My Grandmother, Mother and I recently stayed at this property while we were in Santa Barbara visiting family in Montecito. Because we were in town for over a month, we decided to search for a home rather than stay at a hotel. We found a few available properties that met our criteria. However, we had trouble reserving a property that could check us in on short notice, given the length of the stay we required. After reading the reviews for Stephen's home, it was apparent that Stephen and his home consistently impressed their guests - so we booked it! The home itself was cozy, while also providing ample space for groups/families, plus a large private backyard (and lots of fruit trees!). It is beautifully decorated, and was very clean (Stephen also arranged for housekeepers/cleaners to come by multiple times throughout our stay). Stephen checked in with us multiple times to make sure that everything was going smoothly during our stay, and was timely in his responses to any questions that did come up. We truly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful home, and would definitely come back. Thanks again Stephen!
