This house is magical! We used it as a relaxing weekend with many places to sit and read study (college and grad students with us) or listen to gentle piano music. Beds were very comfortable! Outdoor is just gorgeous and the proximity to beach and downtown Montecito is perfection! I was worried about train noise but it was not an issue at all. Sandra has thought of everything

Hi Nathan... I'm sorry there was a problem with the Wi-Fi... I have Special service with cox cable and I would have been happy to call them to come fix it.... I will call them a s a p but I was wondering if you could give me a little more information so they can pinpoint what went on..... If the wifi did that during your whole visit or intermittent.... Or if it kept dropping...ect. ... Also I will be sending you a $250 Through VRBO For the inconvenience. Thank you very much. Sandra ☺️
