Perfect and quit. We had a wonderful cabin for 5 people with great green views and a nice patio. Breakfast and dinner is included. Food is obviously home cooked and very tasty, which we really appreciated after almost 3 weeks on the road. Staff is so welcoming and you almost feel like part of the family. We did a horseback ride up the hills. It was definitely worth the cost and we really enjoyed our cowboy guide telling us about the area.

We enjoyed Santa Barbara as usual. We have been coming there once a year for about 10 years. We enjoyed the Trolley Tour, although we have had better guides. The one we had seemed to roll through all the sights where, during previous visits, we were able to get better photos, and saw more.

Easy walk from Motel 6 on Carpinteria Street to restaurants and the beach. "The Spot" for burgers! Little Dom's for fancy feed. I walked my doggie in her stroller. Grocery store two blocks down the street. Not fancy digs. Just PEACE and QUIET. Nice pool too.

When I visit my daughter and grandson in Santa Barbara, I like to have my privacy so I stay here. The dog and i can walk to the beach boardwalk in 20 minutes. There's the tasty burger shack where we share! There are bathrooms. On the way to the beach you will find restaurants and shops. The old doggie is in a nice-sized stroller, so we can bring back goodies. Right next door to the Motel 6 on Carpenteria Street is a grocery store, dollar-type store, and Goodwill too! Have fun!
