Bed and Breakfast Inns have to be approached from a different point of view than a hotel stay. That said, the overall experience was very good due to the friendliness of the staff, the delicious breakfast, the hosted wine social in the early evening and the location. One must approach the B & B room experience knowing that the room... More

Let me tell you, I love a place that always smells like freshly baked cookies and has free sherry in the bedroom. Put that place a few blocks away from the beach and I'm there! I would stay at the Old Yacht Club Inn again, and I would also recommend it to friends. It's cozy, unpretentious and has a lot... More

The saving grace for this B&B is the location which is about one block from the beach in Santa Barbara. The Santa Barbara Zoo is also within 5 min walk. The Good - As mentioned, the location. The main dining room has a decent sized fireplace and we did enjoy meeting our fellow guest in the evening over wine and... More

Nice and quiet B&B. Stayed in the Santa Rosa Suite. Plenty of room for 4 people. Definitely could use some updating but was clean. Breakfast was good and people were friendly. We lucked out and found a parking spot in back but I can see the parking challenge I read about online. There are bikes available for use during your... More

My girlfriend surprised me with a weekend away at the Old Yacht Club Inn for my birthday. Having stayed in other B&B's in Santa Barbara my expectations were high. While the Inn is not without it's nautical charm and is perfectly located within walking distance of the beach, I found the breakfast to be uninspired and common and the evening... More

I had guests coming in from out of town (I live in Santa Barbara) and I'm in the process of a re-model so we put them up here. It was so charming. There are bicycles to use, they have a wine social in the evening, it's close to the beach and the host of the B&B was very attentive to... More

We missed the apparently popular wine social as we were out sailing, and the inn itself fell short of our expectations. The room was very small- just a bed (which was uncomfortable) and a couple of small tables. There is literally nothing to do and nothing near by, and you don't want to sit in your room and look at...

The Inn itself is quite nice. The location is lacking since it is next to two motels (one is Motel 6). Plenty of parking. Breakfast is ok. The room was clean, large and with plenty of storage for clothing. Bed was comfortable. Evening social time furnished time and place to share with other guests and host. We had an enjoyable... More

Nice place and I would stay there again. They add a nice touch by hosting a nightly wine social from 5 to 6 pm. Nice way to meet other folks that are staying at the B&B. Good time to share information about Santa Barbara. We stayed in the Santa Rosa Suite....the Suite was clean and neat and although the B&B... More
