About this property

Coral By The Coast | Spacious & Just Minutes to Butterfly Beach

IDEAL FOR LARGE GROUPS - BOOK BOTH CORAL COTTAGE & CASITA!

Whether looking for a Michelin-star fine dining experience or a barefoot sunset walk on the beach, it is all within reach from Coral Cottage. The prime Montecito location is the #1 amenity at Coral Cottage. From there, anything and everything is possible. Unwind and recharge just minutes from the world-renowned Butterfly Beach and Montecito's Lower Village.

The main house (“Coral Cottage”) is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home that seamlessly blends classic traditionalism with modern features and updated finishes. There is a detached one-bedroom, one-bathroom studio (“Coral Casita”) on the property that enhances the property by providing an additional retreat.. The main house can accommodate six guests, and the studio can accommodate two.

The inherent peacefulness will inspire guests to leave their cares at the doorstep, curl up with a good book, or enjoy quiet conversation. In the main house, the fireplace, though non-functional, anchors the room and adds to the relaxed ambiance. The dining area is between the living room and the kitchen and seats up to six guests. The beautifully appointed, renovated kitchen with modern touches and plenty of counter space make this an ideal place for guests to mingle and collaborate with the chef in the group who is whipping up delicious creations! For casual snacking and informal breakfasts, there is a center island with seating for three. The laundry is behind closed doors adding convenience for long-term guests and refreshing the beach towels.

The primary bedroom in the main house features a dreamy king-size bed and garden views of the front yard. The neighboring bedroom offers two twin beds and a dresser. The third bedroom has a queen-size bed and a writing desk that supplies a quiet corner for studying or working from home. Two hall bathrooms were recently remodeled, one with a tub shower combination, the other with a glass, step-in shower, and both with a clean, fresh aesthetic. As is typical with many Santa Barbara homes, this property does not have AC. Open windows and the use of fans allow ocean breezes in to keep the house cool during hot summer months.

The bright and cheerful mood continues to the studio; the interior feels spacious from the high beam ceiling, and features a queen-size bed, a sofa sleeper, television, and a full bathroom with shower. An efficient kitchen is fully stocked, even for the long-term guest, with everything needed to prepare a lovely meal or a quick beach picnic.
​​​​​​​
After a long day of soaking up the sun or shopping and sightseeing, unwind in the hot tub in the backyard. When dining al fresco on warm Montecito nights is on the menu, the backyard boasts an outdoor garden area with dining for up to eight guests and a barbecue.

A stay at the Coral by the Coast is sure to be a hit for the whole family! Walkable to famed Butterfly Beach or Coast Village Road, the best of Santa Barbara & Montecito are truly at your fingertips!

Fantastic rental property. They pay attention to all of the details that most places look over. They even had box fans in the rooms for white noise. We would certainly stay here again.
