Family-friendly vacation rentals in Montecito

What a beautiful property! The backyard was like a sanctuary. We were walking distance to a beautiful beach and the neighborhood was quiet.

We had an amazing time, such a beautiful and spacious home. Thank you for hosting my family and I :)

This is a gem. Perfect location. Great house. Set up perfectly for our family of 5. The hot tub and back yard are so cute. The photos do not do this place justice. My family and I made some great memories here and would love to come back someday. John is a great host and we are so happy we chose to stay here.

Catie's place was really clean and had everything you needed to have a good stay. So many interesting items to look at, and I feel like I need another stay to see everything. Lots to do on the outside property and plenty of games on the inside. The kitchen was WELL stocked and the beds comfortable. The common rooms are big with lots of places to sit. Close to great hiking areas and town. Book it you will love it!

I cannot say enough great things about both the home and the information and responsiveness that Todd & Jodi provided during our stay. We were fortunate to find their place available at the last minute and could not have been more pleased with the experience. Home was beautiful and on a great piece of land, peaceful, quiet and convenient. We felt right at home, almost better than right at home, which was the whole purpose of our visit. Beds, bathrooms, kitchen and all the accessories of the home were top notch. All the recommendations and help in finding last minute winery visits and dinner reservations were incredibly helpful as well. We will be back.

This was our first experience with an Airbnb and wow, what a wonderful experience! Everything was even better than described! It took no time at all to feel like home. Aldo was incredibly responsive and very helpful. It is the ultimate Santa Barbara beach cottage. Next time we are in the area we will definitely want to stay here!

We had a lovely stay amidst a beautiful area surrounded by an avocado farm and tangerine farm. The home was lovely with many areas to enjoy both inside and outside the home. The grounds were beautiful with fresh herbs and beautiful flowers & landscaping. The kitchen was more than fully stocked with all kinds of cooking and serving abilities. The host was very responsive to all our needs and lovely. We would highly recommend this beautiful location for a peaceful stay amidst nature.

Beautiful place, well taken care of. Quiet, peaceful location with a beautiful private beach just a few minutes’ walk from the front door.

We loved absolutely everything about our stay at the Lost Shaker of Salt airbnb. The place was immaculate when we arrived and the layout was ideal for us, plenty of space for 3 adults and 2 dogs. The yard was set up nicely with chairs, lights, umbrella and firepit and view of the water. We loved walking along the beach with our dogs and the town has lots of restaurants with dog friendly patios. We would definitely stay here again.

I loved my stay here! The home is beautiful and very well-kept. You can tell Dawn put a lot of effort into making this place feel like home. She was helpful and very responsive. Great host, great home :)

What an amazing little beach home. We loved Ian's home. It was stocked with everything we could need, the home was clean and cozy and had an ocean view from upstairs. The neighborhood is amazing and there are several charming restaurants just a block away from the house. Highly recommend.

very nice place to stay, super cute, easy street parking. Was perfect for a few days with half kitchen and studio feel. 10 mins from the harbor.

We will definitely be returning! Waking up to sweet horses and chickens, surrounded by nature and feeling completely relaxed and at home. Nan was a delightful host who helped us with everything we needed and made our kids feel like they were her own.

Amazing stay! The apartment is located right on the beachfront with direct access to the beach — you can literally walk out and feel the sand under your feet. The place is clean, cozy, and exactly as described. We loved waking up to the sound of the waves and enjoying morning coffee with a sea view. The host was friendly and responsive. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful beach getaway!

Joy’s place was very close to the half marathon where our daughter was running. The studio was very dog friendly and comfortable

Enjoyed our stay very much. The bungalow is well maintained and has great character. The garden is terrific. Safe walkable neighborhood.

The condo was clean comfortable and quiet. The location was convenient to walking trails shops and the beach. Amtrak is a few blocks away for easy trips to Santa Barbara. I would definitely recommend Melinda’s condo in Carpinteria for a great beach vacation.

Small but efficient for us two. Great location in Carpinteria. We usually camp at the state beach but opted not to this year. Had everything we needed. Pool and spa were great. Complex was peaceful and other residents and office staff were very friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking in gated lot and the spots had plenty of room for our truck and there were bike racks inside the parking lot for locking up our bikes that we took. We only used our vehicle once it was too dark for bike riding, otherwise we biked or walked. Husband fished everyday for several hours while I got to sleep in, relax, watch tv, or walk up the street for shopping. Farmers Market on Thursday was great for buying fresh fruits and veggies and flowers.

We thoroughly enjoyed this sweet town of Carpenteria and Pam and Paul’s place was a wonderful place to enjoy it. The beds were very comfortable and was accurate in the pictures. We didn’t have a car and thoroughly enjoyed walking the town, beach area and salt marsh. Very quaint and picturesque setting. We loved seeing the Amtrak California Surfliner train and platform for people to board. On another visit we hope to explore more of the coast via the train as it snugs the coastline. There are multiple stops during the day and seems a fun way to do day trips elsewhere when having more time. Thanks for a great stay!

Very gorgeous place to stay! Highly recommend! We really enjoyed our stay, Lindsay was amazing host! The place it self is very very beautiful, exceptionally unique. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in Santa Barbara with their loved once and have quality time. Loved it!

We had a magical weekend retreat at Jennifer’s Glass House. It was so peaceful, the unique architecture was perfect for taking in the sights and sounds of nature—the view from inside the Glass House was jaw dropping. Jennifer was so sweet, welcoming, and helpful. The bed was supremely comfortable and the bedding had a luxe feel. There were thoughtful places to sit, swing, or lie down throughout the property. While the kitchen is more limited, we were able to cook everything we needed, making food outdoors was divine. The bathrooms were spotless, if a bit of a walk to take in the middle of the night (but no different from other glamping facilities). We were lucky to have the entire Grove area to ourselves so it was especially comfortable as we didn’t have to navigate around other occupants. Loved the pool and hot tub area, a really charming experience. Overall it’s the perfect place for a quiet retreat off-grid, to recharge in an ideal glamping situation. We can’t wait to be back.

Joanie was a great host. We were ghosted by our original reservation and customer service was able to get us with Joanie. Joanie was extremely responsive and everything matched with the description on the listing. I'm extremely grateful with Joanie and her home was great. My husband and 2 children were extremely comfortable and relaxed during our stay. Thank you!

This place was an absolute dream. Myself and 5 other graduate students were a bit of a tight fit, but we knew that going in, and the quality of the space was well worth both the cost and the closeness. We enjoyed being able to spend good time in the common space, share meals together at a lovely table, and (best of all) walk super quickly right on to the beach and into a super cute town! Lisa was very responsive and clear with what we needed to know, too.

Michael's place is a very nice apartment in a residential neighborhood. The place was very cozy and clean. It is conveniently located to Oxnard and Ventura. It is near the beach but not walkable. My daughter and I had a good time while we were away.
