Imagine waking up to the calming sound of the water flowing or working from the desk space overlooking the stream. This home may be simple in style but it's such a peaceful haven. We see it working for a short romantic break but also as a writer's retreat for those needing a quiet setting to get work done and meet some important deadlines. The private yard is a great addition for outdoor living when the weather is good, and here in Montecito that's almost guaranteed. Park your car for the duration of your stay and make use of the bicycles provided, as all the local attractions are within riding distance, including the Butterfly and Miramar beaches for those looking to cool off with a dip in the ocean.
