Enjoy indoor-outdoor living, a full kitchen, and vintage coastal charm.

Located on the ground floor of The Marlowe and feeling like your own little beach bungalow, the Patio Suite offers the perfect blend of privacy and indoor-outdoor coastal living . This one-bedroom suite welcomes you with a sunny semi-private front patio, perfect for people-watching over a cup of coffee, and a completely private rear patio that serves as your own secret garden for relaxing with a book or enjoying the ocean breeze in peace . 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 a 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. With its two patios, this suite blurs the line between indoors and out, filling the space with fresh air and Santa Barbara sunshine . Just steps from the heart of Santa Barbara and a quick walk to the beach, the Patio 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, travelers with pets (yes, it’s pet-friendly!), or anyone who loves the idea of a boutique coastal escape complete with garden patios and vintage allure.

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.

Patio Suite is packed with charm and on a quiet corner just steps away from State Street and the ocean! The bed was comfortable; there was plenty of hot water and good water pressure: the linens were fresh and fluffy; and tv and WiFi worked well! The kitchen was outfitted with plenty of practical cooking utensils and a good coffee machine :) And we found the nearby train’s call for “All aboard” endearing, not annoying.We think we found a “treasure” in the area of Santa Barbara that we love to stay in… and we’ll definitely be back!

We absolutely loved our time at this Santa Barbara getaway! The location couldn’t be better — just steps to the beach, easy walk to State street & Funk zone for access to great restaurants and wine tasting. The space was spotless, comfortable, and trendy designed decor with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Morning coffee on the patio in the fresh ocean breeze was the perfect start to each day.Our host was friendly, responsive, and made check-in a breeze. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful beach escape in Santa Barbara!

Fantastic 1 bedroom cottage in the center of Santa Barbara. Walking distance to so many things. The cottage is even better in person than the photos convey. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Vintage Stay

The Patio Suite was wonderful with its vintage Santa Barbara charm and great location. The space was comfortable and well appointed. The vintage tile in the kitchen and bathroom was beautiful. We had a very comfortable stay and loved being able to easily walk to the beach and Stearns Wharf.We'll happily stay here again on another trip!
