We enjoyed our recent trip to Montecito and would recommend this unit to anyone. It was lovely, clean, and the host was very responsive.
We were able to walk into town for meals, coffee and some shopping.

This property gets 5 stars in every category. We loved the location. It’s located near Coast Village Road in Montecito. Beautiful Butterfly Beach, shopping and restaurants are around the corner. Santa Barbara Harbor, hiking trails, golf, sailing, surfing, fishing, and kayaking are a short drive away.
The property is beautiful. It is clean and very stylish. We spent a lot of time outside in the garden. It is the best part…There is a covered seating area with cushy outdoor sofas where we drank our morning coffee. There are lounge chairs in the sun. There is even a fire pit.
Kyle, our hostess, made sure we had everything we needed. She left a list of her favorite hikes (don’t miss the Hot Springs Trail), restaurants and other “must do’s” in SB.
Some reviewers mention the train and street noise. We did not have an issue with either. Yes, train tracks are nearby. As it was summer, we slept with the windows open. There was a fan in the bedroom. The white noise of it drowns out everything.
We had a great time in Montecito and this property had alot to do with that. We will be back.

We have NO complaints. The property and the host could not be better. I think the shower/ tub could use a grab bar for the older folks or those with balance issues. We had a great stay. Perfect location.

Amazing little place with incredible location!
10.0
We can say enough about how wonderful our stay was. Our host was exceptional - very warm and welcoming. From lovely flower arrangements placed in the pied-a-terre to the amazing courtyard - everything was beautiful. The location could not have been better. We enjoyed walking to dinner most nights. With a grocery around the corner and beach access close by we had everything we needed close by. The bedroom was very comfortable as well as the sitting area. However, we spent most of our time in the courtyard. We hope to pay a return visit in the near future.

Bliss in Montecito
We found the location to be perfect with short walk to the town of Montecito and Buttery beach and quick access to the highway. When not out and about, the lovely backyard with comfortable seating area provided the ideal place to relax. The accommodations were comfortable and welcoming.

Beautiful property!
Such a beautiful property with a lovely backyard area to enjoy. Very easy access to both Montecito and Santa Barbara (right off the Highway). Great space for a couple.

Comfort and location
This little gem is ideal for a solo traveler, like myself, or a couple. I enjoyed this place so much, I didn’t want to leave. It’s a short walk to the village and Von’s grocery. The host is very accommodating and responsive. The garden is magical. I look forward to returning soon.

City chic
This place is very high quality and super chic. Photos are perfectly accurate. Backyard is nice with lots of seating. Note: When outside or if window is open, you can hear the highway. This was a bummer as I love to hear nature sounds in this area-prevented a more relaxing environment. A nice surprise was Kyle’s awesome cat, Sugar, who basked in the sun with me on the outdoor couches. Love a friendly cat!

We will be back!

In the Heart of Montecito
Location, incredible apartment, beautifully landscaped rear yard, and only blocks from great shopping and restaurants. Must dine at Merci and Tre Lune. Everything was spectacular and so relaxing. Kyle, the Owner, provides many recommendations, and is completely charming. A must stay!

Great Place to stay!
I would highly recommend this place to stay.
Kyle is a perfect host and we did not want for anything. Close to the beach, restaurants and we were able to ride our bikes right from the house.

Hidden Gem
This property is a hidden gem located in walking distance to great coffee shops and restaurants. It’s hard to appreciate how beautiful the backyard garden is until you arrive and enjoy its full beauty. This property provides a complete indoor outdoor experience ! We will be back !

Fantastic Property!
This is a stylish and very comfortable space, which includes a beautiful backyard garden. A short walk from Montecito shops and restaurants (and minutes from SB), this was perfect. We will be back for sure!

Pied a terre in Montecito.
We had a wonderful time in Montecito. The pied a terre is so convenient to shopping and restaurants and a short walk to the beach. It was extremely clean and comfortable. The garden is amazing and we loved getting to know the owners two pets.

Wonderful home away from home!
My boyfriend and I stayed at Kyle’s home for a road trip vacation. Her house is on the upper level and the guest quarters are on the ground floor. The bedroom and living room space open up to the most gorgeous garden! It is beyond picturesque. The accommodations were spotless, comfy, and we felt totally at home. Thank you Kyle for such a great stay!

Perfect location, gorgeous property and awesome host!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Kyle’s place. The backyard is an oasis and the main village center of Montecito is literally a short walk down the street. The beach access is also super handy. The place is tastefully decorated and was fully fitted for our needs. Loved it and we both enjoyed our host — Kyle is great!

Great location in Montecito
Great location! Less than 1/2 mile walk to Butterfly Beach and Von's grocery store. At low tide you can walk 3+ miles on the Beach. Easy drive to numerous beaches, downtown Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara Botanical Garden, hiking, etc. We were happy we kept the rental car. Private outdoor space with numerous places to sit and awning to provide shade near home. Owner lives in separate part of house and responds quickly to questions via text. Beach towels, laundry and bikes available upon request. Wifi was good for working remotely. Friendly cat. Did not see much of small dog who has access to backyard. Would stay again.

Beautiful hideaway
Charming apartment with everything you need and nice touches. But you have a spectacular garden with lovely landscaping and furniture plus heaters for cool nights. Can’t say enough good things about our host!

Lovely design, setting, location and hospitality
We had a lovely week staying with Kyle and Butter (the poodle). Aesthetically, both the apartment and the garden were just perfect. And the location close to restaurants, shopping, coffee and the beach made it even better. We really appreciated Kyle's help navigating the area, providing us with beach towels/umbrella and ensuring we were having a comfortable stay.

Great Stay!
The location alone is top tier! It's walking distance to the beach and tons of shops. The backyard is tranquil and made for a perfect yoga sanctuary. The size was perfect for two people and everything is as advertised. Definitely will plan to come back!

Beautiful garden and great location
Kyle's pied a terre, below her own house, is a wonderful retreat right in the heart of Montecito -- quite, just a couple blocks from coffee, shopping, groceries--whatever you might need, and amazingly, also from the sand through a below-the-highway passage. It's idyllic.

Clean Space & Great Host
Property manager was very kind and communicated to us clearly throughout our stay. The check-in process was easy and the location is perfect. So close (5 minutes walking) to Butterfly Beach and walking distance (30 minute walk) to Miramar Beach. We really enjoyed our time and hope to stay on the property again.

Amazing stay in the pied a terre!
My husband and I had an amazing stay here in montecito. Check in and check out was smooth and easily communicated with Kyle the owner. The space was very clean, beautifully decorated And so comfortable. It was very close to coast village road where we were able to walk to coffee shops and dinner. We enjoyed the private garden and the great weather. The bed was also incredibly comfortable which was a plus! We even got to meet Kyles kitty Sugar which we enjoyed being cat lovers ourselves. :) overall we would recommend this space and come back to stay! Thanks for a fun getaway!

Delightful retreat.
Ahh, this was such a delightful home base as we explored the area. Spotless and well appointed, we felt right at home in this charming neighborhood setting with stunning garden and night skies.

Great location
Loved the location. As a previous reviewer mentioned, this property is below the owner’s occupied spaces. If you are sensitive to transient noise of “walkers” on the floor above, be aware. Also, Kyle’s puppy, Butter, is a sweet dog but expresses her disappointment when her mom is not home.
