"This place was amazing! The gardens, the atmosphere, and the hosts made it an unforgettable experience."

"Firstly - wow! What an incredible cabana. The pictures do not do it justice at all. We were blown away by the sheer size and privacy. Everything was clean and comfortable, the instructions to get in and use various amenities were clear and the recommendations were fab. Will be back in a heartbeat as our stay was so memorable. Thank you for having us."

"We go back to Dino & Florida's place once a year. That should say it all about the quality of the place, the hosts, and the experience overall. Dino and Florida have a tremendous sense of aesthetics, which they express in the way the grounds were designed and created. Super recommended."

"Dino’s place is fabulous. Definitely our best Airbnb experience to date. Dino is super friendly and accommodating and his property is a crown jewel in an area that is spectacular to begin with. The gardens and pool setting are gorgeous—it’s like the Garden of Eden! We loved the guest house. It was especially cozy, has great design, and was very charming. The area is great and everything is close by. We definitely want to come back and stay again."

"We chose to spend our time in the garden by the pool because the surroundings were so beautiful! I loved walking around and exploring the many types of plants. Lovely and kind couple. Thank you for opening up your home!"

"The house is in a very peaceful location and close to all Santa Barbara attractions. The gardens around the courtyard and pool are beautiful. Of note, if you plan to cook at the house, there is a hot plate, microwave and toaster oven, but no oven or stove. There is an outdoor gas grill. For our visit, this worked out very well."

"Just lovely. A very relaxing and peaceful stay at a beautiful casita. The living accommodations are large with floor to ceiling windows/french doors that lead out to the lush backyard replete with pool and sauna. Large stone gas fireplace is cozy for evenings, and the casita boasts most amenities that you would find in a home. Very close to local hiking trails and a very short drive to Santa Barbara if you’re looking for shopping and entertainment - although we also enjoyed many of the local Monticito and Summerland businesses."

"Gorgeous & exotic property. Quiet and private. You never really need to leave.
Dino & Florida are great, responsive hosts. Would love to stay here again!"

"he vacation ( 2 weeks) at the cabana was 🤩 amazing. Dino and Florida are the nicest people ever. The garden is just wow, like a botanical garden.
The pool is built like a lagoon ♥️ everything was just perfect ( except for the weather) We will definitely come again. And if I could I would lease it forever 👍 Thank you Florida and Dino"

"This is a gorgeous, one of a kind property, a total paradise. Dino was friendly and very helpful. For anyone looking for a romantic stay - look no further!"

"Dino & Florida's place is a little piece of paradise in Montecito. Dino was a great host. Personally waited for us to arrive and made us feel welcome to his wonderful place. Went over all the details of our stay and gave us good recommendations for places to eat and things to. I highly recommend it if you are going to be in the Santa Barbara area. I would come back for another visit."

"Words can’t express how much we loved the cottage and gardens at this Montecito gem. Everything was absolutely perfect, spotless. Highly recommend time to stroll the gardens, there’s so much to absorb in the beautiful property. The zen hut was so peaceful and I loved dipping in the pool during the heat of the day. The masseuse Dino recommended was great as well, and their food recommendations (on a card in the Airbnb) were all excellent! This is the best Airbnb we’ve stayed in. Thank you Dino and Florida, for creating this space!"

"We really enjoyed our stay at Dino and Florida's peaceful oasis. The garden is breathtaking and was a slice of heaven."

"Really enjoyed our stay, Dino was so nice and welcoming, the grounds were beautiful. Loved the fresh flowers 🌸 and the claw foot bathtub. Everything was so peaceful and relaxing. We had massages that Dino helped arrange; the masseuse is fantastic. Had our own private gated parking spot. Would definitely visit again! 🩷 also Dino recommended Los Agaves and Jeannine’s, loved both!"
