The property was clean, cozy, and well maintained. It had everything we needed for a weekend in Santa Barbara. The owner was very responsive but also respected our privacy. Conveniently located near the Village with shops, restaurants and a grocery store.

The cottage itself was lovely but the vehicle noise from the highway 192 and behind the house was unexpected and disappointing. I could not enjoy the patio...

Beautiful cottage in Montecito

What a beautiful quaint property. Our stay was so comfortable, quiet and had everything we needed. A quick car or uber ride to downtown Santa Barbara and very close to Montecito shops and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Pat!

Great location, great property and support

Neighborhood is perfect and Pat support is awesome. The only suggestion for improvement is appliance. If the customers are not planning to make some meal during the stay. this will be perfect place to stay. The appliance, refrigerator, cook stove, kettle are all quite old - which I have concern to use during our stay.Just a suggestion for the owner. Otherwise, it is perfect. Thanks,
