Santa Barbara Recs?
Hi Ladies!
Our 4 year anniversary is coming up at the end of the month (time flies) and I want to plan a getaway to Santa Barbara. I want a nice hotel that has a nice pool and is walking distance to State Street and the beach.
Any recs for hotels and restaurants? I've been there ONCE and we stayed at a cheapy hotel because we were there for an Incubus concert.
I would love to spoil Dh and get him a massage too so a hotel with a spa is a bonus. It will just be a 2-3 day stay.
TIA!!

Re: Santa Barbara Recs?
The Canary Hotel is on travelzoo right now for $299 a night. Might be worth a looksie.
Not quite SB, but the Ojai Valley Inn is a fantastic property.
Other than places in IV that I love to go back and eat at (Bagel Cafe, Cantina - yummy college town food!) We had a really amazing brunch at the Tupelo Junction Cafe on State the last time I was up there in April. The Dungeoness Crab Cake & Potato Hash is like, amazing. drool. The Biltmore also has a really amazing brunch.
Fess Parker's Doubletree Resort
Four Seasons
SB Biltmore
Hotel Mar Monte
the Biltmore is the Four Seasons
I didn't mention the Bacara, but I would LOVE to stay there. Just too baller for my taste.
IL's swear by the Franciscan Inn, although I have never been.
Cafe Zaytoon is fabulous.
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
The Harbor View Inn.
Small nice hotel, across the street from the beach. about 2 blocks from State Street. Nice pool area, really nice rooms, and fab balconies.
Reasonable price for what you get.

Ooooooooooooh good find my friend.
This is close to the beach too which is a big bonus.
It is walking distance to everything...or at least a cheap cab ride away, if your lazy...My parents used to stay there all the time when they would come up to visit me, and have gone back even since I have moved.
I will say though, it is across the street from the beach at State Street, which is where 1 of the piers is...it is touristy and they have the street fair on the weekends...which is fine to walk around, but I wouldnt so much lay on the beach there.
I would go further north or south, for that.
Oh hell no. I will not be laying out.......I am too much of a beached whale for that. I just want to be able to bring our bikes and cruise around.
Super excited.
Cnickler- your siggy pic is too cute. lol
Lilylover77-hope you have a great time!
