We loved our visit to the Santa Barbara area and one of the highlights was definitely our stay at Creekside Montecito! It was most charming and comfortable and Nicola has thought of every possible detail and then some! It was better than we expected. Great location, close to the beach easy access to to everything else. We hope to visit again!

Owner response:Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I am glad that you enjoyed your stay and that you were comfortable and liked the location. It was great having you both and I hope you can come again soon.

Attending a wedding in Montecito, we knew nothing about the area (from Puget Sound, WA). This B&B was the perfect place for us - convenient to all of Santa Barbara and beaches, kind and helpful host and hostess (and son), clean and clever, many birds around the premises, quiet at night, with view of night sky. We spent two lovely days exploring and not enough time for all the possibilities. We hope to return.

Special Place in Montecito

We stayed here in October and really enjoyed every moment. The place is so warm and cozy and the breakfast was so good, it was so comfortable. The place was very clean and had everything we needed in the kitchen. The view from the front porch is gorgeous looking into a creek with amazing sycamore trees. It is truly just a walk to the beach. Thank you Nicola! It was hard to leave but we'll be back!

A wonderful place to stay for a couple while visiting Santa Barbara and Montecito

My lovely wife and I spent a relaxing week at this lovely place,Nicola and Cliff are very friendly and helpful staff. Close to the ocean, a 10 minute walk, shopping , wine country and all points everywhere. Breakfast delivered the night before, very omfortable bed, nice shower, fully equiped kitchen. On street parking, above a garage, steps to climb, good for most people. 1 blocks from the water, on 2nd level with a small deck,creek and beautiful mature trees, amtrack runs nearby several timea a day. Easy access to hwy 101, 1/2 a mile away. I would recommend to all couples looking for a nice relaxing place near Santa Barbara.

We had a terrific time. Your place is wonderful. The ambiance was very relaxing and reinvigorating at the same time. We loved the beach walks. Your choice of furnishing, decorating, food and treats was very world class and showed your attention to detail. Also, thanks for the restaurant suggestions we loved the food and setting of Playa Azul. Hope to come again soon.

Your B&B has been the most charming, the most lovely the most unique and the most relaxing ever. Our spontaneous decision to take a trip to Santa Barbara was well worth it. Your hospitality, your attention to detail, your amazing decor and your imaculate house had to be something that the world should see. Our stay was wonderful, our walks along the beach early morning, the wine tasting tour, our evening dinners in the town of Montecito our ride along the coast and our shopping downtown Santa Barbara. I enjoyed this wonderful getaway. The creek behind our cottage was the icing on the cake. We felt were in a magic forest. We are planning to visit you again. Thank you.

What an absolutely lovely place! We enjoyed the comfort and hospitality of our hosts. You went above and beyond what we have come to expect at BandB's. The view of the sycamore trees and the dry creek bed made me feel like I was out in the wilderness. Thank you for making this little treasure available to the public. God willing, we will be back.
