Overview

Cliff House Inn is located in Carpinteria, CA and is a short distance from Lake Casitas Recreation Area and Park, Santa Barbara Museum Of Art, Coral Casino Beach & Cabana Club, many of the area’s vineyards, the famous Area 51, and more. Santa Barbara is the nearest city and its airport is only 23 miles from the hotel. Just moments from the Inn, however, is Carpinteria State Park, the lovely Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve with its must-walk trail along the edge of water, and the world famous Tar Pits park with its ocean walks and its remarkable asphalt lakes.

Though the waterfront inn offers private beach access, it also has a long list of equally appealing amenities that include its signature, award-winning restaurant serving lunch and dinner daily, business services, banqueting and meeting facilities, free daily breakfast (continental style), free parking, an enormous outdoor pool complex with towel service, picnic and barbecue areas, a vending area, and multi-lingual staff.

Rooms range from queen to deluxe rooms, and all will feature amazing sea or beach views, unique décor and furnishings, a large and private ensuite bath, high-end linens and toiletries, a direct-dial phone, a work desk or a dining area, climate controls, blackout curtains, and a modern entertainment system.

Whether it is to look at the area’s colleges, enjoy a beachfront holiday, or a bit of both, the amenities and setting of the Cliff House Inn in Carpinteria, CA makes it a great choice for all kinds of travelers.

Krista, Oct 2015
Pros (+) The location was unbeatable! The price was affordable. Love the free breakfast!
Cons (-) The rooms are outdated. There's no A/C which is necessary even with the ocean breeze. The beds, pillows and mattresses are very uncomfortable. A mattress topper would solve this problem and new linens. Our bed didn't have a fitted sheet.
