8/10
Very quaint and private, cottage is surrounded by oaks and a fence/hedge blocking the street. Interior was perfectly clean, new fresh towels and linens. King mattresses were too firm but the pillows were wonderfully soft, and there were firmer pillows available. Bathroom is tiny, not enough counter space, but it is fresh, new and shower tile appears brand new. There was some rattling of the bedroom windows in the middle of the night, had to use my earplugs when it woke me up. Very natural setting, and there are a lot of dropped leaves but not a problem at all to us. There is some home construction in the neighborhood and someone, probably construction worker, left their bag of trash on top of this property’s trash cans, which were out when we arrived and remained out.Sunroom is very hot, but the house was cool and comfortable, and there is a space air conditioner available but we didn’t need it.Small detail: Address is very very difficult to find, painting it white would help.Neighborhood is very upscale, but is near the freeway and train tracks. We did not hear freeway noise inside, and the sound of the very infrequent trains was actually nice. There were no trains at night while sleeping. We walked to the beautiful Rosewood miramar resort for a beachfront meal and drinks. Location is very convenient for driving to Montecito shops and Santa Barbara.
