We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO. Although the house is a bit older, the property itself is stunning and offers a fantastic layout for multiple families, especially with kids. There’s plenty of space for everyone to relax comfortably without feeling crowded. The host/owner was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay, and the neighborhood is right in the middle of Montecito with easy access to restaurants, shops, etc. We enjoyed our time here and would love to return in the future.
This home is really amazing. I love all the woodwork and lighting. There is plenty of windows and doors and is dog friendly. Everything is available for use in the kitchen and bathrooms. Our family and dogs had an amazing time.
