Deal Alert: Third Night Free on Some Santa Barbara Hotels, Inns and Rentals

I travel to 20+ countries a year sharing my firsthand knowledge of reward travel, travel credit card deals, travel tips and more.

It’s been two years since my family and I went to Santa Barbara, which is a real shame because it’s God’s country and only 100 miles from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). RELATED: 10 Reasons to Stay at the Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara

However, we just returned from an amazing weekend in Santa Barbara and while on our trip, I learned that Visit Santa Barbara has brought back their Third Night Free promo.
