"This was our first time staying at The Genevieve. We were very pleased with our room and appreciated having two valets to use! Bathroom was spacious (though could have used more lighting) and nice having a balcony. Breakfast was included and bikes were available for use. Location was perfect as we were attending an event at Gainey Winery, which was just down the street. "

Laguna
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (268 reviews)
"The perfect place for our short getaway! Casa Jardin is cozy and clean, with our kitchen needs met for making tea and storing/reheating leftovers from local dining. We were staying for a concert at the Santa Barbara Bowl, which was walking distance, so we didn't have to worry about parking or traffic for our concert. Neighborhood is quiet and we felt safe. Downtown Santa Barbara is walkable from this stay as well, for shops and nightlife. Short drive to the beach."

"Such a great B and B! We had the Balcony Room, which is on the second floor of the main 1890s house. The room is smallish, and the bathroom is very small, but it doesn't matter! Very cute and cozy, didn't mind the size. Having a fridge in the hallway just steps from the room was a plus. Delightful gourmet breakfast and array of cakes and cookies at tea time. Very nice staff too."
