Cottage holiday rentals in Montecito

Great stay - well equipped house with great outdoor area and bikes. Quick walk to the pier and restaurants. Responsive hosts.

I booked this trip for me and my lady to celebrate my birthday! We had an amazing experience in this beautiful little structure of a home surrounded by nature. It was the perfect spot to create an unforgettable memory for the both of us. If you want to escape and tap into nature and spend quality time with yourself or with your partner this is a perfect spot to do so!

Better than a 4/5 star hotel. A cozy retreat that truly feels like a home away from home. The cottage is an absolute delight—beautifully decorated, exceptionally clean, and thoughtfully laid out for comfort and ease. The patio is a wonderful addition, making the space feel even larger, and there's something special about waking up and opening the French doors to start your day with a cup of coffee. Loved having a bbq, jacuzzi and the neopresso machine. Whether you're staying solo or as a pair, this place offers a level of comfort and charm that far surpasses staying at a hotel.

Great cottage! Had an awesome weekend on Bath Street. Place was very clean and the outside yard was very relaxing to hang out and nicely fenced for pets. Great location close enough to walk to the Bowl, State Street, Beach, etc.

What a peaceful place tucked in a quiet hilltop full of nature surroundings. Absolutely no traffic/people noise and lots darkness with an incredible view when the fog rolls away. It blew our minds! A perfect base of operations for a week stay with all we needed and the host right next door (over a private gate) which was helpful when we had a few needs that he responded quickly and kindly. We were impressed how close we were to things even though it felt like we were far, far away. We cannot wait to stay there again! Note to those that drive a Tesla, do NOT use the car gps/maps. It won’t get you there in a direct route. Use Google maps. Plan at least one evening to enjoy the night sky from the hot tub and deck with fire table and grill. It’s not to be missed.

Jonah is responsive and reliant, and I’m so glad to have booked his gem of a home! I highly recommend all of his listings as he is usually nearby and always willing to help. I stayed in the retreat/cottage and it was great! It is just minutes away from Solvang (about 6 miles) which was a plus. Highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a peaceful and beautiful getaway.

Amazing location. Super cozy. The farm was the highlight. Waking up to the chickens was something else. The hot tub was great. The bedrooms were super cozy. I’d 10/10 recommend. Loved hanging with the goats

Thank you so so much to April + Ivan for letting me call their orchard cottage home for a weekend! I could not have imagined a more perfect cottage! Exactly as described + as seen in the pictures. Such a happy, sunny place. I made sure to open all the blinds + windows to start my days. Also an added bonus to start my days in the hot tub or sipping coffee in their beautiful garden. I wish the fountain were on longer to help hide some of the street noise, but how cool to sit under the fruit trees in the tub! I’m so grateful for all of their recommendations and they were so kind to answer all of my questions even weeks before my reservation. I was truly so excited for this trip + struck Airbnb gold when it came to these hosts. I loved the homey comfort + the house was stocked w/ all the essentials. Location, it was w/in 15 easy min to everything I wanted to do in the Montecito + SB area. I’m already looking forward to planning another trip + would love to stay here again!

Very clean and comfortable. Short walk to beach and convenience store. Left bikes, boogie boards, and a wagon for us to use, but I’m bummed we don’t get to use them.

Overall we had a great stay at this property. It is private and quiet, within walking distance of Summerland town strip and is just a short drive to state street. I encourage renting Gillian’s room to anyone looking for an affordable stay in summerland! The dog bed was a nice touch for our dog as well!

Such a charming, rustic, cottage with a beautiful garden/backyard area! Looked like the photos, very comfortable, peaceful and a lovely place to relax and unwind. It was such a delight… I would definitely return and recommend to others. Close to restaurants. Very quiet. Bed was very comfortable. Thank you Anne!

A wonderful space that was a perfect mix of quiet and private and close to everything. Would absolutely stay again. Really wonderful space!

Nice, clean accommodations. I would describe the place more as a guest house than a home as it is attached to the main house to which the owner (Darren) resides. There is also another studio-type accommodation attached to the "house." Both were non-issues as they were quiet and rarely seen from the "house." We travel with our dogs and the backyard was great for them...quiet, large, clean, and private. Easy walk (~10 min) to Butterfly beach from the "house" as well as to town. The bedroom is bright due to the skylights so if you are a late sleeper, it may impact you. The bed was softer than my wife and I prefer. Overall a nice place!

Hummingbird Cottage is adorable. The bed was so comfortable and the sound of the fountain was soothing. The house is very small, so not suited to someone really tall. Our daughter stayed in the treehouse and loved it. The location was great for catching the boat to the Channel Islands.

Second time staying at this house, and just as great as the first time. Fabulous location, comfortable, and extremely well-stocked. Great for our two kids--6 and 9--too. A wonderful experience.

wonderful space. would absolutely stay here again. better than described

Cute place, loved the outdoor area. Lots of light

Vacasa was a beautiful experience ! Peaceful, private, 5-7 minute walk to the beach. Reunion restaurant close by 20 minute walk to the wharf pier this is a perfect place for a couple to stay at ! I recommend

Kathy was a great host and her home is wonderful. The location is fantastic, very close to both the beach and downtown Santa Barbara. I highly recommend staying here.

Wonderful stay at this charming cottage. The road by this place has an amazing view of the water. The place was neat and clean. Aidan was very responsive and made sure our stay was comfortable. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone planning to stay in Santa Barbara.
