Now...are you ready to make memories that will last a lifetime?
Just walk out your front door and you will find a secluded and completely private natural pool where you may swim and relax anytime of the day. Overlooking the pool, rest and restore yourself privately in our authentic Indonesian teahouse pavilion. Yoga, meditation, or just plain relaxation will be yours in our very tranquil and almost unbelievable tropical setting.
The cabana boasts a super comfortable luxurious queen size bed, walk-in closet, wood burning fireplace, large screen HDTV, a well-appointed kitchenette, WiFi, and, just outside the door, a top-quality barbecue. In addition, absolutely no traffic noise...only the birds and the bees. You will not be disappointed!
Explore the close by sandy beaches (2 minutes away), hike in the nearby pristine mountains, check out the interesting restaurants and shops in Santa Barbara (just 5 minutes away), enjoy wine-tasting in Santa Ynez (just 30 minutes away), or maybe even sail or kayak in the surf.
Or ask us for recommendations and we will be thrilled to assist you in any way that we can. We want your memories of your stay with us to be extra special!
In the evening, when you decide to leave the crowds behind, you may return to your quiet retreat and soak yourself in the healing warmth of your very own outdoor private spa.
Then, take a moment to survey the heavens and when you see a shooting star, make a wish!

My husband and I stayed in this amazing oasis recently and were blown away by the calm serenity yet close to everything in gorgeous Montecito. It was a perfect spot for us - and Dino and Florida are marvelous hosts. There when you need them, discreet when you don't. And Florida is a real pro when it comes to service and hospitality, showing up with wine, fruits, cheeses, just when you were needing a "little something". Dino was delightful, knowledgeable, and fun... we will be back for certain as we now have our own little place in Montecito - and 2 new friends. Forget the Biltmore... book this secret oasis! A great value, with warmth and character not found in a hotel.Recommended for: Romantic getaway.

The cabana was comfortable, well laid out and attractively decorated. It is secluded without any disturbing distractions such as traffic or construction. Our gracious hosts, Dino and Florida, went out of their way to be accommodating and afforded us our privacy. However the weather did not cooperate and we were unable to avail ourselves of the pool and spa. Although both were very inviting. The landscaping is spectacular and very soothing. The entire property is clean and well maintained. There were only two minor inconveniences for us. The beautiful claw foot tub was difficult for my 5' 2" wife to use because of the height of its side. Even the handicap grab bar on the wall opposite where you enter the tub was too far away for her. Also Wi-Fi reception was not strong enough for video streaming. Internet web browsing and email did not pose a problem. However streaming Netflix Videos was not an option. The television is a large HDTV with cable access and an enhanced sound system. We enjoyed our stay very much in this tranquil retreat.Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, romantic getaway.

Perfect spot for a couple to relax and enjoy the lush gardens. The accommodation described exceeded our expectation. The guest house is perfect for a romantic get-away. The area is gorgeous with estates, French bakery, charming coffee shop and quick drive to the best beach. The property is tucked six miles up the hill from the beach and far enough not to be disturbed by the train and its whistle. Florida treated us to a plate of delicious fruit and nuts and white wine during sunset. The spa added and ensured a good night sleep. We have already recommended this exceptional spot to friends coming to the area in August. 5 STARS. MarlaDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

The property is beautiful, clean and has everything you need. The property is close enough to town that dining is easy, but far away from everything so that you can relax and enjoy the solitude. The hammock area was so relaxing and serene. The jacuzzi is wonderful, definitely my favorite part! The sun was out all weekend which made the place even more beautiful. Dino was very welcoming. he's a photographer and his pictures are in a look-book at the house. Worth checking out. If you think this sounds too good to be true, don't. It was perfect and you won't regret staying here!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We were blown away! I would so recommend Cabana Las Floras to anyone wishing a luxurious, quiet retreat. The property and cottage was exactly as pictured - absolutely beautiful, quite spacious, very tastefully decorated and very clean. The pool and hot tub are amazing. Dino and Florida were gracious hosts; greeting us upon arrival and extremely respectful of our privacy. Go to Jeannine's in town for a nice casual breakfast.Did you find this review helpful?

Had a great weekend getaway! Everything was top notch. Way better than any hotel property in the area. Like staying at a bed and breakfast with even more Personal touches. Loved the wine and appetizer tray And the pool/spa is amazing. The area is great and located close to Everything you would want or need. Dino is a great host Offering what you need if you need it or just privacy Will be back but book way in advance for this one, its worth it.Recommended for: Romantic getaway.

Sometimes it's hard to put into words how wonderful a place is. My husband was speechless when he walked into this beautiful oasis. Dino and Florida have created an absolutely stunning paradise---it's obvious a lot of care and love went into it. Their helper Lisa had spotlessly cleaned, and was very helpful when we needed some kitchen supplies. The bedroom was beautiful, and the bed extremely comfortable. And the grounds---breathtaking! We stayed at the Simpson House last year, and we would choose Cabana Las Floras again in a heartbeat! The room is 3 times larger, and the pool, tea house, and gardens are incomparable, and Dino and Florida so warm and hospitable! Thank you Dino, Florida and Lisa for a fantastic vacation!!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

We had one the best stays ever at this paradise; the owners Dino & Florida have created one the most beautiful places that we have ever seen and we usually stay at beautiful places but Cabana Las Floras is the whole package from beautiful outdoor ares all with the purpose of relaxation and romance in mind to the beautiful spa (that yes is like your own natural hot springs) and the pool all surrounded by the most unique flora and can only imagine if this place looks like this during the winter season how much more beautiful can it be during spring and summer with the gorgeous landscape that just transport you to paradise and Dino and Florida are the most acommodating hosts that you can ever wish for because they have tought of every detail to make your stay unforgettable; we thank you for the great wine and nuts and fruit that Florida brought to us as soon as we arrived. The cabana is so beautiful and full of natural line with a spanish flair that makes you feel so welcome along with the personal touches (gorgeous orchids) and a beautiful bathroom with a soaking tub and a great shower to sooth your senses; so clean and well maintained with exquisite touches and plenty of luxurious towes. The bedroom is amazing with a french door that also opens to the patio and the pool area, great matress and a walking closet to keep everything organized; as beautiful as this place is we already started daydreaming of coming back to this paradise hopefully soon! Thank you Dino and Florida for everything, you spoiled us and I don't think that we will be able to match this VRBO experience anytime soon! PS. Don't forget to inquiry about their amazing breakfast experience we are so glad we did and next time we will also book massages;Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

My husband and I were looking to relax after spending Christmas with family, and this beautiful cabana fit the bill perfectly. Just as beautiful as the pictures, this oasis was the perfect base camp for all our activities. The owners of the house, Dino and Florida, were excellent hosts and were present (or not), depending on our needs. The cabana itself is very well appointed with details that I both noticed and appreciated. Starry nights in the hot tub, lazy mornings with coffee, and hikes/bike rides were how we spent our time. Hope to return soon.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0
