Such a cute little spot in a quiet neighborhood not far from downtown and all the action. Safe, secure, easy check in and checkout. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

The Secret Garden is beautiful! The rooms and property are so charming and inviting. Dominique was an amazing host, greeting us with maps and ideas of activities to do in the area. The property is quiet and so close to so many attractions like the mission, State Street, and beach. We even biked to many of them from the property. The beds are so comfy, and the breakfast was amazing! There is plenty of parking on site. I would recommend this bed and breakfast in a heartbeat and definitely plan on staying again!

Amazing stay at the Secret Garden. Our first time in SB was memorable, from the jacuzzi, breakfast, amazing location - will be coming back again. Thanks Dominque!

The accommodations are lovely and the homemade fresh breakfast is to die for! I love this place and will keep coming back!

Comfortable, cozy, and charming! And the homemade breakfast tray was out of this world. Definitely recommend!

quiet little cottages 1 mile from the beach

Super good! Love the breakfast ( blueberry pudding and coffee and croissant) there!

Very nice place. Quiet n peaceful. Just what I was looking for. The owner and staff made us feel at home!!

Clean, comfortable, cute room with good quality bed linens and pillows. Mini frig, good run with ample hot water & pressure. A patio to enjoy coffee in a quiet natural setting. Parking available with easy check in and check out. A calm and pleasant reprieve.

Love this place. My fiance and I had a great trip here over Labor Day weekend, and found it to be exactly what we needed. There was no noise from the neighbors, and it was an extremely peaceful getaway. Great location with easy access to State St. I recommend unloading your car and using street parking, because the parking lot can get very tight.

The cottages has the countryside ambiance which is lovely. Dominique & crew are warm and hospitable during our weekend stay. Breakfast was delicious which we opted to be served on their patio - homecooked quiche, croissant, jam, coffee, and juice. Thank you Dominique for accommodating our last minute change.

I adore this little hidden treasure just blocks away from the down town area but nestled in a vintage SB neighborhood. It is quiet, and center on its block. There is plenty of parking in the rear with access via an alley. If you are familiar with Santa Barbara you know everything you need is within walking distance. I regret not bring my bicycle to leave the noisy jeep parked the majority of the time. Dominque makes an authentic European breakfast every morning with juice, coffee, fresh fruit and a frittata. All of the villas have beautiful bathing area and some have small hot tubs. I adore the vintage styling each room comes with, very tastefully done. They also all have a bird theme. The sheets are alway clean and actually have patterns on them instead of that same lame white found in every other hotel/motel. On this occasion I had an early boat trip to this island and was going to miss breakfast. While communicating this Dominque indicated a Togo option was available and would be delivered the evening before, surprised I gratefully accepted. It was beautiful with the croissant filled with egg, did I mention there is a croissant included with every breakfast….shhhhh I think they are homemade 😉 and delicious. I would book this B&B before any other in town and as a former local I have been to them all.

(Translated by Google) Dominique was very kind and welcoming. The accommodations are great and Santa Barbara is beautiful. (Original) Dominique a été très gentille et accueillante. Les logements sont supers et Santa Barbara magnifique.

(Translated by Google) A very welcoming B&B in Santa Barbara, with a slightly bohemian atmosphere that offers a pleasant contrast to the large, impersonal hotels. The rooms are in small cottages clustered around a garden, where breakfast is served. The area is very quiet, a little removed from the city center but not too far. Your host will be happy to suggest places to visit in the region and the best restaurants to suit your tastes. (Original) Un B&B très accueillant à Santa Barbara, dans une ambiance un peu bohème qui contraste agréablement avec les gros hotels anonymes. Les chambres sont dans des petits pavillons regroupés autour d'un jardin, où le petit déjeuner est servi. Le coin est très calme, un peu à l'écart du centrev ville mais pas trop. Votre hôte saura vous indiquer les endroits à visiter de la région et les meilleurs restaurants selon vos gouts.

Got excellent service and had an amazing time staying at the Cottages. Was private and accessible to everything, which is exactly what I was looking for. Will definitely stay again next time I get to SB.

A little worn around the edges but I still give a 5 star rating because Dominique and her small crew work very hard. Room was clean, breakfast was a yummy homemade vegetable quiche, warm croissants, coffee and juice. Location was very close to all the wedding festivities we were attending. Price is very reasonable compared to other lodging options. We had a wonderful stay and would love to return. Thank you for your hospitality Dominique!

Had the loveliest stay in the Hummingbird cottage. Very peaceful and private, cozy amenities, and the homemade breakfast in the morning was AMAZING! Location was fantastic (I was in town for a wedding) and would definitely stay here again.

We experienced warm hospitality at Secret Garden Inn! Dominique & crew provided warm hospitality during our brief stay, including a delicious breakfast served on their patio. The entire property was gorgeous. We stayed in Cardinal and liked that it included a small living room. What prevents this being a perfect review was that the electric wiring should be updated, so that we can run our devices and make a pot of tea at the same time. We'll stay at Secret Garden during our next trip to SB.
