Travel Info

Santa Barbara is a known as the American Riviera, you can expect a bustling yet laid back beach town with lots of Spanish flair. Since our venue is in downtown Santa Barbara right on the water there are lots of hotels nearby. We've recommended a few below. There is lots to do in SB so pack your adventure clothes and a good attitude! Let us know if you’d like specific advice on any options you might be researching on your own.

Flight

SBA, LAX, SFO

For flights, Santa Barbara (SBA) is the most convenient airport and only about 15 minutes from anywhere you might stay in the region. Los Angeles (LAX) is a 1.5 hr drive, or $45 SB Airbus ride up the beautiful Pacific Coast. If you want to see Big Sur or vacation in classic San Francisco, SFO, OAK, or SJO are the big Bay Area options though it's about a 5hr drive from Santa Barbara at minimum.

House Or Rental

AirBnb & VRBO

AirBnb and VRBO could also be a good option for anyone visiting as a group!

Rental Car

National / Enterprise Rent-A-Car

There is an option to get a discount using a code from Teresa Shafer with National/Enterprise Rental Cars. Reach out to us for more info.

This is a great bargain spot right on the water and near the venue, but you will want to call them directly to book rather than doing so online as they are implementing a new booking system currently.
