Beautiful property

The property was even more beautiful in person; it felt like an oasis. I enjoyed the tranquil private setting which gave way to total relaxation. Montecito and Downtown Santa Barbara were easy to get to in just a quick short drive. Cynthia was a gracious hostess and easy to communicate with. It was her priority in making sure I had a great experience in which I did.

Best trip ever!!

If I could give Cynthia and her breathtaking property 100 stars I would. We have traveled many places and rarely stay at the same place twice but we will definitely make every attempt to come back next summer. The villa and the property are absolutely beautiful and clean! From the moment of our arrival Cynthia had placed a lovely bottle of wine and a yummy dessert on the table waiting for us. She truly has a gift for hospitality and makes every effort to make your stay amazing.We enjoyed a couples massage on the property that was wonderful. Really and truly, our stay exceeded every expectation. Cynthia and her husband even lit a fire for us by the pool one evening and provided us all the fixings for smores! Do yourself a favor and book this property ASAP! Cynthia will take wonderful care of you! Thank you again for hosting us! We can’t wait to come back!

Nothing short of paradise

This was the most beautiful property I have ever stayed at. It felt absolutely luxurious. Incredible expansive gardens, gorgeous pool, beautifully appointed living spaces that were fully stocked with everything we could need. But more than all of that was the incredibly gracious and thoughtful host, Cynthia who made us feel so special and welcomed. We will be back.

Relaxing Stay Near Santa Barbara Wine Country

We came to stay in the Montecito area to relax, have some good meals and taste wine for a few days before heading to the Indian Wells tennis tournament. This is a lovely, well maintained cottage in a beautifully manicured private compound. Felt like we were staying in a 1 bedroom bungalow at a nice resort - complete with fluffy robes, towels tied with ribbons, nice toiletries and a lovely treat basket - highly recommend!

Winter get way

This property exceeded our expectations. Cynthia was the best host! She exceeded our expectations and her care to detail was amazing! The location could not have been any better. You are tucked away in the most beautiful and well cared for property. It is very close to restaurants, beaches, hiking and shopping in many surrounding coastal towns. She is available for any advice on suggestions for your trip if you need. We wish we had more time to enjoy her beautiful property. We will definitely be returning for a visit! We highly recommend Cynthia’s beautiful property!!!

The perfect getaway

The property was gorgeous, intimate, and quiet! Cynthia is an amazing host who went above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect stay. Wish we stayed longer, the gardens and fountain areas were so magical.

Simply Superb Sanctuary!

We were warmly greeted upon arrival by our host along with a chilled bottle of wine and welcome basket of delicious goodies. Property was gated and the grounds and landscaping were magnificent…so incredibly beautiful! Short walk or drive to a secluded beach. Restaurant referral was top notch! Thank you so much, Cynthia for making our stay comfortable and memorable. Will definitely stay at your lovely villa again!

Lovely get away

We absolutely loved our stay at this property! From the moment we drove in, we could tell that this was a very special place. Cynthia is a wonderful host and greeted us with a lovely basket of goodies and a bottle of wine. The unit was very beautiful and very clean. The unit is adjacent to the main house, but feels very private. The property is stunning with a lush garden, beautiful pool and tennis courts (which we used every day). The location was great, an easy drive or medium walk to the beach, easy drive to Montecito, Santa Barbara, Summerland, etc. I would highly recommend this property and we hope to go back in the future!

Lovely location, lovely property, amazing host

We were looking for a place in the Santa Barbara area and hotels are just insanely overpriced right now. Found this booking on VRBO and gave it a shot. From the moment I booked, through check in and our stay, the host Cynthia was an amazing communicator. She asked if we had any preferences or if it was a surprise crisp occasion, I told her it was my birthday and my wife preferred almond milk (no dairy). When we arrived there was a lovely birthday note, a bottle of wine and a couple slices of birthday cake. And when we opened the fridge, a carton of almond milk! It’s clear Cynthia has a background in hospitality because she is wonderful at it. The property itself is incredible, in an amazing, secluded location. It sits on 5.5 acres, has a pool, tennis court and a trail that leads to the beach. Our 1bd unit was nicely appointed, immaculately clean and very private. Compared to the Bacara or others, I would choose this property every time. I highly recommend Cynthia and her property, we will definitely be returning!

About the host

Hosted by cynthia fisher

Host profile image
I was Guest Relations Supervisor at the Four Seasons Biltmore before we closed due to Covid. I bring my work home and do my very best to ensure your stay is 5-star. It is my pleasure to supply an environment for you to relax and enjoy the beauty of our gardens, architecture and Santa Barbara. It is a special place and we feel quite blessed to share it with you.

Why they chose this property

Location. Host Expertise. Detail. Aesthetic. First rate. Private. 5 star
The property and host deliver.! :) We have never received anything less than 5-star for a reason. We go above and beyond. Since my expertise is in hospitality we do it right. A suite like this at either the Miramar or the Four Seasons ( if it were open) would have a rack rate of 2100 and the same Tot and Tbid taxes due.

What makes this property unique

Resort style accommodations in a resort setting. You can't beat it whether it is a two night or a weekly stay, you will enjoy the accommodations and all of Santa Barbara abundance, since it is perfectly located between the worlds safest beach, Summerland antiques, Montecito posh and Santa Barbara shows and restaurants.
