Very nice home in a gorgeous area. Close drive to beach, restaurants, etc. Not walkable so we tried to do all of our activities before going back to the house at the end of the day. The home has everything for cooking. Would definitely book again!
Came for a wedding at a nearby country club and wanted a location close to the venue. Location was perfect and the home covered all the basics. Property is dated but has all the requirements. Had some trouble with the TV and WiFi but property management was very responsive.

As Advertised
We selected this property because of the reviews and it delivered. Very comfortable for a family of 5 (two grandparents, two parents, one 4 year old). We would definitely stay here again. The only thing is the first time you try to find the property, it's a little hard to tell where it is off the street.

Beautiful Home
My family and I enjoyed our stay at East Valley Manor. The home is inviting, roomy and beautiful! We enjoyed our evenings sitting around the fire pit in the backyard. Also enjoyed our coffee in the morning in the backyard. It's gorgeous! The home is clean and well kept. It was a little difficult finding the house at night but well worth the adventure. Appreciate you sharing your home with us!

Good location, beautiful yard and great recliners. Home is in original condition but everything works.
Host was incredible during a very difficult time for our family! Shout out to Cyndi and Jamie. Would highly recommend using AvantStay, my family certainly will! House was perfect for our needs as well.
The location of this house is great. 5 min from the main street with shops and restaurants in Montecito. The backyard is also lovely and we saw a couple bunnies hopping around, which my daughter loved. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the house was not where it needed to be. We encountered 10-15 spiders in the house over 3 days. There were hairs in the bed. The house smelled musty (old carpets) and my white socks turned brown after walking around the inside of the house. The white towels smelled clean but needed to be replaced and weren’t all white. From a communication perspective, there is a lack of personal connection from AvantStay. They mostly communicate from a central number so it’s hard to understand who you’re communicating with and there were long delays in replies. If location is the most important thing to you, this place could work. However, for nearly 1,000 the basics of cleanliness were not there.
