Our colorful courtyard, on sunny mornings, is all the buzz. Guests chat over coffee and exchange all their “finds” in Santa Barbara.

The Beach House Inn is in close proximity to a local favorite market that carries a fantastic variety of prepared foods which is a great place to pick up for a picnic on your way to Shoreline Park to watch the sailboats, dolphins and migrating whales.
