Family wedding weekend

The house was great for 12 family members. Location was perfect and we even liked the train sounds nearby! We could walk to the beach and to dinner or morning coffee. We could have used more towels, some dish towels, and we were missing some sheets. The disposal had a leak and the kitchen cabinets could use some paint. Dining chairs need to be cleaned as do outdoor seat cushions. Don’t mean to be negative but these updates should be made to make it perfect!

beautiful home, great location

Really enjoyed our stay. 11 family members stayed comfortably here; felt like we all had privacy. Home is beautiful and garden areas are very peaceful and fun for the kids. A bit of traffic noise, but we got used to it quickly. Some trains going by, but not a big deal and only seemed to run occasionally during the day. Location was great, very walkable to the beach and to Montecito's lower village. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful retreat

This house was so relaxing we had a hard time leaving to go do anything! Location is 10/10 - one block to town and 5min walk to a great neighborhood beach. 5min drive to the funk zone. Everyone was very comfortable and felt right at home. The kids loved running around on the turf in the backyard while we BBQ'd. Would love to come back in the future and enjoy this beautiful place again.

Overall good experience

The good: 1.The home is in a great location with easy access to get everywhere in Montecito (walking distance to town and beach) and Santa Barbara (via e-bike) -Rental place in Montecito town. 2. Gardens of the home are beautiful and private and perfect to relax in and to have a nice BBQ 3. Beds are comfortable and large rooms except the one off the kitchen (Only a double bed room). All amenities were provided in Kitchen and bathrooms. Issues: 1. Communication with the host was difficult. Did not respond to messages via text message and messages through VRBO took over a week as Chris said he had issues with VRBO platform. 2. Dates booked through VRBO did not match confirmation sent from the host and took several days to get confirmation for the actual dates booked. 3. Hot Tub was very dirty as there was sand all inside of it likely from prior guests that were staying there. We ended up not using it. 4. Only main living area (by kitchen) and kids bedroom is air-conditioned. Some nights were fairly warm. Would be nice to have fans in each bedroom. Overall nice experience and would recommend staying here.

Lovely stay!

We had a wonderful stay - the property was plenty of space for our group of 9 (6 adults and 3 kids). We appreciated the large kitchen and all of the outdoor space. We weren't expecting to be so close to the train tracks (perhaps we missed that in the description) - but the noise wasn't bad. The ease of walking to the beach and "downtown" Montecito were a great plus!

Elegant getaway

What a lovely vacation rental! Many spaces for privacy and for group games and meals. Breakfast on one patio, lunch on another, mid-afternoon ping pong on a third. Easy walk to the beach or to the village to pick up fresh baked pastries for breakfast or take-out for dinner. Comfy beds, cozy blankets for late night movies, and well-equipped kitchen. Our extended family of 8 had a great time.

Annual Girls Trip

We had a wonderful and enjoyable time at this newly renovated property! Can’t say enough about the upscale home with 4 large bedrooms and 4 baths! It easily accommodated the 8 of us. Only slight annoyance was the location in between the 101 freeway and the Amtrak tracks. You could hear some road noise when outside and hear the train horns. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this property!

Perfect Reunion

The house and it's private outdoor spaces were perfect for our reunion of 3 families with young kids. The location is great -- a very short walk to restaurants and shops in Montecito and just a 7-10 minute drive to the heart of Santa Barbara. The property was recently redecorated under a new owner and was great. TVs just about everywhere including one in the living room that's easily 100". Kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment, and the propane grill is HUGE.

Spending my 56th Birthday here was lovely

This is is one of the best that I've rented. It slept 11 of us comfortably. The property was definitely 5 star. We walked around the corner to the beach every thing we needed to have a wonderful day at the beach was stored on this property. They had everything except our beach attire. The yard was so serene, there was enough space for us all to have our private moments to relax. The kitchen was well equipped for a fee of our gourmet chefs. Every bed was so comfortable. We didn't want to leave them or the property. The grocery store and restaurants were walking distance, we totally enjoyed strolling through the neighborhood . The famous Luckys Steak Restaurant was a total hit. I can't say enough about our experience it was everything I wanted it to be for my bday celebration . This property is perfect for all age groups

About the host

Hosted by Chris Gregoire

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

The Butterfly Beach area of Montecito affords our guests a unique and rare opportunity to enjoy many aspects of town on foot. Given how much time most of us spend in our cars, we felt that this was a special gift we wanted to share with visitors to Santa Barbara.

What makes this property unique

Walking virtually next door and being on the gorgeous grounds of the Four Seasons Biltmore is certainly special, whether lingering over Sunday brunch or having a facial and massage at the spa. Afterwards, a walk on the beach feels just right. Sometimes after sleeping in, it's fun to walk over to Jeannine's All-American Bakery and sit outside for a delicious breakfast or lunch. And of course, if you want to see and be seen, or do some celebrity watching, hit the night time scene at Lucky's, the hip Montecito steakhouse.
