Learn more about Goleta

Forget the usual beach town clichés – Goleta delivers coastal California without the crowds. At Goleta Beach Park, locals fish from the pier while students relax on golden sand. The monarch butterfly groves at Ellwood Mesa transform eucalyptus trees into living tapestries when thousands gather. University energy flows from UC Santa Barbara into Isla Vista's buzzing streets. Zodo's offers bowling with craft beers – a California twist. Nature lovers will appreciate El Capitan State Beach's dramatic cliffs and tide pools. For a perfect afternoon, grab local tacos and head to Refugio State Beach, where dolphins often appear. The Santa Ynez Valley wine country awaits just over the hills.

Avania Inn of Santa Barbara

8/10 Good
"The room was clean for the most part but I did find hair in the shower and some stains on a towel. There was also a large crack on the shower wall but overall everything seemed clean. I did wipe down surfaces on my own to double check. I did think the TV was a bit odd as it lists Netflix, YouTube and Chromecast but upon asking Front Desk they said they are not accessible. Not a huge deal but just odd. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful though and the AC was fantastic during the heat wave."
