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!
