rainy days in paradise

We’d planned our stay in Montecito to take advantage of the outdoors, wanting to walk along the beach, hike in hills, etc. The cottage seemed perfectly designed for outdoor living with its french doors and lovely yard. Unfortunately, the Santa Barbara area was hit with a horrendous December storm and we spent most of our holiday inside. The cottage was still lovely, with the large modern TV offering much entertainment and the beautiful bedroom offering cozy respite from the weather. We did manage to get some dog walks in, walking up the road, which is beautiful and peaceful. Would definitely stay here again.

great birthday weekend getaway

what was especially nice about this property in Montecito, unlike so many other choices was that it was not near the freeway

About the host

Hosted by Todd and Annette Waltze

We purchased this property in 2017 and have been busy renovating it since then. This guest cottage is our most recent success. We are so proud of it and want to share it with our guests. We live in the main house full time. The guest cottage is completely private and neither of us will even know each other are there, but you can rest assured that we are right there to help with any issues you may encounter, large or small.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property because of its classic California ranch style, the beautiful oak trees and the large 1 acre flat useable lot allows for gardens everywhere, which we just love.
