Loved the styling, every detail was thoughtfully designed. From the outside planting and seating to the lighting and careful labelling of every facility, the devil is in the detail, and Michael had thought of everything. His communication was friendly without being intrusive, and speedily responsive!

    Staff was very positive and helpful. Rooms were nicely cleaned as often as you requested. Nice swimming pool. Free bike rental. Pool and beach towels are provided for your use. Great location to many walkable shops and restaurants in Coast Village Montecito. Butterfly beach is a 12-15 minute walk away and is beautiful (but no bathroom facilities.) Many other nice beaches (with facilities) are a 10 to 20 minute drive away.

    Location, view, ambiance & staff. Very cozy place, my second time returning to Ala Mar Inn. Nice coffee always available and sweet treat breakfast included. Also ability to use pool at sister property Villa Rosa, that comes handy on a hot day!

    Location was exceptional and the stay was quiet and calm in a beautiful neighborhood. Easy access to quaint cafes and shops along Coast Village Rd. The beds were amazing and had a good nights rest. Staff was accommodating and helpful. Its a small and charming Inn located in a prime area , perfect for a few days of rest.

    We ended up being put in a room at Villa Rosa-right next door (sister hotel?). Beautiful room, beautiful hotel with gorgeous antiques in the lobby and throughout the building. Melodie at the front desk was awesome. Both hotels are across the street from the beach and a quick walk to State Street.

    Great location to the beach! We loved our unit at the Tide Pool Villas because of the kitchenette and fridge. The staff is great and accommodating. The coffee is good and they have a simple breakfast.
