Montecito Vista Napa Vacation Rental

Our family stayed here at the end of May 2021 for my sister’s wedding weekend. It was myself and my husband and our 3 kids, my parents, my grandmother, and my brother and his wife. The house is beautiful, well kept, clean, and was perfect for our stay! It’s very close to the main area in Napa where there are lots of restaurants. We typically cook some meals when we rent houses and although we didn’t this time, I checked out the kitchen and I can say it is very well stocked if you plan to do any cooking. The backyard is an oasis that we enjoyed relaxing in. There is a hot tub, a large dining table, bocce ball, propane fire pit, and a gazebo. It’s a large fenced in yard and is perfect to enjoy the beautiful weather. There is also plenty of seating indoors for everyone to sit and chat while drinking morning coffee. No one in our large group had to stand to give someone else a place to sit.

Some extra things I found nice were the full size shampoo and body wash available in each bathroom. Most houses leave you a sample of something that will only last one or two times. We didn’t have to buy anything extra for the house. There is also a washer and dryer in the basement. Another awesome touch was there was not a “to do” list of things that are expected when you leave (take bed sheets off beds, start a load of towels in the washer, run the dishwasher, take out trash). I was surprised by this as we have rented many houses and this seems to be common. I contacted the property manager the morning we were leaving just to make sure and his response was, “we will take care of everything.”

Carla is absolutely wonderful to work with. Our original reservation was for June 2020 but my sister’s wedding was unfortunately postponed a year due to Covid. When I contacted her to ask about moving forward our reservation a year, she was more than helpful and moving the reservation was seamless. We would absolutely stay here again!

Carla, thanks for sharing your beautiful home with our family!

This was mine and my wife’s second time staying at Montecito Vista Napa! We LOOOVE this home! It was so amazing the first time, that we couldn’t wait to come back! This time, we came back with a 7-month old baby and were very pleased to find that there was a pack-n-play already set up and ready for our use. Everything about this home is very, very well-planned and executed.

It is hard to describe how beautiful the entire home is! Every single room is masterfully designed and decorated. The home is also in a very perfect location; literally less than a 5minute drive from all that downtown Napa has to offer and a short walk (~3mins) to a very nice and quiet trail. The beautiful kitchen overlooking the huge, open windows, the hot tub, the built-in overhead SONOS speakers and the firepit all make this place THE perfect vacation home! Seriously the best place to stay in ALL of Napa!!

Not only was the location fantastic but the owners provided such a warm and welcoming experience. They took such care to ensure their guests felt comfortable - amazing hospitality. The place was immaculate, well stocked and inviting. The location was perfect and walkable to downtown. Definitely going to stay there again!

We recently visited the property for the weekend with two other couples. Carla made it so easy to book the house and she did such a good job communicating with me. I have been to Napa about 5 times now and this is our best trip yet. The house had plenty of room for the 6 of us. It was the little things that made it special like great wifi, Sonos sound system, and wonderful backyard to enjoy the great weather. It is very close to downtown Napa, oxbow market, and just a minute away from Silverado trail to get to all of the great wineries. I would highly recommend the house and look forward to going back again.

This is a beautiful home, inside and out. I rented it for a two-day lifestyle photo shoot for several wine brands. We had a crew of 9, plus 4 models and there was plenty of space for everyone to work and spread out. We used 5 areas of the house to set up various scenes, and spread out our props throughout the bedrooms. We had a food stylist that was able to work in the expansive, state-of-the-art kitchen throughout the entire shoot. The outdoor area is complete with a fire pit, hot tub, bocce court, gazebo, and dinner table. The owner, Carla, was very easy to communicate with and her house manager was especially helpful. While this house would be perfect for a large group or a few couples staying in Napa on vacation, it was truly ideal for our photo shoot.
