    When my wife and I Travel to Santa Barbara the Harbor house always exceed our expectations.

    I can think of nothing that we didn't like during our trips there.

    The facility/room is always exceptionally clean. We book the Harbor House frequently for its location and comfort and cleanliness of the of the room. My wife and I have stayed here for the past 3 wedding anniversaries in addition to other occasions. We have checked other Inns in the area, but no others have met the excellence the Harbor House offers.

    Not the usual hotel room. The small fully furnished kitchen was a delight. We got up every morning to a pot of fresh coffee (everything’s furnished). Cody in the office was great and the location can’t be beat.

    The hotel and grounds were so beautiful. Everything was incredibly clean and neat... you can tell that the owners and employees really care. It was quiet and peaceful. The sheets and towels were so soft. The staff was expedient, kind and knowledgeable. There was a great array of healthy snacks in office, beautiful beach towels to use, bikes to use - absolutely above and beyond my expectations. The grounds are within walking distance of the beach. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

    The bed is facing the door (the door is facing the street). It’s much better if the bed could move to the other side of the room.

    Nice location, clean bathroom and bedroom. Convenient parking.

    Great location and adorable little inn with lots of perks that show you they have thought of everything! From the snacks and water in the office for when you arrive hungry to the bikes, boogie boards, beach chairs, sunscreen, and towels they offer guests to use for free….they really have been intentional in making your stay a respite. My son was happy to find people to play volleyball with on the beach right down from the hotel.

    Our room was directly next to a garage where they stored bikes and bogey boards and beach items which is great that they have that stuff available but we were awaken pretty early in the morning by all the noise

    It was a 3 min walk to the beach and the room felt very homey

    The bedroom and bathroom are on the small side but otherwise it was delightful.

    Clean room and comfortable bed. Had wonderful coffee and coffee maker in room along with real creamers in the refrigerator which we appreciated. Also provided coffee mugs, wine glasses, plates, bowls and utensils which were nice to have. Location is walking distance to shops and restaurants and the staff were very friendly and helpful with restaurant suggestions and directions.

    Nothing ... it was just great.

    I loved this place. From start to finish ... person in the office was very helpful even when I lost my car key! The room was charming. It has everything one could want and would easily work for a longer stay. It was well thought out spacially, the products in the room were excellent, the kitchen was fully functional, bed and couch were great. It was an easy five minute walk to the walking path at the beach. I'll be back.

    Need better pillows.

    The location was perfect for us. Less than half a mile walk to the funk zone where we wanted to hit up some great brew pubs. The hotel was just across the street from beach. The room amenities were awesome from the plush, huge towels to the complete toiletries. The rooms looks recently renovated and our unit 4 even had a small kitchenette. Very impressive so we’re definitely coming back. Everyone was also very nice.
