So cozy and clean
Had a great experience at Casa De La Vina! The room was beautiful and so functional! The multiple cabinets and storage drawers were perfect for keeping our luggage out of sight and making the room tidier and cozy. The kitchenette was clean and so efficient with the provided amenities. I can't wait to come back! Definitely will be booking here in the future.

A Clean and Modern Place to Stay
We loved how clean and modern our room looked and felt from the moment we checked in. The nespresso in the room was a nice touch and everything was well thought out in terms of layout. The skylight above the bed was great and allowed natural light in with automatic blinds to close if needed. This property was walking distance to a lot of restaurants in the downtown area and we found ourselves choosing to walk instead of driving due to the convenience. All in all, we would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Santa Barbara!
Loved the property and the room was perfect. Location was two blocks off State St and so quiet! Easy to walk everywhere from the beach, Funk Zone, shopping and restaurants. The room had everything we needed with thoughtful touches like a first aid kit and white noise machine. The room was very nicely decorated and looked brand new. Very happy with our stay!

Wonderful!
This is one of my favorite places I’ve stayed in in Santa Barbara. I highly recommend it.
Very clean, comfortable property with all the amenities. Perfect for two. Walking distance to Stearns Wharf, State Street, and the harbor. Plenty of parking, very quiet neighborhood. Not a lot of natural light, though. Skylight helped.
