Casa Jardin - Boutique Suites in Downtown Santa Barbara offers accommodation within 500 metres of the centre of Santa Barbara, with free WiFi, and a kitchen with a dishwasher, an oven and a microwave. This apartment features free private parking and a 24-hour front desk. The apartment has private entrance.

We stayed at Casa Jardin for 3 nights over a long weekend and it was perfect. Our room was small but well set up so that it didn't feel too tight. There was plenty of space for our bags and clothes, the bathroom was a good size and had nice amenities, and the room still managed to squeeze in a kitchenette. Location was perfect -- right near downtown, great tasting rooms, coffee, and food. We appreciated the included white noise machine, though the street noise was not too bad. Parking on site was easy and convenient. The check-in process was also very easy and the keypad on the door worked great so that we didn't need to carry a key around. I will definitely be recommending Casa Jardin to anyone I know traveling to Santa Barbara!

    For all the years that my husband and I have selected vacation rentals both in the States and abroad, the Bath Inn stood out as exceptional in a number of ways. We both were extremely relaxed and comfortable at the Inn due to the warm and helpful staff, the beautiful surroundings, the delicious breakfasts, cookies and evening wine. The Inn was clean and comfortable; the guests friendly and down to earth. We loved our 4 day stay at the Bath Inn.

    We ended up being put in a room at Villa Rosa-right next door (sister hotel?). Beautiful room, beautiful hotel with gorgeous antiques in the lobby and throughout the building. Melodie at the front desk was awesome. Both hotels are across the street from the beach and a quick walk to State Street.

    My daughter liked the breakfast items. I noted they were all gone by 8:30 though most days. Location best reason to stay here. My second reserved room ended up at the “villa” across the street. Nice amount is space and perk of separate sitting room .

    We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Rosa! I went with my son and his family. They were very kid friendly and even gave my grandkids fish food to feed the giant koi fish. The free breakfast was great, especially with 4 kids, and they had free wine with snacks in the evening, a beautiful, quiet gardening setting with tables to sit and eat, and friendly staff. I would love to go back.

    The villa was in a perfect location for us, very near a host of bars and restaurents and well within walking distance of State Street - the main street of the city. Our 2nd room was large, airy and perfectly clean.
