This one-bedroom suite is outfitted with a working vintage record player, two recliners and linen pull out couch. Inside, vintage meets modern comfort – a plush king-size bed and thoughtfully chosen antique furnishings create a cozy retreat, while high-speed Wi-Fi and 75" smart TV keep you connected. You may also find a dedicated workspace, perfect for travelers working from home. The layout provides a spacious living area and a full kitchen, so you can prepare a romantic dinner or simple snacks to savor outside on its mountain view terrace soaked in Santa Barbara sunshine. Just steps from the heart of Santa Barbara and a quick walk to the beach, the Terrace Suite is a uniquely intimate hideaway that invites you to unwind in your own private slice of our seaside inn. It’s an ideal choice for couples seeking charm and serenity or anyone who loves the idea of a boutique coastal escape complete with private outdoor space and vintage charm.

Each of the inn’s boutique suites is thoughtfully designed, featuring authentic period furnishings updated with eco-friendly touches and indulgent amenities like luxury linens and spa-quality toiletries.
