Nestled just moments from the golden sands of Montecito’s famed Miramar Beach and a short scenic drive to the world-renowned San Ysidro Ranch, The Sweet Spot of Montecito is a masterfully renovated retreat offering timeless style, serene luxury, and a front-row seat to the best of the American Riviera.

This mid-century modern gem effortlessly blends iconic design with contemporary comfort. Inside, you'll find three beautifully appointed bedrooms designed to accommodate up to six guests. The primary suite features a king-size bed, en-suite bathroom, and private access to a sprawling, orchard-lined backyard—your own secluded sanctuary beneath the foothills. The two guest rooms, one with a queen bed and the other with two twins, share a thoughtfully designed bath with a tub/shower combination.

The living room invites quiet evenings and stylish gatherings, with a large-screen television and statement fireplace as the focal points. The kitchen, with its retro-chic aesthetic and modern amenities, is both functional and fabulous—perfect for everything from morning coffee to elegant in-home dining.

Step outside into a peaceful, private haven with uninterrupted views of the Santa Barbara Foothills. Multiple outdoor living spaces offer options for al fresco dining, sun-drenched relaxation, or cozying up by the fire pit with a glass of Central Coast wine as the stars appear overhead.

Located in one of the most prestigious and picturesque communities in California, this home places you just minutes from Montecito’s upscale boutiques, world-class restaurants, scenic hiking trails, and the cultural charm of downtown Santa Barbara. Spend the day exploring local wineries, sailing the sparkling Pacific, or simply soaking in the tranquil beauty of this iconic coastal enclave.

Peaceful, Beautiful Home in a Wonderful Montecito Location

by Theresa

The property was very natural and beautiful. We enjoyed the peace and quiet for a week while getting out to see friends and family we hadn’t seen in awhile. The home was well equipped and clean. There are fans that automatically turn on and off in the bathrooms, and that took a little bit to get used to, but that was the only thing. There are landscape lights outside of the bedroom at night, but there are curtains. Talk to the management if you want to turn them off. The home is close to the beach, Upper Village of Montecito, hiking, and Lotusland. We would definitely return to this location, and feel it is the best VRBO we have stayed at.

Perfect Family Getaway – Beautiful & Well-Stocked Home

by Kelly

The house was beautiful and perfect for our family getaway. It was impeccably decorated with art on every wall, the backyard was stunning and serene, the kitchen was stocked with every cookware we could imagine (including plastic plates and utensils for kids), and the beds were comfortable. We had the best time and would love to go back.

Charming Montecito Stay with Stunning Views and Perfect Location!

by Hasti

Really enjoyed the location and this simple, but adorable home in the heart of Montecito. The backyard was stunning, the views were picturesque and our favorite part was being walking distance to both the upper village and a lovely walk to the lower village and Miramar. We will definitely look to stay here again next year!

Charming Mid-Century Oasis with Secluded Appeal!

by Anuj

This place was wonderful. Cool mid-century modern style home with a well cared for garden replete with citrus trees. Well stocked fridge and nice welcome gifts. While we drove past the secluded little driveway/alley that leads to the place on our first pass, we found it only added to the secluded charm of the place. Would stay again, would recommend for sure.

Airbnb review

by Jessica
Spacious, beautifully remodeled, huge private backyard, 10 mins to the beach. We stayed here for our daughters UCSB graduation. The yard is a huge wonderland of succulents and citrus trees and palms. The neighbors jasmine and Bougainvillea peeked over the fence in the most charming way. The natural gas fire pit is the perfect gathering spot after a day at the beach or grab morning coffee. We saw a bunny hopping through the yard . The space had everything we needed minus a few extra wash towels. Beds and pillows were all very comfortable . Custom closets were fancy ! Extra touches like apple speaker, bathroom finishings, throw blankets and pillows are high end. Vons is close and shopping/restaurants too. Gps told us unto turn one driveway too early as a heads up to other guests. A hot tub or pool would be perfect here. Thank you for sharing your home.

Perfect Accommodations

by Nancy
My adult daughter and I stayed at this home for 8 nights in December 2022. The home is absolutely lovely, crisp and super clean. Everything has been newly remodeled and the furnishings are very comfortable and stylish. The location is perfectly situated within walking distance of the the upper village and only a short drive to the beach. We especially appreciated the expansive backyard with its numerous fruit trees and panoramic view of the mountains. I have rented many homes in Montecito over the past 10 years and this is one of the best!
