About this property

Private path to the beach out your back door! New pristine vacation rental- 3-minute walk to beaches, restaurants, shopping, wine tasting and 5-star hotels including the Miramar. You won’t find a better-located cottage to enjoy the laid-back, Euro-style Montecito lifestyle. This updated, private 1200 sq ft 3 bed 2 bath cottage is very clean with brand new, quality furnishings, amenities, and a backyard jacuzzi. The third bedroom/office is a detached converted sleep shed with no bathroom attached. (It's about 20 feet from the house). Cozy so best for a teen or single traveler. Great floorplan with room for everyone and lovely outdoor space for dining, relaxing and barbequing. Live the Miramar/Montecito lifestyle where nearby hotel rooms are $2000-$6000 per night. Near the train.

The sunny Butterfly Cottage has a beachy, modern palette with a great floor plan, quality furnishings, new light oak floors, enough seating for everyone and pretty windows and light throughout. Stainless appliances in the cook's kitchen. The primary features an extra comfortable King bed, an ensuite bathroom with a tub. The second bathroom features a queen sized bed, bay window and large closet. Desks in both rooms for working. The fully gated, wrap-around yard features a private patio with an outdoor dining area, plenty of comfortable seating, a peak of the mountains, a jacuzzi, and a BBQ. There is a private path straight to Hammonds Beach for a great sunrise and sunset viewing right out your back door where you will find an empty beach.

great home, great location, great host

Stayed here with my with, our 18-month old daughter, and my mother-in-law. The location is fantastic. The home itself was spacious and comfortable and clean. The host was helpful and communicative. Great experience.

A July 4 Getaway

This is a sweet little cottage just a short walk to the beach, with everything you could want right at your fingertips. Justine was out of town but easily reachable and very accommodating. The kitchen is fully stocked, the TV has all the premium channels, and the location is a very short walk to Coast Village Road. No complaints, only praise.

Amazing Montecito Cottage

We had an amazing time. The hosts were attentive and helpful but the cottage itself was the best. Clean modern and very comfortable. This is the best part…. Very easy walk to town for dinner drinks coffee breakfast groceries etc. Very easy walk to the beach. A few beaches actually. This is our favorite location in the area. Can’t miss. You’ll have an amazing time.

Wonderful Experience from Start to Finish!!

I loved everything about the experience of staying at this property. My teenage daughter and I found it so welcoming and proximal to all the things we wanted to do. Essential items for cooking were on hand and beach towels, charging cables, and coffee were thoughtfully placed where we could find them. I was not familiar with the area when booking, and the property owner described the location and helped me feel comfortable with my choice from the first email through the final one when we left. I hope to return again and again!

The perfect getaway

We are so happy we had the opportunity to stay in this lovely cottage for a week! We had the perfect vacation and this house along with it's location made it possible. A bonus is the outdoor space is so peaceful and acts as an extension of the house; we ate almost all our meals out there. We stayed here with our 4yr old and 2yr old so we ended up driving to the beach on most days but one would not have to. I hope we can stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Josiah and Justine Hamilton

We love Montecito (and vacations)and hope you will too! We are here if you need anything and will try to make sure your visit is special.

Why they chose this property

You will not find a better-located private vacation home with access to 3 beaches, plenty of clothing and home good shops, wine tasting and restaurants around the corner, just a five-minute walk. Coast Village Road offers multiple dining experiences from Sushi, Italian, great breakfast and coffee shops, Lucky's Famous Celebrity Steakhouse and more.

What makes this property unique

Once you arrive put away your car keys, and you will see this location can't be beat. Down a private ficus-lined lane along with 5 other cottages, the Butterfly Cottage is close to everything Montecito has to offer including 3 local beaches, dining, shopping, and plenty of outdoor trails. Feel like surfing the local’s favorite Hammonds Beach? Take the 3-minute private path out your back gate. Want to watch one of Santa Barbara’s sunsets? Walk 5 minutes to The Four Seasons Biltmore Hotel and Butterfly Beach. Or stroll over to European- inspired Coast Village Road to shop, wine taste, or choose among the many restaurants such as Lucky's, Tre Lune, and the Honor Bar to dine. End the evening with a walk to the famed Mirimar Hotel for a nightcap and a soak in your backyard jacuzzi. If you tire of Montecito, Downtown Santa Barbara is a 5-minute drive away.
Note-Everyone in Montecito hears the passenger train a few times during the day briefly. Oprah, the guests at the nearby 5 star hotels, and you will too. It runs between 7 am and 9:30 pm a handful of times. It truly isn't bad and lasts 5-10 seconds.
