Property details

Le Petit Bijou Le Petit Bijou (the Little Gem) is truly a place to get away from the hectic pace of life! A perfect romantic getaway just for two, or a cozy space for two adults and two small children. Just steps to the sand, this cute little cottage has everything you need to enjoy your beach retreat. A sandbox for adults and children alike, it is perfect for playing in the sea, reading a good book, or snuggling in front of the TV (no cable). No phone land line to disturb your peace and quiet! Relax and listen to the calm ocean waves as you fall asleep in a full size bed. Enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktail on the deck overlooking one of the most beautiful beaches in Santa Barbara. 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. When you want to explore the area, the lower village in Montecito is simply a mile away with a wide variety of shops and restaurants. Or take a 10 minute drive to downtown Santa Barbara to enjoy the many museums, theatres, and shops on State Street. If you are flying into the area, the property is easily accessible from Santa Barbara Airport (only about 20 minutes away) and Los Angeles (90 miles south). Le Petit Bijou is truly a gem! Come and escape to Miramar Beach! Minimum age to book this property is : 25

This rental is not well suited for a couple. Full size day bed not good for two people, particularly with how it is oriented in the room. No A/C unit in the rental. Humidity would build up if you left the property for the day and closed all windows and doors. When we came back, we used the fan provided with opening windows and back door and problem was remedied in short order. Right on the water, which is great. It's a public, not private beach. Be ready for visitors just off the deck. Property management responded very quickly when contacted with questions and updates during our stay. They were great and answered my questions with great clarity. Washer & dryer worked great. Coffee maker was a plus (filters and coffee were provided). Took advantage of the kitchen. Having coffee in the morning on the deck was very nice. Nice cozy property. Will look at other properties from this company next time in Santa Barbara.

This is a magical property on one of the best beaches in Santa Barbara. Tucked away but walkable to downtown Montecito. Incredibly charming. We didn't want to leave.
