The Marlowe Garden Suite - Vintage Luxury at the Beach - Hotel Amenities
Tucked away in greenery, the Garden Suite is an airy hideaway in the heart of Santa Barbara. Surrounded by lush plants and featuring its own private garden patio and a front porch with a view of the Santa Ynez mountains, this serene retreat lets you enjoy California’s outdoor lifestyle in total tranquility . Despite feeling like a secret hideaway, it’s only steps from the ocean and a short walk to downtown Santa Barbara’s attractions – truly the best of both worlds. Inside, the Garden Suite charms you with a king-size bed, restored vintage furnishings, and even a working record player for a touch of nostalgic leisure (flip through our curated vinyl collection and savor the retro vibes) . The interior décor brings the outside in, with botanical accents and soft coastal colors, creating a calming space to relax and recharge. A full kitchen is provided so you can whip up breakfast to enjoy on the patio or chill local wine for an evening under the stars. Like all four of the Marlowe suites, you’ll have high-speed wireless internet and plush amenities, yet the Garden Suite’s magic lies in its peaceful, natural ambiance – your own little garden oasis by the beach. For honeymooners, nature lovers, or anyone seeking a rejuvenating escape, the Garden Suite offers a boutique Santa Barbara experience that is like a trip to Santa Brabara’s past.
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.
