What an amazing little get away for visitors from LA or even from Santa Barbara! We loved all the little bites they provided and the great view.

10/10 Exceptional

Our second stay at this fabulous property. A lovely upscale place just off the 101, perfect when traveling but would love to spend a little time there. Close to Santa Barbara and Ventura with a lovely little town down the street with shops, coffee and a great restaurant. A must stay!

Anniversary staycation

We ended up here for a last minute staycation for our anniversary. Beautiful room, beautiful view. Friendly staff. Got upgraded to a breakfast and happy hour which you usually only get booking direct. My only complaint and it’s kind of a big one is our shower didn’t work…at all. Didn’t realize until late at night so didn’t want to bother staff. We let them know at check out and they said they would have someone look into it, but I was disappointed that there was no discount offered due to this. For almost $500 I expected to be able to take a shower. This is a lot of $$ for us and definitely a splurge, so it’s a bit disappointing. But that aside it was the perfect getaway.

Beautiful inn. The view of the ocean was stunning, the staff was friendly, the kitchen served an excellent breakfast and snacks, and overall we had a great time there. Amazingly comfortable bed!

Not in Santa Barbara!!

Nice hotel, ask for a room away from the freeway. We booked the hotel because the address was Santa Barbara but it was in Summerland!

Charming room! Miguel at check in was so kind. Breakfast was enjoyable. While propert and room was very clean and well kept

8/10 Very good

Great location within walking distance to some good food and stores. Only problem was when someone decided to take a bath at midnight. Very loud plumbing. Definitely it drowned out the freeway noise.
Darlene, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful stay here. The room was cute and clean and more than anything the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. We loved waking up in the morning and seeing the dolphins playing in the water. Close proximity to Montecito and Santa Barara was also a huge plus for us. Highly recommend.

Breakfast with staff cooking scrambled egg and bacon. Wine and cheese with crackers in the evening. Goodies served later. Ocean sound machine in room with fireplace. Fantastic B and B.

It’s in a small community with a 10 minute walk or three minute drive to anywhere in the town the beaches all of 15 minutes away if you walk maybe five minutes by car I’ve been in this town before but I’m staying and so far so good I haven’t checked out yet

Nice, cute small property in Summerland. Nice ocean views. Large rooms with balconies. Bathrooms are old. Freeway noise is loud.
David, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean, friendly staff, great location. They are trying a new system for breakfast and that needs some work.

8/10 Very good

I was very impressed by the friendly service, cleanliness and overall vibe of the place. I had only one issue and it was the sound of the traffic. Unfortunately, the cars went by all night and it was during the week. If your not looking for quiet then it is a lovely little gem.
Evelyn, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

We didn’t stay because it’s right next to the freeway and very noisy. We went somewhere else.
Lorna, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hospitality was great- Sofia and Natalie welcomed us and we’re very helpful with suggestions and offered us wine/cheese and then to come back later for desserts. Breakfast was good. Unfortunately we could hear the guests upstairs walking around which disturbed our sleep.
Carmen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cute, clean and convenient to Santa Barbara. Walking distance to some really nice shops. We walked each day to the Red Kettle Coffee which was great and dinner at The Nugget which was also nice. Overall, nice place however as others stated it’s right on highway so be prepared for that. noise didn’t bother us, they provide sound machine and earplugs if you need them
