Loved our stay here! The place was clean and had everything we needed. It’s in a great location, right next to the beach and just a short walk to downtown. Hosts were responsible and the check in/out process was smooth. Would absolutely come stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place in Santa Barbara!

Lovely stay in great location!

We enjoyed our stay at the Marlowe immensely! We were walkable to almost everything we wanted to do, including the beach. The hosts were gracious and helpful. The property was well stocked and comfortable.

The Marlowe was in the perfect location in Santa Barbara! Close to beach, State st, Funk Zone, and train station. The Vista Suite was well appointed, impeccably clean, and beautifully decorated …felt like I stepped back in time. Highly recommend!

Perfect place! Spacious and convenient. Beautiful decor. We walked all around Downtown SB and to the beach. Near the train station so my only rec would be to bring ear plugs for those early morning trains :)

Unbeatable location, accommodating host, very nice space!

The property itself is very reasonable for the price listed - it felt very spacious for two people. Well equipped kitchen and nicely furnished overall. The location is great too, with very short walks to the beach or to State Street. And our hosts were very receptive and accommodating to our every request! I can't recommend this highly enough.

beautiful apartment

I loved staying here it's in an amazing location close to the beach and close to cute restaurants and bars. SB is such a safe place to walk around. The apartment is very very clean a little modern vintage feel. My friend and I used the bedroom and the pullout couch. the pullout couch was very comfortable! the mattress was some type of Tempurpedic. the bedroom is so cute and the bed was very comfortable. 10/10 would recommend! will be rebooking this anytime I take a trip to SB.

Sweet little apartment

We had a great stay at the marlowe, it felt like our own little home close to everything in Santa Barbara. We walked everywhere. Super coose distance to the beach and the funk zone. All appliances are new and modern but with a really cool vintage look.If you like a firmer pillow bring your own, that would be my only “complaint”.It is right next to the train station which can be a little loud but it didn’t really bother us. Gardening is on tuesday so be aware that there is noise.
