The property does not have air conditioning and there was a heat wave during our stay. We turned on all the ceiling and floor fans but still couldn’t get the house cool enough. The property looked like it hadn’t been occupied for a while and there were spider webs in many places.

Fantastic location and layout for the family holiday together - relaxing areas for games and meals, short walk to the beach for frisbee and views, and nice location for travel to Santa Barbara, Solvang, etc.
Beautiful sunset a 5 minute walk from the house after some frisbee!

This lovely property in Summerland was the perfect place for a reunion with our dear friends. It was comfortable for 4 of us but could easily sleep six. The location is great- a short walk to the beautiful beach or park, restaurants and Godmothers a wonderful bookstore and coffee spot. The house has everything you need and the hot tub in the tropical back yard was wonderful. Paradise property management was very responsive- one of the beach chairs was broken and a new one magically appeared on our doorstep the next morning. We will definitely return- an overall great vacation spot!

We loved this place! Plenty of space and very private. The 3rd bathroom is on the lower level which was a bit challenging for the 2nd bedroom occupants having to use two sets of stairs. Bedroom 1 and 3 have their en-suite bathrooms.

A pleasant stay !

We enloyed our stay with our adult children. Not the perfect house for older individuals with some physical limitations. But the perfect little place for a short get-away.
