Family Gathering

The numerous choices for outdoor seating and the amazing live plants and landscaping were fantastic. The plants were interesting, full of birds, and gave the place a sense of intimacy. The house was beautiful and the kithen had plenty of glasses, wine glasses, dishes, utensils, pots and pans, etc.We loved that the kitchen and master bedroom had high quality water filters for drinking water - very much appreciated.Everything was clean and lovely. The only thing that was not appreciated was the very VERY strong soapy-fake smell on the bed linens, that was impossible to avoid. Possibly from dryer sheets. Other than that, it was perfect in every way for a family gathering both inside and out.

Absolutely loved this home in Montecito!

We loved the location! We walked to the town and rode cruisers to the beach, which you can also walk to. We went to the Santa Barbara Bowl three nights in a row. It is an amazing venue surrounded by nature. Will definitely come back again.

Everything was wonderful

We could not have picked a better place for our family of 4 to spend a week in Montecito. The home was very clean, comfortable, nicely decorated and well stocked. The check-in was easy and the host was friendly and responsive. And location location location - 10 minute walk to the beach, a 10 minute walk to the restaurants and shops on Coast Village Road, and an easy drive to Santa Barbara. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to the area.

Beautiful Quiet Home in an Awesome Location

The home is clean and spacious. My daughter in a wheelchair had no problem maneuvering around the main level. The kitchen was well-stocked as described in other reviews. The multiple spaces allowed for adults and kids to hang out in separate areas. The large dining table was a bonus and was able to accommodate the two families who stayed as well as my sister’s family who visited us during our stay. The location was fantastic. We were able to walk to restaurants and shops easily as well as the beach.

So good I want to keep. It a secret.

All summer we’ve been going to Santa Barbara... different Vrbo sometimes Bacara sometimes both. This property top to bottom was five stars. Like a cozy room in a museum with five star applicannces, bedding, cleanliness and location. The photos are great but house bigger better and cleaner in real life. We rented to have a small celebration... my wife and I stayed simultaneously at Bacara to give our guests the house. And us the hotel amenities we are used to .. honestly the second night my wife just wanted to stay in this cozy house over the ocean view at Bacara. I had to drag her out... best house I ever rented. Well worth the high price.
