The cottage was wonderful. I loved the patio. Everything, the appliances, the layout, the bathroom, the bedding, and Martha exceeded expectations.

We really enjoyed this house. It is a block to Miramar beach and very private. Montecito is beautiful. We explored on foot and by bike everyday. The gorgeous Rosewood Miramar is a 5 minute walk and a fabulous place for dinner and/or drinks. The restaurants and shopping on Coast Village Rd are a leisurely bike ride or nice walk away. We even to Summerland one morning for breakfast. The house decor is nice. The kitchen is spacious and has a nice washer/dryer. Note that all houses this close to the beach will be able to hear the commuter train because the tracks are just above the beach. This house is also on the creek. The frogs are super active at night. This house has a sound machine. I slept like a baby every night. My only complaint is that the mattress is too soft. It needs replacing. Otherwise, I highly recommend this house and will return.

Fully equipped kitchen with lots of room to work and appliances were in good working condition. I would only recommend adding a non-stick pan compatible spatula. How to use the futon as a bed was not clear but we figured it out dnd the futon was comfortable. For some reason a phone msg for assistance was never answered but it was not critical. Loved the neighborhood and close proximity to stores and restaurants was superb. Would definitely return. We had no idea the Montecito creek abutted the building but this was an added bonus at first with the white noise of a flowing creek. However there was a deluge during our stay which turned the creek into a muddy, roiling beast that was a little alarming and very loud . But cannot blame weather which will do what it will do. Might consider disclosing this in future however. Thanks for a fun stay!

Nicely furnished and well kept. Had some problems with flashing lights and unmaintained bikes but management was very responsive to these problems. Location is a bit isolated and missed having either a bathtub or hot tub.

We absolutely loved our stay at the cottage and found it to be larger than expected. The kitchen was super well appointed and the bedroom was quite large. It also felt super private for sharing the property with another house. Our 3 year old daughter slept in the den and we found the cottage to be very spacious for the three of us. The location was also fantastic! Would definitely stay again!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this cottage. My wife and I stayed during February, and there was a fair amount of water running through the creek behind the cottage. What wonderful relaxing sounds to hear the rushing water -- I slept so well! The cottage is well appointed -- all the kitchenware was there -- there was not an item that we wished we had that was not there. Bed was very comfortable. Wunderlust folks who help manage the property were prompt in responding to my emails and requests -- fantastic all around. I would stay again for sure.

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely property by the creek. The surroundings are gorgeous, especially all of the amazing trees and plant surrounding the property! The inside is very comfortable and has everything a person would need. The property manager was easy to communicate with and promptly brought us needed items, such as coat hangers that were missing.

This property was delightful. It was immaculately clean, the bed was comfortable, the wifi was great (my wife and I both worked remotely) and the location was great. The outside sitting area under a tremendous oak tree was particularly nice. The only negative is that you could hear hiway 101 at night, but it was relatively distant and did not bother us. We certainly want to return.

Great location, neat and clean inside, and nicely decorated, and nicely landscaped outside. I am 6’4” and my only quibble would be bed is low to the floor as is some of the furniture. Absolutely would rent again. Rental is a 5-10 min walk to Miramar, which is an amazing place.

The location can't be beat and the cottage is very charming. Kitchen was well stocked and the courtyard was perfect for morning coffee and evening wine. Some bedding was missing but the management company took care of it promptly. I would definitely recommend to others and look forward to returning.

Awesome Cottage and Location!

This cottage is in a prime location within walking distance to the main street in Montecito as well as to the beach and Rosewood Resort. I love that it is against a ravine because it has a nice nature feel to it. It is beautifully updated with a simple clean design which I really enjoyed. My only ask is that they put in a towel rack or hooks in the bathroom. I will be back here for sure!

Wonderful stay at the Montecito Cottage

Wonderful stay at the Montecito Cottage

My wife and I came here to decompress from work-work-work, and the magic here worked for us. Everything was completely clean, current and comfortable from the kitchen to the bedroom. The property is picturesque, with an enormous oak tree to welcome you by the front door and window views of the garden patio and a natural stone-strewn wash out back. AND... you are a 2-minute, 1-block walk from a beach sparsely populated due to limited parking, so the location is just perfect. You are a couple minutes drive from Montecito's "main strip," a cozy few blocks of shopping and great dining (and look up the Stonehouse Restaurant, just up the hill). The times we stayed in Santa Barbara, just a few minutes drive away, we SHOULD have stayed in Montecito instead, and will next time!

Property was much larger and more secluded than we expected from photos. The large patio is totally enclosed and not shared with front house. Side room with futon made a great separate bedroom area for our daughter. Neighborhood was very quiet and had easy access to beach and downtown Montecito.

The cottage is light , bright and airy . Very clean and attractive. We cooked a few dinners and breakfasts , and assembled some lunches in the well equipped kitchen , with a high top table seating four . After hiking in nearby trails , we slept well in the very comfortable bed. . We enjoyed working from the desk overlooking a creek banked in orange nasturtiums in the back . TV’s are easy to use. The bikes come in handy riding into Montecito . It’s an easy walk to the beach which is such a pleasure to have so close .
