The south side cottage is equipped with an electric fireplace and the north side cottage has a gas fireplace.

The cottage on the south side and north side offer a queen-size Bedroom. The north side also includes an additional Bedroom with a twin trundle bed.

Lounging and dining are easy outdoors in the quality hardwood teak furniture. The 200 year-old sycamore trees offer partial shade on the deck as you overlook Montecito creek. There is an herb garden which is flanked by Meyer lemon and Tangelo citrus trees and which provides rosemary, thyme, chives, and spearmint to be used in the gourmet kitchen.

Cute little cottage in beautiful neighborhood

We enjoyed our stay, and felt at home. The home is not high-end luxury (for the price), but it is well appointed and comfortable. Could use some updating. Great location, walking distance to a fantastic private beach.
