Welcome To 1135 Summit Rd, Montecito CA

At 1135 Summit Rd, Montecito CA, we're dedicated to making sure you don't get completely hosed by either renting--or, heaven forbid--trying to buy this God-forsaken piece of trumped-up Montecito real estate.    In Montecito, we like to name our houses.   This one is now forever more dubbed Dark Shadows.


We rented the place last summer, admittedly without as much due diligence as we should have done.   After cleaning it (truly filthy to begin with) spending tons of money trying to light it (hence the nickname) and make it habitable, we told the owners we were moving out.


Unable to rent it  (to someone dumber/drunker than we were) in the tightest rental market in recent memory, the owners are now suing us for $50k+, while keeping it on the market for the 


UTTERLY LAUGHABLE PRICE OF ...


(WAIT FOR IT...)


$4,025,000!!!


​The place is a complete shit-show.  Here's our correspondence with the owner after we moved in:


​Hi Gina,

The Carlson's just received this water bill and, as you can see, it's very troubling.  Since we do not have access, I'm not sure what is going on inside, so John should have someone check for toilet's, etc, left running.  I've spoken with the pool man, who has been there replacing the pool heater just before Christmas and he did note that all the outside fountains and the pool waterfall were running each of the few times he was there this past Month.  The controls for the fountains and waterfall are inside the house so, again, John needs to check this out ASAP!  As you can see the penalty is $2,310, which will need to be paid back to the Carlson's.  I've check with the gardener and he had turned of the sprinklers mid December because of rainfall and he has not noted any leaks in the outside systems.  Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.  Steve
