Perfect CA beach stay

What’s wonderful place for a couple or a family. We travels with our two adult children for a wedding and this was perfect. If you are traveling with little ones, it will be even better. Why pay for the cost of an overpriced hotel when you can stay here.

This is a lovely guest suite. Excellent location for a relaxing getaway by the beach. Plenty of restaurants near by. I was mostly there by myself with my dog, but two friends joined me for the last day and the place never seemed crowded. The host is most accommodating!

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!

We loved D’Arcy’s place in Summerland. We were attending an event in Santa Barbara and the location was perfect. Easy access to SB. We had a great time walking down the street to the Summerland Cafe, Rusty’s Pizza and Lookout Park. My family of 4 fit just right in the apartment. D’Arcy left many great snacks and sent us a few messages with helpful information. We would definitely recommend her place to others.

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!

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 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!
