About this property

Seashell Cottage - Charming Hideaway at the Beach

2 BEDROOMS | 1 BATHROOM | 4 GUESTS

A romantic, secluded, and charming Paradise Retreats beach hideaway a half block from Montecito's favorite beaches and just steps to the Rosewood Miramar where you can wine and dine. This lovely cottage was beautifully updated and remodeled in June 2007. The designer furnishings, bright open floor plan, modern appliances, and peaceful rear deck combine to make a wonderful vacation escape. The rear deck overlooks Montecito creek, and is shaded by 200 year old sycamore trees. It is an easy stroll to both Miramar Beach and Hammond's Beach. Beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, beach toys, and a beach wagon are available for your use. Montecito's Coast Village Road is a 2 minute drive away. Downtown Santa Barbara, with its beaches, museums, boating excursions, and other attractions, is about 10 minutes away. Please consider this private and romantic cottage for your next retreat from the pressures of everyday life. You will not be disappointed!
