Photos and Description of the Montecito vacation house rental
House, 4 Bedrooms, 3.5+ Baths (Sleeps 7)

Absolutely magnificent and elegant best describe this 4 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath, 4 fireplace Mediterranean Estate just 2 1/2 blocks from Miramar Beach. Within walking distance of the upper and lower villages and the famous Biltmore Hotel makes it the perfect location.

Surrounded by tall hedges and a small road, it is also on its own private island and has no neighbors.

Designed by the famous Mary Craig, in 1927. to recreate the villas she admired in the south of France you will feel transported back in time and place the moment you pass through the wrought iron gates into the enormous arrival court. The oversize Oak doors lead you into a sun filled glass lined foyer/gallery that overlooks a large stone terrace and the garden with its vast lawn and towering 100 year old Oak trees.

It has a beautiful hand carved stone fireplace, a small bar. It is the perfect place to read, watch T.V. or just reflect.

A little further on your right is the warm and inviting living room with its Baby Grand piano, its beautiful custom made down sofas and chairs, gorgeous paintings and hand carved marble fireplace. To add to its allure there are four sets of French doors that open onto large stone terraces all have views of the four different gardens.

On the right of the foyer is the elegant sun filled formal dining room. It has 2 sets of French doors that open onto a small stone terrace and the vast lawn. From the dining room you pass through the Butler's pantry into the gorgeous Gourmet kitchen with state of the art stainless appliances. Its light honey colored walls are very serene and the large breakfast nook that comfortably seats eight is the perfect place to dine or talk. Watching the birds bathe in the fountain just beyond the large kitchen window overlooking the garden makes cooking and doing dishes a sheer delight!

The curved stairway in the fayer leads to the bedrooms. The romantic master bedroom is on the right and is in its own private wing. The warmth of its cream colored walls is very inviting and imagine watching a 39 inch T.V. with a fire blazing in the gas lite fireplace or just star gazing as you look through the large skylight hidden between the beams. There is also a chaise and a down filled chair and ottoman and 2 balconies with views of the mountains and the vast lawn and garden. The master bathroom has a double sized soaking tub and sits beneath a large skylight, a wonderful way to bathe and also get a sun tan!

The wing on your left has the three other bedrooms and 2 baths all are beautifully decorated with beautiful views. There ia another T.V. in one of the bedrooms.

All of the bedrooms have down pillows and percale sheets.

A Wonderful week

5 of 5
Submitted: August 3, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
Our son, his wife and three daughters joined us for this wonderful week in July. Our elegant surroundings were so relaxing,that the first day we decided to not leave our pleasant home away from home other than to go to the Santa Barbara market in the morning, purchase our fresh veggies, flowers and herbs, and with the help of our eldest granddaughter, then had a wonderful time in the kitchen making a fabulous Saturday night dinner for our family. Our most exciting discovery about this wonderul property was the day the granddaughters and again, me, grandma, toured the magnificent property only to discover, tucked away amongst the trees, the enclosed chicken coop decorated with statuary of a lamb, duck, etc. completed with four child sized wrought iron chairs. Just Adorable! A place where one easily sensed the owners history of many happy moments. Another highlight was our family favorite, that being the gathering in the late afternoon for tea in what was referred to as "the white room", (the living room) to relax and "just talk". A memorable time was had by all!

We stayed at this magnificent home for the weekend of our daughter's graduation from UCSB! The home could not have been more lovely, the grounds were gorgeous, and Britt (the owner) was warm and gracious! We were able to cook all our meals there as it would have been almost impossible to get a reservation for a party of 7-8 during graduation weekend!

We invited guests over to celebrate the graduation and were able to host a wonderful party for about 20! The house was immaculate and so very comfortable in every way!

I highly recommend this property and hope for the opportunity to stay there again.

Thank you, Britt!

We wanted a special getaway with some good friends and this was a perfect location! The gardens were unbelievable and our children had the best time picking and eating fresh oranges, lemons and avocados. It was a great home base to explore the Central Coast from and was lovely to come home to. The house was spacious and beautiful. Britt was very prompt in returning the security deposit. I would absolutely recommend this property.

Girlfriend Get-together

5 of 5
Submitted: March 22, 2012 Stayed: January 2012
The pictures do not do this beautiful home justice! My four girlfriends and I arrived in January for a treasure hunt of the neighboring antique shops. We are all interior decorators and were over-joyed to stay in this exquisite estate. It received a #10 from us in every category. Each room was filled with antiques and unique furnishings. The setting is so beautiful and there were flowers blooming outside every window. We all enjoyed watching the birds bathing outside the kitchen window as we sipped wine and cooked together in the gourmet kitchen. None of us live near a beach, so we are excited to return and experience those long, sunset beach walks and beach picnics. This is a great place for a family or friend reunion!

A FABULOUS vacation home in Santa Barbara

5 of 5
Submitted: September 10, 2011 Stayed: June 2011
This beautiful estate is fabulous. The best description is really is to decribe it as an estate with magificently groomed grounds. You really do feel like you're on your own little island. I rented this home to share with several families to celebrate my nephews graduations from UCSB. We cooked a wonderful Italian dinner for a large crowd and every guest were absolutely at ahhhh with the home and the grounds. The home had everything we needed to cook a meal for a large group of people. The home is large enough for several families to stay and there's no worry about being crammed...there's plenty of rooms in the home and a fantasyland to experience outside. It really makes you feel like royalty staying here and we have such wonderful memories of our stay.
