Beautiful, clean and updated house for our family reunion of eight (ages 17-83.) The host was responsive and gave clear directions. Plenty of space to spread out in rooms. Quiet peaceful neighborhood with fantastic views and generous size deck. Updated kitchen that was well stocked. Laundry facilities were nice too. We all grilled and cooked many meals as a family. There were board games, tether ball, and excellent TV streaming options to all enjoy together. Able to do nice hikes in the hills. Santa Barbara downtown is about 15 minutes drive and great to shop and dine out. Would recommend for relaxing vacation trip for all ages.

Wonderful friends weekend!

The house was beautiful and a wonderful place to spend a long weekend with friends. It rained quite a bit during our visit, but we definitely took advantage of the outdoor dining areas with views of the mountains as much as we could. Even when it was raining, there was plenty of space in the open living room for our group to get cozy, play games, and relax together. This house is the perfect place for groups! The only call out here is that the kids beds might be too small for larger adults to share. It took us 10-15 minutes to get to most places we wanted to go in SB, which was fine by us. Uber required a bit of a wait to be picked up, but not an issue as long as you plan for it. Overall highly recommend this spot for your family or friends trip to SB!

Friends Reunion

We all loved staying at the Montecito Family Retreat. The house is lovely, roomy, well-equipped and very comfortable. The location in the hills is beautiful, and the deck has very comfortable seating, affording great views of the scenery. We all want to return for another stay in this house.

Need to hire different cleaners

We travel a lot and have stayed in a lot places. Never have I left such a message as this. But we paid a lot of money and I would like to request a partial refund for the cleaning we had to do on the property. There was still food on plates when we arrived and we let the property contact know about this. But then the list was just too long and we were busy with our family plan for our daughter’s graduation and I didn’t have time to keep communicating problems. The cloth sofas all need a good vacuum and shake as they were dusty and musty. The shelves were really dusty. There were large spiders we had to remove from bathrooms and spider webs everywhere. Some of the beds were not fully made - missing sheets. There were no kitchen towels and no face towels and very few shower towels. Many of the dishes were dirty and the kitchen was so disorganized. There were no kitchen knives, just cutlery knives. For the money we paid, we would like to be compensated for the messy and dirty rental.
