The room was really cute and I loved the bathroom. The tiles, the layout with the makeup corner. We were right on the beach and a short walk from everything.

This place will divide the crowd. For us the perfect location outweighed the downsides. You're a stone's throw from the pretty and relaxed beachfront of santa Barbara. The suite was huge with comfy beds. Well appointed kitchen. Personally I also liked the really rather wonderfully unkempt garden. It also boasts a hot tub and provides a front row seat for hummingbird viewing.
