Not worth the cost.
The Inn is quaint, but not a four star/diamond place to stay and is very overpriced. As others have shared, it sits right along hwy101 so it is so loud it’s not worth having your slider or even your blinds open- you won’t hear the ocean anyway, and because the deck is essentially a shared deck divided by railing it’s extremely not private. The room furnishings and decor are a little outdated and worn, the tub jets were filthy, and the bed was absolutely awful (so so saggy). We did not sleep well at all. The staff is friendly but the lobby and breakfast area are very small, and the food served is Holiday Inn quality (think yogurt hard potatoes, and precut cheese cubes from Safeway ). Their “spa” is not a spa, but a room they have two massage tables in downstairs. There isn’t even a check in desk. Our very expensive “spa” services were very mediocre and not relaxing- the therapists talked to each other much of the time and my facial was in the same space as my partner’s massage. We absolutely wouldn’t stay here again, but we would, though, visit the Stonehouse for dinner again- WOW.

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.

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.

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.

Room was great. Romantic feeling and cozy. The only real issue I can imagine is it being right next to a freeway. Inside the room it didn't matter so much, but it's quite noisy on the balcony. Overall, great room though. Close to Santa Barbara (<10 minutes drive) and Summerland is a cute town to explore.

Way too loud with constant highway and street noise. Room was expensive. I should have more carefully looked at reviews. Could not relax on nice deck overlooking highway and ocean due to crazy loudness

I had a lovely stay, but was not aware that the beach sand contains tar. I had to use hotel towels and body oil to remyif from my feet. Then I was charged for those towels. There should be a guest notice regarding the beach tar so guests can be prepared. My intention was to enjoy the beach, not have tar stick to my feet that then ruined the towels I had to use. Paper towels did not work. I had to ask the park ranger how to remote tar

Cute Inn by the highway
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.
