8.4/10 Very Good! (370 reviews)
What is so special about the Drift are the people. Everyone from folks at the coffee shop, check in team, to the GM Jacqueline are so lovely and provide excellent customer service! So completely above and beyond to make my stay wonderful! I love the streamline design of the rooms, the yoga mat in every room, and the coffee every morning at Dawn! There are bikes and surf boards to borrow and enjoy in SB. Make sure you check out the yoga studio too! Also, the location is perfect for exploring, especially all of the vintage shops and The Funk Zone! I highly recommend staying at The Drift, and hope to check out their other properties.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (905 reviews)
Gabby (manager) and the rest of her staff did everything to make our 10th wedding anniversary something special. I truly plan on making this trip to SB and staying at Hotel Californian an annual trip. The proximity to the beach was incredible. The rooftop pool has an incredible view. I took my time selecting a hotel that would make this a special weekend. And there was definitely some concern prior to arriving that my expectations would not be met. But with Gabby’s guidance, our stay felt special and classy. I would highly recommend staying here.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Waterfront vacation package cost?
We make it simple to see the world, with Waterfront packages starting from as low as CA $689. You'll have the flexibility to bundle your favorite airlines, hotels and car rental. For the ultimate escape, why not add a couple of activities and tours to your itinerary?
How do I get a cheap travel package to Waterfront?
One word: bundle. Hotels, rental cars and flights — combine whatever you need into a Waterfront vacation package to save a pile of cash. Score even more discounts when you add extras such as sightseeing tours to your booking. But that's not the only impressive part. You have the freedom to customize your trip your way. We offer over 550 partner airlines and 1,000,000 hotel options across the world, so that everyone has a chance to travel and fulfill those vacation fantasies.
Where should I stay in Waterfront?
Take the hassle out of sightseeing by staying within walking distance of Waterfront's iconic attractions. Santa Barbara County Courthouse and Presidio Santa Barbara are two of the best in the area.
How far in advance should I book my Waterfront vacation?
Reserving your flight early with Expedia means one less thing to have to worry about. A number of air carriers advertise prices up to 12 months prior to departure dates. Usually, this is the cheapest time to book. If circumstances have left you booking late, low prices to Waterfront are still known to appear just weeks before departure.
What does an Expedia Waterfront travel package include?
Hotels, flights and rental cars — we've got them all. With Expedia, you can create your Waterfront package the way you want. All you have to do is decide just what you need. Once you've made your booking, you can add on extras like tours and activities. The more you bundle, the greater your savings!
What should I know before booking a Waterfront travel package?
We already have low prices. However, you'll enjoy even more savings when you book your flights, hotels and car rentals together. With an Expedia travel package, you'll always get transparent pricing and tons of choice.
Can I choose my airline with a Waterfront Expedia vacation package?
Yes, you sure can. We have more than 550 partner airlines throughout the world, so go with the carrier that best fits your budget and travel needs.
If I'm not able to travel, can I cancel my Waterfront vacation package?
You sure can, and we're here to help. You may be able to cancel or change your Waterfront vacation package at no cost if you booked in the last 24 hours. However, you may incur a fee from your hotel, airline or car rental company for older bookings. If life throws you a curveball, look up our Customer Service Portal for further information.
