been updated and provides more seclusion than a hotel. Full refrigerator and kitchen and two bathrooms help when multiple occupants are trying to get ready at the same time. I would definitely use it again and owner is very accommodating!"

Motel 6 Santa Barbara, CA - Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Hidden gem! "

West Beach Inn, a Coast Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The front desk guy (with glasses can’t remember his name) was very nice and helpfu with his recommendations around the area and with my luggage. He was able to correct my room accommodation made through Expedia. The only thing I didn’t like was that our room was not clean by housekeeping. I was even asked at the front desk( and was even noted) if I want our room to be cleaned. The property location was excellent with a beautiful view of the harbor. Would stay here again."

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Brisas del Mar Inn. The accomodations were wonderful and included a small kitchen and living room/dining room area. Location was only a short walking distance to the harbor, and parking was always available in front of our room. What took it over the top was the daily breakfasts and the afternoon cheese and wine. It was a great way to start and end our day and we really appreciated it. Service was always with a smile too. Will definitely come again!"
