Every detail was thoughtful, from the linens to the soap to the dishes and everything in between. I have been staying in this part of Montecito for 20 years and I have never rented a property more perfect than this. Super close to my favorite beach, Miramar, and to the iconic Pierre Lafond bakery I can’t wait to return.

Bungalow Escape

We can't speak highly enough of the Bungalow. Roomy, newly remodeled and all the amenities you would ever need. Best part is you can walk to the upper Montecito Village for breakfast, coffee and gourmet goodies. All around great place to stay.

My daughter and I got to have a mother daughter weekend trip at this property which was so quaint. It's decorated adorably. I love the outdoor seating with beautiful landscape. I had my morning walk around the area. The nearby homes are stunning, and the neighboring trees are magical. Even got to chat with a welcoming neighbor walking his dog. Very close to lots of stores and shopping.

We love this cottage and the Blue Door Cottage next door! The owner has a wonderful sense of design with attention to detail. The location is lovely and so close to Santa Barbara, Summerland, Santa Inez and Ojai. Perfect! Thank you. Randy and LisaPaso Robles, CAwhen we want to visit the area.

Talk about A+ Service

Pat is a rockstar!! The cottage is conveniently located in the heart of Montecito near the Upper Village. Montecito is a beautiful area with dense foliage, beautiful landscapes, and amazing homes. The cottage is an easy walk to Pierre LaFonde and slightly longer walk to the wonderful town of Montecito. House is small, as described and pictures are accurate. Now for the A+ service. We arrived and the power in the neighborhood was out due to a city issue. Pat was right on informing us upon arrival. The city was delayed returning services so Pat did everything she could to accommodate the situation from incredibly rapid communication, supplying a cooler for the food, and bringing over portable lighting. She kept us updated and even brought over a bottle of wine for any inconvenience. She defines excellent customer satisfaction. Thank you Pat for your service and a wonderful stay!
