Even Better in Person!

We stayed a week at Lazy Hummingbird Surf Bungalow and it exceeded our expectations. The bungalow has two convenient parking spaces and incredible ocean views. It was well equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. One of our favorite features was the cozy window seat, perfect for reading and relaxing while enjoying the view. We will be back!

a little piece of paradise

This property was in such a quiet location with beautiful views of the ocean. Just 1 min's drive into the local town and everything else was a short drive just beyond that. It was so lovely to be able to enjoy Santa Barbara and then "come home" to a little piece of paradise. The home had everything a young family of 4 could need and I would love to stay here again.

Hope to come AGAIN!

It was a Great place! Only 2 complaints. The Palm Tree out front needs to be Trimmed as the View was not as great as it could have been. There needs to be a Vacuum that can put on a wall with a Battery so we can clean the floor once in awhile.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful and relaxing vacation at the Summerland house. The rooms were sunny and bright, the design was excellent and the kitchen was well appointed. It was the perfect place for our family of four. My only quibble is that we could have used better directions to local beaches, but we figured it out.

Beautiful, Pristine Property with an Ocean View

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Just as pictured, this apartment is pristine, clean and stylish. Not oceanfront, but a very nice view of the ocean from the patio and most of the rooms. A five-minute drive to a nice beach and walking distance to a few shops and restaurants in the very tiny Summerland "downtown"; however there is much more to do in nearby Santa Barbara, a 10-20 minute drive from this property, depending on traffic. The rental agency was very easy to work with and responded quickly to questions.

Lazy Hummingbird Marketing Flaws

I would not have booked this rental if I had caught three important descriptions that were either missing or were underplayed in the marketing details. This property is not for people with disabilities who have difficulties using stairs since the parking level is below the property which is on a hill. You must climb a set of cement stairs leading up to a wood deck with another set of stairs. Additionally, based on the property photos provided I did not pick up on the fact that the property was not a house but rather divided into 3 separate units . Unfortunately the description of the property did not prominently define this fact until deep into the written description. I unfortunately missed this fact when I made my reservation. I wanted more privacy than this rental afforded. Also the address did not include a unit # which contributed to my thinking it was house. For those who like coffee and have never used a French "Press" there was NOT an electric coffee maker. This could easily frustrate some guests. The view was nice but was obstructed by a large palm tree and electric wires. For these reasons I believe the rental rate was too high and I would not recommend this rental unit despite the pluses of location, decor and the overall esthetic which was appealing.

If you are interested in Summerland, then you will love this place! It is really cute, clean, comfortable, a great location, and has a great design aesthetic. It is a great home away from home!

Very nice place

Nice small apartment about 6 miles from Santa Barbara.. The place is very attractive and modern with a nice deck for Pacific sunset views and mostly newish furnishings- but it is small, only has one bathroom and the beds are small too. Still we had a lovely time and recommend this place and its location. Be aware there are significant traffic jams on US 101 to and from Santa Barbara at certain times of day. Try to travel against the flow when possible.

Lazy Hummingbird is heavenly.

We were so happy with this rental. The place is darling with some of the cutest decorating and interior I've ever seen in a rental. The windows all open up for fresh ocean air and a breathtaking, beautiful view. Everything you need is close by. The walk to town was perfect, the ocean is right there, the parking is great. The layout is great making it seem even bigger than the description. You will love your stay here.

Lazy Hummingbird is dreamy!

My husband, two little boys, and I stayed at the Lazy Hummingbird for a few nights and it did not disappoint. This is the second year in a row we've stayed there, and we are officially going to make it an October tradition. The remodel is wonderful, with great design elements, comfy furniture and a souped up kitchen. The house is nestled in quiet Summerland, just minutes from Santa Barbara. The ocean views and vegetation/plant life surrounding the house leave you ensconced in a peaceful hideaway, the perfect setting to relax and recharge. We are already looking forward to next October when we return to the Lazy Hummingbird!
