Everything about this home was amazing! It was incredibly spacious and the decor was lovely. Several outdoor spaces were a huge bonus, especially the rooftop deck. Private gated entry for parking in a garage was wonderful. The kitchen was terrific - custom appliances and large. The fireplaces were also so nice. Would absolutely stay here again!

Loved the space outside with all of the choices and a play place for my 3 years old. It was a perfect touch to a family stay with little ones. The inside was cozy and inviting as well!

The Glass house was so beautiful and a charming place to relax during a visit to Montecito for a wedding. Just sitting out on the patio listening to the birds was exactly what I needed. The host was so sweet and had stocked the fridge and left the most gorgeous roses to welcome me. If I’m lucky enough to return to the area it will be my first choice of a place to stay. Absolutely perfect!
