About this apartment rental

Le Petit Bijou

Le Petit Bijou (the Little Gem) is truly a place to get away from the hectic pace of life! A perfect romantic getaway just for two, or a cozy space for two adults and two small children. Just steps to the sand, this cute little cottage has everything you need to enjoy your beach retreat. A sandbox for adults and children alike, it is perfect for playing in the sea, reading a good book, or snuggling in front of the TV (no cable). No phone land line to disturb your peace and quiet! Relax and listen to the calm ocean waves as you fall asleep in a full size bed. Enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktail on the deck overlooking one of the most beautiful beaches in Santa Barbara.

When you want to explore the area, the lower village in Montecito is simply a mile away with a wide variety of shops and restaurants. Or take a 10 minute drive to downtown Santa Barbara to enjoy the many museums, theatres, and shops on State Street.

If you are flying into the area, the property is easily accessible from Santa Barbara Airport (only about 20 minutes away) and Los Angeles (90 miles south).

Le Petit Bijou is truly a gem! Come and escape to Miramar Beach!

I am giving this one star because we loved the ocean and going to sleep and waking up to the sound.

My wife and I found Le Petit Bijou on VRBO’s site. It looked like heaven. Beach front bungalow, deck with a view. We read the reviews and thought this was the place for us for vacation! Six glorious days by the ocean! Not so glorious. The place was quaint, clean but in need of some upkeep. It was well stocked with linens, towels, cookware, dishes, etc. The beach is another issue. VRBO’s listing could lead one to believe you have a small private beach. NOT true. We left one day only to return home to find a dog tied to our balcony, along with bathing suits that had been hung on it to dry. We soon learned that we had to “stake” out early in the morning if we wanted a place to put our stuff. So, 8am like clockwork we placed our chairs and umbrellas out. Just heads up – you gotta get up early to beat the locals. One positive – we saw dolphins and sea lions. The other thing we didn’t realize is that this is a dog friendly beach. Fine, no issue with dogs. Dog owners on the other hand – issue. Leashes I guess, are optional. Dog owners allow their pets to run free, up to and including hiking their legs to urinate on your personal property. Some didn’t pick up after their pets, so you always have to watch where you walk. Charming. The area is pretty enough. The attitude not so much. We won’t be returning to le Petit Bijou, so those of you that love it can have it.

You can't get any closer to the beach without being on a boat. We loved the placed. Walked to Montecito for breakfast. Surfed twice a day. I could live here.

The greatest thing about staying at this property is that it borders a dog friendly beach - especially since the owner does not allow visitors to bring their dogs. It was great to interact with all the great dogs on the beach. It was also really great to be able to walk out the back door and run on the beach for a couple of hours. The bike path is also a big plus. We saw dolphins and sea lions daily. I understand the trendy idea behind the "cable and internet free zone" but this is really a negative about this property - especially staying here in the winter when the sun sets early and sitting out on the back porch is unrealistic in the cold weather. Owner says that she advertises that there is no cable or internet at the house but I didn't realize that when I booked the house. When we were there a storm was predicted and the area had forced evacuations because of the devastating mud/land slide potential. I heard about the evacuations from a woman walking her dog on the beach. Local news access would have been a big plus. SO everyone there is NO cable or internet at the house. The rabbit ears attached to the TV do not bring in local news channels. The TV is of VERY poor quality, the speakers don't work and the DVD player doesn't work all that well either. So go prepared. Get an app for local weather and channels, load up your devices with movies, etc., so that you will have something to watch after the sun goes down and it is cold outside. I won't go back.
