Amazing house and hospitality

We had a chance to stay at the house for a week, and would have loved to stay longer! Ample space, fantastic views and the pool was ideal for the kids. Tons of outdoor entertaining space as well. Would absolutely return again! Also, our hosts were exceedingly gracious and welcoming - one of the best experiences we’ve had.

Fabulous home & location

This home was exactly as described and a perfect getaway while visiting family. Many homes you rent feel sterile - not this one. You feel right at home immediately. And the view…it was amazing, as was the owner’s communication. We look forward to returning again.

House is amazing. Much, much bigger and more interesting than the pictures show. Incredible design details. The location is great - views and privacy - We had no trouble getting Ubers into town and back.

Spectacular Getaway!

Our stay in Montecito was spectacular. The property was expansive so that two very active small grandkids and four adults could all partake in their preferred activity without negatively impacting others. The pool was great for an afternoon swim after sightseeing or beach time. The views were amazing during the day and also at night when relaxing by the firepit. It was all we wanted and more.....and would certainly like to come back.

Paradise

Our family had the most wonderful 3 night getaway in this stylish and comfortable home. It is spacious, private and beautifully designed with multiple gorgeous outdoor spaces and a great pool. The beds were incredibly comfortable, the bathrooms and kitchen were modern and well appointed. Vanna was responsive and a great communicator and has thought of everything one would want and need on a vacation. Highly recommend!

Luxurious Weekend Haven

Three couples came down for the weekend to celebrate my wife's birthday. We loved the place: the stunning views, the wonderful gardens, the relaxing pool! We enjoyed breakfast each morning in the waterfall garden and watched the sun set over pre-dinner drinks on the deck. Four days was not enough... we didn't want to leave!

Jetliner Views in a Mid-Century Gem-box

Stayed here with a group of longtime friends for a getaway in Santa Barbara. The house had plenty of space for all 6 of us, is well provisioned and equipped - but the jewel in this crown is the humongous deck with killer views. We will hopefully be back.

Montecito paradise

I cannot say enough about this property and its location. The floor to ceiling windows in all rooms mean you are captivated by the stunning views of the Pacific which are only bettered when you go on to the beautiful decking area. The house feels like home as soon as you enter and is without doubt the best equipped house I have rented. Vonna the owner was a joy to deal with and I would not hesitate in recomending this property to anyone that planned to visit this area.

Amazing Home + Outstanding Ocean Views

We were in SB for our daughters wedding and needed a place for the immediate family (3 couples) as well as open space for the bride and bridemaids to get ready all morning the day of the wedding. This place was absolutely perfect! 3 bedrooms each with their own bath. Huge kitchen / dining area / living room open space with ceiling to floor windows over looking the SB coastline. Everyone wants to come back, even the extended family members that stopped by throughout our stay. 5 Stars all the way.

Exceptional says it all. Spectacular 180 degree view of the ocean, pool, well appointed kitchen and decorated beautifully. Family came with grand kids, layout of house was perfect with a suite bedroom, master bedroom and spacious bedroom for our family. Vonna, our host was terrific, communication was accurate, quick and cordial. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Wonderful time to spend with family and friends in celebrating my son's PHD celebration at UCSB.

An Amazing Stay

There is a pretty good description of this property online but actually staying there exceeded our expectations. This is a unique property. It has character, stupendous views from almost every room, well stocked kitchen (appliances, dishes, silverware), spacious accommodations, wonderful landscaping, and a sense of delightful history in all the artifacts and paintings in every room. This one succeeds despite somewhat flakey WiFi, no easy way to use airplay, no heating in the pool. But we loved it and had a wonderful time.

Stunning Views, Cozy Home

My group and I enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. There were endless places to relax, have me-time, meditate, etc. The fountain and firepit make for a beautiful night outside. The views were gorgeous and plenty of space to relax outside as well. The home had pretty much all we needed for prepping meals and even a nice surround sound system for music and entertaining. The layout and design of the home are aesthetically pleasing. The neighborhood is nice and very peaceful. The location is close to the freeway and plenty of shops and restaurants. I would recommend for family or friends getaway. It is definitely a peaceful retreat!

Beautiful home that was fully stocked but could use some attention.

The home had lovely common and sitting areas, a great kitchen and the view was spectacular. There were a few areas that needed some attention. There were multiple lights that needed bulbs both inside and out, the pool can use a refresh painting and several sockets did not work. The house does not have air conditioning and we happened to hit a warmer than usual week but it did have fans to help. Overall though, this was a beautiful, clean home that allowed us the opportunity to enjoy time with friends. It is in a great location close to restaurants and shops and the owner was so nice and easy to work with.

Lisa, thank you for taking the time to write a review. I appreciate your input. I wanted to mention that Santa Barbara has experienced severe drought condition for years now. We are currently at stage three drought conditions. Our source of water comes from a local reservoir, not from Northern California or the Colorado river, as most of Southern California, the reservoir is currently at 31%. You may have noticed that all the public fountains are empty, which is one of many mandated conservation efforts. We do have completed plans for a new pool and a contractor has been selected, but we will have to wait until the drought mandates are lifted.
