    December 29, 2012

    Our 5 star stay started at the time of our reservation. The Innkeeper took her time to place us in the room that fit our comforts and needs. She referred us to "off the beaten path" restaurants and wineries. Service continued in this manner through departure. Excellent food, staff and service. Charming property just a block to the ocean, bike path & trolley. We'll be back again and again!

    My husband and I stayed for three nights and had a wonderful time! We've stayed at other B & Bs in Santa Barbara over the years, but they've all become so expensive. The OYCI has a terrific location, away from the noise of downtown but close enough for an easy bike ride to State Street. The neighborhood is quiet, parking easy, and our room was very comfortable. The staff was also terrific. Breakfast was good (but not spectacular), but the evening cookies made up for the so so breakfast.

    Innkeeper Response
    Thank you for the review! We hope you took advantage of one of our specials for the return trip! We will do our best to make the breakfast more than just so so by the time you get back and appreciate you pointing it out to us so we may continue to improve the Inn for our guests. Those cookies get em every time! Our location and the available transportation options make it convenient to get around town and see all that Santa Barbara has to offer with a little feel of home tucked away a block from the beast in the East Beach neighborhood. We have on and off street parking for guests. We are happy you enjoyed your room as well. Thank you for the review and feedback and we'll see you soon! Cheers, -The Innkeepers

    We just celebrated our 20th anniversary at the Old Yacht Club Inn and enjoyed it very much. We used the bikes they provide to ride up to the Mission (a bit of a trek, but we did it!). We also biked to Stern's Wharf. We enjoyed our room, visiting with the staff and other guests, and the food. Oh my, the food was delicious! We enjoyed breakfast and wine/hor dourves. We were treated so well. When I asked for the granola recipe, they kindly sent it to me. So yummy. This inn is only a short block to the beach and we would gladly come again.

    Innkeeper Response
    Loved your review, it was great! Happy Anniversary to you; we are thrilled we were able to help make it a happy and memorable celebration! You biked all the way to the mission on our beach cruisers? Way to go! Santa Barbara is very bike-friendly and it's a great way to see a little more of the city. We are thrilled you enjoyed the food so much you even asked for our granola recipe. We have some of our recipes on our website and our Facebook page, delicious and easy to follow. Thank you so much for the review and feedback. Cheers and congratulations to you! Here's to another 20 and maybe celebrating back at the Old Yacht Club Inn again! -The Innkeepers

    A bit disappointed

    July 02, 2012

    We recently spent a night at the OYCI. We were in one of the suites in the next house. The pictures on the web site were a far cry from what we actually saw. The room was very bland, pale or mint green walls with a plain off white bedspread. The "sitting room" had a bumpy day bed and was also shabbily furnished. The bathroom was more pleasant....It had wallpaper with a small pink print. The room looked like it had been cleaned but when I got down on the floor to check under the bed for items of ours, there was dust and a few pieces of paper ....I guess housekeeping missed that part. The ceiling fan worked but the lights could only be turned off by unscrewing the bulbs - same thing with the bedside lights. The suite just needs some TLC - little decorating touches that matches the pictures on the website. The hospitality was nice and it was enjoyable meeting the other guests.

    Innkeeper Response
    A bit improved! We are in the process of updating our website with new photos from the recent remodel and redecoration and much needed TLC of the Santa Cruz Suite. We got a new day bed that has a trundle to an extra person may sleep there if needed. We also took off the remaining wall paper to match the more contemporary feel we are trying to give our Hitchcock House. New paint and a new tv make it quite lovely! Also, the light fixtures are new energy efficient ones so some of them are turned on and off by a simple touch or flip of a switch. If you were unsure how they worked, we would have certainly helped you had we known! This is why we love the B&B feel; the Innkeeper is available all day to assist guests with their needs, concerns, etc. We have an "open door policy". We have spoken to the housekeeping staff to make sure they always check under the beds, thank you for the info. Thank you for the review and helpful feedback. Regards, -The Innkeepers

    May 26, 2012

    This was our our first stay at a bed and breakfast. The house was charming, our room (Cottage Room) was private and very comfortable. We loved how comfortable the bed was! We loved the wine and cheese socials as well as the chocolate chip cookies that were provided for us the first night. The second night we had chocolate dipped strawberries. Breakfast was delicious as well. We met some very nice and interesting people from other countries that were also staying at the Inn. Situated so close to the beach, it was easy to walk there each day. We loved sitting outside on the large porch..definitely relaxing! We would most definitely stay here again sometime in the future.

    Innkeeper Response
    Loved it! What a great review! We are so happy your first B&B experience was enjoyable and was a good fit. It is nice to have the privacy of the cottage while still being able to meet other guests at breakfast (where we serve a variety of gourmet dishes) and at the evening wine social (where guests enjoy light snacks and delicious treats). The beach being so close is a great amenity for our guests; we also provide guests with beach towels, chairs and body boards. We hope to see you next time you visit beautiful Santa Barbara!

    Awesome place!

    April 23, 2012

    My wife and I stayed for one night in March 2012 and had a great time. It was our first time at a B-n-B, and didnt know what to expect. The experience is one we will always cherish. The food was outstanding, but I think our favorite was the cheese n wine social. We also took advantage of the free bike rentals, we took a little stroll to a local market that had great local produce n fruit. The room was bigger than I thought and had a unique charm to it. The innkeeper Jasmin was awesome n the people we talked to were great. Were definitely coming back!

    Innkeeper Response
    This review is one we will always cherish! We are so happy to see that your first B&B experience was a happy one! Sounds like it suited you well. We love our perks and "home" like feel. Santa Barbara is a great town to walk, bike and see. It has such charm and a truly local feel, even with all the visitors. The Wine Social is one of our favorites too, perfect transition from daytime to evening activities! We look forward to seeing you again and have given Jazmin your excellent feedback as well; she is fantastic! Cheers, -The Innkeepers

    Delightful weekend!

    February 26, 2012

    We really enjoyed our weekend at the Old Yacht Club Inn. Met some very nice guests that we fould ourselves visiting with over wine and breakfasts. It was fun hearing about the different room. We found the food very good, the room bright clean and the bed very comfortable! Being so close to the beach make our romantic walks even better. We will be recommending the Inn to our friends!

    Innkeeper Response
    We really enjoyed your review! We love to hear guests tell us they really embraced the Bed & Breakfast interactions with guests and Innkeepers. This is why we not only do our full gourmet breakfast in the morning, but we also host a wine social in the late afternoon/early evening, so people may visit and meet others and every once in a while, they continue their new friendships after check-out! Each room at the Inn has its own style and charm, people return and try a different one each time or stay in the same room they fell in love with over and over. Thank you, again, for the review and recommendation to your friends. We hope to see you again. Best, -The Innkeepers

    Cottage Room

    November 12, 2011

    My wife and I are big fans of the Old Yacht Club B&B and we've stayed there several times. We tried the cottage room this time, and loved the room, especially the fireplace, but have one problem with it. There was no hot water for the "state of the art" whirlpool tub. I should say there was only enough hot water to fill the tub about 4 inches. The tub was the main reason we picked the room, the same reason we like the castellamarie (sp?) room. We love the place and we're only giving this less than satisfactory review to alert the owners to the problem.

    Innkeeper Response
    Thank you so much for the review and feedback. We repaired the tub in late winter and are happy to say it's a HOT tub now! The Cottage is a great room and we are thrilled one of it's main attractions, the 2 person whirlpool tub is top notch. Thank you again and see you on your next visit. Take advantage of one of our specials when you rebook (listed on our website). Regards, -The Innkeepers
