    It was a family owned property, very unique and you could feel the love and care they put in it. It’s not “one more amongst others”. It’s different. Very peaceful and relaxing

    It’s right beside the beach and a short walk to the funk zone. The pool was nice with gazebos provided for shade.

    We booked a family suite as we had 2 adult kids with us. It worked perfectly and avoided all sharing one room. Room was clean and comfortable and we had a great view of the beach. Loved the fire pits for chilling out in the evening. Pool was small but well serviced with sun loungers etc. The hotel offered bikes for touring around. Loved Santa Barbara and would definitely go back.
