Quiet, Romantic, Montecito Retreat

The winery question makes no sense. There are no wineries in Montecito and that’s not why one goes there. The cottage was quiet, comfortable and very well located. The hosts were very accommodating.

A wonderful “home base” while visiting family. The cottage is as pictured, charming and private, in a lovely quiet neighborhood between Montecito’s Upper and Lower Villages. Just a few minutes to all the area has to offer. We had everything we needed and more. Communication was easy and the experienced hosts very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Better than advertised! Quiet, immaculate, well equipped and close to beaches and all the best of Santa Barbara. Highly recommend this property.

Fabulous!

What an amazing stay we had at this beautiful little piece of heaven. Everything about it was wonderful. Nestled amongst towering eucalyptus trees and blooming bougainvillea and with a cool ocean breeze blowing during this heat wave, it was the perfect place to be. The decor, comfy bed, beautifully tiled bathroom, peaceful/quiet setting and outdoor living area complete with a nap-inducing hammock made it so relaxing! The hosts, Vicky and Gary, were lovely and made sure we had everything we needed. So yep. You bet we’d recommend this VRBO to anyone looking for a perfect place to stay in beautiful Montecito CA. Thank you so much!

Fabulous place. Great hosts.

This cottage sits in a lovely landscape filled with birdsong. Beautifully crafted and comfortably furnished, it invites relaxation (hammock included). The hosts are wonderful and considerate, which shows in the many thoughtful details that make the cottage special.

While we have stayed in countless short term rentals in the U.S. and abroad, this one overall stands above the others. The casita was the perfect size for us and was well designed and decorated (including an awesome fireplace that uses either wood or gas. There is a large separate room off of the main living quarters where you can store bicycles, luggage etc. In addition, the cottage overlooks their beautiful gardens.which seems to always be in bloom. The owners, Gary and Vicky, are super nice and helpful and we even went on several walks/hikes with them. Finally, the location is perfect, close to the beach and mountains. By all means, if the place is available -- GRAB IT!

If you are a person who appreciates nature and attention to detail, I highly recommend Hedgerow. After staying in two busy SoCal beach towns, I loved the relative quiet of this property with its beautiful plantings and abundant bird sightings. Sleeping with the windows open and hearing the night sounds made for excellent rest (as did the comfortable bed and quality bedding). I really liked the location of this property; it’s easily accessible to the freeway, yet you can take a beautiful walk to Montecito Village in one direction or walk in the other direction to the local Miramar Beach. And of course downtown Santa Barbara is only about a 5 mile drive. Hosts Vicky and Gary are great, too; they’re available for anything you need but they give you lots of privacy. I was sad to leave, and I would love to stay here again!

The cottage was perfect for my needs. It was very comfortable, quiet and well- appointed. The owners were gracious, and available when needed. The location was close to everything in Montecito, and not far from Santa Barbara. Miramar Beach was less than a mile from the cottage.
