 Heaven away from home., November 7, 2009
By Cheryl Stoppelmoor (Salt Lake City, Utah)
Above and beyond any expectation. Even before I arrived Kanga was a great help in making my arrival go as smoothly as possible. Her gift basket and note on arrival was such a nice touch. The accomadations were soo.. beautiful, comfortable, restful and relaxing. Kanga had a book filled with things to do and resturants in the area with maps. My stay and the beautiful hikes were wonderful. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. THANKS

My husband and I spent an incredible week at Catching Heaven in September, 2009. The cottage was cozy, comfortable and had plenty of closet space. It has loads of charm, and it is such a tranquil setting that we found it hard to leave. But once you do venture out, you will find an easy trek to many attractions in the surrounding area. Adjacent to the cottage is Manning Park, a very nice “green” space that is perfect for quiet strolls and picnics. Catching Heaven is situated on a lovely lane, which makes for an easy walk to the Upper Village of Montecito, where we had an excellent dinner at Via Vai Trattoria & Pizzeria. By car, it’s a brief ride to the Coast Village Road where there’s plenty of shopping and a good selection of restaurants. If you are a breakfast and/or pastry fan, you must check out Jeannine’s Bakery, and for the best selection and deals on Vino, we found the local Von’s to be the place to shop. Butterfly Beach is just down the road and is well known as one of the best dog friendly beaches in the area. Kanga's warmth and hospitality is unsurpassed. She was most helpful in recommending the best of Montecito and Santa Barbara. To sum it up, we would highly recommend Catching Heaven and we will definitely stay there again.
 
 Loved Catching Heaven!, October 18, 2009
By E. Card (Avon, Connecticut USA)
We stayed in this gorgeous spot for a long weekend to go to a wedding. This place had everything we needed and more than we could hope for. It was beautiful, comfortable, convenient, and very homey. Our hostess, Kanga, was affable and very helpful. We wanted for nothing while we stayed at her lovely home, but if we had a need, we were confident she'd be able to help us. She unobtrusively provided a great deal of helpful information about Santa Barbara. If you've never gone to the Santa Barbara farmer's market, take a stroll through for every sense to be stimulated. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and look forward to staying there again. We encourage others not to miss this great place!
 
 AMAZING!, October 8, 2009
By Dwayne and Tesha Blevins (Boerne, TX)
My husband and I came here for our anniversary and it was absolutely perfect! It was cozy, immaculate and beautiful! It had everything we needed and Kanga is a wonderful hostess. She was so much help, we had all of the information we needed and she was so gracious! It is an absolutely beautiful area. We hope to come back soon.
 
 Perfection!, August 16, 2009
By Judi Bagnato (Scottsdale, AZ)
This truly is a perfect getaway paradise. The accomodations were cozy, immaculate and charming, the location just perfect. The hospitality could not be better and the whole experience was even better than we expected. Adding the extra day was great, wish we could have stayed longer. Hope to return as soon as possible!
 
 piece of heaven, July 27, 2009
By Trina B (lake gregory CA)
this place is the perfect peaceful getaway! away from tourists and traffic, but close to all. Kanga had all the info on places that I would have liked to see ready when I arrived and the hiking was amazing! the beach was so close and there is the most beautiful little park right behind the property. Tropical views from each window and complete silence..except the singing birds...ahh this was heavenly! I will be returning every chance I get!
Owner Supplied Testimonials
Thank you for your lovely hospitality! We loved your cottage and anytime we come back to Santa Barbara - we will book again. Also - I'll tell all my friends about it.

Seeing that photo made me long to be back in beautiful Montecito already! I've been telling everyone how wonderful your place is, and I'm sure I'll be sending some folks your way. Thanks again, Kanga! We hope to see you again someday soon.

Hi Kanga,
Brian and I are still talking about the wonderful vacation we had in April, and want to plan our next trip back down. .


My purpose in spending a week in Montecito was to enjoy time with Ashley and do some self-reflection, and your guest house was ideal for that. While Ashley studied for final exams,I sat out on your tranquil patio and read a book, thought about my future, and dozed off now and again. It was so peaceful to listen to the birds, the occasional sprinkler. We also appreciated your assistance in hosting Ashley's eight friends for dinner. Life is so darn short, and to be able to spend this precious time with my daughter and her friends means a lot to me. And you made it possible, by providing us with a table, tablecloth, extra cookware and everything we needed to have a party. Thanks!

Not sure if you received our text yesterday, but I wanted to thank you for your hospitality this past weekend. Jared and I had a wonderful time, and we enjoyed meeting you. Your cottage was beautiful, and we plan to visit again.
Thank you once again. I can't express just how wonderful our visit was.
