Santa Barbara, Calif. (Sept. 25, 2024) — With the holiday season fast approaching, putting up visiting friends and family at a local hotel or vacation rental may start to sound more and more appealing than squeezing everyone into your own home. Why not stress less by booking at a local lodging property? Or even take a staycation in the South Coast to relax before the holidays swing into high gear?
Starting Oct. 1, Visit Santa Barbara is bringing back its locals-only lodging promotion, offering 30% discounts for residents from Goleta to Carpinteria who book overnight trips to the Santa Barbara South Coast. The deals apply to stays between October 2024 and early 2025 at more than a dozen properties.
Participating hotels range from luxury resorts such as The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara and Rosewood Miramar Beach to boutique hotels like Inn by the Harbor as well as bed and breakfast hotels like The Eagle Inn. Short-term rental properties from Paradise Retreats are also included. Some properties are sweetening the deal with extra perks for locals who book overnight stays, such as complimentary parking or resort credit.
Although this off-season deal is only for locals, area residents can extend the offer to their visiting friends and relatives. Dates of stay, as well as terms and conditions, vary by property, and blackout dates may apply.
