My wife and I celebrated our anniversary in Santa Barbara and the Purple Casita was just perfect for us. From the secluded and quiet location, the bottle of wine to greet us and the subtle yet elegant decor, it was perfect. Although secluded it was a short 10 minute drive to State Street and the harbor. Everything was clean and welcoming and the bed was extra comfy. Thanks so much Kristi for a wonderful stay and your attentiveness to our every need.

Came to Santa Barbara for my girlfriends birthday. Found the home to be very clean and quaint. Quiet and secluded. Perfect for a couples getaway. We loved the back patio. An amazing view of the hillside and great star gazing at night. Kristi was a perfect host making sure we had everything we needed. Check in and check out was flawless.

Kristi’s place was amazing. The location was quiet and secluded while also near town. The bed was extremely comfortable and the linens were amazing. Loved the soaps in the shower and the heated floor as well. Would absolutely recommend to anyone to stay there.

One of the best VRBOs I've ever stayed in. As others have said, it's tucked away, quiet, but very close to everything. Bigger than it looks in the pictures, super clean, great vibe, everything you could need and great communication with the host. We'll be back for sure.

I found this amazing cottage and was drawn to it, when my daughter and I turned onto the road lined with lemon trees we immediately felt that we were in Europe, as we drove up the hill we found the lilac cottage and it was perfect, bright, beautiful and really comfortable. Kristi left us wine, wild flowers and amazing candy. Our time in SB was perfect and Kristi was so helpful and available always. We are looking forward to our next stay there in April.

A group of four stayed at this amazing place. It is nestled in the hills that makes you feel removed from the city but it’s a quick 3-5 mile, 10 min drive to SB or Montecito. The space is beautifully decorated with great attention to detail. We all found this place charming with all the amenities one would need for a getaway. Communication was excellent and responsive. Couldn’t recommend more this place more… we will definitely be returning.

Beautiful apartment and great hospitality!
My husband and I loved staying here in the quiet hills for a few nights! It was wonderful to wake up to the sun and mountains and we would love to go back some day!

Modern Oasis
Small modern loft tucked away in the hills of Montecito. Walking in through the large 12-foot doors you immediately see a tidy modern open-space home with a lofted bedroom. I was obsessed with the furniture and even have the same platform bed. Those luxury linen sheets are now on my wish list! A truly quiet retreat away from the hustle and bustle. Gorgeous views of the valley with a small peekaboo look at the Pacific Ocean. About a 15 minute drive to town through some winding roads so if you are looking for a little bit of a retreat, look no further. I was very happy with our stay here.
