No matter what kind of day you've had, when you arrive at "The Hidden Cove" you will be relaxed instantly by the soothing sounds of the fountain which is nestled back in a true Cove.

When I arrived the key was awaiting me in a designated place with a warm welcome. Once I walked in I was in awe. Such a peaceful decor and The Hidden Cove was much larger than shown online. It was roomy, spacious, and provided a nice relaxing area to stretch out and plan your next move.

The Hidden Cove is equip. with a full functioning kitchen, a nice restroom, a jacuzzi tub, a breakfast area, a private bedroom, and a small separate desk in the bedroom which I used as an office while I was there.

Indeed it is a short walk to the beach. In less than 2 minutes I was there; however, the web site fails to mention one must be in good health for the four hundred flights of stairs that await you. Ok, maybe not that many stairs, but coming back up from the beach; which is truly a beautiful site and well worth the burn in the legs- it will seem like four hundred steps.

The Hidden Cove is perfect for all ages. I feel even more-so maybe for us in our late 30's who sometimes can break away with 2-3 of our old girlfriends from high school and do a girls weekend, or it's perfect for the business traveler needing to get work done as I did, but it is equally perfect for a couple just wanting to get away, relax and just be still together.

The Hidden Cove seemed to offer a peaceful soothing enviroment maybe even a touch of romance. It's so close to everything-you can go and enjoy Santa Barbara with ease. I would recommend The Hidden Cove to my friends and my family; actually, I hope to return to The Hidden Cove very soon when necessary for work.
