Lovely Casita!

This charming, cozy, and welcoming one-bedroom is a gem bordering Santa Barbara and Montecito. Perfect place for my wife to relax while I work. Jill is very responsive and has taken excellent care of the property. We look forward to returning!

Really Great!

Jill's place is super clean, roomy and comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked...LOTS of spices. Nice back patio and front deck area with beautiful views of the ocean and sunset (maybe sunrise too, not sure as we weren't up that early). Really comfy bed too. Such a nice quiet neighborhood. Our stay (4 nights in October) was great!

Relaxing ocean breezes, views, plenty of space

We loved Jill's vrbo. It was open, plenty pf space, confortable, very clean, and about 45 minute nice walk to the beach, boardwalk etc- Jill responded to my numerous questions, requests, clarifications- kind and respectful. We would be lucky to stay here again.

Absolutely charming!

This place is lovely, and the host, Jill, is super helpful and responsive! The king bed is very comfortable, as are the couch and chairs on the back deck. The many large windows (with almost complete privacy) allowed me to watch the sunset every night from anywhere inside the living/kitchen area. Everything is labeled, with clear instructions for the TV and all else. Closer to Montecito village than Santa Barbara, but even SB is only 10 minutes away. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again and almost didn't want to write this review, just so I could book it without y'all clamoring and blocking my future stays. Enjoy!

A little piece of paradise on the East Side

The open windows and doors let the breeze flow through. The mockingbird wooed me, and I coveted the lemons on the next-door neighbor's tree just over the fence. The place was peaceful, clean, and extremely comfortable for 5 days. The bed was very comfortable. We didn't cook, but the kitchen had everything we would need if we had. The bathroom was equipped, including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, blow dryer, and lots of towels. Great communication with Jill. We spent a lot of time on the back patio looking up at the birds swooping here and there. Recommend this place. One note is that you can hear the freeway, but it's worth it for everything else this beauty provides.

Santa Barbara Splendor!

We had a great stay. Property is perfectly located on east side. Walking distance to Santa Barbara beaches and Montecito restaurants/shops. Setup had everything we needed for 9 day stay. Full kitchen, bbq, separate bedroom, very large open area for living room/kitchen and a super quiet neighborhood. Would stay again when in area.

Quiet, but close enough for downtown

Loved being in the hills, viewing the ocean, and able to drive downtown in less that 10 minutes. House was quiet and bed was amazing!

We liked the location of the cottage within a quiet neighbourhood. We liked that it is cosy and clean inside with nice views from the windows. The kitchen is equipped with everything needed. Only the pots were quite old.

Great location, close to Santa Barbara and Montecito. Avoid the traffic!

We loved staying here. It was quiet and comfortable. They have a very comfortable king bed in the bedroom. The room tended to be cold, but the quilt was very warm and we did not mind. The kitchen is very well stocked. They have a great desk for someone who needs to work. The location allows you to stay off the freeway which we loved.

Scenic Cottage

Jill's place was the perfect mini getaway for us. Tucked away enough for peace and relaxation but not so much that food and entertainment are just a short trip away. Check-in was easy and Jill was easily reachable should we need anything but the home was equipped with everything we needed and easy instructions to get to them.

Comfy and Spacious

This unit gives you most of the comforts of home. All you need is a trip to the grocery store to really settle in. But think twice before booking during hot weather as there is no AC and it can be downright miserable during the heat of the day. The host is very accommodating and responsive.

Nothing Special

I really wanted to like this property, however, there were cobwebs hanging from the lights and ceiling inside. On the outside the spiderwebs had plenty of food trapped in the lights and on the stairs coming up. The stair railings were dusty/dirty. It just looked like the place needed a little TLC and a bit more than what the cleaning person does - as it appeared was not much other than the towels, sheets, and sweeping/vacuuming the floors. Check out instructions included emptying the trash, Washing all dishes, and stripping the bed (preferred). Also, was only provided a partial roll of TP, so if your stay is long, bring your own. The fan also has a rubbing sound which is very noticeable at night. Other than that, it served it's intended purpose of a place to rest our head at night.
