A White Jasmine Inn

Stayed here for a quick weekend — the owners were so incredibly kind! It was raining, so they gave us many suggestions on fun things to do instead of the beach. It is a small inn, but there was so much privacy.
The beds are also SO comfortable — 12″ tempurpedic

What a great Escape for my wife and I. Guest services are incredibly great. Room is awesome over 100 years old and you can truly feel the history here. It’s like stepping out of a time machine. The house is beautiful and kept. All the decorations and furniture is considered to keep that same feel. Our own private entrance and private yard with our own jacuzzi outside our door. Couldn’t ask for anything more and then all of a sudden they are delivering you a basket full of food for breakfast to your door. My wife and I laying in bed in the robes they provide enjoying a great breakfast to start our day. Incredible experience. Will be back for sure.

I enjoyed my stay at this B&B in the summertime suite. The breakfast was exceptional and I wished I was able to be there longer so I could have gotten a hot breakfast on both mornings. Unfortunately, I had plans early in the day so I opted for a bagged breakfast which was also good. They only do breakfast at 9 or 9:30 AM and they have wine and cookies around 4:30 to 5:30PM.

Beautiful home, great location! John was very helpful with providing info on where to go for dinner. Room (02-​Country) was very nice, comfortable bed. The remodeled bathroom was very well done. Apparently there was a heat wave. Thank God there was an AC unit in the room! The house was super hot!!! I loved the real coffee, pot, & real creamer in the room. The breakfast that was delivered was wonderful! We only stayed 1 night, but wish we could have stayed longer.

We had a great visit to a A White Jasmine Inn! Everything in Santa Barbara is so expensive, I just poured over reviews and maps, trying to find something reasonably priced, well-​reviewed and well-​located. A White Jasmine Inn is that! And, when I say reasonably price, I mean for Santa Barbara. That said, they did not force the two night minimum stay on us for a summer weekend that other B&Bs and Inns tried to, so we appreciated that. John, who greeted us, had the key and paperwork ready. Was super helpful explaining everything. Gave us some recommendations for walking over to State Street and the SB Bowl. Really nice. We selected our breakfast time at check in and it was there the next morning pretty promptly in a cute picnic basket, complete with linen placemats and napkins and a mason jar of orange juice. Just really nice and plenty of food. The corn muffin was yummy! The room was very nice and a good size, with a sort of outer sitting room and then the bedroom. We stayed in the Victorian Suite, which was not in the main house, but that was fine. It had a nice little back patio that we sat out in when we got back to the room that evening and just looked up at the stars — we don’t usually see many of them in LA! :) All in all a lovely experience. The AC worked to cool the room down initially but we didn’t need it over night. The Inn is just a couple blocks off State Street and hits it right at the Public Market and Carlito’s, so at a great spot. And it’s only about a mile walk to the Bowl. There’s plenty of street parking, so we found a spot, but if you can’t, they do offer some parking behind each of the three houses. We’d definitely stay there again!

ggrrrrr I was typing away and erased my review… here we go again.
We gifted a stay to our daughter and son in law as a gift for their wedding. we searched local hotels but ultimately this was our choice. our first at a B&B, we spoke w John by phone and he was so nice and friendly… a joker (he thinks so keep your day job; wink wink) When they arrived they had been upgraded to one of their nicer larger rooms… jacuzzi included with a view of the gardens. she said the meal/​breakfast was very good they had a wonderful stay despite being exhausted. located in a lovely part of town, with Victorian homes, and just minutes from downtown SB. Now im thinking we need to stay here and see what all the fuss is about. thanks guys you made it a memorable stay for our daughter.

We loved our stay here! Two nights was not enough. Our host was very friendly and helpful but not overbearing and no pressure to mingle though we could have if we chose to do so. We simply wanted quiet time alone and we got it! The breakfasts were delicious, delivered right to our door in a cute basket — they just tapped quietly on the door to let us know it was there. The house is lovely and our room clean and very comfortable. We stayed in the Garden Room which was quite cozy but we spent much of our time wandering around Santa Barbara. Highly recommend it and we hope to return next year!

I have never written a negative review on Unilocal.Only positive reviews. For the times that have not been great, I just don’t waste my time to say anything because it is not important enough. However, I just found an exception to my rule!
My husband and I nave stayed at a number of B & B’s in Santa Barbara for a quick weekend get a way since we live in L.A. Almost without exception, we have always had a good experiences. So, trying somewhere new in Santa Barbara, why should anything be different. Let’s give it a shot. BIG MISTAKE!!!
There are many layers to this story as to how, from the moment we arrived, there was things we were not too thrilled about, but, I will not bore you with those details. I;ll just get to the major punch that was an experience we have never encountered. Not at any luxury hotel that we have stayed and not at any B & B, anywhere, and, we have traveled a lot.
It was Valentine weekend. We were excited to get away on Valentine;s day since it fell on a weekend this year. Had a nice picnic lunch on the beach (from our favorite lunch place Jeannine’s in Monteceito.(.great place FYI) and a nice bottle of wine. Off to a great start of a weekend. After a beautiful afternoon, we head for the Jasmine Inn (wish we kept going). After our great experience checking in (sarcasm) we went to our room and, I had given my husband a box of really nice chocolates. He opened them and we each had one piece. Put the top back on the box and then the box back in the gift bag. (getting to the reason for these boring details). We went back downstairs because it was «social hour» and thought we would would say hi and meet some people. We were down stairs for maybe ½ hour and decided to go up and get ready for going to dinner (Bouchon in Santa Barbara… amazing FYI). So, back up in our room, i went to get the box of candy (just one more chocolate please) and OMG, I open the box and it is filled with ANTS! Gross and, there goes my husband’s treat (yes, and mine) and a waste of $ 45.00 with only two pieces eaten. Soooo, my husband goes down stairs with the box of candy and the ants who were doing a dance on them, and, very nicely shows the box to «John», the owner. My husband told him we were very surprised and a little disappointed since these ants had the box of chocolates that my wife bought me.
My husband said «maybe you can do a small accommodation for us or just credit us even $ 30.00 and get rid of the ants. Well, John said „he would have to think about this“. (accommodation) Not even an apology, or embarrassed or came right up to take a look at the „parade“ of ants. r My husband comes back up stairs and tells me this and I’m like, „are you kidding me“??. ;I start getting ready for our evening and a ½ hour goes by and we hear a knock on the door and it is „John“.“He has thought about it and, we do not give credits for anything. And, I don’t feel like we need to do an accommodation. This is drought season and it is normal that ants are around!!!» I kid you not! Then, he goes on to say it was probably our fault (my husband and mine) because we had candy in the room! (our candy in a box with a cover and tucked in a bag)! Not only did he still not take a look or fix the ant problem (my husband took care of it with soapy water), he still would not apologize and said, «maybe WHEN you come back, we can discount you $ 20.00!!! HUH??? Come back? You mean to your ant ridden place and to an owner who is an unprofessional jerk!!! In the meantime, BTW, the having food in the room brought the anst comment, he had a plate of cookies (greasy) open in the «parlor» on the coffee table.
From this, it started to get a little testy and, again, those details I don’t have time to write about. I feel better just letting you all know about the ants and the attitude.

We stayed in the room called the «castaway» and really enjoyed our stay. John greeted us when we arrived and he was super friendly and helpful. He really helped us to feel welcome. The room was quaint and very comfortable. The floor heater really helped keep the room warm and the fireplace was really nice. Everything seemed really clean and my favorite part was the bathtub. We are vegan and really appreciated the accommodation with the breakfast. They made us a tofu and vegetable stir fry with fruit, toast, jam, and orange juice. I highly recommend this place and look forward to returning in the future. :)

I loved our stay at the White Jasmine Inn over the Thanksgiving weekend. From the time we arrived until we left, we had a great time. The room was cozy (the Craftsman Room) and I enjoyed the small patio and the homemade delicious breakfast each morning. The innkeeper was great and providing us with information about the local area. The only issue was that the plumbing was not working for a few hours, but it gave us time to relax on the patio and enjoy the peace and quiet. The garden area is very nice and relaxing too.
Really a nice place and I look forward to going back soon!

Great B & B and hospitality from the hosts.
They were quite accommodating and informative about the local eateries and sights that were a must see. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer due to our work schedules. We definitely plan on coming back. The breakfasts were delicious & gracious in portion sizes. The décor gave a very homely yet formal ambiance which transported us back in time!
It was so nice of the inn keepers to allow us a late check out as it was our honeymoon weekend!
Thank you for helping make it memorable one.

Great inn. Stayed in the private suite. Jacuzzi, king bed and private bathroom. Nice and quiet, felt very private. Nice clean room, SUPER comfortable bed with high quality linens. Breakfast was different each day, always delicious. Included fresh fruit, OJ and a hot item.
Walking distance to downtown. Inn has a small private parking lot, so we never had to fight for street parking.
Next time we’re in SB we’ll be back.

My boyfriend and I visited in mid-​September of this year and loved everything about this place! We stayed in the garden room, which was very reasonably priced and so cute. Small, but it worked for us. Breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented in the picnic basket.
Such a romantic and peaceful atmosphere, and an amazing location close to downtown Santa Barbara. We can’t wait to come back soon!!!

Santa Barbara is our «second home». My husband & I stayed here not too long ago.
Let me apologize in advance to John (great man). You see, I told him we were so happy with the place that I’d Unilocal about it as soon as we got back… Um, that was quite some time ago and I just got around to it. I am SO sorry!
Let’s begin with the location. It’s just the right distance from State Street. I was able to walk to the yoga studio (on State Street) during our 1-​week stay with no problem. The neighborhood is lovely and quiet.
The main house has a sweet little picket fence and a rose garden out front, as did the separate house we stayed at — The Bordeaux Suite. This suite is on a separate property adjacent to the main house. It included a living room, kitchen, full bath with Roman tub and a sitting area between the bedroom and bath. More than enough space for 2. This house had it’s own charming entrance with a paved stone path and cute little porch where you could enjoy breakfast, if desired. We would often sit on the porch in the afternoons with a glass of wine…:sigh:
The breakfast provided here is wonderful. You can choose within their breakfast hours at what time you’d like it delivered. It comes in a picnic basket with linens and silverware. Plenty of orange juice and coffee. The omelette and fresh fruits were delicious, as were the baked goods. It changes slightly everyone morning, but you still get your basic staples daily.
Staying here felt like home, and that is precisely what we were looking for! We mingled with some neighbors and got to «live» in Santa Barbara for a week.
We are due to visit again very soon, and will be staying with John at the White Jasmin Inn.

We have stayed at White Jasmine twice now on some weekend and overnight trips to Santa Barbara.
First of all, the owner/​operator is such a nice guy, really helpful and gave us lots of good recommendations for things to do in SB. The Inn is located very close to State st. and all the restaurants, bars, theatres, and shops in that area. I’m talking walking distance close. We walked from the SB Bowl back to the Inn after a concert in about 15 mins.
The inn itself is a beautiful older building with lots of vegetation surrounding it on a quiet street. The rooms are very charming and cozy. Very clean and well maintained. Wireless is available. Whirlpool jacuzzi baths are a plus. Beds are soft and comfy.
The breakfasts are VERY good and delivered hot and right on time.
We’ve been very happy with our experiences at the White Jasmine Inn and plan to visit again.

The husband and I went on an informal mini honeymoon last August and we stayed at the Nouveau suite. This was our first B&B experience so we didn’t know what to expect. We paid good money to stay in this residence and I’m so glad we did. It definitely exceeded our expectations. We had our own private entrance, jacuzzi, fireplace… The room was huge and very clean. The jacuzzi, although outside the room, was very private.
This B&B is located near where everything’s happening at SB. There are a lot of younger college kids rooming the streets, doing their thing, so it was nice to head to our room and get some piece and quiet at the end of the night.
I’m a sucker for flowers and the gardens were just so pretty to look at. They leave breakfast at your doorstep in the morning. You choose which time you want to have it, 8 or 9 I believe are the times. One discrete door knock away and breakfast is served. Breakfast was so delicious. We truly enjoyed it. We knew we were gonna get freshly squeezed orange juice so we brought our own champagne.
In the afternoons, there were snacks at the main house: cheese, crackers, fruit, wine… What a delight! This place made our trip that much more memorable and ‘romantic’… ;)

The White Jasmine Inn in Santa Barbara is amazing.
They had a room available short notice and were happy to help me get sorted out. Accommodated my late arrival since I live far away.
Pretty place.
Quiet, clean, pretty rooms with a huge bathtub and fireplace.
The fireplace I couldn’t figure out, it was late so I think if I came earlier the innkeeper would have given me a tutorial, but the day didn’t go as planned or hoped.
How happy was I to see that big bed all for me!
The bed was comfy and breakfast arrived in a picnic basket at my door.
HEAVEN. :)
Helpful innkeepers.
I am so coming back.

Just returned from a 2 night stay in the Craftsmen Room. The owner, John, was friendly and welcoming. I loved the unique room we stayed in. The private entrance was great and we enjoyed the private spa on the patio. The bed was amazing and the sheets were incredibly soft.
One downside was the small bathroom, but that didn’t bother me at all. We are small people so I appreciated the unique layout of the bathroom, but I could see it upsetting some larger people. Also, we arrived on a cold night and the room was freezing and it took the heater hours to warm up the room. It would have been nice to have the room heated prior to arriving.
I really loved how breakfast was brought to our door in a cute basket. Most B&B’s we stay at serve breakfast in the common area. The food was very yummy!
The location was perfect as we could easily walk to State Street. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Stayed in the Victorian Suite, across the way from the main B&B house during the post-​Labor Day part of September. Paid over $ 200/​night with an advance reservation. Bottom line: I’m sorry Ms. Jasmine, but you were overpriced for what you are.
Indeed, the room was Victorian cute. Some things, however, weren’t. For example, the bathroom was about 2′ wide and 8′ long, and that wasn’t cute at all. It had a head at one end and a squished-​in shower at the other. There was no room for a sink in the bathroom, so they put one a couple of feet from the bed, thereby leaving no room for a bedside table for the person who slept on that side of the room.
No bedside table /​no bathroom sink in the bathroom (and with mediocre breakfasts (but it did have nice freshly squeezed OJ and fruit cup)) made the place worth around $ 150. .. not over $ 200.
So look, I know Santa Barbara’s over-​priced and for a little over $ 200 we didn’t expect the San Ysidro Ranch, but no bedside table and a closet for a bathroom isn’t the kinda «cute» you wanna experience anywhere, let alone on a romantic SB wknd.

Quaint B&B.
Pros
— super comfy bed, really fluffy and comfy pillows
— super cute grounds
— nice ground keepers
— yummy cookies
— plentiful coffee and tea
Cons
— tiny bathroom! Like 2×2 shower with hardly any room to turn around!
— a few things are outdated
— tv was old, needed upgrade
— breakfast was subpar. A warm croissant with fruit. Not that impressive
— kinda expensive for a B&B ($ 200+)
