Perfect for UCSB Graduation
Mason Beach Inn was a great place for us to stay for our daughter’s college graduation. It was clean, quiet, and affordable. We could easily walk downtown for food, drinks, and the beach. I would definitely recommend this place!

Mason Beach Inn was comfortable and within walking distance to everywhere we wanted to go. For the price $400+/nt you’re paying for the location. Pool was nice.

Very helpful and friendly staff. We visited on a very busy 4th of July weekend. Very short walk to West beach to see the fireworks! Rooms are small but clean. I wish there weren't a mini bar in the room so I could use the refrigerator.

We stayed in a king room on the second floor, which felt more spacious with the taller ceilings. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Very clean and comfy with two free alcoholic beverages upon check in, as well as free coffee and cookies available all day. We didn’t get the chance to use the bike rentals or the pool, but enjoyed the short walk to State St and the beach. The neighborhood also felt safe. Only downsides were the shower pressure, sheets and towels were a little scratchy, and it was extra $18 for parking on the premise. Fortunately there was street parking available just keep an eye for street sweeping signs. Overall, we enjoyed our short 2 night stay as we were here for a wedding. This was one of the more affordable options in the area, and we would definitely stay here again the next time we are in SB.
