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.

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.

Property is very clean and great for our small dog (plenty of floor space for bigger dog as well), love the beach decor, deck, and parking spot is GREAT! Plenty of coffee and fridge comes in handy. Main bed is very comfy. It's like a studio so even though I stayed with my college aged kids (hubby couldn't make it this trip), I think this place is great value for a couple with young kids.

We are Mark and D'Arcy Cornwall. We have one dog, Casper. We both graduated from UCSB and went to law school in Santa Barbara. We are retired now and love to travel in our RV when not in Summerland. We decided to rent out our guest house as a vacation rental so we could share the joy of this special place with special people. We hope you love Summerland as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Summerland is a coastal gem! We love the small community. It is a beach town with great restaurants, stores, coffee shops and a bookstore. The beach and park are walking distance from the rental. We hope you enjoy our little pocket of paradise!

Two miles of sandy beach from Summerland to Padaro;
