Cute Inn by the Beach
Loved the king with couch and balcony. Also great having a corner unit and lots of windows with nice view from 2nd floor. Plenty of parking and friendly service at check in. Great stay!

This place is really strategically located in the heart of SB. My family and I went for a long weekend and all the fun stuff was less than 5 minutes away every time. Great food options around the area.
The one thing we disliked: the rooms get really hot. The AC was not on when we got there so it was warm and then it never turned on throughout the night until 6am the next morning. If you decide to stay here, make sure someone turns on the AC for you and let it on not just for 30 minutes. Enjoy!

Very friendly and helpful staff. We got locked out of room late night once and someone from management showed up in 3 minutes to help us out.

My wife and I were treated very nice by Jose when we arrived at the inn. We were able to get an early check-in by calling the day before.
