Choose one or more items to build your trip:
Go for a quiet evening stroll by the waterfront at Santa Barbara Harbor. Be charmed by the sight of sailboats gently bobbing around under moonlit skies.

When you've finished up at this Santa Barbara Beach yacht and boat harbor, why not check out Santa Barbara County Courthouse, Mission Santa Barbara, and Presidio Santa Barbara? They're not very far from Santa Barbara Harbor and also popular with many tourists.

I like that it is gated. I don’t like that you have to walk to the main hotel Mar Monte to use amenities.

We like how clean the property was. I also like a room without carpeting, which is why I booked here. Cute, clean, great deal.
