Great! Happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Montecito Modern. Thank you for being our guest and we hope to host you again. Sincerely, Paradise Retreats
The home and location was fabulous! Pool, hot tub and outside seating felt like you were in Italy with the vines over the outside dining table. Lots of space to be together and to get away and relax. Minutes away from the town and the beach I would highly recommend this location.
We had a great vacation that was unfortunately cut short due to some health issues I had to return to address.

Thank you for being our guest. We're happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. So sorry for your early departure and hope everything is well. We would love to host you again soon. Sincerely, Paradise Retreats
My family stayed in the property for a long weekend with another family, 5 adults and 6 kids all under 8. Our biggest problem was not having booked a longer stay. The exterior of the property wasn’t super clean when we arrived, but the management team was very responsive and had a crew out right away to clean up. The pool was amazing, and the property is stunning. The kitchen is very well-stocked. We plan to stay here again in the future, would also be great for a group of 5-8 adults for a weekend away.

Amazing Family Retreat
Great property for families of all ages. Nestled in the hills above Montecito, this property has it all. Multiple number of living areas makes it easy to find your quiet space or live it up in the game and TV room. Very easy access to anywhere in the Santa Barbara region, this house is impeccably decorated with an amazingly landscaped back yard.

Beautiful views!
Beautiful home with a great view. Kitchen is small considering the size of the house. Lots of rooms and the layout is confusing. We had a hard time finding access to the upstairs bedrooms - a door in the laundry room! Would have been good if there were cintronella candles for the patio areas and screens on the windows and doors. The house was very clean, comfortable beds, plenty of linens and the online photos are accurate. Not very toddler-friendly but good for everyone else! Downstairs game room is great for watching football with lots of seating and areas to play board games.
