Our family had a great stay at Chris's place. The house offers multiple gathering areas for relaxing and spending time together, which is exactly what we wanted. There are many Montecito shops and restaurants nearby, and Santa Barbara and the airport are within quick driving distance. Communications with Chris went smoothly. Overall it was a wonderful experience.

This was the perfect house to host my family and I as we all travelled in from out of town for my wedding. We had two kids with us and they loved being able to run around in the backyard. The house was well stocked and had enough towels/linens for everyone including the room with the pull out couch. The grill was nice as well and we were able to use it during our first night there to cook steaks. The house is located near restaurants and stores so that was very convenient. It is near train tracks so we heard the train in the morning and there was also construction going on right by the house during the weekdays so we heard that as well. Overall, we had a great stay and I would definitely recommend it for big families (just be aware that there might still be noise from construction work).

Probably one of the best homes we have stayed at with our family of six plus spouses and grand children. The home does not look like much from the street but once you enter the gates it has meticulously groomed gardens with plenty of enclosed space for everyone. Inside the rooms are large, the home is clean and there was even a set up of dog bowls for our dog. The home is a five minute walk from Montecito and Butterfly Beach. Although the freeway parallels the home the noise level is next to nothing. Lastly, Chris, the property manager would get back to us immediately if we had any concerns or questions. We cannot say enough good things about this home, Chris and our fabulous week in Montecito!

Wonderful vacation

This is a really excellent house! We were a three-generation party of ten, two grandparents, three kids with spouses and two young grandchildren. The 4 bedrooms, with en-suite bathrooms, were roomy and afforded good privacy. The open living room/dining area/kitchen area was spacious and well equipped. The main outdoor space had a large turf area and a latticed dining area where we ate all our meals except breakfast. Walking distance to the beach and to shops/excellent dining. Close to the 101, but so well landscaped that we hardly knew the highway was there. Just wow! A solid ten!

beautiful home, great location

Really enjoyed our stay. 11 family members stayed comfortably here; felt like we all had privacy. Home is beautiful and garden areas are very peaceful and fun for the kids. A bit of traffic noise, but we got used to it quickly. Some trains going by, but not a big deal and only seemed to run occasionally during the day. Location was great, very walkable to the beach and to Montecito's lower village. We would definitely stay here again.

This house was so relaxing we had a hard time leaving to go do anything! Location is 10/10 - one block to town and 5min walk to a great neighborhood beach. 5min drive to the funk zone. Everyone was very comfortable and felt right at home. The kids loved running around on the turf in the backyard while we BBQ'd.

Perfect getaway!

We rented this property to celebrate my daughters first birthday. All of my family, 10 adults and the baby, had a great time at this lovely home! It felt like home away from home in the beautiful town of Montecito. Everything one could have needed or wanted for a long stay like this was accommodated in the home. One could tell the owners take great pride in their home and accommodating it for guests! My family would highly recommend this property and we hope that the future allows us to visit it again since we now know what to expect!

From the beginning to the end of renting the Spring House in Montecito, everything was smooth, well organized & very welcoming. The house is very comfortable & home-like & very well stocked for any type of need you may have...but the comfortable beds make it a true dream to sleep! I need to know what label mattress is in the master suite! The house is very well cared for & stocked with every ammenity. An excellent choice for luxury & comforts!

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

The Butterfly Beach area of Montecito affords our guests a unique and rare opportunity to enjoy many aspects of town on foot. Given how much time most of us spend in our cars, we felt that this was a special gift we wanted to share with visitors to Santa Barbara.

What makes this property unique

Walking virtually next door and being on the gorgeous grounds of the Four Seasons Biltmore is certainly special, whether lingering over Sunday brunch or having a facial and massage at the spa. Afterwards, a walk on the beach feels just right. Sometimes after sleeping in, it's fun to walk over to Jeannine's All-American Bakery and sit outside for a delicious breakfast or lunch. And of course, if you want to see and be seen, or do some celebrity watching, hit the night time scene at Lucky's, the hip Montecito steakhouse.
