Scenic Studio

Beautiful place. We had a great stay.

We loved the Scenic Studio. It felt like a cute little nest above the city. Close to Santa Barbara attractions - East Beach Tacos! - and Montecito - Bree-Osh bakery! Quiet residential neighborhood. So light and bright with windows on three sides and distant view of the ocean. Large wrap-around patio with lots of seating. Comfortable bed. Kitchen with all the necessities. It was perfect for our stay!

I had the best stay this past week, just what I needed for a 5-day work trip -- quiet location and comfy bed with easy carport parking. Very cozy too, super clean and nicely decorated. Plus Jill was just awesome to communicate with. Of course I would rather give a 1 so I can bring the score down and ensure the place is available on my next trip, but I can't do that to Jill!!! Seriously, highly recommend this place!

The studio worked great for my wife and me. Large enough so one of us could sleep and the other work on a computer on the sofa. Large wrap around deck was an added bonus. Jill was a great host—very responsive and accommodating!

excellent place to stay. Convenient to downtown Santa Barbara and to Montecito. Very responsive host. The accommodations were comfortable and the vaulted ceiling made the place seem spacious. I had everything I needed there. I would highly recommend.

I had an incredible stay! The eclectic decor was delightful, and the hostess was wonderful. Despite the rain, the balcony offered a glimpse of its charm as a perfect hangout spot with a beautiful view. Everything was effortless and clean, and the decor suited my taste perfectly. This is my new zen spot. TLloyd

This studio is spacious, well-appointed, beautiful light, clean, kitchen well-stocked, lovely wraparound deck - a wonderful base to explore Santa Barbara. Jill was great with communication. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

The studio was spacious and well equipped. The large porch was a definite plus.

The location was fantastic. It was close to all activities we were looking for in Santa Barbara. Separate entrance, all the privacy you could ask for. A quiet, wonderful experience. Thanks so much to the owners, we will be back.

Apartment is in a residential neighborhood a short drive away from the beaches, the wharf, downtown, and neighboring Montecito. Having a car seemed essential, and there's a dedicated parking place. Apartment worked nicely for two people. Kitchen, wifi, etc., were useful. I certainly would consider staying here again.

My stay at Jill's property was spectacular.

This property is in a perfect location. We loved the porch area and loved how quaint the studio was for the weekend.

Well-thought out and maintained . Over-the-garage unit,with vaulted ceilings and lots of windows and French doors for light and view. Lovely wrap-around balcony. Our only regret was not having enough down time for us to enjoy the balcony more! Jill was a great host, answering our questions, and then disappearing to let us enjoy our stay.

This studio was everything we expected: clean, spacious, and nicely furnished, comfortable bed with good linens, great water pressure in the shower, and a well-stocked kitchen. It’s a great place for a single person or couple. The unit is above a garage, and a flight of outdoor stairs leads to the studio. There is also one dedicated off-street parking space on the property. While we never needed to use the laundry facility it was easily accessible. The nearest coffeeshop is a 4-minute drive (1.5 miles) or a nice 30-minute walk to Montecito. There is some road noise from the freeway but not enough to bother us. The occasional honking of the train can be loud when there is an onshore wind, but we were far enough away that it was a minor nuisance. The only problem was the spotty WIFI coverage, which I’m certain the hostess will have resolved by now. Communication with Jill was excellent, and she responded very quickly when we had questions.
