I had guests coming in from out of town (I live in Santa Barbara) and I'm in the process of a re-model so we put them up here. It was so charming. There are bicycles to use, they have a wine social in the evening, it's close to the beach and the host of the B&B was very attentive to...

We missed the apparently popular wine social as we were out sailing, and the inn itself fell short of our expectations. The room was very small- just a bed (which was uncomfortable) and a couple of small tables. There is literally nothing to do and nothing near by, and you don't want to sit in your room and look at...

The Inn itself is quite nice. The location is lacking since it is next to two motels (one is Motel 6). Plenty of parking. Breakfast is ok. The room was clean, large and with plenty of storage for clothing. Bed was comfortable. Evening social time furnished time and place to share with other guests and host. We had an enjoyable...

Nice place and I would stay there again. They add a nice touch by hosting a nightly wine social from 5 to 6 pm. Nice way to meet other folks that are staying at the B&B. Good time to share information about Santa Barbara.
We stayed in the Santa Rosa Suite....the Suite was clean and neat and although the B&B...

Nice review and we would read it again! Our favorite activity with guests is definitely the wine social, a casual hour with snacks and drinks. It's the time when most guests meet one another and the Innkeeper really has time to get personal with guests and give them insight to Santa Barbara's happenings. Guests often find better places to eat...

I stayed at this B&B about 12 years ago and it was great! So, when I had to return to Santa Barbara, I looked it up and on the website it appeared as though it was still great!
Unfortunately, things began to slip from there onwards. I never received a confirmation email, despite leaving two phone messages. When I arrived...

Decent review that prompts us to trim up the edges!! Thank you for taking the time to give us some great feedback. I believe you stayed in our Santa Rosa Suite, the next room we plan to refurbish (new wallpaper, linens, and a new tv). We recently switched to a more efficient system for guest confirmations, etc. in order to...

We spent two days and nights here and had a great time. Our room was spotless and the bed very comfy. The breakfasts were delicious and we were always up very early and could make our own pot of coffee in the main room. We used the bikes which were a little shabby, but worked just fine. The wine and...

Calming and happy review! Thank you for the compliments! Looks like our replacing beds and linens suited your needs. We are almost finished doing this in every room, we plan to finish the 2 remaining rooms this winter. The bikes do have character and are simple beach cruisers but as you said, they get the job done. Yes, the train...

We spent labor day weekend at the OYCI. We were lucky to find it. It was FAR more reasonable in price and offered more character and amenities than the sterile hotels down the street. We booked easily on the phone, and our room key and welcome envelope were available for us as we arrived VERY late. Delicious breakfasts, vegetarian, which...

This was a review that had character! You seem to have thoroughly enjoyed all of our amenities and little "extras" we do for guests. We always offer our "to go" breakfast when we know guests are not able to eat during our breakfast hour (8:30-9:30am daily). We also leave keys in our secure lockbox after hours for guests who are...

We enjoyed a two-night stay here. They have parking away from the street, a nice sunny patio area with tables and seating, great breakfast. They let guests use bikes, which is a wonderful thing to do in Santa Barbara. The house is quite old, the rooms a touch musty, and the decor Victorian-like, so don't expect sleek and modern. But...

Decent Review with the perfect feedback that allows us to share some news with you and future guests!! We are thrilled you enjoyed the bikes, the food and the great patio we have for guests. Yes, our historic home makes for some older decor and the house certainly comes with character, but you are right, you know exactly what you...

Just returned home a few hours ago, and the very first thing I wanted to do was write a review for this B & B. The negative reviews are soooooo incorrect, and do such a disservice to the establishment and the owners... but most of all,to the folks who would miss out on a lovely stay in this wonderful place....

The Honest Truth about your review... We thank you sincerely for pointing out some things in other reviews that we also feel are not quite an accurate depiction of our property, our guests' experience and what we strive for. We do our best to upgrade guests, do a little something extra, accommodate any special requests and go above and beyond...

My wife and I were very excited to have a weekend to ourselves, to celebrate our wedding anniversary. When I saw the Screaming Deals voucher for a weekend at The Old Yacht Club Inn, I thought that would be a great place to get away for a few days without the kids and relax by the beach.
After I had...

All reviews are helpful for both the property and future guests. I think we have sorted out all of the kinks with the Screamin Deal Voucher since this incident. We were dealing with people not understanding the fine print, along with our own internal process for honoring the voucher in the high season for people who really wanted to stay...
