Great place, close to town
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.

Perfect Summer Getaway
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.

Montecito apartment
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.

The absolute best!!!
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.

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!

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!
