Surrounded by lush plants and featuring its own private garden patio and a front porch with a view of the Santa Ynez mountains, this serene retreat lets you enjoy California’s outdoor lifestyle in total tranquility . Despite feeling like a secret hideaway, it’s only steps from the ocean and a short walk to downtown Santa Barbara’s attractions – truly the best of both worlds. Inside, the Garden Suite charms you with a king-size bed, restored vintage furnishings, and even a working record player for a touch of nostalgic leisure (flip through our curated vinyl collection and savor the retro vibes) . The interior décor brings the outside in, with botanical accents and soft coastal colors, creating a calming space to relax and recharge. A full kitchen is provided so you can whip up breakfast to enjoy on the patio or chill local wine for an evening under the stars. Like all four of the Marlowe suites, you’ll have high-speed wireless internet and plush amenities, yet the Garden Suite’s magic lies in its peaceful, natural ambiance – your own little garden oasis by the beach. For honeymooners, nature lovers, or anyone seeking a rejuvenating escape, the Garden Suite offers a boutique Santa Barbara experience that is like a trip to Santa Brabara’s past. Nestled in the coastal beauty of Santa Barbara, The Marlowe Seaside Inn is a boutique coastal lodging that blends vintage charm with modern luxury. This lovingly restored inn – located just two blocks from West Beach and across from Santa Barbara’s historic train station – offers a tranquil retreat for guests seeking a romantic beach getaway or relaxing vacation rental in Santa Barbara. Each of the inn’s boutique suites is thoughtfully designed, featuring authentic period furnishings updated with eco-friendly touches and indulgent amenities like luxury linens and spa-quality toiletries. By day, sunlight and ocean breezes fill the rooms; by night, the soft glow of antique lamps creates a warm, intimate ambiance reminiscent of old Santa Barbara. Guests enjoy the best of both worlds – the timeless atmosphere of a 1930s seaside inn and the convenience of modern comforts. All four of our suites come with fully equipped kitchens, high-speed Wi-Fi (500 Mbps), smart Roku TVs, and keyless smart locks, ensuring you have everything you need for a comfortable stay. The Marlowe Seaside Inn prides itself on its welcoming atmosphere and personalized touches – including pet-friendly accommodations for those traveling with furry companions – so every guest feels at home. Just a short stroll from the inn, you’ll find Stearns Wharf, the harbor, and downtown’s boutique shops and restaurants, making The Marlowe both an idyllic beachside escape and a perfect base to explore Santa Barbara. Experience where sustainability meets laid-back Santa Barbara luxury at The Marlowe Seaside Inn – a true coastal gem offering vintage soul and modern comfort in the heart of the American Riviera. ## Property amenities ### Beach -

Location was excellent for relaxing walks and food. The renovated 1930's(?) apartment was superb, and very welcoming! Thank you for a wonderful stay! ##### Leslie G. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Joyce H. 21 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Not only did we not see the host; it was very difficult to actually get a message to them - we needed several passcodes, some of which we didn't have with us on vacation. Furniture was retro, we understand, but the rusted metal filecase in bedroom was a total waste of space and unusable for anything. None of the clocks worked, and my husband would have liked an instruction sheet with how to operate TV, microwave, heaters, etc. and a list of what to do upon checkout. Front door code was easy to use and to remember ! ##### Joyce H. Stayed 14 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jerry S. 28 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The comforts at The Garden Suite were really great for us. The bed was super comfy and the kitchen worked well when we cooked and enjoyed a quick breakfast. Most amazing was how the unique older furnishings created a gentle ambiance for us. The location was the best!!! A short walk to the beaches, local markets, world class restaurants and more! Finally the service we got for clean linens, fresh coffee and more was great! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/83ea965f-a4de-4843-a962-4f537bd005c0-1772241251034.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ecf25687-ac0d-4e5e-9da6-359437defef4-1772241252711.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1c75096f-12da-4c39-af81-ec5284741940-1772241251544.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1807cd45-071f-476e-b7cb-a087611efe73-1772241254343.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jerry S.
