Architecturally, we really enjoy this home. It's not your typical boxed house, but a more rounded avant-garde affair with a bright upstairs floor. Natural light is the prime asset in Bright Moments as this whole home is built with huge windows, translucent materials, and light shades that open up the space and make it look even bigger. The furniture is high quality, with a minimalist flair but also with a certain sixties touch. The kitchen is well-equipped with anything you might need to put together an elaborate meal, and there's a shaded terrace downstairs for hotter days and another one above it. You'll always have a neat view from this home, especially since the popular Padaro Beach is only fifty yards away. A typical day in this home will mostly consist of lounging about and short trips to the beach for a swim — and to us that sounds just perfect.

About Montecito
Best known as the home of those Hollywood’s A-listers that don’t even need a surname (Oprah, Ellen, Meghan...), lovely, leafy Montecito has not always been this way. This now glitzy community a few miles along Highway 1 from Santa Barbara, at the foot of the Santa Ynez mountains, still retains a quaint village atmosphere. Case in point – the main drag, Coast Village Road. Here, charming boutiques sit alongside sunny...
