Santa Barbara has a casual relaxed feeling to it.
Santa Barbara has a casual relaxed feeling to it. A walk on the pier is a must. Free 90minute parking but walk instead. The Spanish-style architecture gives the city a unique charm. With the mountains as a background, the ocean spreads out to the west. This is a city to chill and stroll in. Most of restaurants are located on State Street, which was closed off to vehicles and was more like a pedestrian Mall on Sunday night. Not sure if it's closed for foot traffic every night. Do be aware of bikes-etc. on State Street though.Guest review byDennisUnited States - 10.0
We love the accommodations.
We love the accommodations. Never had to move our car once we got there. Food is excellent at the hotel and many options downtown also. The place we stayed also had beach chairs for our convivence.Guest review byAnonymous - 10.0

We visit and stay in Morro Bay because of the “kick-back and relax” feeling. The people are friendly and parking is never an issue. The views are beautiful and my husband loves that it is overcast for a part of most days.Guest review byAnonymous - 8.0

Ventura is a nice place to visit, and a particularly great find was the Ventura Botanical Garden. It was wonderful - beautiful plants, well maintained trails and gorgeous vistas. I would go back again any time I'm there. The admission fee was very reasonable.Guest review byDaphneUnited States - 10.0

Beautiful coastal scenery has not been spoiled by commercialism. The small town is lovely with such great restaurants and quaint interesting little shops. It has a unique character. Hope it stays that way.Guest review byDanielUnited States - 8.0
Nice quaint town for a short get away.
Nice quaint town for a short get away. It mainly has bakeries & wineries to check out within walking distance of the hotels. Everything closes like at 8-9 pm, so best to start your day early. Ostrichland, lavender farms, & other wineries are within 3-5 miles of Solvang. Hotels are old & pricey.Guest review byAnonymous - 10.0

We visited Paso, but stayed at a small vineyard, Croad, about six miles. The town has great restuarants and little shops. Both the inn and town are near hiking trails (our favorite activity). Trip to Cambria to walk the beach and a ranch hike on the ocean was outstanding.Guest review byPeterUnited States - 10.0

I love San Simeon I wish I could’ve done more while I was there. We like the laid-back vibe just resting came for my 55th birthday. Love how friendly the people are just walking down the street saying hello to you. BMWGuest review byJenniferUnited States - 8.0
Short drive to places of interest.
Short drive to places of interest. Great wine tasting area south to Buellton to Solvang, Los Olivos, Foxen Canyon wineries. Hitching Post restaurant in Casmalia for great bbq, Ellen's in Buellton for Danish pancakes, Bob's Bread in Los Alamos and Ballard for FABULOUS breads, pastries, breakfast/lunch, Pappy's in Santa Maria for casual dining, generous servings, reasonable. Drive to Guadalupe to Rancho Guadalupe Dunes Preserve, beautiful beach with a few picnic tables and a restroom.Guest review bySandraUnited States
