The rooms were beautiful. It is near the ocean which is nice. About 15 minutes away from Santa Barbara.

$70 to park overnight is pretty outrageous given the 80 acre estate size. My Frette Italian sheets were stained...possibly because of the tar on the beach? Otherwise, the place is a high end resort with a four-story spa, and that was what I had expected for the price.
