Our second stay at this fabulous property. A lovely upscale place just off the 101, perfect when traveling but would love to spend a little time there. Close to Santa Barbara and Ventura with a lovely little town down the street with shops, coffee and a great restaurant. A must stay!
wonderful and romantic place to stay we loved it .
Thanks for letting us make memories there for our anniversary, my wife's Birthday and of course we arrived on Valentines day!

Great location within walking distance to some good food and stores. Only problem was when someone decided to take a bath at midnight. Very loud plumbing. Definitely it drowned out the freeway noise.
Beautiful inn. The view of the ocean was stunning, the staff was friendly, the kitchen served an excellent breakfast and snacks, and overall we had a great time there. Amazingly comfortable bed!
We had a wonderful stay here. The room was cute and clean and more than anything the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. We loved waking up in the morning and seeing the dolphins playing in the water. Close proximity to Montecito and Santa Barara was also a huge plus for us. Highly recommend.
Breakfast with staff cooking scrambled egg and bacon. Wine and cheese with crackers in the evening. Goodies served later. Ocean sound machine in room with fireplace. Fantastic B and B.
I was very impressed by the friendly service, cleanliness and overall vibe of the place. I had only one issue and it was the sound of the traffic. Unfortunately, the cars went by all night and it was during the week. If your not looking for quiet then it is a lovely little gem.
Super cute little Inn! We absolutely loved our short stay! The road noise was horrible, I feel terrible for this tiny town. The staff was less than friendly but interaction was minimal.
I love that this place was super clean. The towels were semi new and soft. Also, the place was quiet and had a nice view from the balcony. The staff was nice and friendly and made you feel welcome.
