Upper Unit Beachfront "Boathouse" House!

AdamRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Cozy and immaculately maintained 70’s nautical beach vibes. Extremely friendly and responsive host. A very special place! Two things I did not like: 1. 4pm check-in (3pm more reasonable) 2. 10am checkout! (Should be 11am) These adjustments would be more fair to guests still leave plenty of time for cleaning before the next guests arrive.

New Surf Loft at Padaro Beach. On the water in SB

MackenzieRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Very cute apartment by the ocean! The views are incredible - we saw dolphins every day and everything we wanted to do was a short drive away. The unit does not have direct beach access, but there is public access 3 properties down. Would definitely come back! We appreciated the beach chairs and towels since we were coming from the east coast and couldn’t bring our own.

Butterfly Beach: Sun, Sea & Style ~ Pets Welcome!

LisaRating, 5 stars5 days ago

This is a lovely bungalow in a great location. It has high-end furniture, fixtures, appliances, and 5-star amenities, including plush towels, luxurious linens, robes, soaps, lotions, etc. The host has thought of everything and then some to make guests comfortable. The location is within a short walk to the beach and to some of the best shopping and restaurants in Montecito. I sent a message to the host a few times and received an immediate response. Full disclosure ~ the house is next to the railroad tracks and the train does pass by occasionally. The freeway is also adjacent, and you can hear traffic noise.

Zen Retreat

LisaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

The drive to the property through acres and acres of avocado trees, beautiful flowers and a peaceful winding paved road was extremely pleasant. The walk up to the house was so beautiful with flowers and trees everywhere. and a large grassy area. We walked in and instantly knew we had found paradise. Judith's home was spotlessly clean. Minimal yet very comfortable furnishings; everything so tasteful with beautifully curated Japanese inspired art and housewares. Everything in the home gives you a sense of serenity. So many places to sit and look at beauty. There are fountains and lush grounds that add so much. We wished it had been cold so we could have had a wood burning fire each night. The Japanese pool (it is a hot tub but not plastic, it is beautifully tiled sunken tub) is a relaxing retreat any time of day and it looks out at a peaceful garden with a waterfall and stream. Judith is a lovely host, and her home is really very special. We will be returning often.
