We really enjoyed our stay at the guest house. Very lovely and proximity to the coast was great.

The casita was perfect in every way! It was clean, spacious and light with beautiful views. My sister and her husband were staying at the Four Seasons Biltmore in a bungalow and we liked our casita much better (at a third of the cost!) It was five minutes from the Biltmore so we could join them for a drink on the outdoor oceanside patio. Esperanza was so helpful and recommended we eat at Lucky's which we all enjoyed. This will be our go-to place for future visits to Santa Barbara.

They could not have been kinder or more welcoming to me and my family. Salt of the earth kind of people. Had cheerios and milk and other thoughtful things stocked for my kids. The setting is Beautiful. The location is about as good as it gets in my book. It's not extremely private, you do share the yard with the main house, but it felt like a true bed and breakfast feel of being hosted in someone's home. They were so incredibly kind and thoughtful. It was a blessing and joy to meet them and stay in their casita.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful guest house set in a tranquil picturesque neighborhood in Montecito. Espe & her husband were very gracious hosts and made sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. Truly a fantastic weekend. If you are looking for a relaxing getaway in the Santa Barbara area we highly recommend staying at this guest house!

we had a wonderful stay here. the home is in a beautiful spacious area in a very quiet town neighboring santa barbara. the amenities were perfect for our needs and the host was kind and beyond hospitable. we would definitely come back if the opportunity came up again

We had great time during our stay at the casita. Esperanza is a great host who made sure that we were completely satisfied with our stay. Location is close to hiking and beach and if you are looking to get away and relax for few days then I highly recommend staying here.

Wonderful Casita! Private and close to everythiNguyen. Hosts are so accommodating and generous, we had everything we could think of. Great walking paths nearby, close to beaches and villages. Downtown Santa Barbara a quick 10 minute drive. Absolutely would recommend for a quiet getaway!

Beautiful accommodations. Our hosts were amazing and made us feel so welcome and taken care of. Beautiful home, grounds and neighborhood. Perfect location... Beautiful drive to Ojai and very close to downtown Santa Barbara as well as hiking trails and the ocean. Lovely pool and jacuzzi, upgraded bathroom and kitchen. Wonderful experience!! : )

Our stay at Luke's guesthouse was wonderful. Though adjacent to his home, the place is private and features its own outdoor terrace and garden. The Airbnb is nicely furnished, clean and convenient to Santa Barbara attractions. Luke is a terrific host who went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and had what we needed as guests. We look forward,to our next stay! Thank you!

This was a terrific spot. It is well located to Montecito, Santa Barbara and Carpenteria. It seemed everything I needed was 10 minutes or less drive. Luke left a bottle of wine in the fridge (thank you!) and a handy binder with local restaurant recommendations. He also checked in during the stay to make sure everything was going well. I never heard the family next door and the casita was very private and accurate to the photographs on the listing. The panoramic view of the Pacific from the bedroom put a smile on my face each morning and the comfortable bed and quiet location of the guesthouse made for relaxing sleep at night. I highly recommend this spot.

Luke's place was perfect. I travel to Montecito frequently for work and he was very flexible when I asked to extend my stay halfway through our visit. The neighborhood is nice, quiet, and private with great views, while being close enough to the 101 to get everywhere. Definitely would stay again!

In addition to being spacious and clean and providing all necessary amenities and more, what we loved most about this property was its location. One can stay in Santa Barbara and be perfectly happy, but to stay and enjoy Montecito is truly one of life's great experiences. We felt as if we were local residents and loved our stay.

My girlfriend and I stayed in Luke's guesthouse for 4 days and had a fantastic time. The place is very clean, well decorated, with lots of light and very spacious for two people. It was a short 10 minute drive into downtown Santa Barbara. We really enjoyed the ability to get into the city/surroundings fast, but coming home at night to the quiet and leafy suburb of Montecito made for a restful holiday. The kitchen has two gas burners and plenty of pots/pans/etc. which suited our cooking needs well. Bathroom has a number of mini shampoo/conditioner bottles as well which was nice. Luke was a great host, giving you plenty of privacy but readily available via text or email if you need something. He even shipped me something that I left behind by accident. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

The host canceled this reservation 25 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Luke was very easy to speak with and made the process seamless. The place was perfect - would love to return if ever in SB again.

Great retreat away from it all. Luke is a pleasure to deal with. Very easy going and quick to respond. Apartment is clean and well equipped with a great view of the ocean from the bedroom. Definitely a great place to get away from it all and relax!

A sweet gem of a spot in Montecito. Wish I could have stayed longer.

The cottage was a perfect place to stay. It was very quiet, private and with all the comforts of home. Jackie was very accommodating with last minute schedule changes and provided excellent instructions to find the cottage at night in the dark. The cottage is a short drive to a grocery store, restaurants and shops and easy access to and from the 101.

Jackie's cottage checked all the boxes: cute, cozy and clean! We would definitely return and highly recommend staying here.

The cottage was perfect! It was beautifully decorated and very cozy. It is located just a short drive from the beach and downtown. We had a great stay!

Lovely hosts and beautiful cottage. Thank you ladies!

Nice quiet location....was very relaxing. Host was very accommodating. Hope to visit again.

This was the most adorable cottage! I'm didn't want to leave. The small studio was clean and super cozy. The private drive and location were perfect for a relaxing getaway. The hosts were very accommodating and nice. I highly recommend staying here!!

The host canceled this reservation 70 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

All the other reviews are absolutely correct...beautiful, quiet, scenic, a place of solitude and rejuvenation. I went with my 2 daughters (ages 9&13) and we all slept comfortably and enjoyed our stay. Please keep in mind there is no stove, so plan your meals accordingly. The fridge is spacious and there are wonderful restaurants nearby. I would highly recommend a stay here. I never heard or even saw the couple on the 3rd floor helping us to feel all the more private and secluded.

Highly recommended!! -The hosts were super hospitable. -Gave us more than enough privacy (met for a quick chat). -Very responsive throughout the stay whenever we had questions -Everything was clean, well maintained, pleasant, comfortable. Just as shown in the pictures. Couldn't ask for more and we wouldn't hesitate staying there again in the future!

Lovely place. Hosts communication was awesome. Bathroom and shower is fabulous with clean towels and robes!

Yang was a wonderful host, and also definitely let us have our privacy - the perfect balance! The space was just as described/pictured, very quiet, serene and homey. I'd definitely return and would recommend to anyone looking for a great, secluded spot in Montecito.

Very pleasant stay at Montecito Secluded Serene Retreat. Yang and Hao are very nice host, they even take us out for lunch. Room is very comfortable. Everything is nice and neat. Will definitely stay again(URL HIDDEN)

Yang and his wife were lovely and responsive! The place was great, in a pleasant location and was very clean! I recommend staying at their place!

I had a lovely stay at this property. The hosts were gracious, welcoming and helpful, and everything was clean and well maintained. I would most definitely recommend it without reservation and am really glad I stayed here. Other guests have covered the specific details, so I will just add this, should it be useful to others who are not as young as we used to be . There are more than 20 stairs up and down the property, without railings at some spots. So if you would be challenged carrying a suitcase up and down the hillside, this is probably good to know.

Wonderful,quiet, and clean place. Yang and Hao were gracious hosts who offered us advice on local restaurants and sights. I would highly recommend this place. Thanks Yang and Hao!!

This was an excellent place to stay, reasonably priced and good value. Convenient location for all activities and attractions. I will definitely return.

David did everything to make us feel at home. We recommend everyone his nice cottage. We had a very nice stay and enjoyed Santa Barbara and Montecito. Thank you David for your hospitality!

David was wonderful about communicating regarding my arrival time and greeted me a few minutes after I arrived. Very nice, very warm welcome. Everything was wonderful! Beautiful area.

David's quiet cottage in Monteceito was absolutely perfect for my mom and I while we visited the area for one night. David was there to warmly welcome us and show us around. He gave us some recommendations and then lots of privacy for the remainder of our stay. The cottage is beautifully decorated and exactly as pictured. He placed waters out for us both in the kitchen and in the shared bathroom, and he also had tea and lots of fruit available, as well as freshly brewed coffee and croissants in the morning. The home is nestled within a beautiful neighborhood filled with gated homes and gorgeous landscapes and architecture. As an airbnb super host myself, I can honestly say it was a joy and a pleasure to stay with David! You won't regret it.

Absolutely amazing host, very kind and welcoming. The place is really nice too, in a very quiet and residential environment, not too far from downtown and the beach. I highly recommend, better deal than a 4* or maybe 5* hotel !

David was a wonderful host and very attentive to his guests! The cottage is lovely and the bed extremely comfortable. The use of the pool was a bonus too. I would stay here again and recommend others to do so too.

A friendly host, David communicates well, is professional, reliable, and provides a quiet, clean space. I especially appreciate the fruit, water, and tea David provides. When traveling once or twice I've realized too late that dinner wasn't quite enough to last to morning - so I am thankful for his thoughtfulness.

The cottage was lovely! Pictures are accurate. There's also a nice pool! David was great!

This was the second time I have stayed here and it was just as wonderful as the first. The room has everything and it's so quiet. I'll be back.

It was an absolute pleasure staying at Rita’s in Montecito. Lovely grounds, lush vegetation and mature trees; lots of open space and nature to enjoy; close enough to all the sights of Santa Barbara, yet just far enough up in the secluded hills to let you feel that you have escaped. Personal touches abound – fresh fruit, water, snacks, soaps, magazines, antique furniture, and knick-knacks. Rita and her family are very engaging, personable and considerate. A very rare coastal heat wave hit during our stay, and Rita went out and purchased a circulating fan to deliver to our door at 10 pm. I hesitate to use too many superlatives here – word will get out, and I fear we will never be able to snag an open spot on their calendar again! (Verizon cellular users note: the Montecito hills are 1-2 bars at most as of May ‘14 – so enjoy the peace and quiet like we did, and revel in telling the office in all honesty that you may be unreachable.)

Rita's Carriage House was clean, quiet and comfortable and she was a thoughtful hostess. We didn't get to spend much time at the house but enjoyed early morning hikes on nearby trails. This was a nice retreat while we were in town for some events.

I was greeted in the drive and my suitcase was very graciously carried up a steep set of stairs for me. The room is larger than it looks in the photo, and the bathroom has a clawfoot tub as well as a separate shower.

My grand daughter and I had a magical time! Our host was so friendly and accomodating. The room was clean, the king size bed was super comfy and the grounds around the house were gorgeous.

Excellent Experience! Wonderful 'secret garden" - type location in the mountains of Montecito And 5-minute drive to town. Super comfortable, quiet and friendly atmosphere ~~~ we would love to return!

Nous remercions Rita et Montino Pour leur accueille chaleureux Ne parlant Anglais ils se sont montrez très patient et Montino qui parle très très bien Français c'est mis en quatre pour m'aider dans mes démarches à effectuer La maison est un havre de paie et les chambres très confortables et très propre Adresse à retenir absolument Jacky

Amazing way to slow down and relax. Pictures don't do it justice. Rita and Alex were very accommodating. The claw foot tub was amazing to bathe in. The property was wonderful. Wish I could stay forever

We had the most amazing time in both Jill's place & in the Santa Barbara area, wished we'd book a few more days. Communication was very easy & the place had everything we needed for our stay.

We ended our trip to California with two nights in the Beach Cottage and it couldn't have been a better final stop! Jill was very welcoming and we found the cottage exactly as we expected based on the photos. The beautiful beach is just steps away and there were even beach towels provided in the cottage. Jill's restaurant tips were great. Thank you for hosting us at this lovely place, we would love to return for a longer period of time one day!

Jill was very helpful and accommodating from the beginning. She gave us suggestions where to eat, have a glass of wine, and hiking. We loved her place. The location was the best part super close to the ocean. It was exactly what we needed for a little quiet weekend getaway. Thanks again!

The place was great and it was very easy to coordinate with Jill. It was a little difficult to find upon arrival (glad we got there during the day) but Jill's description was perfect. Access to the beach couldn't have been easier. Parking was easy. The weather was great. We were only there for a couple of days but had a fantastic time.

What a great experience. Jill was super responsive and helpful, and even left us a bottle of wine! The place is great, really nice kitchen with a Viking range, the bathroom is new, and there's a great private outdoor patio area where we enjoyed that wine with some cheese we picked up in town. The beach is just a hundred yards down this quiet street, you could easily just hole up in this adorable cottage and unplug from the real world.

Upon arrival Jill greeted us with the keys and gave us a warm welcome and gifted us a bottle of wine for my boyfriend and I which was very sweet. She gave us a brief tour of the home and answered any questions we had. The location was amazing, less than a 5 minute walk down to the beach. Clean, cozy, and simplistic! On the 2nd night we were able to see a clear sky of stars outside on the private patio which was lovely. The only thing was the kitchen was pretty bare bones, we saw the photos of the kitchen prior to booking and planned to utilize the kitchen and cook a lot. We ended up making due and loved it. We purchased measuring cups which we left behind for new guests :) Hope to return again when we want another getaway!

The cottage is a perfect little getaway space! It's beautifully appointed and very comfortable. We loved that it was so close to the beach! The enclosed patio was great to park our bikes and stroller and a cozy yard was great to relax in:)

Jill's Place is so relaxing! The air is clean, the place is stylish, and the city is quant. The house is literally steps from the beach! I wish I had more time so we could have explored a bit more but it was a perfect trip.

This place is such a "find" that I don't want to say too many good things for then it may be booked when I need it..lol. Comfy, cozy, clean and private. Will stay again if it's not booked : )

Zoe was super accommodating and responsive to all our requests and questions! The space is absolutely gorgeous, and a short drive to Santa Barbara! There are a couple of great restaurants and shops around as well! We loved our stay! Would definitely recommend!

The description of the cottage was accurate, the garden is lovely. The highway is very close just across the street however the noise is not disruptive, you can barely hear it once you are inside the cottage.

Zoe was very responsive to any questions we had, and it was a pleasure to stay in her guest house. It was cozy, well-appointed and perfectly located for our needs. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to our friends in need of accommodations in the Santa Barbara area. Thanks, Zoe!

Lori, Zoe's mom, lives in the house on the same land. She was very friendly and very available for us. We arrived on a Friday night at 10 p.m. and she made sure to give us a tour in the house as well as a great quick conversation. My husband and I had a wedding to attend at the Four Seasons Biltmore - short drive from the house. His father in law came with us and the cottage was just perfect for the 3 of us. The garden in the back was so nice to get some sun on an afternoon. I would definitely recommend this place and would love to come back! Thank you Lori and Zoe!

Girlfriend and I stayed here for a Santa Barbara/Ojai getaway trip, which this place served perfectly. We actually ended up going to a couple of nearby restaurants in Summerland, courtesy of Zoe's recommendations. We never got to interact with Zoe, which was fine as we wanted to be left alone for the weekend, but she was fast to respond and communicated that she's available if we needed anything. We loved the patio and the whole cottage feel - it was all very cozy and relaxing to stay in. The double shower heads was also a nice touch! There is some highway noise, but it was more of a steady hum that we easily got used to - nothing bothersome. Would definitely stay here again if we go back to the Santa Barbara area. Thanks Zoe!

Zoe's place was beyond amazing. Specifically the little outdoor garden/backyard patio where we had our coffee every morning and a night cap every night. The place was in great condition. We felt completely at home. Perfect place for any occasion! Thanks for your hospitality Zo

Nothing like this Location walk to summerland and close to Ymca etc. everything was so clean and room to be private and spread out.

The shower didn't work which was a real disappointment. Just no way to turn it on without the water flying all over the time bathroom. I think a room at the Montecito Inn would have provided a much better experience at the same price.

Shaye's romantic little cottage is just perfect for a little weekend getaway. Nice Mermaid-themed ocean decor, great little patio, and maybe the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in! We had a lovely stay and will certainly return.

The little casita is very nicely decorated and has the most confortable bed we've stayed in at any airbnb! Location is walking distance to the small beach and town and parking is very convenient. All in total the room is very nice but overpriced. Bathroom is tiny (hardly fits one person) and shower splashes everywhere but where you need it. Fan makes horrible sounds. Strange contacts, never met anyone of the renters. Shaya wrote they did not come to greet us because they didn't want to disturb us!? Never heard anything after this message. It's more like a holiday home rather than airbnb i guess ....

I want to live here.

We had a lovely stay at Shaye's casita. The room was comfortable and only a short (and very pretty) walk to the beach. Shaye was responsive and easy to communicate with. Only wish we could have stayed longer!

Unfortunately our stay at the Casita Studio was a bit of a disappointment. The location was good, though quite close to the highway (you can hear cars from inside the unit). The casita was cute and had a comfortable bed, but as other reviewers have mentioned, the bathroom is a bit of a disaster... it desperately needs to be updated and is not functional. The outdoor shower is a neat touch, but unless you want to put on a show for the neighbors who look down on the shower from above, you will be stuck using the mess of the shower in the crummy bathroom. Wifi did not work for the duration of our stay and the host wasn't too interested in correcting the issue. A weekend spent updating the bathroom and a little more attention from the host would really improve this unit.

This was my first time booking a place with Airbnb, and Shaye made the experience very painless. The place looked exactly as described, extremely comfortable bed and room, and perfect for a quick weekend getaway. The studio was walking distance from all the shops and restaurants, which were nice to walk through if you're looking for a relaxing trip. The beach was also a quick walk/drive away, and was a great morning experience! I definitely plan on booking this place again when I need to relax :)

We had an amazing time at the Casita Studio. The picture represents the space very well and its only a 10 min walk to the ocean or a few minute walk into downtown Montecito. Share was an amazing host. We would definitely stay here again.

Pamela was an A+ host. Prior to our arrival her responses were always prompt and her instructions were very clear. The studio was super clean and well equipped with everything we needed to make the most out of our stay and the surrounding area. The location was perfect - Montecito, the beach, and the Biltmore were all a very short walk away. I'm already trying to find an excuse to return and stay with her again.

Pamela was a great hostess. She gave us great instructions for our arrival and great suggestions for activities in and around her adorable casita. She even has an entire notebook with menus, maps, and tour suggestions available for her guests. The casita was comfortable, quaint and quiet. The gated patio made it feel like a private retreat. We loved that we could walk two blocks to restaurants and shopping and two blocks to the beach. Thanks, Pamela!

Total gem! Quiet space, great hosts, and short walks to the beach and shops.

This cottage exceeds all expectations. We were able to walk everywhere surfing, restaurants etc. And Pamela and Jim were very helpful with information about local surf breaks and restaurants I will be back and this will be be my only spot in Montecito

Pamela was very friendly and the casita was clean and just as cute as pictured with all amenities needed. We were impressed by the complete quiet and privacy even when the owners were home in the separate house. Highly recommend.

My girlfriend walked in and said "OH this is so cute!" Seriously it was perfect. Extremely easy to get on and off the highway from the location. Pamela was welcoming and super sweet. She was right about the short walk to the beach. We loved all the extra accoutrements she had ready; towels, beach chairs, water. It's close to the train tracks so you'll probably hear it come through in the morning.

Perfect stay in a comfortable, roomie, well-equipped and very quiet "casita" - I didn't know what that was before; but it is a separate/detached little cottage that shares a driveway with the main house. The casita is very private despite being on the same property as the house. If we're ever in Santa Barbara again, will definitely stay here again.

Pamela and Eric were great hosts they greeted us upon our arrival and were quick to make sure we were all set before letting us be. They even brought us over a lantern just in case of a power outage and called ahead of time to warn us of some unexpected traffic we might encounter.

This place is awesome. Great location for beach and town access. And Catherine was a welcoming host, who ensured we had a good stay. Will certainly be back.

Catherine was so lovely and welcoming. Even though we only stayed for one night, her cottage was super cozy and comfy. She was available for any questions we had and suggested wonderful places to visit. Would have loved to stay longer.

Studio cottage as advertised. Comfortable, quiet, and a quick drive to the beach, as well as shops and restaurants. Very ideal for a couple staying for the weekend with access to Santa Barbara and the central coast in general. Our host Catherine was very hospitable, welcoming us and checking-in occasionally to make sure we had all that we needed. Wifi works well, and the kitchen was stocked with fresh fruit, snacks, and a variety of drinks. Great stay, and would definitely recommend.

Catherine's cottage is wonderful. Comfortable, peaceful, charming, and located a quiet scenic area that is close to dining and shopping. It is a short drive to Santa Barbara hotspots and near the beach - but despite the convenient location it is a great place to relax away from the hustle and bustle. I really appreciated Catherine's thoughtfulness, responsiveness and communications. What a great AirBnb host! And the little goodies she left in the cottage were a special treat. Thank you!

Catherine accommodated us on very short notice, and the stay was everything we could have hoped for from a last-minute getaway. The cottage was clean and lovely, and had a large comfortable bed. The space was stocked with everything we could have needed for a longer stay, but didn't feel small or crowded. The neighborhood is quiet, and only a 10 minute drive from downtown Santa Barbara. Wish we could have enjoyed it longer!

Staying at Catherine's cottage was wonderful! Gorgeously appointed at the end of a beautiful garden path. Catherine was generous and thoughtful and was sure to check in with me to ensure I had everything I needed. I would highly recommend staying here.

Most definitely a 5 star experience. The cottage is exactly as described and then some. The gravel garden path leading to the cottage is as charming as can be and Catherine provided special touches and local recommendations to make us feel very welcome. (We had a great dinner at Lark.) The location is perfect for quiet R&R and we hope to find ourselves there again. Thanks, Catherine!

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage is perfect. The location is close to beach, shops and food options and a $15 taxi to downtown SB.

This beautiful home is tastefully decorated and the gardens are exquisite! A rare find with hosts that provide delightful surprises and extra touches that make you feel welcome. Private and quiet they interact as much or as little as you prefer. Definitely need a car to get to restaurants and shopping but they are only 10 mins away. Also close to the Beach!

We had an excellent time at the Cabana in Montecito! We came down from for a pre-baby getaway and it was perfect. Nicely tucked into the hills of Montecito, you get an extremely well appointed cabana/suite in an incredible setting that's just secluded enough while still being only ~5 minutes from Montecito town center itself and only another ~5 minutes into Santa Barbara. And Dino is a great host and super accommodating (I asked him for a little extra traction in the tub to help my pregnant wife getting in and out, and he was more than happy to oblige, and in no time!). Can't recommend this place enough -- an outstanding value and ideal experience!!

Do not hesitate to book this beautiful space! We loved every minute, appreciated the care Dino and Florida have taken (and actively take) to create a beyond beautiful, restful and inspiring space. Florida's garden will take your breath away and Dino's recommendations were spot on. Beyond that, they are gracious hosts who went out of their way to make our stay perfect!

What a beautiful stay we had at the Cabana Las Floras! Very peaceful, relaxing and the grounds are just stunning! The pictures do not lie. Thank you Dino for also recommending the massages. You have the perfect setting for it and we couldn't have been more satisfied with our masseuse. We only wish we had more time at the Cabana and less time with family events. But we will definitely return to your place anytime we head down to Santa Barbara. Best airbnb experience ever! Warmly, Dennis & Denise

Dino & Florida were incredibly nice and welcoming. We hadn't yet met Florida but when we did she already knew all of our names. The grounds are peaceful and beyond beautiful. Dino & Florida granted us much privacy but checked in regularly & made it known they were readily available for any questions or issues. The cabana was perfectly clean, beautifully decorated, and extremely comfortable. I've only been home a few days and I've already raved about their house/garden and recommended their place to many friends and relatives.

Incredible! We didn't want to leave! Dino and Florida were accommodating and welcoming. The place is beautiful! So serene and lush...a little tropical getaway without the long flight! We will definitely be back. Highly recommend!!! Thank you!

Simply put Outstanding! Dino and Florida were exceptional hosts. Their home was spotless, inviting and peacful. We would highly recommend it. Hopefully our paths will lead us back someday. Tom and Liza

When it says "Tropical Cabana", it should be "Tropical Paradise"! We were amazed by the beautiful and peaceful botanical paradise that Dino and Florida have created and proudly share. We enjoyed the setting so much that I think we saw less of Santa Barbara (though this location is very convenient to many other beautiful places)! Dino and Florida did everything they could to make us comfortable and well-informed. Some of our highlights were watching the stars from the hot tub on cool evenings, cooking breakfast on the patio while some relaxed by the pool, and exploring every beautiful corner of the unique garden. Beautiful outdoors and comfortable beds and accommodations indoors made for a very peaceful and relaxing vacation. Thanks!

We couldn't have picked a better spot for my friends, family, and I to celebrate my birthday. It's an amazing place and I feel lucky to have experienced it. I hope to return soon.

Great place, clean, up to date. Awesome location. Madeline was responsive. Overall great experience.

She was very helpful though remote. We had a minor issue with the door code not working when we arrived, late at 12:30am. But Madeline was available for a phone call late, and guided us to the hidden spare key. To make up for the door code issue, Madeline also threw in access to the rest of the house and a bottle of wine. Really worked out great.

We had a wonderful weekend stay in Montecito. We were there for our son's tennis tournament and Madeline's beautiful home was extremely convenient to the tournament sites in both Santa Barbara and Montecito. The setting was beautiful and we really felt we had a mini vacation. Madeline was a gracious and responsive host. She was in contact with us pre, during and post stay and was immediately available on the phone to answer a question we had. The facilities were top notch and immaculate. Would highly recommend and would definitely book again.

The place is amazing! Madeline was really friendly all the time. The place is very peaceful and has a super nice environment. Montecito has incredible houses and this is one of them. The location is really close to Santa Barbara and the down town of Montecito, which is beautiful as well. My family and I loved staying there. We will come back for sure!

When my husband and I needed to make a last-minute trip to Santa Barbara, Madeline was super responsive and very accommodating. The beautiful home is in a gorgeous, quiet, private neighborhood, and the suite was immaculately clean and well-appointed with everything we needed. Very comfortable bed, great shower, and plush linens made it even more enjoyable. Peaceful morning coffee on the patio, surrounded by the lush landscaping, made us feel like we were miles away at a high-end resort. Would definitely return to this Montecito gem. Thanks again, Madeline!

The air bnb was amazing, beyond expectations. The host was very helpful and pleasant to work with. Would definitely recommend staying her. Perfect location not too far from downtown Santa Barbara or the beach.

Madeline was in contact with us from booking until our smooth arrival! She was very helpful and prompt responding to our questions. The neighborhood and yard was beautiful and the room very comfortable. I would stay again!

Such a beautiful property, and everything was nice and clean. No kitchen use permitted, but that gives you a good excuse to try out all the great restaurants in the area. Host was great with communicating - making everything seamless. Thanks!

Josephine described the cottage perfectly. It was a nice retreat.

This place is an absolute dream. The natural light is beautiful, the bed is comfortable, and there are plenty of old books on the shelves to look through. We had a car so we were just a short 4 minute drive from restaurants and the beach. Josephine recommended Pierre Lafond for coffee and we ended up going there twice. it was an overall great stay, we truly have no complaints.

We had a wonderful time here - charming, and quiet - and exactly as described and pictured.

Totally charming place, we look forward to staying here again.

We really liked the location, the decor and how responsive the host was to questions. We enjoyed the evenings in the home. We put the heater on , dimmed the lights and it was very cozy. This was had more of an old cabin feel so it does have a few spiders in the rafters. As another reviewer had mentioned, we found the dishes to be dirty and had to wash them first before use. The shower head height and water pressure were low. There was no wifi which we did not know prior to booking. Overall though, if you are looking for a cabin in a quiet, secluded area surrounded by greenery, this would be a good spot to choose.

We had a lovely time. Josephine's place is full of charm and in a great location.

Josephine's place exceeded our expectations. So delightfully charming. Thoughtfully decorated, with a well-curated bookshelf and cozy places to sit. Perfect romantic anniversary getaway.

All that was promised and more! Beautiful setting and home. Peaceful and tranquil. A bit of "Old school" Montecito. Time travel well spent; defiantly planning on a return. Cozy home...

We loved staying in Carla's rental room inside her house. The estate is absolutely stunning, and the size of the room was perfect for my daughter and I. The location was super close to downtown montecito, about a 5 minute drive to downtown Santa Barbara. She was super welcoming, and made sure that our stay was comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet, and honestly just what we needed. Will hopefully try and stay there again in the future!

We had a wonderful experience staying at Carla's home! Carla was a lifesaver as the host we had originally booked with cancelled on us last minute. She responded quickly to our inquiries, and received us with a warm welcome. The room was perfectly appointed, and it was fully equipped with the essentials necessary to make our stay comfortable and delightful. And it really does have a beautiful view! Overall, I would highly recommend staying here!

I can't say enough about this magical, even majestic, place. Carla's house is serene, quiet, and more like a resort than an air B and B. The jacuzzi, starlit night, lazy hammock and lush landscape, remind me of scenery from a storybook. The hostess even suggested we eat at Plow and Angel in Montecito - set amid an outdoor patio adorned with twinkle lights, overhanging trees, shabby chic furniture, by the warmth of a large stone fireplace - we ate and slept like royalty that night.

The room contained all that was stated. Very comfortable bed, spacious shower, and an Apple TV with tons of streaming content. Parking was not an issue and the location was great, near the 101 in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by lots of trees. We had no complaints at all.

We had a most enjoyable stay at Carla's lovely home. Imagine lodging in the heart of Montecito, directly across from legendarily Birnum Wood Golf Club with the coast range as your backdrop. Once you enter the property your feel as though you've arrived to a Tuscan villa. Everything was first rate. Exceptional.

Carla was an excellent host! Very friendly, welcoming, and speedy communication. The description and photos of the house were all accurate. Very beautiful home with an inviting atmosphere. Unfortunately, my boyfriend and I did not take advantage of all the amenities provided like the pool, jacuzzi, and relaxing looking hammock, but we were thrilled it was all provided. Also loved that our room had AppleTV so that was a nice surprise. Thanks, Carla!

Such a wonderful experience! Carla has a wonderful and beautiful home in montecito. Our room was filled with charm. It was extremely clean and aesthetically pleasing. With minutes to the beach and a beautiful view of the mountains, if you're looking for a place to set your bags down in Santa Barbara, look no further!

Carla was absolutely amazing as was the room! I had a terrible experience earlier that day with another AirBnB place so I requested to book with Carla at 6:30pm for that same night. She responded immediately and was easy to communicate with. It was such a relief to be at such a nice and inviting place. She gave us recommendations for a local hike and breakfast spot, which did not disappoint. Couldn't have asked for a better host or place to stay! Would definitely recommend booking with her, as I definitely will again when I'm back in the area!

It was a wonderful stay, very relaxed. A quiet place to hang out. Thanks for the frienfly and warm welcome.

Absolutely positive- great hospitality & fantastic place-

Hostess was wonderful, room was spacious and delightfully comfortable! Excellent privacy, great neighborhood. Hostess was thoughtful and flexible. Cannot praise enough, would go again.

A Walker's Paradice Josie and Diane we're great to deal with, were very friendly and welcoming, and responsive to our questions. The room is a large private suite with a private entrance, and has a lovely garden view on the balcony , with good Wi-Fi, high-quality bathroom features, Venetian Plaster Walls, orchids, and a refrigerator and microwave. We were greeted with a lovely bottle of wine. There is a one hour round-trip beautiful walk on a Montecito walking path through a beautiful oak Forest, which is adjacent to the property, and you are 7/10 of a mile from the upper village in Montecito, which we like very much. It was only a seven dollar Uber ride to the lower Village/Biltmore. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would recommend highly staying here. We look forward to our next visit. Thank You Josie and Diane for making it special!

The place was perfect for us. Spacious enough, quiet, and very easy. We felt as if we had our privacy, but Josie made us feel welcome if we needed anything. We had a last minute booking and arrived very late, but everything was perfect and adjusted to make our stay effortless. Thanks!
