The location was perfect! It was in the heart of downtown. Walking distance to the malls and restaurants. Also walking to the boardwalk and wharf. The bed was very comfortable and the amenities were complete.

I absolutely loved my stay at Casa Jardin! The place was spotless and beautifully designed—modern, fresh, and super comfortable. I really appreciated the keyless entry using the last 4 digits of my phone number, which made check-in and out so easy. The in-room espresso machine and kettle were perfect touches, and I loved that they provided natural tar remover pads—so thoughtful for Santa Barbara’s beaches! 10/10—can’t wait to stay here again!

Pryanka and Visal are the best hosts. They addressed any issue that hapened (including helping me out in the evening after I looked myself outside😳) I recommend the Cozy & Private Room which was the best place for my needs.
