    Simply wonderful

    May 15, 2011

    I had the great pleasure of staying at the "Creekside Montecito B&B" 26-30 April 2011 to explore Santa Barbara and the surrounding area. Having been in the hospitality service industry for some 15+ years, I am not easily impressed and somewhat dubious about booking something found online based on the photo's provided, but to my utter delight this self-contained B&B was beautifully appointed to an exceedingly high standard with every conceivable amenity to hand. Nichola & Cliff, my gracious hosts, went to great lengths to make the stay an experience to remember and it most certainly was. Starting the day to a superb breakfast awaiting on the little patio overlooking majestic sycamore trees and a babbling brook before toddling around the corner in search of sea glass on a gorgeous, deserted beach and finishing the day being serenaded to sleep under a blanket of stars and frog concerto - well, it just doesn't get any better than that! I can honestly say that this is the very best B&B I have ever had the sheer fortune of staying at and I will most definitely be going back!

    Chris and Nicola have a very charming place. We loved the serenity, the cleanliness, the helpfulness and the whole experience. It is a wonderful and romantic place to spend a weekend and it is so close to the beach and all the amenities in Montecito and Santa Barbara.

    My friend and I stayed at this B&B in June 2010; I still think of the wonderful memories that we created having stayed at Creekside; both Nicola & Cliff were gracious innkeepers. The room was immaculate, comfortable and private, we both had a wonderful time...will never forget our time here.....

    My boyfriend and I stayed at the Creekside Montecino last year (took me a while to write the review) I am the most difficult person when it comes to hotels, and this was definately beyong my expections. The room was spotless, the location perfect, private, we don't have 1 bad comment about our 2 night stay. The owners were so nice with us. This is truly a place we will remember for the rest of our lives. Thank you for making our stay so nice and perfect!!!

    Fabulous hosts!

    May 05, 2009

    We had a wonderful experience in Nicola's beautifully decorated B&B. The service that she provided was the best I have received at any B&B that we have stayed at (and we have stayed at a lot). She brought us whatever we ordered for breakfast and everything for fresh and of the best quality. She really bends over backwards to take care of her guests. Whenever we needed anything, it was there before the expected time. We loved having a separate structure and being perched up (as the B&B is on the 2nd level). She only rents out one room; thus, she is able to provide her full attention to her guests. We had a wonderful experience and would go back to Nicola's and Cliff's B&B.

    You feel at home in this room. It is very private cottage in the back of the house. The owners are very helpfull and excellent couple. Much better than any hotel. The beach is only one block away. I will definetively stay again.

    This was a terrific place to spend a peaceful weekend. The Host and Hostess kept us supplied with great food, good tips on hikes and places to eat. It really could not have been better. We cannot wait to return.
