Our Take: Recent guests say the Harbor View Inn's location is its main selling point. Located at the entry to Stearn's Wharf, the property is a short walk from downtown Santa Barbara and across West Cabrillo Avenue from the beach. According to visitors, the staff—particularly the concierge—is eager to help you enjoy your time in Santa Barbara and will plan activities and meals for you. Every room has a private patio or balcony to allow guests to breathe in the sea air. And outside their quarters, guests can be found lounging poolside or in Spa Beaumontia. Travelers also give the informal, on-site Eladio's Restaurant & Bar positive reviews for its tasty breakfasts and waterfront locale.
