About this property
Montecito Home Walk to Butterfly Beach Sleeps 4
Summary:
This Montecito retreat sits just steps from Butterfly Beach and Coast Village Road, with a backyard hot tub featuring a waterfall, dual fireplaces, and a sunroom that opens to California breezes. Summer evenings shine around the firepit under the stars, while cooler months call for cozy nights by the gas fireplace with streaming entertainment. Great for couples or families looking to explore Santa Barbara's coast and downtown.
The Space:
The living room features a Smart TV with Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+, a stereo system, and a gas fireplace. The farmhouse-style dining table seats 6 and sits beside a second fireplace and mounted TV. The kitchen is equipped with a drip coffee maker, oven, blender, and full cookware. The sunroom has sliding doors that open to the backyard, bringing in warm summer air and natural light.
The first bedroom has a King bed with an en suite bathroom that includes a soaking tub, dual sinks, and a walk-in shower. The second bedroom has a Queen bed. A separate office den provides a laptop work desk for remote work needs.
The backyard is designed for year-round relaxation with a hot tub complete with waterfall feature, a firepit for summer gatherings, an outdoor fireplace, and multiple seating areas. In summer, the space comes alive for evening entertaining and wine by the fire. In winter, the dual indoor fireplaces and hot tub create a warm escape after exploring Santa Barbara.
Free WiFi throughout. Washer and dryer in-unit. Parking for 2 cars.
Guest Access:
Self check-in details will be provided before arrival. Parking for 2 cars in the driveway. The property is located near Highway 101 and the Amtrak rails, so passing trains may occasionally be heard.

You're a 5-minute walk to Butterfly Beach, one of Montecito's most beautiful stretches of sand. Coast Village Road with its boutique shops and cafes is also walking distance. Drive 10 minutes to downtown Santa Barbara for State Street dining and the historic Funk Zone. The Santa Barbara Zoo is a 15-minute drive, and several golf courses including Sandpiper Golf Club are within 20 minutes. Montecito's tree-lined streets and celebrity-favorite restaurants make this one of California's most sought-after coastal neighborhoods.

We loved our stay here. The location was fantastic. An easy walk to the beach. We rented bikes and were able to bike to the village and to Santa Barbara. This house is tucked away and the surrounding gardens make it feel very private. The house was very comfortable and spacious for our family of four. The kitchen was well-appointed and lovely to cook in. My only suggestion for improvement would be a few more sets of new bath towels. There were 2 fluffy white sets for the master bath, but the towels in the guest bath didn’t match the high-end finishes in this house. The beds and bed linens were so comfortable!
