I love staying in hotels. The crisp, clean linens that magically appear anew each day, the perfectly manicured gardens and grounds, and the smiling faces ready to grant my every wish are a delightful departure from everyday life.
When I heard about a house for sale in Santa Barbara at 428 Corona Del Mar, I looked up the location and thought, “Wait, there are only hotels in that neighborhood.” I was partly correct. As a local, unless I’m going to the zoo or East Beach, it’s an area that I rarely visit. This part of the waterfront district is populated mostly by quaint inns and hotels that play part-time home for tourists.
