We were on our honeymoon and they upgraded us to a cabin which was so lovely. Cabins are gorgeous and really stylish and roomy. Staff were wonderful especially Theresa! Such a peaceful location all you can hear is the stream and the birds. Lovely horseback riding in the hills.

Staff were friendly every time we spoke, free tea, coffee & hot chocolate stuff in the reception also. Room looked great and was clean. Pool was open till late which was cool. Location wise, very close to the beach and not much of a walk to the down town area too. Was a last minute stop off in a road trip, me and my cousin were gutted we had too leave so soon. Was good for parking

Even though we weren’t in the main building, we were placed in the newest addition, the north side, spitting distance from State Street. It was a short walk to our favorite breakfast place and the pier. The room was big with plenty of space for luggage/maneuvering. The bathroom was quite luxurious.

Staff was very positive and helpful. Rooms were nicely cleaned as often as you requested. Nice swimming pool. Free bike rental. Pool and beach towels are provided for your use. Great location to many walkable shops and restaurants in Coast Village Montecito. Butterfly beach is a 12-15 minute walk away and is beautiful (but no bathroom facilities.) Many other nice beaches (with facilities) are a 10 to 20 minute drive away.

The location is very good, we walked to down town and the beach. Room and property was very clean. Personel was very friendly. We had to pay for parking our car. There is no breakfast, but we could take coffee, tea or water and cakes or fruit for free. That was very good. It was a good room, spacious and nice. Nice swimming pool and hot tub.
