About this property

93108 / Montecito getaway !!!

Just renovated guest quarters in a modern home in the exclusive Montecito section of Santa Barbara. Private entrance. Easy street parking.

Over 400 square feet. Steam room shower, mini-refrigerator, microwave, queen bed / real mattress, 65' Samsung flat screen TV and Blu-Ray DVD player.

Free wireless internet.

Private patio area.

Guests must descend a dozen stairs to enter.

No air conditioning. Nor is there in the main house where we live. Rare in Santa Barbara houses due to its coastal location. This was never an issue for years but last few summers have had some record-breaking heat. We provide a powerful Dyson tower fan and an auxiliary fan which will make room comfortable if there is a “heatwave”. This is a rare rare occurrence.

House features views of Montecito Peak and is in a remote tranquil canyon.

The Pacific Ocean (beautiful Butterfly Beach) - 3 miles.

Closest restaurants / ATM / food market / pharmacy (Coast Village Road or the local's Upper Village) - both 2.5 miles

Downtown Santa Barbara (shopping, movies, museums, dozens of restaurants) - 3 miles.

Santa Barbara Mission - 4 miles.

Westmont College - 1.2 miles.

UCSB and Santa Barbara Airport - 12 miles.

Wine County (Santa Ynez Valley) - 30 miles.

Montecito is home to 'the Dude', Oprah, Sonny Crockett (if you are old enough to remember) and can be yours for the week or weekend.

Stylish Unit in Beautiful Location

The listing is not too good to be true. The pictures accurately depict this studio unit in the hills of Montecito. Everything was clean, and the check-in process with Lisa was very smooth. I would stay here again over any local hotel, without hesitation.

Great weekend getaway!

We had a great stay here! The studio was clean and spacious, and everything we wanted to visit in Santa Barbara was just a 10-minute drive away! The hosts were very communicative and friendly, too.

Cozy Getaway with Gorgeous Views!

I wish I’d had more time to stay at this beautiful “suite” in Montecito, with gorgeous views of the canyon, the sound of frogs in the evening, and owls at night! Even when not on site, Lisa and Chris were so great at communicating all the necessary details of my stay there. They have created the most inviting getaway space, with a comfortable couch, the most cozy bed, a shower with a steam shower function, snacks, coffee maker, Brita pitcher, and more! I love the welcoming entrance, with a guestbook of satisfied travelers noted inside, as well as the cork board maps to see where guests have visited from! Little attention to details that were so nice! I would love to stay there again when visiting my daughter in college in the area! Thank you, Lisa and Chris!

Beautiful stay in Montecito

Cozy Nest in the Hills

Our short stay in Montecito was made all the better by the warm and cozy accommodations. We had everything we needed and were just minutes from all that Santa Barbara has to offer. We would definitely return to this wonderful spot tucked away in the hills.

Absolutely beautiful little spot tucked away in the canyon! Ubers had some difficulty finding the location so just plan for extra time if that’s how you’ll be getting around. Great experience!

Peaceful Hideaway

We loved this little place in Montecito. We wanted to spend our honeymoon exploring Santa Barbara and the surrounding areas. It was a quick drive from town and close to hiking trails with it's own little outdoor space. Couldn't have been happier with our stay.
