Great Property
Very clean, bright and convenient to Butterfly Beach, Santa Barbara and Montecito. We thoroughly enjoyed both the inside and outside living space. We would definitely stay again!

Very enjoyable stay!
Very nice home. Great proximity to beaches and town. One thing to note is that mobile signal is a bit weak, although we found that to be true in many parts of Santa Barbara and Montecito. We would highly recommend this home.

Great House and Location
My wife and I rented this nice house for about 2-weeks as a getaway from winter back east. It was perfect for us - great 1-floor layout; large and very well equipped kitchen ; three good bedrooms with two spacious bathrooms; excellent outdoor spaces with two sitting areas and a great dining area with gas grill. There are two TV viewing areas with cable plus Netflix and Hulu. The location is really good - only a 5-minute walk to a beautiful beach which was surprisingly uncrowded. Only two small drawbacks - the Wi-Fi was quite slow and occasionally cut out entirely; and the “half-bath” is actually a toilet in the laundry room. But overall, a really nice place where we would definitely return

A perfect spot
Really nice place with a huge kitchen/casual eating area where we spent a lot of our time. In warmer months the back yard sitting area would be a joy - a bit too cold for us in early Jan. Location is perfect - easy walk to Butterfly beach, short drive to canyon trailheads and Coast Road Montecito restaurants and shops all within easy reach. Had a wonderful stay!

Beach & restaurants & shops
We loved this Montecitohome for our mini family reunion vacation. The house functioned well: roomy laundry room; full kitchen; outdoor dining was lovely; outdoor fireplace was cozy; and plenty of room to spare for privacy if needed. The location of the home was terrific - short walk to the beach (it would be nice to have a beach chair or two; although there were a couple beach towels in each bedroom); so close to shops & restaurants on Coastal Village it was easy to walk or drive. And the drive to Santa Barbara is shorter than I expected. Everything was relatively close. I would rent this house in a heartbeat. It's nicely appointed and comfortable. Only downside was the TV remote was not easy to use; some of the accounts / apps did not work.

Beautiful, modern home in a quiet neighborhood within fabulous Montecito.
This home has been wonderfully modernized and is spectacular for indoor/outdoor life. It is located near Highway 101, but you cannot hear the freeway from the home or yard. The incredible kitchen is well appointed and perfectly designed for family & friends to gather. We definitely want to return!!!

Comfortable house in Montecito
We booked this home at the last minute and were pleasantly surprised. We travel often to the Santa Barbara area- at least five times a year- but normally stay in a hotel. The house is great: furnishings are new and beds and linens comfortable. The outdoor areas are the best thing about the house; we ate breakfast on the patio and enjoyed a glass of wine by the fire outside. The location can’t be beat-easy access to the 101, the beach, a bike ride to downtown SB, close to the lower village shops and restaurants- really convenient to everything we wanted.

Nice house, good location.
The house was very nice and essentially new. The location near the Beach and Biltmore are perfect. Unfortunately the technology was on the blink and not working properly. You need to have Sling and bring all your passwords! The other odd thing is that there is no door on the master bathroom!
