Relaxing, clean, close to the beach and Santa Barbara

We really enjoyed staying here. The host has thought of so many things you would want being close to the beach. It is walkable and our dog loved frolicking in the waves.

Guest home away from home!

We adored the accommodations and gardens! The place is easy to get on/off the highway and minutes from downtown. The information binder had just what we needed to find things to do and places to eat throughout the area. We will definitely visit again!

Magical Summerland

Located in the heart of magical Summerland, we love this studio for both its charm and its walk-ability to shops and beach. We did a couple of the trail walk suggestions provided by D'Arcy and loved the views. Truly a magical getaway.

Just Absolutely Lovely

It’s difficult to describe just how lovely the location and host here in Summerland really are. The Proximity to Santa Barbara and Montecito was perfect. It made for a perfect retreat from the frenetic energy of my niece’s wedding. It was quiet and relaxing and really just lovely. The host’s attention to detail was really the icing on the cake. If you’re looking for a spot to get away, this is really the place!

Just lovely!

Reserved this stay for a long weekend with three other girlfriends. The stay was exactly as advertised, with plenty of snacks, suggestions, and a gorgeous view. The host was also very communicative and kind, and even dropped off a bottle of wine. Summerland itself is adorable and we were pleasantly surprised just how close Santa Barbara and Montecito were (just a few minutes). The cot under the pullout was a bit squeaky but otherwise truly a perfect stay and would definitely book again'

This is a very special place. It is roomy and very comfortable for a couple, and the hosts have thought of everything to make your stay easier. They were kindly, communicative, and helpful. We came to do some bike riding, and the cottage is right at the base of a beach trail that goes up to the northern sections of SB. We will definitely stay here again!

Fantastic place and convenient location

The place was extremely clean, convenient, and perfect for a weekend in Santa Barbara! Its a 10min drive from the Amtrak station which makes for an excellent home base for anything you may want to do around the area. Aside from the great quiet location, its also an incredibly cute guest house with a kind a helpful host. Highly recommend and would gladly stay again myself!
