About this property

93108 / Montecito getaway !!!

Just renovated guest quarters in a modern home in the exclusive Montecito section of Santa Barbara. Private entrance. Easy street parking.

Over 400 square feet. Steam room shower, mini-refrigerator, microwave, queen bed / real mattress, 65' Samsung flat screen TV and Blu-Ray DVD player.

Free wireless internet.

Private patio area.

Guests must descend a dozen stairs to enter.

No air conditioning. Nor is there in the main house where we live. Rare in Santa Barbara houses due to its coastal location. This was never an issue for years but last few summers have had some record-breaking heat. We provide a powerful Dyson tower fan and an auxiliary fan which will make room comfortable if there is a “heatwave”. This is a rare rare occurrence.

House features views of Montecito Peak and is in a remote tranquil canyon.

The Pacific Ocean (beautiful Butterfly Beach) - 3 miles.

Closest restaurants / ATM / food market / pharmacy (Coast Village Road or the local's Upper Village) - both 2.5 miles

Downtown Santa Barbara (shopping, movies, museums, dozens of restaurants) - 3 miles.

Santa Barbara Mission - 4 miles.

Westmont College - 1.2 miles.

UCSB and Santa Barbara Airport - 12 miles.

Wine County (Santa Ynez Valley) - 30 miles.

Montecito is home to 'the Dude', Oprah, Sonny Crockett (if you are old enough to remember) and can be yours for the week or weekend.

What a wonderful studio getaway in Santa Barbara. Studio is just as pictured- modern, secluded and very comfortable. From the sectional and large screen TV for movies to a very comfortable bed and modern beautiful shower and steam room, It has everything we needed for the two of us to enjoy a few nights away. We loved the location close to the trails but not far from restaurants and shops. Hope to be back and would most definitely stay again. The hosts are warm and welcoming but also allow for your privacy. Thanks you!!

The studio apartment is attached to the house (which is unique and stunning) but feels private because it's down some stairs with its own entrance. It's as nice as the photos show, and what's even nicer is that it's in a beautiful and very quiet neighborhood with properties that are far enough apart for everything to feel private but also give you the chance to see beautiful houses dotting the landscape. The only thing that could have been better for us personally is if the bed were firmer, but that is just personal preference. We enjoyed being close to anything we wanted- you can ignore the city and be totally in nature, or be at Trader Joe's in 10 minutes. The Hot Springs hike was less than 10 minutes' drive. Breakfast at the Boathouse was less than 20 minutes away. We definitely recommend this as a great find!

Uncomfortable to drive to this location after dark.It is also in a remote part of Montecito. Although they said no AC, there is no fan on the premises, and it was very warm when going to bed, Yes, you can request a fan, but it should just be there.Also around 8AM a horn honked from the parking area 2 out of 3 mornings????

Place for a dear friend!

Our 85 year old aunt found the stairs a little scary so we switched her out and put a friend here! She loved the relaxing atmosphere and tranquil setting. Great hosts! Highly recommend!

The studio was exactly as described. It was quiet and extremely comfortable. We used the patio a lot. The hosts were responsive to questions and were very gracious when we managed to lock ourselves out. I would highly recommend this studio. We will be looking to stay again in the future!

Stayed for 5 nights and loved the place. Beautiful views just a short walk up the hill, open studio layout with a dedicated outdoor spot, and everything you could want to do/eat/drink is under 20 minutes away. We will certainly be back!

Beautiful Montecito stay

We loved our long weekend in Santa Barbara! Location not too far from where we wanted to go and my husband had fun driving through the hills. Small thing but I really liked having the Brita filter pitcher in the mini fridge to fill up my water bottle every day. Only downside was the bed was pretty uncomfortable.

Stylish Unit in Beautiful Location

The listing is not too good to be true. The pictures accurately depict this studio unit in the hills of Montecito. Everything was clean, and the check-in process with Lisa was very smooth. I would stay here again over any local hotel, without hesitation.
