Located close to the Santa Barbara Zoo, the beach, the pier, the restaurants, and a grocery store, this house was the perfect place to have a family vacation. The house had a pool, a hot tub, a billiards' table, and a ping pong table for on-site entertainment. Bravo to the owners for supplying ample amenities to cater to the needs of a larger family. We loved the backyard with its beautiful landscaping and the outdoor fireplace.

We had a family reunion in early January and had a wonderful time. The house was clean and well stocked. It had lots of seating to encourage conversations and a beautiful kitchen. There were also lots of things to do like a pool, jacuzzi, bocce ball, ping pong, bbq grill, and billiards. I would rate it five stars. A great time was had by all. Best Regards, MG

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Montecito because it offers the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. It's peaceful, beautiful, and surrounded by towering trees and stunning mountain views, yet just minutes from Butterfly Beach (one of our favorite beaches) wounderful restaurants, shopping, wineries, hiking tails, and everything Santa Barbara has to offer. We wanted a place where families could truly slow down and recconnect. Mornings can begin with coffee by the pool, afternoons can be spent playing bocce ball, swimming, or exploring nearby beaches, and evenings end with a soak in the hot tub while the kids challenge each other to ping pong or pool. The weather is pretty perfect year round which makes it perfect for vacationing any time of year.

What makes this property unique

Unlike many vacation homes where everyone disappears to separate rooms, this home was designed for spending time together. Five comfortable bedrooms with premium mattresses and luxury-quality bedding ensure everyone sleeps well after a day of adventure. The fully equipped kitchen, inviting gathering spaces and resort-style backyard make it easy to cook, relax, celebrate and reconnect. Plenty of room for everyone to find their favorite space.
