Amazing Thanksgiving

Spent 5 days at this amazing property and it was everything we expected. Property is clean, has everything and the location is perfect. Our golden retrievers loved running on the beach, our kids hunted hermit crabs right outside our patio, we fished at nearby Stearns Wharf. Would highly recommend

We had a very nice time and loved the place and the location! The only slightly less positive issues that we came across were the parking-someone parked in our spot for hours and we couldn’t find an available spot, and the coffee maker was broken. Otherwise, we had a wonderful experience!

Charming getaway

The house is in a great location on Miramar Beach (very close to Miramar Resort). The beach is beautiful and our dogs loved swimming in the ocean everyday. The house was very charming. I would recommend for about 3 people max as it’s tight quarters. It was so relaxing to hear the waves all day long. I would stay here again.

Lovely Winter Stay

We’ve always wanted to stay at a place right on the ocean. This place was perfect! Walked right out the door onto to beach. Dogs loved it too! Close to a cute area with delicious restaurants. There are steep stairs that you need to go down to the bedrooms and bathrooms, so wouldn’t recommend this place if stairs are difficult for you.

Incredible!

We stayed here for Presiden't day weekend and it was really great - you can not beat the location, right on the beach and close to downtown Montecito. You can also walk to the Rosewood, which is just gorgeous. We got a day pass for the pool one day and walked down from the bungalow. The only critique I would have is get rid of the 1-ply toilet paper! For a place this nice (and expensive) I would appreciate a nicer toilet paper experience ;) We will definitely come back!

Cozy beach cottage right on Miramar Beach

We had a fun and relaxing time at this property. It's right on the water, and at high tide you feel like the ocean is crashing beneath you. Seals/sea lions and dolphins frequently sighted. Rosewood resort's excellent restaurants are conveniently located nearby. We felt that some of the mixed reviews here were a bit off target. If you read the property description it is quite accurate so set expectations accordingly; note they've added a portable AC unit for times when you need to cool down a room, though the ocean breeze typically kept things pleasant during late August. About the stairs: well yes it is down on the beach, however note also that there's a public beach access driveway situated conveniently so you can get very close to the property for loading/unloading of your vehicle. All-in-all a good value with just about all the expected amenities

We loved this charming beach cottage. There are a lot of steps but was not a problem for us. The small kitchen is well stocked. We used the pull out bed for one if our kids and it was great.

Stayed in this beach house every summer when our daughter was growing up, she is 25 now. This was the first time we stayed in the winter and we really enjoyed it, even when it was raining. The last prior time we stayed was about 20 years ago, the entire house has been re-done. You are on the sand, you can walk to the Miramar hotel and there are trains that come by, it's perfect.

Beach stay

Great location, cute house and stunning views. Needed to get hand soap and laundry detergent but that was fixed easily with a trip to the store. I would recommend adding more beach towels since there were only 3.

Killer View!

The view was amazing. The beds were lush and dreamy. We aren’t that tech savvy so it had lots of locks, fireplace, and TV controls for those who are. The main bath was a little strange with the tub and no matter what you did water went everywhere. But the stay was very nice’

The bungalow was very clean and cutely decorated. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you needed to cook. Chairs and beach towels were also provided. But the stairs to get downstairs were hard for an older person and we found the beds uncomfortable. We also wished there was an easier access to the beach. The rocks can be hard to cross. Otherwise it was wonderful to see the dolphins every day and to hear the soothing waves. We had a small dog with us and she enjoyed the space as well.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Communication was great when we reached out for important missing items. They delivered them promptly. The house is uncomfortably furnished in main living area and we found it hard to relax. . Stairs are narrow and steep to get to bedrooms and bathrooms which was very challenging for aging guests. Prickly weeds covered the walkway down to the beach which required some work by us to clear. We walked on beach and came back with sticky tar all over our feet but luckily they dropped off some wipes for that. It was a mess to clean up initially. We made the best of our stay. It was splurge to stay there and such a disappointment in quality and comfort despite the beach front location. For that price it would have been better to stay at the nice hotel near by.

Stay if your prioritize ocean view

We are getting too old to stay in places like this. Arrived at 7:30pm to 90 degree cottage. No ac, so thru open all windows and left for dinner. Texted the laminated “welcome and call this number for any questions” number and the person replied we had the wrong number! I texted that person the pic of the laminated number and welcome letter and he replied “I need to reach out AGAIN to have them remove my number.” No AC, terrible bed where everyone falls to the center (that’s the master/not bunk room bed pictured), house on the end by the public access to the beach where homeless congregate. You are so close to the ocean it’s too loud almost to sleep with windows open. We all slept terribly. Pros were ocean view, beach access, walkable to Rosewood bars and restaurant. We spent the same amt we would have to stay at a non ocean view room at rosewood, and if I had to do it again, I would pay the extra to just stay there for a good nights sleep, ac, service and the amenities. We stayed late October and it was too hot to sleep.
