    Best Dog-Friendly Motel

    Rooms are spacious, some with kitchenettes. Across the street is wonderful grass area for your pup to do his business. FYI, they are remodeling so will be closed starting in October.

    Great location

    Right across from the beach/State Park, 1 mile from the Wharf/State Street. Room was clean, comfortable, staff friendly. This is a small hotel but it met our needs.

    Very accommodating

    Right in the heart of everything. Beach, food choices, and a great place for dogs to stay! We had a unique experience at this small little inn and we had to cut our trip short. Never got to use the pool, but we will next time we visit in a couple of months. Friendly staff all the way around. Found our new place to stay in Santa Barbara!

    Great location

    Nice little hotel close to everything. Easy to just step out the door and in a few steps have access to potty location.

    No designated pet area

    Even though there was no designated pet area, there is a park just across the street and a whole beach and park 1 block away. We loved our stay there.

    Outstanding location and service

    Not a single thing to complain. Coffee and Tea were ready each morning and rooms were clean and comfortable. Pool was also outstanding.

    Great hotel to stay at with a dog!

    Great Experience

    Great view, close to the beach and right next to a park which made the early morning bathroom room a breeze!

    Fun at the Beach

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Blue Sands Inn. The check in process was simple and when we got to our room you could smell the bleach they clean with so we know it had been disinfected. The room was adorable with a boho vibe and we loved that it was almost right across from the beach with a park across the side street for our pups to do their business in. Overall a great experience and we will be back when we head back to the Santa Barbara area.

    PERFECTION

    This motel has been remodeled from tip to tree and is really cute California or Bohemian vibe. The location can not be beat with a park right across the street for the dog. If you want to cross the busier street at the corner you are right on the beach. Really lovely motel and the staff was great. We will definitely return here any time we are in Santa Barbara.

    Great location!

    Loved It

    Such a cute and comfortable place to stay with our dachshund. Clean too. Loved the decor and simplicity of the room. We had a nice little view from our windows in the upstairs corner room. Great location to enjoy the beach and walking distance to the Wharf and restaurants too. The park is just across the street for walking the dog or middle of the night potty runs.
