This second-floor hideaway is lovingly outfitted to make even a short stay feel special. The bedroom itself is a snug little retreat – just big enough for the comfy bed it holds – draped with a unique fabric canopy ceiling that creates a cocoon-like atmosphere for dreamy nights . In lieu of a traditional TV in the bedroom, enjoy a private mini cinema experience with a movie projector, perfect for cuddling up with your favorite film. Step through French doors onto your private balcony, where you’re greeted with picturesque views of the historic Santa Barbara train station and the Santa Ynez Mountains beyond. It’s the perfect perch to watch the world go by – from the distant chug of vintage trains to sunsets over the mountains – drink in hand. Inside the suite, you’ll find a full kitchen for convenient meals and snacks, plus all the upscale touches The Marlowe is known for (luxury linens, high-speed Wi-Fi, and more). Pet lovers rejoice: the Vista Suite is pet-friendly, so your furry companion is welcome to share the experience. Intimate and enchanting, the Vista Suite is ideal for couples on a romantic beach getaway or solo travelers seeking a cozy, character-filled home base in Santa Barbara’s beachfront neighborhood. 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.

Beautiful decor. We walked all around Downtown SB and to the beach. Near the train station so my only rec would be to bring ear plugs for those early morning trains :) ##### Ellie R. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael S. 5 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Unbeatable location, accommodating host, very nice space! The property itself is very reasonable for the price listed - it felt very spacious for two people. Well equipped kitchen and nicely furnished overall. The location is great too, with very short walks to the beach or to State Street. And our hosts were very receptive and accommodating to our every request! I can't recommend this highly enough. ##### Michael S. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jocelyn P. 17 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sweet little apartment We had a great stay at the marlowe, it felt like our own little home close to everything in Santa Barbara. We walked everywhere. Super coose distance to the beach and the funk zone. All appliances are new and modern but with a really cool vintage look.If you like a firmer pillow bring your own, that would be my only “complaint”.It is right next to the train station which can be a little loud but it didn’t really bother us. Gardening is on tuesday so be aware that there is noise. ##### Jocelyn P. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teresa P. 27 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### beautiful apartment I loved staying here it's in an amazing location close to the beach and close to cute restaurants and bars. SB is such a safe place to walk around. The apartment is very very clean a little modern vintage feel. My friend and I used the bedroom and the pullout couch. the pullout couch was very comfortable! the mattress was some type of Tempurpedic. the bedroom is so cute and the bed was very comfortable. 10/10 would recommend! will be rebooking this anytime I take a trip to SB. ##### Teresa P.
