Casa Del Mar Inn -- your House by the Sea -- is a fitting name for a charming, Mediterranean-style Inn in Santa Barbara, California just steps from soft sands and the blue Pacific. This unique inn combines the intimacy of a bed and breakfast with the privacy of a hotel, appealing to visitors of all types, from vacationing families to honeymooners to business travelers.

Twenty-one rooms and suites surround a private courtyard with lush gardens, meandering paths, and a relaxing spa. All rooms have private baths, hair dryers, coffee makers, cable television, and queen- or king-size beds. Feel free to make use of the convenient off-street parking and relax in the courtyard whirlpool spa. For those of you needing to do business, there are fax and 24-hour telephone services and modem hookups as well as high-speed Internet access in all rooms. Fresh flowers and colorful plants add to the relaxing, homelike atmosphere.

A knowledgeable and friendly staff is always on hand to help select a restaurant, plan activities, give directions, and answer questions. Amenities include a generous complimentary breakfast buffet served daily plus an evening wine and cheese social.

Casa Del Mar Inn enjoys one of the best locations in Santa Barbara, close to all beach and waterfront activities and the city's main shopping and restaurant districts. Less than a block away, you will find sandy beaches and miles of palm-lined oceanfront paths for biking, jogging, and skating.

Walk to the harbor for sunset cruises, where you can enjoy charter fishing and sailing or whale watching. Historic Steams Wharf, the Dolphin Fountain, and the Sunday Arts and Crafts Show along Cabrillo Boulevard are just steps away. A convenient city shuttle bus departs every fifteen minutes, taking you uptown for shopping, the Art museum, or to visit the famous Santa Barbara Zoo.
