Great location, charming property
The upstairs unit is clean, stylish, and very quiet. We walked to the beach and downtown Montecito. Very close to everything. Comfy beds, great hot tub and a giant TV. We did not receive any check in info from the host before we got there, causing some stress and frustration. Turns out the VRBO platform wasn't sending me messages and texts from the host. VRBO should update their system to work with whatever the management company uses. Once we got that settled, the host was very nice and communicative.

Disappointing
In particular two glaring deficiencies: There were no washer/dryer in unit as advertised. The television was unusable our entire stay........only thing available were streaming services.....no even ROKU. We would stay here again. Service from hosts was minimal/not existent. Two service items were not attended to........shower light and an inoperable shade. No where near the service we received from previous hosts: Grand Welcome. We left 3 days early. Requested consideration of a credit. Received no response.

Bright lovely home in Montecito
Spent a birthday weekend here. The home exceeded my expectations. Close walk to the beach, town, and the Rosewood resort. Despite the proximity to surrounding attractions, my favorite part was spending time in the sunny living area and deck. I’ll be back for sure.

Perfect location - safe for toddler
We had a great two night stay at this beautiful apartment in Montecito for our anniversary. We brought our one and a half year old and we’re pleasantly surprised that the furnishings were in general very toddler safe - didn’t need to baby proof a ton. The location is perfect - an easy stroll to the beach and the little strip of restaurants in Montecito and the unit has its own little garden area and hot tub which we enjoyed. Communication was easy though we did have an issue with the AC not working one night and we were nervous to open the windows because the train was so loud and we didn’t want it to wake the baby. But it all worked out in the end. Also to note the train is just as loud when you stay at one of the houses on the beach by Miramar - so not generally something that bothers me, but the AC not working that evening was a bit of a bummer. The owner was very communicative though and checked in with us throughout the stay which we appreciated. We would definitely stay here again and I hope to return soon!

Cozy in Montecito
What a wonderful beach cottage in Montecito! We absolutely loved our stay. The cottage is adorable and so cozy, but the best part is the location: 5 minute walk to the beach or 5 minute walk to downtown Montecito! The best of both worlds!!

Wish we had stayed longer
This property is so well maintained and so beautifully, simply decorated. It felt bigger than I was expecting-the bedroom has double doors leading in, a closet, giant dresser and shades on all the windows. The bed and the sofa are both very comfortable! The kitchen has a little stove under the microwave and the cutest little 2 door pantry full of dishes and cookware. The deck has very comfortable lounge chairs and a large table with 2 benches and a great big sun umbrella. We brought along an accordion style barrier to keep our dog upstairs but the yard seems very secure (other than the front gate latch needs to be adjusted). The front yard is separated from the back yard by a very secure gate at the side of the house. I had pictured upstairs and downstairs dog guests roaming freely but it’s so great the way it is separated. Both upstairs and downstairs guests access their unit through the front gate. The back yard is for downstairs guests only-it’s so well laid out. Easy walk to the beach or to Coast Village

Best Montecito Location!
Loved this property! I stayed here for a week and didn't want to leave. It was the perfect place to work remotely. It's also so close to all the restaurants in Montecito and both Butterfly and Miramar beach which was great for taking my dog for walks. Truman was also great! He was very accommodating and quick to respond.

Getaway to the beach
This is very nice and comfortable property, perfect for a single adult or couple looking for a getaway to a lovely community and a nearby beach. Property is well-appointed, though the kitchen could use a few more tools, the apartment lacks a dining table and there isn't really enough lighting in the living room. Comfy bed, plenty of towels, and lovely furnishings. Beach towels, chairs and umbrella are available for guests. There was some confusion about check-in time but property owner was responsive.

Montecito Magic
Absolutely adored this upstairs unit. We will be back. Charming upper deck to recline and listen to the birds, and the fountain, and train in the distance with a glass of wine. Just perfect. The neighbors who checked in downstairs were lovely as well--our dogs became quick friends too. Thank you Truman. I'll be back!
