Embrace the Montecito beach lifestyle with your first step into Seaside Cottage.
Completely updated and restored in 2008, no detail was left untouched in this romantic escape. The designer furnishings, new kitchen, new bath and cozy master bedroom all combine to make this the best in Montecito beach living. Authentic antique touches are everywhere; including 1880's stained glass windows, vintage Roycroft 1903 hand made chandelier, and a 1903 electric fireplace with glowing glass embers.
The beauty and comfort continue as you walk outside to the creek side sandstone patio area. The river-rock fireplace can warm you on chilly winter nights or just to create a mood for peaceful nighttime conversation. To the right is the colorful Tuscany inspired lion's-head fountain, crafted on-site by talented artisans. Lounging and dining are easy in the quality hardwood teak furniture. A grand 200 year-old sycamore tree offers partial shade during the heat of the day. Pick fresh herbs from the herb garden,flanked by Meyer lemon and Tangelo citrus trees, which provides rosemary, thyme, chives, and spearmint to be used in the gourmet kitchen.
The brand new kitchen boasts a custom cobalt blue Viking range, new Fisher-Paykel refrigerator featuring a fast chilling wine rack, dishwasher, and many other amenities. Fresh cold drinking water is provided by the Everpure micro-filtration system. The surfaces are beautiful; natural maple wood cabinets are contrasted with colorful and detailed tile work. Even doing the dishes is a pleasure while looking over the patio to the creek bed below. Ideal vacation home for the gourmet chef.
The living areas are colorful and comfortable. The bedroom feels like a fine hotel room and if you want to shut out the sunshine in the early morning or for an afternoon siesta, just use the remote control to operate the "Solar powered" shade in the skylight. The new bathroom has a special porcelain, oversized claw-foot tub and all new fixtures. The Living Room and Dining room are well designed and offer plenty of room for lounging and dining.
Two of Montecito's best beaches, Miramar and Hammonds, are just a half block away. Montecito Lower Village is an easy two minute drive. Santa Barbara, with its many attractions and beaches, is an easy 10 minute drive.
Seaside Cottage is certain to satisfy your need for the perfect beach getaway. Please consider it for your next Montecito escape.
NOTE: This property is a duplex and can be combined with the adjacent cottage (Seashell Cottage, VRBO #137905) to make a three bedroom/two bathroom home. Access passages can be opened between both living rooms and patios.

Wedding Anniversary
Guest: Lowell and Carol

Date of Stay: 05/27/11
Review Submitted: 05/31/11
We loved every minute of staying in the Seaside Cottage. This was our 45 Wedding Anniversary. We spent the evenings sitting outside by the fireplace with a glass of wine, listening to the creek behind us and the frogs. They were singing away. Walked down to the beach in the daytime. It was only a block away. What a wonderful weekend we had. The cottage is perfect for a couple. Very quiet area. Good Offstreet parking. The cottage was spotless. The kitchen was full stocked for cooking, lots of spices were there. The bathtub is hug. It really is a bath tub of two. Again we just loved it all.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, age 55+.

My wife and two small children took the Surfliner up from SD for the second time this July to visit "our" beach house in Santa Barbara. What a great experience. This is actually our second trip. (Last time we stayed next door in the Seashell cottage). Both places are extremely clean and well appointed. The beach is a 2 min. walk away, so we were there constantly. Great job on the renovation. Would totally suggest this to anyone wanting a true beach cottage experience.
Recommended for:Girls getaway, adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, sightseeing, families with young children.

(Transcribed from the Guest Book at the home) We are really enjoying this cottage! It is so clean, well taken care of, with everything we could want for our little vacation. Our two kids immediately drew pictures of an enchanted garden, no doubt inspired by this place. We are so glad we found this place to rent instead of a motel in Santa Barbara, which was our other option. Hope to come again. Thanks.
