House Or Rental
Airbnb is a great way to rent an apartment or home by yourself or with a group! Hotels can get expensive in the area so we recommend checking Airbnb if you want to feel like a local during your stay in Santa Barbara. Feel free to ask us about what neighborhoods to look at. Make sure to check the cancellation policy on your rental as they can differ from one property to the next.
Train
There is an Amtrak station right in Downtown SB. Pros: It's cheap and you don't have to worry about driving. Cons: It does NOT stick to a normal (East Coast) Amtrak schedule so you should arrive early and expect to depart late.
Flight
Santa Barbara has a small airport (SBA) that's a 15 minute ride from Downtown SB. Though flights directly to SBA could be more expensive, we recommend flying in if you're short on time (or you just want to get here!). Connections are usually available through SF, LA, Denver, and Seattle, though COVID has impacted the frequency of some routes more than others. From LAX: Rather than taking a connecting flight, you can rent a car, or take the SB Airbus or an Amtrak train to SB. For departures, please arrive at LAX at least 2 hours prior to your departure time and factor in LA traffic with any travel. From SFO: If you want to drive down to SB from the Bay, we recommend detouring through Big Sur for amazing views!
