Beach vacay with a couple friends. Owner bragged how how lucky we were she didn’t charge more ($300 a night), and how the cleaning crew disinfects the rooms with “Ozone sterilization” and “UV-C lamp”. So our bar was high.

GOOD:  
Location near beach and lower State Street.
Fireplace in the bedroom and living room was great! 

NOT SO GOOD: We got a one bedroom with kitchen. Fold out bed in living room had noisy springs from age and wasn’t comfortable. We had to buy our own mattress cover to get through the week. 

—TVs are old with no HDMI outlet so we couldn’t watch our own streaming with roku/laptops and were left with repetitive cable and archaic dvd player. 

—Check-out time is too early.  Cleaners DON’T CLEAN DAILY during Covid and there are so few rooms, not sure why it’s so early.

-UV/Ozone sterilization means no one wipes down the surfaces and ours were sticky so we did it ourselves.

-They don’t clean the kitchen and there is no dishwasher— so nothing is sterilized. Ours dishes were laden with dried food. Extra fee if you don't leave kitchen spotless.

—Only one car can park in their lot even though THE STREET PARKING IS  RESTRICTED!— so where are you supposed to park overnight?

—The living room has no black out curtains and the sun beams in at dawn.  

—Dark and depressing old decor. Even some wax fruit on the table!

Nice area but rooms need help

At the last minute, we stayed an extra night in SB, and we needed a place with some kitchen amenities. We were referred to this place by staff at a nearby motel and were so blown away. The appearance from the street is nothing special but inside it all really works and more. 

This place has so many wonderful features, starting with lovely, helpful staff. 

The apartment reminded me of the home of someone's upscale grandma.. The rooms were large--a Parisian or New Yorker would be envious. T

The furnishings are artistic without being pretentious. Nice colors, harmonious things--not especially hip but really nice. Much of the furniture was  real wood, some with artistic carvings, pretty, things that made you look again.  And the fabrics were lovely. I've never before been motivated to take a picture of a bathroom curtain, but in this case--yes, it was a lovely lacy cotton fabric. And the other curtains were also really nice fabric--not the usual hotel quality. As was the spread (which is washed and dried between every stay). The bed was great and we both slept well which was  a minor miracle.

We are used to settling for a cramped mini-fridge and microwave, but were happy to get a real fridge and stove where we could cook. Everything was real--no cheap plastic plates or bowls--real ceramic. 

Everything worked! Whether it was the air controls, lighting, locks, etc.--nothing was shabby or difficult or requiring of a manual to figure it out. As for the housekeeping, -the place was gleaming.  

There is a central courtyard with a garden and tall trees, in which birds make a racket at sunrise and sunset. That was such a treat! Instead of having ugly and noisy cars in front of your room, you have flowers and greenery and birds...with little sitting areas so you can enjoy them. 

Finally, the location. Easy walk to downtown, super close to the beach, and yet not on a noisy main drag, which is a half block away. 

What else could you want?

What a happy surprise!

This is our second visit.  The owners pay attention to every detail.  It's sparkling clean charming, and down to earth.  Oh and the flowers are  beautiful
The location is wonderful, 
Happy Travels

Home Away From Home

Stayed there while moving my son.  The staff and owner are wonderful people!  So helpful and welcoming to Santa Barbara.  The room was perfect, and very clean!  The courtyard garden is beautiful and very relaxing.  Close to downtown and the waterfront.  Will be planning to stay there again!

Wonderful place to stay! Friendly and beautiful courtyard garden.

So happy I found the Beach House Inn.  I recently stayed for a few days and will be back.  From the dutch door to the cute little kitchen, everything is so well thought out and delightful.  If you want your morning coffee outside there is lovely seating right outside the door.  Sit in this peaceful tropical courtyard and relax after a day walking on the beach or in downtown Santa Barbara. And in the evening sit by your gas fireplace and read a book.  The rooms are large, but cozy and homey.  The kitchens are fully equipped, everything you might need.  Really a home away from home.

Hidden Gem!

My son and I stayed here for three nights. We were extremely pleased. Our room was like being at home in our own garden apartment; a full kitchen stocked with pans, cups, dishes and many other cooking utensils, and spacious bedroom & living area both with a gas fireplace. The amenities also included cable flat screen TV and free WiFi. The rooms were very clean and have an ozone/UV sanitizer cleaner, something that is especially important these days. Outside there is a lovely garden courtyard with trees, flowers, birds and butterflies.  Parking is off street, some it covered which was great as we had some rain one day.  There is an overall feeling of peace and quiet; home away from home.  The location was perfect; close to shopping, restaurants and both the Santa Barbara bayfront and the shopping district.  The train station is only 2 blocks away, which was especially convenient as we came up from San Diego.  We loved Santa Barbara and when we come back we will look forward to staying at the Beach House Inn & Apartments again.

Peaceful Garden Apartments.

Goodness, this place is such a hidden gem for all types of travelers. I’m so happy we made the decision to stay here for our 3 night getaway from LA to the place where we met 10 years ago and hold dear. Now we have two small kids along for the ride, and this was the best place we’ve stayed in our re-visits, especially for a family. But it would be wonderful for all types of groups - couples looking for dog friendly, grandparents who appreciate the quiet lush courtyard, families who need the extra space and convenience. I have already recommended to my local friends when looking for family or friend accommodations. 

We stayed in room 6, one of the king suites with a separate bedroom/living room and full kitchen. It was perfect: the bedroom is large enough for a toddler floor air mattress (or in king bed if needed) and younger child in pack n play. Then we had the pull out couch as backup if needed. But the apartment is huge - way bigger than most local long term rentals. And being able to sit right out front in chairs or the grassy courtyard full of flowers, butterflies, and birds, was such a treat. Plus parking was right behind this unit, so super convenient with kids. But it’s so small, all the rooms are easy access to the back lot. Staff are so helpful and friendly. You really can’t help but feel positive and grateful when engaging with them, even during covid times. 

So overall, you absolutely cannot beat the charm, convenience and affordability of this hidden gem. Usually one feels duped by the Santa Barbara hotels, especially after you’ve lived here. Some places really gouge you so you can get a slice of paradise. But Beach House is actually worth every penny and more for what you receive in return. Also, the location is perfect. We love this area as visitors. Very safe and quiet, off the beaten path but walkable or quickly drive/bike to everything. Leadbetter beach is just around the corner and has the best accessibility of any beach in my opinion.  Which is huge when you have kids. 

Don’t hesitate, if you want that hard to pinpoint but definable Santa Barbara charm, plus space and convenience with an extremely reasonable price tag, this is it. 

Family friendly perfection 

Stayed here for 4 mights as part of a family California road trip. The whole place ids just what you need. Like little homes within a safe and quiet complex, including a good car park.
Location is "inbetween" everything so no more than 10 minute to walk everywhere, or 2 minutes in the car.
Pam and her friendly team made you us feel very welcome, and even  bit special!
To summarise, juts one of those places that you can't wait to recommend to anybody else wanting to stay somewhere beautiful  in Santa Barbara.

Perfect place to stay in Santa Barbara

First impressions mean alot.  So do 2nd, 3rd and when you keep on being impressed, it's time to take photos.  

When you come in from the back parking lot, the incredible landscaping is the first thing you see.  

At the front desk, Tony was great. He made me feel very welcome.  Then, before I even went inside my room I saw double dutch doors!!  Where do you see that?  And they were gorgeous. What a color!! See the photos!!

Then, inside on the bed was a real, old fashioned QUILT.  I had to turn over a corner to see the back.  It looked like an antique!  

I have stayed in hotels for quite some time and I never saw the details and care put into a room the way I saw it done here. 

The quality of the appliances, magnets on the refridgerator with beautiful quotes from Aesop and Barbara Kingsolver, the lace curtains in the kitchen with sailboats, birds and lighthouses, the bowl of fruit on the kitchen table.  They even had a ceramic doggie bowl.

Quality, taste and a fireplace that works!!

AND EVERYTHING WAS IMMACULATE!!

If you need time away, if you need to relax, if you want to be near the beach, near State Street, near restaurants, near practically all that Santa Barbara has to offer, everything is within walking distance.

Quality, Taste, and Amazing Details.

Quality, Taste and Amazing Details

We have been lucky to be able to spend 5 weeks at this delightful hotel every Jan/Feb for a few years now. It is pet friendly and the apartments have lots of room - kitchen/dining room, sitting room, bedroom and bathroom. We travel with our two dogs and our bikes and find it very easy to come and go exploring this beautiful town which is quiet at this time of year. Parking is off road and a beautiful little garden greets you from all rooms on the ground level. We were all (dogs too!) greeted to a warm welcome and the staff are friendly, knowledgeable about the area/events and always helpful. This hotel is convenient to the beach, harbor, college, Amtrak station and downtown.
