What guests say
8.5 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 305 guest reviews
Casa Del Mar Inn earns consistently warm reviews for its unbeatable beach-adjacent location, charming Spanish-style grounds, genuinely friendly staff, and the popular complimentary afternoon wine and cheese. The main drawbacks are a limited continental breakfast that many guests found disappointing, rooms that are dated and occasionally small or poorly ventilated, and a tight parking lot. Guests largely feel it delivers strong value for Santa Barbara, provided expectations are set around its no-frills, boutique character.
