Santa Barbara/Montecito Garden Home by the Ocean

“This place is magical -- better than it looks in the photos.”

“We had a wonderful time at Adam’s home, and the garden is really spectacular. It was actually hard to leave the property it was so lovely, but it’s very well located for Montecito as well as Santa Barbara. Communication with Adam was good, and the house had everything we needed. The hot tub was a really amazing place to end the day. Thanks again Adam!”

“Adam's home is one of a kind! We enjoyed such a comfortable stay on the most gorgeous and peaceful property. The location is close to great shopping, food, beaches and more, but nothing beat coming back to such a relaxing and welcoming home. Thank you Adam for having us!”

“This is a truly unique and stunning property in the most extraordinary garden. We were able to rest and relax and truly experience this wonderful place with my 86 and 85 year old parents and were enchanted by its magic. We slept on the patio and drank in the fresh air and the sound of owls hooting. Quite wonderful.”

“Our exchange was beyond our expectations. I would have to say our home stay was far more than accommodations, it was a retreat experience. The house and landscape is so thoughtful in design, artwork and comfort. It was a true pleasure and feel fortunate to have enjoyed this special property. The beautiful climate adds to the lovely opportunity to be indoors and out for relaxing and cooking and dining. The stay went smoothly and with good communication. Adam's description is understated as this is a truly unique and memorable place.”

“We had a wonderful stay at Adam's beautiful home in the Santa Barbara mountains. Adam was a great host and communicated well throughout the process. The house had everything we needed and the surroundings were just spectacular. There is a beautiful outdoor deck with sofa and outdoor bed which was really special as well as lots of outdoor space and a hot tub that is always HOT! We managed to explore what beautiful Santa Barbara has to offer; mountains, beach, surfing, whale watching, shopping, hiking and lots more all within a 10/15 minute drive. I can't wait to stay again and 100% recommend Adam's wonderful home. ”

“Where do I begin? We spent 4 magical nights at Adam's home and we didn't want to leave. The pics don't do this sanctuary any justice at all! We spent every morning and evening outside on the porch which is basically an outdoor living room under a canopy of majestic oaks with a fireplace, couch, bed (yes bed!) and chairs. The family of owls living on the property were fascinating to watch and listen to at night under the full moon. The kitchen is huge a filled with natural light, the bedrooms are spacious and the beds are so comfy. Everything down to the inviting aromas of sage and palo santo in the home, it was all simple perfection. An important note on the location; this property is not simply in Santa Barbara, it is in the most exclusive enclave in SB, Montecito. Private, rustic and secluded while still very close to Coast Village and downtown Santa Barbara. We can't wait to return, hopefully many times in the future.”
