Gray Malin Getaway House | In Coastal Montecito

The Gray Malin Getaway House is a unique vacation experience designed by fine-art photographer Gray Malin to step into his world of escapism and make your stay the ultimate getaway.

Completely renovated in May 2024, no detail was left unconsidered when designing this dreamy Montecito getaway for you and your guests with furniture from William-Sonoma, bathroom products from Goop, Bluejay Bicycles, Weezie towels color-coordinated to each room, and so much more. Once here, you'll never want to leave. It's a one-of-a-kind vacation experience. The home sits on a corner lot with a large yard just steps away from Montecito's Butterfly Beach. The modern coastal interior is paired with a tranquil outdoor space perfect for relaxing or hosting. The thoughtful floor plan is intended for guests to unwind, spend quality time together and feel like home.

From exterior to interior this house has a luxurious and calming feel. With 4 bedrooms and space to comfortably sleep 10 the Getaway House is perfect for a family retreat, a trip with friends or simply somewhere to decompress near the ocean. Curated artwork by Gray Malin is the centerpiece of every room, with the design complementing each unique space. The entryway is framed by a charming white fence enclosing the extensive yard. Stepping up the stone pathway you're greeted by comfortable lounge chairs, a fire pit, a sun terrace with chaise lounge chairs and a large water feature, outdoor dining and a bocce ball court – creating an oasis for intimate dinners, outdoor games & lounging.

The blue Dutch front door welcomes you to the home. The color of the front door is mirrored by the staircase leading up to the second floor. Off the entryway a purposefully designed mudroom hosts space to hang coats, kick off your shoes and store extra luggage. This room also features two built-in desks in case you need to pull double-duty and work between vacation activities. The kitchen is truly the heart of the home at this house. With a large, masterfully designed kitchen that accommodates casual mornings or large gatherings. Stocked entirely with William-Sonoma appliances, cookware and dish ware for a unique luxury touch to make you feel at home. Make your morning coffee or evening beverage with ease; embrace your inner chef.

Connected to the kitchen is the dining room, featuring a fireplace & table that can comfortably sit up to 10. This space is perfect for hosting, game nights or simply enjoying dinner with friends.Through the dining room is the great room, with ample seating, soaked in sunlight during the day. Come evening, this room is a comfortable place for conversations and unwinding in front of the fireplace. If a movie night is on the itinerary you can all relax in the Media Room and turn on a classic. A thoughtfully designed laundry room and powder room complete the ground floor. The downstairs primary bedroom is a lovely, well-appointed room with a king-size bed, ensuite bathroom and a door out to a private patio with ample seating.

With a spacious garage attached to the mudroom it's easy to store personal items and two cars. Here guests will find 6 electric BlueJay Bikes with helmets for cruising around Montecito, complimentary for you to use during your stay. You will also find stylish beach equipment and beach trolleys to fill with goodies on your way to your perfect beach day.

Upon reaching the upstairs you're greeted by the loft area, where you can enjoy a game of backgammon or chess on the custom game table. There is also a pull-out sofa bed for overflow guests. Open the doors to the balcony and let in the ocean breeze. The upstairs primary bedroom has been designed to feel like an Italian summer getaway. Boasting a four-poster, king bed, a large closet and soaring vaulted ceilings. The attached bathroom offers a luxurious shower and ample counter space.

The bunk room was designed as an ideal room for kids to play and relax. With two twin bunk beds and a queen sized bed below, there's plenty of space for everyone. Lastly, the upstairs guest room is adorned with a beautifully designed headboard, wicker pendant lights as well as soft Montecito light in the morning.

Best property we have stayed in!
This property was a wonderful stay! Kitchen was well stocked, TV’s, comfy furniture and beds, plenty of linens and towels. The lush landscape was beautiful and water features on the property were lovely. We enjoyed the hot tub as well. Our dog played on the front lawn and our car was safely garaged at night. Everything in the home worked properly and the management team could not be more accommodating and helpful. The WiFi was great and audio system throughout home was awesome as we love music. The location is so close to the ocean, offering great morning walks around the neighborhood. We would return to this property and stay again. Montecito is a great little town with shopping, restaurants and friendly people!

Family Vacation
There were 9 of us with plenty of room. The kitchen had everything we needed in the way of equipment and dishes. I received quick email responses to my questions from the realty company that handles the house. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the pool table. We ate all our dinners outside under the umbrella table. Downstairs bedroom’s bathroom was very small.

Good Stay at Channel House
Our overall impression is positive. Plenty of room for ten people. Kitchen is well equipped. Yard landscaping is beautiful. The following comments are not complaints, but suggestions to consider in order to make for a better stay. My wife and I chose to sleep in the downstairs bedroom. The two extra mattresses came in handy. One comment about upstairs: the swinging doors between the master bedroom and bathroom don't provide much privacy. The downstairs bedroom needs a dresser with drawers to handle a weeks worth of clothes. Toilet paper holder in bathroom needed tightening: I fixed it but should be checked. Sink didn't drain well until I pulled the stopper up with fingers. Should be checked. Put a comfy chair and the standing lamp from garage in the corner nook of bedroom. Not enough light to read using bedside lamps. Found decent ones that don't match in the garage. The shower floor is dangerously slippery, esp. for older folks. We thought the house had a water softener, but one of the service fellows said no. I asked him what the noisy water apparatus was on the outside wall. Fellow said he didn't know. At any rate, water would start gurgling through it at 6:15 a.m. Suggest adjusting timer. The gardeners started mowing and blowing before 9 a.m. on Friday morning. Suggest they do other chores and wait 'til 9 to start their engines. Bicycles in such disrepair they were un-rideable. But fixed promptly when requested. Respectfully, JfRi

We had a family getaway over Memorial Day weekend and stayed in two homes. This house was large and spacious and gave us plenty of room for full family dinners, drinks outside and gathering. The house is lovely and has easy access to everything Santa Barbara offers.

Great house for spending time with family! Spacious, yet cozy. Great location for exploring Santa Barbara. Activities at the house, plus the availability of bikes, boogie boards, etc. was a plus!

Great family get away
Super nice quality place to stay.. Our whole family really enjoyed this Montecito home. It was super clean, safe and beautiful. We had no problems and the location is excellent with walkable access to the beach and quick driving access to shopping, zoo, wharf and breakwater locations. The yard was private with a nice jacuzzi and beautiful koi pond. We had a great time and would highly recommend this rental property.

Fantastic Location
Loved our stay. The location is quiet and perfect if you want to pop to the beach or into Santa Barbara, but just removed enough to feel secluded and special. The house is well laid out and comfortable. Communication with management was exceptional. We did have several people in our party with animal hair allergies and they did experience some reactions. We did find animal hair around, so maybe it was just an off day for the cleaners.

Fantastic Location in Montecito
My husband and I had a lovely stay at this home. Check in and communication with the property managers, especially Viki and Lydia from VROSB was very smooth and I appreciated their assistance while we were there. The house is perfectly located near Butterfly Beach and close to Montecito Village and was well stocked and appointed. Thank you for a great stay!
