About this property

Enjoy indoor-outdoor living, a full kitchen and walk to beach and state st.

Located on the 2nd floor of The Marlowe Villa feeling like your own little beach bungalow, the Terrace Suite offers the perfect blend of privacy and spacious beach living. This one-bedroom suite is outfitted with a working vintage record player, two recliners and linen pull out couch. Inside, vintage meets modern comfort – a plush king-size bed and thoughtfully chosen antique furnishings create a cozy retreat, while high-speed Wi-Fi and 75` smart TV keep you connected. The layout provides a spacious living area and a full kitchen, so you can prepare a romantic dinner or simple snacks to savor outside on its mountain view terrace soaked in Santa Barbara sunshine. Just steps from the heart of Santa Barbara and a quick walk to the beach, the Terrace Suite is a uniquely intimate hideaway that invites you to unwind in your own private slice of our seaside inn. It’s an ideal choice for couples seeking charm and serenity or anyone who loves the idea of a boutique coastal escape complete with private outdoor space and vintage charm.

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.
As a courtesy to our other guests, many of whom come to Santa Barbara to hike, surf or cycle early in the morning and wish to go to bed early, please no loud noise after 10pm.
