Family Vaca Spot

Really great Inn. Very friendly staff. Comfortable, clean rooms. Great Valet service. Accommodates young kids, with a pool and easy beach access, and older folks (grandparents) with a better-than-decent restaurant for breakfast/lunch and dinner.

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely Incredible Service! Our experience was outstanding from the moment we arrived! Even before we got there, the staff sent a friendly text to check in—and they continued to stay in touch throughout our stay, always asking if we needed anything. It made us feel truly taken care of. The on-site restaurant was absolutely delicious, and to top it off, they even delivered waters to our room in the morning when I texted them. Every detail was thoughtful and the service was above and beyond. Highly recommend!

Great olace to stay and visit Sanra Barbara. We were so pleased that prolonged our stay at the Santa Barbara Inn.
