We really enjoyed our stay! The house is extremely clean, fully equipped, and cozy—it truly felt like a home away from home. The entire location is very private, and the outdoor space is beautifully landscaped and perfect for relaxing.It’s in a fantastic area, just a short walk to Butterfly Beach and Coast Village, where you’ll find a great selection of restaurants, shops, and bars. The house came with beach chairs and umbrellas, which made our beach days even easier.At first, we were a bit concerned about the proximity to the highway, but there was absolutely no noise at any time during our stay—it was peaceful and quiet throughout.The high-speed internet was excellent—we were even able to get some work done during our stay. In the evenings, we enjoyed winding down by the fireplace watching TV, which made the space feel even cozier.Adham, the host, was extremely responsive and helpful. He also recommended using ResortPass to access the amenities at the Rosewood Miramar Resort, which was a wonderful bonus.Highly recommend this place—would definitely stay again!

What makes this property unique
This property is strategically located right in the middle between the Biltmore four season hotel of Montecito and the Rosewood Miramar hotel, one minute driving and 9 minutes walking to each of those two famous world class, boutique, beachfront resorts of Santa Barbara. The house is located within 9 minutes walking distance to the famous Butterfly beach of Montecito, CA and 10 minutes walking to the restaurants and bars of the coast village of Montecito. You cannot beat this location all along with the extreme privacy of that house.
The house is also a modern, newly renovated house with high end luxurious amenities (kitchen, beddings, three bathrooms, media screens and cosy landscaping) all of which are rare to find around in this zip code compared to all the surrounding houses. It also comes with an indoor private car garage protecting your vehicle and keeping it cool in this beachside retreat by the beach.
The stay in this beachside retreat is designed to be far superior and rewarding (but also cost efficient) than any other stay in the surrounding five star hotels, whether you are visiting as a family or as a couple.
