We spent two nights in this self-contained suite, above Nicola and Cliff's garage. The suite is a good size and offers all the comforts one may wish for away from home. The hosts are very accommodating and attentive : they provided a nice range of food and drinks and even a breakfast menu. The most important factors for us, while... More

Creekside Montecito is a wonderful place to stay in the Santa Barbara area. We have stayed in the most "well-known" hotels and bed and breakfast properties this beautiful city has to offer, but this little hidden gem is now one of our favorites. Nicola and Cliff provided us with just the right amount of attention; sort of like the privacy... More

I booked Creekside Montecito as a surprise getaway for my wife's birthday. The room, amenities, and service exceeded my expectations, and my wife was very happy. Upon our arrival, Nicola greeted us for check-in. The cottage included everything we needed to go to the beach, including towels, chairs, and an outdoor shower. It was only a short walk to the...

Nestled in a secluded grove along a seasonal stream the suite is charming and emmaculate. Decorated with an eclectic cottage flair. We have stayed four times and we love it! Steps to the ocean along a storybook trail. The hosts are most accomodating and go that extra mile to make you feel welcomed and cared for. If you want total... More

My daughter and I stayed for three nights. We enjoyed the tree-house like feel of the studio; a very comfortable, airy and spacious tree-house though. The beach is a very pleasant five minute walk away; at low tide, it is a great beach to walk or run on: wide, flat, firm and long enough for at least a three mile... More

This was our second stay at Creekside in Montecito, and once again it was wonderful. The hospitality, accommodations and location are absolutely perfect. Nicola sets the standard for providing all a guest could need to feel pampered. We love the generous selection of fresh fruits, pastries, scones, granola, yogurt, coffee and teas provided each morning. The studio is well furnished... More

This was the perfect one-day getaway we needed in our Santa Barbara travels. The open floor plan room over the garage was a great size and appointed beautifully. No Laura Ashley prints! Not froo-froo. Yeah! Wonderful colors and fabric selection to match the stucco walls.. While no formal B&B breakfast, Nicola left such a wondeful selection of fresh strawberries, bananas,... More

My wife and I stayed at Creekside Montecito for 3 days, 2 nights. The hospitality was fantastic. Nicola paid great attention to detail and was extremely helpful. I would highly recommend this place to any couple looking for a nice, quiet getaway. The place is a short, 3-minute walk from the beach. And the beach is not crowded at all...a... More

Creekside Montecito is a lovely treehouse-like loft overlooking the greenery of a small creek. Nicola and Clif were exceedingly welcoming and gracious. The accommodation is their only one and the selection of loving details provides an unexpected warmth. Free extras in the spacious room included DVDs and CDs and a chocolate bar, nuts, fruits, .... The architecture and decorations are... More
