About this house rental

1 BEDROOM | 1 BATHROOM | 2 GUESTS

Embrace the Montecito Beach lifestyle with your first step into Seaside Cottage.

Completed and restored in 2008, no detail was left untouched in this romantic Montecito vacation rental. The designer furnishings, updated Kitchen, Bathroom, and cozy Primary Bedroom all combined to make this the best in Montecito beach living. Authentic antique touches are everywhere; including 1880's stained glass windows, vintage Roycroft 1903 hand made chandelier, and a 1903 electric fireplace with glowing glass embers.

The beauty and comfort continue as you walk outside to the creek side sandstone patio area, featuring a new Riverstone Fire pit. Lounging and dining are easy in the quality hardwood teak furniture. A grand 200 year-old sycamore tree offers partial shade during the heat of the day. There is an herb garden which is flanked by Meyer lemon and Tangelo citrus trees and which provides rosemary, thyme, chives, and spearmint to be used in the gourmet Kitchen.

The Kitchen boasts a custom cobalt blue Viking range, dishwasher, and many other amenities. Fresh cold drinking water is provided by the Everpure micro-filltration system. The surfaces are beautiful; natural maple wood cabinets are contrasted with colorful and detailed tile work. Even doing the dishes is a pleasure while looking over the patio to the creekbed below.

The Living areas are colorful and comfortable. The Bedroom feels like a fine hotel room and if you want to shut out the sunshine in the early morning or for an afternoon siesta, just use the remote control to operate the "Solar powered" shade in the skylight. The new Bathroom has a special porcelain, oversized claw-foot tub and all new fixtures. The Living Room and Dining Room are well designed and offer plenty of room for lounging and dining.

Two of Montecito's best beaches, Miramar and Hammond's, are just a 1/2 block away and just steps to the Rosewood Miramar where you can wine and dine. Montecito Lower Village is an easy 2 minute drive. Santa Barbara, with its many attractions and beaches, is an easy 10 minute drive.

Seaside Cottage is certain to satisfy your need for the perfect beach getaway. Please consider it for your next Montecito escape.

Great location with everything one needs- my college student family member visited and loved it too. We both wished we could stay longer! I would recommend to all . Simple Suggestion: visible direct contact info for owner on Vrbo site or contact oinfo for a live person/ location on Vrbo site so one can contact directly prior to booking - thankful I found you on Vrbo . Can’t wait to return - super close quick walk to the beach!

It was a bit hard to find but that was part of the charm and quiet privacy of the cottage. Beautiful furnishings, appointed with everything you could want (fully stocked kitchen, viking stove, filtered water, etc) and a private patio. Quiet and peaceful. Short walk to the beach, easy walk to Montecito downtown. I loved this place.

I stayed on both properties (houses) and both were amazing! I like how easy it was to access both places on the same property. Everything was well explained in their binder and really cutely decorated! Easy access to the beach and surrounding Santa Barbara! It was also super quiet which we appreciated! Will definitely stay here again!

This is your quintessential wooden beach cottage with lots of charm within a 5 minute walk to the beach (Miramar). If you are concerned about noise, just be aware that the floors are very creaky, the iron bed is also loud, the Ocean Liner train is at the end of the block so you hear the train horn occasionally, and there are frogs in the creek behind the house that are loud in the evening. None of that kept me from sleeping however and if you are fine with those things, this small place could be for you. The furniture and kitchen decor was quaint, but the kitchen had some stains on the floor and rugs. The patio furniture was just updated (while I was there) and the front door lock was hard to get open. The only other thing I wished it had was screens on the windows. When you open the windows to cool off the house and get a breeze, the bugs fly in. Overall, very cute but with some inconveniences. I give it 3 out of 5 stars.

You get a lot of freeway noise and the windows are old so all the noise comes through. The property is less than 50 yards from the railroad track. Neither the freeway noise nor the train noise are disclosed.
