Fess Parker's Resort is literally across the street from the beach where you can rent bikes, walk on the strand or simply sink your feet into the sand.
For those of you who don't know, this resort is pet friendly for all dog sizes. Although I didn't bring my dog, I noticed several cute dogs in the beautifully designed lobby and asked if dogs where allowed. They replied that all dogs, regardless of size were permitted to stay at the resort. Needless to say, I'll be bringing along my dog the next time I'm in Santa Barbara.
Pros: Beach, Pool, Service
