Lovely stay. As advertised. Was ideal for two couples for a long weekend with lots of privacy and also options for shared/common space. Wonderfully easy to communicate with hosts!

If you'd like to be near the beach, this is a terrific place. Very quiet despite proximity to the freeway. The condition of the outdoor furniture is not as depicted in the photos, but was serviceable. Enjoyed having a good quality washer/dryer. We found the home a bit more shabby chic than we expected and assume that the price per night is primarily reflective of the Montecito and beach location.
