About this property
Coral Cottage- Just minutes away from Butterfly Beach & Montecito's Lower Village!
Whether looking for a Michelin-star fine dining experience or barefoot sunset walk on the beach, it is all within reach from Coral Cottage. The prime Montecito location is the #1 amenity at Coral Cottage. From there, anything and everything is possible. Unwind and recharge just minutes from the world-renowned Butterfly Beach and Montecito's Lower Village.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage seamlessly blends classic traditionalism with modern features and updated finishes. The home can accommodate up to six guests with three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The inherent peacefulness will inspire guests to leave their cares at the doorstep, curl up with a good book, or enjoy quiet conversation. The fireplace, though non-functional, anchors the room and adds to the relaxed ambiance. The dining area is between the living room and the kitchen and seats up to six guests. The beautifully appointed, renovated kitchen with modern touches and plenty of counter space make this an ideal place for guests to mingle and collaborate with the chef in the group who is whipping up delicious creations! For casual snacking and informal breakfasts, there is a center island with seating for three. The laundry is behind closed doors adding convenience for long-term guests and refreshing the beach towels.
The primary bedroom features a dreamy king-size bed and garden views of the front yard. The neighboring bedroom offers two twin beds and a dresser. The third bedroom has a queen-size bed and a writing desk that supplies a quiet corner for studying or working from home. Two hall bathrooms were recently remodeled, one with a tub shower combination, the other with a glass, step-in shower, and both with a clean, fresh aesthetic. As is typical with many Santa Barbara homes, this property does not have AC. Open windows and the use of fans allow ocean breezes in to keep the house cool during hot summer months.
After a long day of soaking up the sun or shopping and sightseeing, unwind in the hot tub in the backyard. When dining al fresco on warm Montecito nights is on the menu, the backyard boasts an outdoor garden area with dining for up to eight guests and a barbecue.
Friday at the Farmers Market is a great day to pick up a few colorful flowers and organic produce for any weekend entertaining on the itinerary. Though a bike or a car is suggested to head up to the Upper Village, it's not out of the question to take a little longer walk there too. Make time to grab an espresso and the most delicious scones at Jeannine's, schedule a leisurely lunch at Honor Bar, or book a table under the stars at Oliver's, where the gourmet vegan fare is not to be missed!
If you require a larger space to accommodate extra guests or weekend visitors the property also uniquely offers a detached studio down the drive. This space features a queen bed and a sofa sleeper pull out as well as a kitchenette and private patio. Take a look at the Coral Casita listing to check availability as it could be the perfect addition to your stay!

This was the perfect little Montecito cottage for our family stay. The perfect distance to walk to both the beach and downtown Montecito (5-10 min) and could walk to the Rosewood as well. The team was very communicative and friendly. Would definitely stay here again!

Coral Cottage Stay
We traveled to Santa Barbara for a vacation with our two adult children, and Coral Cottage was the perfect home for our stay. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by how incredibly clean, comfortable, and spacious everything was.
The house offers wonderful indoor and outdoor living spaces, making it easy for all of us to relax and enjoy time together. Whether we were cooking, sitting outside, or unwinding after a day exploring, it felt like the perfect home base.
The cottage has so much character and charm, which made it feel special rather than just another rental. The kitchen is beautiful and extremely well stocked with everything you could possibly need to cook a meal.
The location is fantastic — just a 5-minute walk to the beach and a 5-minute walk into town, making it easy to enjoy everything without needing to drive.
Overall, this house could not have been more perfect for our trip. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Santa Barbara area.

Perfect location for a girls trip
We just returned from our stay at the Coral Cottage. It was so comfortable, felt like being home. The cottage was well equipped for cooking meals for our group. The location was also perfect if you prefer to grab a meal or snack at one of the many restaurant options nearby in the Village. Walking to butterfly Beach was also a highlight.
Ariana from VROSB was so responsive and accommodating, a joy to work with. I would highly recommend this rental to others for a family vacation or a weekend with the girls.
The communication was outstanding. I felt like the host was available anytime we had a question or needed anything at all. The property is beautiful, the proximity to the beach and coast village road made it easy to just park and walk everywhere- breakfast, dinner and shopping. The beds are comfortable and even though it doesn't have AC (most SB homes don't) they had a ton of windows and fans that helped bring in the ocean air and keep the house the perfect temperature. The architecture is very SB and the design was cute and approachable. One of our friends remarked that it was the comfiest couch they had sat on in a long time. Items in the kitchen are well labeled and we were happy to stay there and even met the couple and who was renting out the cottage/adu. Stay was great and would stay again.
We celebrated Christmas in this house. Gourmet chef in our group complimented the well appointed kitchen. We enjoyed the neighborhood and the outdoor space. We utilized the large outdoor table for brunch and we enjoyed the hot tub too. Nice, well located house in a great location!
We really enjoyed our stay in this spacious house. Very clean and very comfortable, including very comfy beds. All the amenities needed for a vacation and a really great location - walking distance to the beach, as well as the restaurants and shops in the downtown Montecito area. Also, far enough away from the freeway and railroads tracks. Note that there is a lot of freeway and road construction in the Montecito area and these improvements are very much needed. Freeway will be much better when finished! We will be back and I would highly recommend this property.
The location is great. Walking distance to lower downtown and to Butterfly Beach.The house is clean and is well stocked with towels. A few ants on the counter upon arrival, so we were cautious to keep all food wrapped up tight. We did not end up cooking, but the kitchen seemed to have all the kitchenware you would need. Basics are supplied (sugar, salt, pepper, oil, honey, ground coffee, some creamers), bring spices.We enjoyed the hot tub on a daily basis. Missing a big plant in picture so is a bit less private if studio is occupied. Important to use black wash tub to rinse feet to avoid brining sand in the hot tub.The studio (converted detached garage?) at the back of the long driveway and is adjacent to the backyard where the hot tub is located was occupied during our stay and made it feel less private to me (walking past the house backyard and house windows every day and talking in their adjacent fenced-in yard for several hours one evening made it feel like a shared property). Luckily, they did not have a car which made parking easy for us. The welcome book is very clear the house parks on the left side which means you can’t back straight out of the driveway. The studio parks on the right and is a straight line to back out.The couch and beds were comfortable with nice bedding and pillows.Overall, nice place and excellent location.

Dear Jeanne,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the home’s excellent location, comfortable furnishings, and the daily use of the hot tub, it really is such a relaxing feature. We’re also glad the home felt well-stocked with towels, kitchenware, and the basics to get you started.
We truly appreciate your feedback regarding the ants and the backyard privacy. While Santa Barbara’s coastal environment can occasionally attract ants, we do have regular pest control service and will make sure to follow up with them to help minimize any recurrence. As for the backyard, you’re correct that there is a detached studio on the property. We’ll review how this is presented in our listing and see if there are additional ways we can enhance privacy for both spaces.
Your notes about the driveway and parking clarity are also very helpful, and we’re pleased to hear the welcome book provided clear guidance.
We’re so glad you found the beds, couch, and linens to be comfortable, and that overall you enjoyed your stay. Thank you again for sharing your experience, we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Santa Barbara in the future.
Warm regards,
Lydia & the Vacation Rentals of Santa Barbara Team
Beautiful property! Excellent location for our girls trip. Easy walking distance to beach and downtown Montecito (shops and restaurants). Would be great for a family as well. Quiet neighborhood. Private and beautifully maintained yard and home. Great patio areas. Amentities were great. Comfortable furniture and beds. Kitchen was well-stocked. Communication was great. Responsive to all questions before and during stay! Entry and departure was simple. I would 100% book this property again! We'll be back!
Perfect Montecito cottage!
Wonderful experience. The cottage was quaint and clean and perfectly suited for our needs. The location couldn’t have been more ideal - situated a brief stroll away from central Montecito. We enjoyed every moment spent here and would love to return. Highly highly recommend !

The house is as advertised. The location is superb. Walking to butterfly beach and the lower village. The beds were super comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. The bathrooms are small but nicely remodeled. Be prepared for the low flow Santa Barbara shower heads!
