As this is Santa Barabara's high season, for your convenience we have chosen to NOT have a block of rooms at any of the hotels to accommodate for those who may wish to use their points to book and/or utilize Airbnb/VRBO. Please note that we are recommending all guests stay near the East Beach location as the wedding venue is a 10 minute Uber to Rincon Beach Club and the Saturday Brunch/Beach Day will be at Leadbetter Beach.
