We had four adult couples visiting for a wedding. Each couple had a bedroom with private bath. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and beautiful views with outdoor seating. It was a short drive to all the sites. ##### Kendra S. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Nafonwyck D. 3 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely Montecito Property The home is perfectly stage for selling. The decor is lovely and pristine...perhaps a little too much white. We were concerned that something could easily spill on or get wiped on one of the wiped surfaces. Nevertheless, the property boasts lovely decks and views with higher end accoutrements. The only challenge was that we were asked to leave so that the agent could show the home just after check in. ##### Nafonwyck D.
