About this property
Single-Level Beach Cottage | Step-Free + Views
A single-level, step-free Summerland cottage with ocean-view decks — 2 queen bedrooms sleeping 4, an easy and accessible base near the beach. The Duo is proof that "easy" is a luxury of its own: step-free entry, everything on one level, and ocean-view decks where the day begins with coffee and ends with wine. With its warm vintage beach-cottage charm, it's a favorite of grandparents joining the family trip, couples who want simple, and anyone for whom stairs are the one souvenir they'd rather skip.
THE SPACE. One level, zero compromises: two comfortable queen bedrooms, a full bath, a complete kitchen for home-cooked mornings, and in-home laundry. The front patio catches the day's first warmth; the ocean-view decks hold the golden hours. Vintage coastal character throughout gives it the feel of the beach cottages this coastline was built on.
WELLNESS HERE. Simplicity is the feature — no stairs, no fuss, sea air on the deck, and Summerland's small-town calm doing the heavy lifting.
THE LOCATION. Summerland — minutes to the beach, village cafés and antique shops, Montecito, and downtown Santa Barbara.
GOOD TO KNOW. This home is part of Chosen's Beach Collection — older, well-loved coastal homes with vintage character, charm, and a few quirks that come with age and salt air. What they trade in modern polish they return in location, views, and value.
DISCLOSURES - This is an older home with single pane windows. Please be aware you may hear the sound of the freeway from time to time while enjoying the beautiful ocean views - Home features central heating, space heaters and fans, no AC

Nothing is cheap in Santa Barbara area but this small 2 bed room place was adequate for us. Only thing we didn’t like was the noise off the highway. It gets really loud specially if you need to open windows.

We appreciate your feedback, Kyu! Our place offers a convenient spot in Santa Barbara, and highway noise can be noticeable, but we’re glad the space suited your visit. Hope we can host you again! :)
The property is exactly as described and pictured. Amazing ocean views! There was a check in delay with the cleaning crew but a quick text to Aiden got it resolved nicely. The highway noise can be loud at times with the doors open to catch the great ocean breeze. We were even able to see a StarLink rocket launch from the balcony.
I still can't get over the view from the living room. We sat out on the balcony every morning and enjoyed our breakfast before exploring the town. Aidan was very helpful and responsive. We didn't have any issues.
This is a very nice two bedroom property. Its safe, clean and comfortable. There is a lovely view of the ocean from the kitchen, dining & living room. Highway 101 is about 3 blocks away, so there is some noise when the windows are open, but its cool on the coast at night and the bedrooms are at the back of the property so we had no trouble sleeping. The kitchen is well stocked there were lots of pots and pans, a coffee maker, toaster, blender and a slow cooker. The beds were comfortable and there were lots of pillows. There was shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the bathroom and beach towels were provided also. There are no stairs going into this unit. You need to step over the bathtub to get into the shower, but their were grab bars. There seems to be another unit down stairs - down the hillside- but we never saw or heard anyone. The houses are somewhat close together, but the neighborhood was quiet the week we were there. Summerland is a small, cute, upscale town. We had a great brunch at the Beach Cafe down the road. Summerland Beach is quite rocky, go up or down the coast. We were quite comfortable here and would reccomend staying here.
Lovely little home overlooking the ocean. The kitchen and bath had everything we needed and the beach and restaurants were only a few minutes walk away.I would definitely stay here again!
