Lovely warm and gracious home exactly as described. We rented the house for a family reunion which included four generations and everyone loved the house. The owners have taken great care to provide a comfortable vacation home with quality beds and bedding and a fully equipped gourmet kitchen. The rooms are filled with original artwork, interesting books, and fresh flowers. There was plenty of wood for the grand fireplace in the drawing room. The views from the terrace and the master bedroom and drawing room and dining room are exceptional, especially during sunrise and sunset. The owners provided a list of restaurants and grocery stores as well as local beaches and attractions and they made themselves available when we called with questions. A delightful rental experience. We'd highly recommend this rental.

Owner response:Thank you , you were a wonderful family I hope you continue to have many more 4 generation reunions. Those are precious memories and I am glad we could add to them.

Our entire family loved their stay in this house. The setting was perfect, the weather was beautiful and the pool was the hub for the afternoons. The terrace area was ideal for talking the day through with a glass of wine to hand, the house was cool and restful in the evenings and well equipped with everything we needed. What bliss not to need air conditioning. We would all highly recommend this home.

Owner response:We are happy you enjoyed santa barbara and our home.. thank you for this lovely review

This was our first time to rent a home, thus, I was concerned by what could go wrong. Well rest assured, we had a fabulous time, and the home was all we had hoped for and more. Our three grown daughters felt like it was one of our best family vacations. The home is fabulously decorated and the setting was picture perfect, it sits up on the hill in Montecito and look out over the ocean. The location is fabulous, close to the beach and Santa Barbara's city center. The owner was a delight to work with, he gave us tips on restaurants, beaches, golf etc.

Owner response:Thank you for taking the time to write this wonderful review.

Outstanding! Can't thank you enough for sharing your home with us. Our 94 year old Father practically lived on the porch, holding court with his family! What a view! Gorgeous Home.
