  The house and location are lovely. However, if you are renting on a weekday, be prepared to be awakened at 645 am by garbagemen, dressed in black, noisily entering property and rolling out garbage cans. also, who knows what other workers will show up to loiter around the property you have paid for and ring incessantly to be let in the gate....we had 3 tree trimmers on the property....so be warned, it won't be private during the week, AT ALL....and when you call or write to complain, basically, you get 'sorry' despite having paid for the right to use the property.

  Well everyone was telling us there was no summer in Santa Barbara. It was the first week in October and were they ever proved wrong. We had a most delightful stay at the Monastery in Toro Canyon. We grew up in Montecito so it was like old home week walking up the Canyon and down the road into town. We were so appreciative of the Lockwood de Forrest gardens on site that we took in a visit to the Lotus Land Gardens. We loved the sunsets, the perfect kitchen and the immeasurable beauty that surrounds this home. Thank you for making my Birthday so memorable.

  My family of four had the most amazing stay at The Monastery. From the early morning sunrise with fresh orange juice right off the trees to the breathtaking sunset with a glass of wine on the patio. Our two children had a blast as well. Exceptionally clean, excellent service from the property manager (great chef too), private, relaxing, and what a view! Everything is thought of for a wonderful stay. Will go back.

  Thank you so much for a fantastic weekend experience at the beautiful Monastery property. After a grueling tax season, this was exactly what the doctor ordered. The views, gorgeous architecture, and rich history behind the Monastery truly make this place one of a kind. The pictures on the website honestly do not capture how nice this place is. I just want to also say how appreciative I am of the friendly, helpful service you provided. We found everything we needed at the place- thank you so much for setting it up.

  A little slice of heaven..so peaceful, inviting, and the perfect place to entertain, even, while on vacation. The kitchen is every chef's dream..equipped with all that you need to enjoy yourself and entertain others. Once you get to The Monestary it is hard to leave because it brings the "outside in".

  Your house was set up perfect. We had everything we needed. We were taken good care of. The best was waking up early and watching the sun rise with a nice cup of coffee while sitting by the fire. Thank you again for letting us stay at your place. It is truly magical.
