(transcribed from the Guest Book at the home) The house is beautiful and has everything!! (Every time we needed some seemingly obscure item we found it in a drawer, closet etc). Amazing! So comfortable that I felt like I was in my own home. Kid's loft is awesome - what a great idea! Thank you so much!

(transcribed from the Guest Book at the home) What a wonderful house!! Many of our group were experiencing their first visit to the West Coast or Santa Barbara area. Our family shared many memories together as we were here for our nephews...wedding over the Memorial weekend. We loved everything from quaint Montecito restaurants to unbelievable ocean vistas along the Pacific. Thanks from the East Coast.

(transcribed from the Guest Book at the home) From 4 to 88 - family members of every age ooohed and aaahed at the charm of the house and its beautiful appointments. Even the hummingbirds feasting outside the windows provided us all with further proof we'd found the ideal get-away. Everything about the house speaks of care and luxury. Just gorgeous.

(transcribed from the Guest Book at the home) We came in from Wisconsin, our older son and family came in from Oregon. The occasion was to celebrate our younger sons PhD from UCSB (computer science). The house and grounds were perfect and allowed us to indulge in our family. Hopefully time and circumstances will allow us to visit again.

Of course we all loved the hot tub and the beautiful backyard...
