Green thumbs will love strolling around the perfectly landscaped grounds of Lotusland. Admire the collection of plant species, see if you can spot some wildlife or simply kick back on the grass.

This showcase of plants is often on the itineraries of visitors to Montecito. But Lotusland isn't the area's only highlight. Santa Barbara County Courthouse, Mission Santa Barbara, and Presidio Santa Barbara are some other worthwhile sights close by.

7/10 Good! (7 reviews)

Location was great…property was peaceful and well kept. Felt safe to walk to dining and grocery. We did enjoy our stay here however i need to point a couple of concerns out… The couch really needs to be steam cleaned or replaced. It was stained and dirty, we placed a sheet on cushions in order to sit on it. Floors did not look dirty but when i wiped spilled water from it the napkin turned black. I clorox wiped the floor just to feel comfortable. I think housekeeping needs to be more detailed when cleaning.
