If you're looking to avoid renting a car, you can fly directly into Santa Barbara Airport (SBA) and use Ubers to get around town. Pretty much everything in Santa Barbara proper is accessible within a 10-minute drive, and the city is also highly walkable if you'd like to get your steps in.

If you're up for renting a car, you could take the scenic route by flying into Los Angeles and driving up to Santa Barbara. It's typically about a 1 hour 45 minute drive from LA to Santa Barbara, and the US-101 highway route offers a gorgeous coastal view.

We have room blocks reserved with two hotels in the area. We picked these hotels to try to cater to as wide of a budget range as the area allows, since Santa Barbara becomes a destination city in the summer months.

If a hotel isn't for you, scroll farther down for some info about Airbnb and VRBO options in the SB area!
