About this property

Library Suite – The Marlowe Seaside Inn: Spacious one-bedroom suite in Santa Barbara featuring a sunny writing sunroom, private balcony, and vintage decor.

The Library Suite at The Marlowe Seaside Inn is the most spacious and sun-drenched of our accommodations – a vintage-inspired haven perfect for guests who crave a little extra room to unwind. This elegant suite features a beautiful sunroom with a writing desk and even a vintage typewriter, inviting moments of inspiration or quiet reflection. A separate cozy den with a pull-out sofa bed adds versatility, whether you want a comfy reading nook, a movie night lounge, or an additional sleeping space for extra guests. The decor blends classic charm and light luxury: think hardwood floors, curated antique pieces, and airy linens bathed in natural light. French doors lead to a private balcony overlooking charming Chapala Street, where you can sip morning coffee as Santa Barbara comes to life. Like all our suites, the Library Suite includes a full kitchen and hotel-style amenities, so you can enjoy a boutique hotel experience with the privacy of your own apartment. Bright, inviting, and steeped in character, the Library Suite offers a true taste of historic Santa Barbara coastal living – ideal for a romantic beach getaway or an extended stay by the sea.

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.
