Whether you're sticking a toe in the water or searching for treasures on the shore, Butterfly Beach is the perfect place to spend some time with the family. Why not bring a picnic and a rug and make a day out of it?

You're spoiled for sightseeing choice when spending time in Montecito. Butterfly Beach is a good place to begin here, but there are loads of other fine attractions to discover. Santa Barbara County Courthouse, Mission Santa Barbara, and Presidio Santa Barbara are close to the stretch of coastline and and will cap off your day nicely.

Everything was perfect! Very clean, pet friendly, nice courtyard, very quiet, and walking distance to everything. Just a heads up if you are going check in late, they won’t send you the code and self check in instructions until after they close through text. They were kind of hard to get a hold of by phone when I initially called for self check in instructions which made me anxious but once I found out you can text them it was a lot easier. They text you often and check in to see if you need anything and respond much quicker through text. I highly recommend booking your stay here. I have already recommended this place to coworkers and friends!

The hotel is beautiful. Location is perfect. We loved our stay here and would definitely recommend it. We had the king size bed and literally melted to sleep, it was so comfortable.
