The home was beautiful and spacious. It’s a little in the hills so it has beautiful views but still very close to town. We had a wonderful stay. It was truly a beautiful and peaceful home.

Great house, beautiful views

Stayed for three nights with some friends. Host was very responsive with any questions we had. The views were beautiful. The house had everything we needed and felt very secluded and quiet. It was about a ten minute drive to the downtown area. Highly recommend.

Beautiful well appointed property!

From the first communication with Andrea we knew this would be a fabulous trip, and it did not disappoint. Beautiful home, well appointed, easy to access and really stunning private views. Would highly recommend. Andrea was a pleasure to chat with and really made us feel at home. Can’t wait to book again!

8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
The host was very welcoming and responsive. The home is very comfortable and the views of the mountains are outstanding. Kitchen was well-stocked. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms well-appointed. I would have preferred better window treatments in the bedrooms to keep the early morning light at bay (to sleep in if desired). There were signs of ongoing repairs/remodels which detracted from our experience. My granddaughter scraped her food on a nail sticking out of the base board. I do feel that the parking for a home that holds 10 people was inadequate and I wish I had been warned about this before I made the reservation. But overall, it is a beautiful home in a beautiful location so I can overlook some inconvenience.

Lovely Haven

Our family convened for a memorial service for a dear friend and had considered a couple of hotel rooms, but I'm so glad we booked this lovely place. Andrea was very responsive. The house itself was clearn and comfortably decorated; the outdoor setting was relaxing and beautful, We weren't there long enough to cook, but it looked like the kitchen was well stocked, and there were lovely touches like soap in the bathrooms and snacks on the counter. And in the evenings, it was so nice to be together watching television, having a cup of tea and visiting together in such a lovely setting.

The host did not respond to my 2/6 message about having a catered dinner for 15 on 2/13. Caterer booked. When checking in, she agreed that was okay, then at 8:30 the eve before she sent a text saying no.The house listing encourages bringing in a private chef. To be told this last minute ruined my night and caused me to scramble for a new place as caterer was paid.Remodel obviously not finished throughout the house. The amenities throughout were a mess. This house was not ready to be rented. We felt stuck as we were in town for a wedding with nowhere else to go on short notice. The issues with the house: (1) Broken bedframe, (2) outlets and switches not working through the house, (3) washer and dryer were not hooked up and had to use up extension cords draping across the hallway to get the machine to work to be able to wash towels as requested by host, (4) master bedroom had locked closets.Was told to hang clothes downstairs as other bedrooms were in use. (5) Blue painters tape, putty, supplies stacked outside the house. Packages arrived daily with more supplies. 6) Lighting fixtures missing from ceiling and had exposed wires. Holes in walls. No outdoor lighting from very dark parking pathway to front door. (6) Downstairs bathroom did not drain, flooding bath and causing handicapped person to slip. She could not take any more showers while there as can't climb stairs. 7) New driveway not tied into road, deep gap, causing our rental cars to scrape badly.
One of many light and outlets that didn't work. Thought was charging phones-next morning--no charge happened.
Flooded downstairs shower--no drainage. Handicapped person had to call for help and was embarrased that two people had to come in.
Flooded shower, secong photos--see ripples--flooded whole bath and into kitchen. What a mess to clean up.
Putty up the staircase, raw wood, floor not done

Response from VrboOwner on 7 March 2026
Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry that your stay did not meet your expectations. Regarding the request for a catered dinner for 15 people, the listing clearly states that parties and events are not permitted at the property. Because of neighborhood and occupancy restrictions in Montecito, gatherings beyond the registered guest count must be approved in advance, and unfortunately I was not able to accommodate that request. During your stay you mentioned a concern with a bed frame, and I immediately offered to send a handyman to repair it. That offer was declined. I also checked in with you multiple times during your stay and was told that you were enjoying the home and that everything was going well. The home’s systems—including electrical outlets, appliances, plumbing, and driveway—are fully functional. The washer and dryer are properly installed with working outlets where they are located. There was no need to use extension cords, and no concerns about outlets, drainage, or appliances were brought to my attention during your stay. Had they been reported, I would have addressed them immediately. Additionally, the reservation was made for a specific number of guests, and additional guests arrived without prior notice. We still provided additional linens when requested. The photos included with the review are also misleading and taken at extremely close range, which does not accurately represent the condition of the home. The property is fully operational and maintained.
