This house was perfect for our family while visiting Montecito for our niece's wedding. The layout is great so you don't feel on top of each other, yet there's plenty of space to be together. The kitchen was a wonderful space to cook, drink some wine and hang out together. Authentic vintage charm and a perfect location.

For the second summer in a row, my husband and I hosted our children and their families at the Babcock house. Although we live within easy driving distance from each other in LA County, we rarely spend unstructured time together. The property is a quick drive from our homes but a world away. The house plus cottage are perfect for our young grandkids. The beautiful fenced yard is a perfect playground, and it’s easy to give over one of the two large living rooms to their toys and games. The big kitchen allows for multiple adults to work in it simultaneously. Santa Barbara is close by, with a children’s science museum and a zoo in addition to restaurants and shopping. Montecito is convenient for grocery shopping (and Urgent Care!), and Butterfly Beach is close by. The week together is often noisy and chaotic but a priceless opportunity for all the generations to create and maintain close ties under one roof. The house and grounds are unique, and we cherish the annual opportunity to make them our own.

We loved our stay at this beautiful property. It was a calm retreat from the hustle and bustle of graduation weekend. It felt like walking in to a modern history book. The surroundings and building are so nicely restored and the furnishings are carefully thought out and comfortable. We would stay here again for sure.

We had just an amazing time in this Montecito home. The property is special. Just a vintage home that is comfortable with fun and special decor. The garden is exceptional. After the hustle and bustle of Santa Barbara we loved returning to the relaxing grounds. The outdoor spaces were fantastic and our 2 dogs enjoyed it all fully. After dinner in the garden we ended every evening in the large living room with the stone fire blazing. Terrific!

The home was exactly as pictured. It was a beautiful, private property ideally situated close to town but also right across the street from a sweet little walking trail. The living spaces worked perfectly for our family and the backyard was terrific for sunny relaxing afternoons!
