Top 1000 Steps Beach Hotel Reviews

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

8/10 Good

"The property was as described, clean, very nice rooms. Was it worth over $400 per night- no, but that’s pretty typical of SB. Great location near the harbor, walkable to west beach, downtown, funk zone, etc. Hot tub was a great bonus."

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location near beach and harbor areas. Great continental breakfast , super friendly and helpful staff . We rode the complimentary bikes all over , had a wonderful stay, highly recommend"

Mesa Family Retreat | 4BR, Firepit, Near Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful place, lovely garden - floor plan would help assign rooms before arrival"

Refined Beachside Retreat | Walk to Beach, Heated Pool, Ocean Breezes & Comfort

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing locationBeautiful houseHighly recommended"

Scenic Coastal Haven | Walk to Beach, Hot Tub, Fireplace & Sunset-Facing Terrace

10/10 Excellent

"House was fantastic. Be advised any properties in Santa Barbara don't have air conditioning including this home. It was extremely hot. I couldn't find the fans and it took a few rounds of messaging at 8:00 p.m. to get help with that. With conditions this hot The host should consider opening the windows prior to arrival. It was oppressive"

Large Home with Ocean Views & Hot Tub!

10/10 Excellent

"This home was beautiful and thoroughly enjoyable to stay in. It was especially great because we had three little ones under two years old and there was plenty of baby/toddler equipment and things for them to do. It was a great location just minutes from the beach, and there was plenty of everything in the house that you could want.Also, the owner next door could not have been more helpful and kind.Just two small things I would point out- the garage is full of great beach and sports equipment (yay!) but it doesn’t really accommodate 2 cars. So you can get 1 car in the garage, 1 car in front of the garage, then street parking.Also, there was no filtered drinking water available that I saw so we used bottled water. Otherwise, it was a great place for families who love the beach."

Art Deco Beach Getaway | Walk to Beach, Game Room & Outdoor Gathering Spaces

10/10 Excellent

"The property was well equipped. The only recommendations would be to add charging stations at the bedside. It was a hot humid weekend, and the house does not have AC but there was a standing fan available so that was helpful. The location is perfect being close to the water, downtown, and local convenience shopping."

Shoreline Cottage - Ocean Views, across from Park, walk to the beach, dog OK

8/10 Good

"Amazing location. No a/c so keep that in mind, but other than that a fantastic location and was nice to at least on our last morning be cool enough to enjoy the fire pit. The location across the park not only has amazing views but a wonderful walking path. Highly recommend!"

Tropical Beach Paradise w/ Spa ● Steps to Ocean Bluff and Sand ● Pet Friendly

10/10 Excellent
