Carmencita is a home we'd expect to see in a movie. With its quaint factor off the charts, this home is a fantastic stay for both families or groups of wanderlusting friends. There's simply so much light, which makes every day a sight to behold. All walls of this home are equipped with windows wherever there's space for them, and thanks to the warm climate, this means you're always privy to the sun and the breeze. The furniture is relaxed with a beach-chic undertone but mostly focused on softness and relaxation — as any holiday home should. We also loved the patio and the perfectly trimmed garden. You'll be staying near the Miramar, Hammonds, and Butterfly beaches, and within walking distance to Rosewood Miramar Resort, filled with great food and entertainment. So if you're looking for your next relaxing holiday, Carmencita is a great option.

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.
