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.

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!
