I surprised my husband with an overnight trip to Santa Barbara for a concert at the Santa Barbara Bowl. We have come down from the Bay area for concerts before, and have had mixed luck with hotels in Santa Barbara. The prices are high and we have not found the perfect place - until now. It is like a home... more

We loved the James House Santa Barbara. The rooms were very cozy, clean and nicely decorated, with especially spacious baths. Marie was very nice and hospitable and provided excellent home-cooked breakfasts that were about 3 times the food I would normally eat, but finished every bite! The social hours were equally enjoyable with good food and wine. Too bad we... more

I arrived in town so very lost! Upon calling the B&B, Marie, the proprieter, talked me through the maze of streets right to her door. What an incredible home, absolutely beautiful and welcoming. The accomadations were very comfortable and the food delicious. Marie is so dedicated to seeing that all her guests have all the information needed for dining, sightseeing,... more

We found James House Santa Barbara on Trip Advisor and chose it because it was rated #1. We were not disappointed in any way! We celebrated our 9th anniversary the day we arrived. We were delighted with our room, the Chapala Room, which was huge and had a huge bath with shower and a balcony off the bath. Marie and... more

Our hostess, Marie, was extremely helpful and a great cook as well! Breakfast was delicious and very generous. We would highly recommend this inn to anyone looking for a charming, comfortable place to stay in a... more

The James House most certainly deserves its #1 rating. The house and rooms are impeccably clean. The breakfasts are gourmet with fresh ingredients. Marie, the innkeeper is wonderful. I have stayed in many fabulous B&Bs and this is by far the best! more
