Great location, so close to the beach and the rental was lovely. You really feel transported into another whimsical world walking up to it. There’s only steps leading up to the property so if you have special accommodations, be mindful of that. The host was amazing and everything you could ever think of needing was provided in the rental.

Great getaway! We loved our stay in Summerland. Place was clean, stocked with everything we could possibly need and the balcony was a huge plus. Cute cafe with a great breakfast and adorable coffee shop within walking distance, as well as a gorgeous beach. Quick trips to Santa Barbara and Solvang enhanced our stay. Nothing but raves.

Great, clean property with prompt responses from hosts. We stayed here because it was close to Carp and found Summerland to be a super cool town with a great bookstore and nice beach.

We had a wonderful stay at the property! Check-in was clear and easy, and the space was exceptionally clean and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. It’s within walking distance of some great cafes and restaurants, which was so convenient for dinner and breakfast.The bed was very comfortable, and I was told the pull-out sofa bed was comfortable as well. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches, including treats, bottled water, coffee, tea, and even special doggie treats for our furry guest!Our pup loved being so close to the beach and park, and the balcony was a highlight, offering beautiful views of the Channel Islands and gorgeous sunsets.I was here for a girlfriend getaway and to run the half marathon, and my friend even mentioned that she’d love to bring her husband and two young children next time they visit Santa Barbara. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend this property. We're UCSB alumni and like supporting fellow gauchos!

The room itself was nice and well stocked. Good appointment to detail. It had nice views. Our concern was the double flight of stairs as both suffer from back issues. Would stay here again as my relatives live in a nearby town.

This was our first trip to the area, and we were traveling with a dog. We stayed over the Fourth of July weekend to avoid fireworks. This place was amazing from the location, communication with host, available parking, the clean room, and even refreshments in the room. This place is definitely a nice place to stay. It was located between Santa Barbara and Carpeteria, which a perfect location to visit both cities, but quite at night. We would stay her again the next time we are in the area.
