About this property
Summerland Surf Shack | Chosen Beach Collection
Welcome to The Summerland Surf Shack, one of Chosen's original homes and a guest favorite for its laid-back beach vibe, ocean views, and unbeatable Summerland location. This spacious upper-level retreat is accessed by a short flight of stairs and features an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area designed for gathering after days at the beach. The home offers three comfortable bedrooms, including one king bedroom and two queen bedrooms, along with two full bathrooms. Two full-size sleeper sofas in the living room provide additional sleeping space for larger groups.
Step outside onto the expansive oceanview deck to enjoy your private jacuzzi, BBQ, outdoor dining, and lounge seating—the perfect place to sip morning coffee, watch the sunset, or unwind with family and friends while taking in the coastal breeze. A washer and dryer are also available for your convenience, making longer stays easy and comfortable.
Disclosures – Please Read
Refunds will not be issued for failure to review the following disclosures prior to booking:
* This home occupies the upper level of a peaceful duplex. A quiet long-term tenant resides in the lower unit, and each residence has its own private entrance. * The home is accessed via a short flight of exterior stairs (please refer to the listing photos). * The private driveway is reserved exclusively for your stay and comfortably accommodates two vehicles. Additional street parking is available nearby. * No air conditioning: The home is equipped with central heating only. Opening the windows and deck doors allows the cool ocean breeze to naturally flow through the home and typically keeps the space comfortable. * The primary bathroom shower handle uses older plumbing and can be a bit tricky to operate the first time. If you have any trouble, please reach out—we're happy to provide quick instructions. * The home is equipped with central heating. The original decorative furnace located inside the home is no longer operational and is retained as part of the home's original character. * This is an older beach home with plenty of coastal charm. Guests should expect some natural wear and tear, minor cosmetic imperfections, and slight settling that reflect the home's age and history. * A large mature tree at the front of the property provides wonderful shade and privacy but naturally sheds leaves throughout the year despite regular maintenance.
The Chosen Guest Experience & Exclusive Perks
The Chosen Beach Collection is a handpicked group of our more seasoned coastal homes — a little older, a little more lived-in, and full of character. What they may lack in modern polish, they more than make up for in location and soul: these are our closest homes to the sand, built for salty hair, sandy feet, and slow mornings by the water. Expect a relaxed, well-loved beach-house feel rather than a pristine, high-end finish — a few honest signs of age and wear are simply part of the charm. If you're after an easygoing coastal escape with genuine character (at a friendlier price point), you've found your collection.
What to expect: These are older, well-loved homes with plenty of character and some natural wear that comes with age and time by the coast. They're comfortable, clean, and cared for — just don't expect the polished, high-end finish of our luxury and wellness homes. Come for the location, the laid-back beach-house feel, and the value.
Still every bit a Chosen stay: Booking a Beach Collection home doesn't mean missing out. Guests still enjoy the full wellness benefits available across our entire portfolio, plus a small welcome gift on arrival, thoughtfully chosen and unique to each home.
*Please note any and all reservations and transactions incur a non-refundable 3% processing fee.

We're glad you enjoyed your stay at our place, Jerry! We do our best to keep our homes clean and our appliances working. Good thing the space worked well for your group too! We can't wait to host you all again on your other occasions! :D
Wonderful 3 days at property! Tranquil vibe with panoramic views of ocean! Colorful flowers enhance this tree lined oasis! Every detail accounted for! Our host Aidan, was respondent and courteous! Would,will book again!
My family and I had a wonderful stay at Summerland Oasis! It was a great location and space to host my family for my wedding weekend. The location was just a short drive to the Santa Barbara courthouse which made everything convenient.
We had a great stay with Aidan who was also a responsive and friendly host. The views were lovely, space was clean, and everything we needed was nearby. A group of 8 stayed here with no issues and would recommend for any get togethers!
This place accommodated our needs just fine and the location was for sure the best part. The house itself is nothing fancy & could use some updating. Seemed a little odd to have wires just taped to the floor in the closet and the shower in the master was difficult to turn on. Kitchen could be better stocked if you want to cook in often.
We stayed here with our two sons, spouses and 1 year grandson. The house worked very well for us. The view alone is worth everything, and Summerland is a perfect location to get to SB and beyond.
We booked this spot as a place to crash while attending a tournament in Santa Barbra. Perfect location with easy access to everything. House was great - host was responsive and made everything easy.
Thoroughly enjoyed our weekend vacation included a Twilight Tour of Lotusland, a breakfast at Stonehouse at San Ysidro Ranch and an exquisite dinner at Caruso’s at Rosewood at Miramar Beach. The Summerland Beach Oasis was an ideal location only a few minutes drive from these Montecito locations. We enjoyed the balcony view of the ocean and antique shopping in the quaint downtown Summerland. Aidan was quick to respond to any questions.
We reserved this Airbnb for a girls weekend to celebrate the bride to be! The location and the house was absolutely spacious and perfect! The common areas and bedrooms were clean. However, the bathrooms could have been a little cleaner as one of them had mold in between the tiles on the wall. The owner/property management had good communication skills and the property had a decent amount of parking! The overall stay was amazing with a breathtaking view.
Unimpressed. Amazing view, but needs a lot of upgrades, especially for what we paid per night.
