Great property, close to the beach and restaurants, both walking distance. Close to the Zoo also! Got away from the heat of the valley for a nice cooler weekend.
4.8
Very nice property and location, can walk to the beach or the main drag of Montecito. Would go back again!
4.8
This location is perfectly located between the beach and the charming downtown, both 5 min walk. We had a very nice relaxing stay. This home was very clean and we had plenty of room for three adults and a tiny pup.
4.8
Our family loves staying at this perfectly appointed property and have stayed here twice now with plans on returning .
What is special about it is the spaciousness and nicely decorated rooms including very comfortable beds and linens . The kitchen is stocked with all one needs to
barbecue in the shaded back yard on elegant patio furniture .
It’s a 4 min walk to beautiful Butterfly Beach and
10 min walk to Montecito’s farmers market .
When staying here you really feel like a local nestled in a quite charming neighborhood .
I would highly recommend this property

Very pleasant and great communication with owner.

This was perfect for my husband and me and our dog. The little patio was nice )though it didn’t get much use with 4 days of rain). Liked being able to walk to the ocean and Montecito Village. It had everything we needed.
4.8
Very close to village and waterfront; a near perfect location. If train noise disturbs you then look elsewhere, as this place is half a block from the tracks. Large living room, but in need of an update on one couch. Some rooms are a bit dark. Second bedroom has twin beds and is small. Owner has unit above rental so you don’t have a stand alone house. Never met the owner, but he was quick to comply with requests. I would probably rent again.
4.8
The owners were generous and cordial from the start! I emailed them with questions and get a quick reply. Check in was easy and the owners stayed to themselves, upstairs, in their completely separate flat. They park and enter in back, whereas guest park and enter in front. The house is beautiful and has everything one would need on vacation, including beach chairs and towels. The beach and the town of Montecito were short, easy walks from opposite directions. The highways and thoroughfares were very close, making the drive to Santa Barbara, the Mission, the Wharf, etc., quick and simple. This will be our go-to home away from home from now on. Also, we ordered gourmet meals from Chef Edie Robertson, who also gets 5 stars in every catagory.

What a delightful place in a prime Montecito location! The owners, who couldn’t be nicer, have done a beautiful job—the furnishings were elegant, the linens were luxurious, and the kitchen was well-appointed. The backyard was where we spent much time in ideal weather. This is a happy place, and we hope to return for another stay soon!
4.8
Great stay. Listing is accurate, 5 minute walk to Butterfly Beach, 10 minute walk to Montecito restaurants. Property is the ground floor of a house and the owners are upstairs but totally separate entrances. Owners were very helpful and assisted with delivery of an unplanned FedEx, but you can hear them walking around, though it wasn’t a problem for me. Train is close by, but not a negative as the whistle doesn’t blow after 10pm, is very infrequent and moves on quickly. Very clean property but the location is the main selling point if you are looking for walking in Montecito, and the beach in Santa Barbara is also an easy morning walk. Small backyard very convenient for my dog and a nice afternoon read. I would definitely stay here again.
4.8
If you want a home base where you have a five minute walk to either a beautiful beach (Butterfly Beach) or downtown Montecito with its shops, restaurants and CVS then this is the one for you. Additionally, other beach cities line the 101 both north and south, and inland hiking and further exploration is just a few minutes drive away.
The owner was very responsive and cared about the quality of our stay without being at all intrusive. The fenced yard worked well for our dog and for outdoor dining and barbecue. All in all, a great stay at this home away from home. 🙂
4.8
Nice apartment, well furnished, traffic and train noise were an issue.
4.8
Great cycling and beach access. Walkable to the beach and great restaurants on Coastal Village Dr.

Wonderful
4.8
The unit's location, within walking distance to both the beach and the Montecito village, is excellent. The unit was very clean. We did not use the kitchen etc., The only issue we had was that the unit is located on a very noisy street and the noise from the cars and the train is something that is constant. We had a good time.
4.8
Property is well located in a great neighborhood, two long blocks to incredible beach. Perfect for walking the dog off leash. Hosts were nearby and helpful, but not intrusive.
One couch in living room was pretty, but not comfortable to sit in. Springs collapsed when sitting.
4.8
This was a nice place to visit together with our family that is in the Santa Barbara area. I loved being able to walk down to the shoreline.
4.8
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Kerry’s property. The furnishings are elegant and comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped. The space is bright, airy, and sunny (when it isn’t raining!). Location is great - just a 5 minute walk to a beautiful beach and access to the pedestrian path that runs along the coast. Also 5 minutes in the other direction to shops, cafes, and restaurants. Definitely a pleasing home away from home.
4.8
The location is amazing with a short walk to our favorite Butterfly Beach and also to Montecito Coast village. The property is beautifully decorated and the kitchen has everything. Furnishings and beds are comfortable. We were so comfortable there!
We highly recommend and hope to stay here again next year!!
4.8
Really enjoyed our stay here. The check in process was very easy, beds were comfy and the house in general was very cozy. Love the location, and walking distance to the beach, coffee, wonderful bakeries, restaurants and shops.
4.8
Super location. Clean and very comfortable accommodations. Fenced in back yard is a huge plus. Very responsive owners. Kitchen well stocked. Absolutely everything we needed. Hope to come back again!
4.8
This property was clean and attractive....but the five star draw is the location. Minutes from the beach and a beautiful walk along the coast, and minutes from the main street in Montecito with excellent restaurants and shops.
4.8
We really enjoyed our stay in Montecito at this lovely property! The house is close to the town (for delicious meals and wine) and close to the beach for a beautiful walk down the beach. Our family had enough space for everyone and the communication was great. Thank you!

We chose this property for its location and dog friendly policy. We had a great stay in a comfy and clean place with luxurious towels and bed linens. While we didn’t do any cooking, the kitchen was well prepped for cooking with a nice stove. The living room has plenty of seating and sofas for napping. There is train noise occasionally and some traffic noise but hardly noticeable. We all slept well! The backyard is spacious and room enough for a dog to move about, but the beach is a 5 minute walk away! Although not officially an off-leash beach, we saw many dogs off leash. Monticito’s small downtown is a short walk, and downtown Santa Barbara only an 8-10 minute drive. You can count on a nice neighborhood when The Four Seasons (temporarily closed) is right down the street. Our hosts were great and we would stay here again!
4.8
This wonderful home was located in a perfect location close to the beach and restaurants. Many amenities to make the stay comfortable and enjoyable. Would definitely stay again. Hosts were very kind and helpful.

This home has everything you’ll need and is just two blocks to the ocean or two blocks to a nice shopping area in the other direction. It’s close to the train and highway, but noise was never an issue.

The place is ideally located if you want to walk into town and Butterfly Beach. Friendly and responsive owners. It was nice that it was pet friendly too.

Winter haven
We rented this property from Jan 3 until Mar h 24, 2022, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property was clean, and quite comfortable. The beach is about a five minute walk away, and the restaurants and shops on Coast Village Rd in Montecito are also in easy walking distance. Our hosts were helpful and friendly. A very pleasant place to spend the winter months!
