Lavender Inn by the Sea

8/10 Good
"The Inn is about a 10 to 15 min walk to State Street and Stearn’s wharf. Aaron at the front desk was very pleasant at check in. Our room was clean and staff were kind. My wife and I chose to explore for breakfast and decided on Jeanine’s which was excellent! The Lavender Inn continental breakfast would have sufficed. There was ample parking on site. I would recommend exploring further south for nicer beaches. A trip through the Santa Ynez mountains to Solvang is a great take for a Danish touch. A lot of shops, restaurants and bakeries. Public restrooms are near the two free public parking lots."
