About this property

Golden Hour - Brilliant Ocean Views at this Charming Summerland Farmhouse

Golden Hour - Brilliant Ocean Views at this Charming Summerland Farmhouse

Experience one of the original Summerland homes, built in 1895. Golden Hour exudes Californian charm with ocean views from nearly every room. Although we recommend a car so you can explore Montecito and Santa Barbara, you could get away with not even needing a car during your stay as it is in an ideal location close to downtown Summerland and the beach. Being that you are only a block and half away from Lillie Avenue means that you can walk to the Summerland Winery tasting room, shop at one of the many luxury antique home stores, or enjoy a wonderful meal at one of the local restaurants.

The three bedroom and three and a half bath home boasts and open floor plan living space complete with detailed craftsmanship including rustic wood beams, hickory floors, entry nook, restored original windows, a stone covered fireplace, and shiplap wall with the deck and ocean views as the premier feature. The ample outdoor living space includes a large deck, outdoor dining table, Traeger grill, separate fire pit and in-ground jacuzzi. The primary bedroom is located on the main level with an ensuite bath. Downstairs features a media room, a bedroom with two twin-sized built in bunk beds, and a bedroom with a queen sized bed. Both bedrooms downstairs have ensuite baths and ocean views.

The yard has been beautifully manicured incorporating custom stonework, iron gates, and palms. It is said that massive redwood tree is believed to be original to the property. We hope you can enjoy the Golden Hour at dusk in this historic home.

Property Highlights:
3 Bedroom | 3.5 Bathrooms
All Ensuite Baths
A Bunk Room Features 4 Bunkbeds
Ocean and Channel Island Views
Open kitchen, dining, and living room concept
Traeger Grill
Spa

Location: Steps away from Historic Lillie avenue where you will find Shopping and restaurants. Also, a short walk to Summerland park and Beach access.
Location: Summerland is a hillside town adjacent to the 101 freeway. Please know that all homes in Summerland have freeway noise

This was a great house for our friend's weekend. It was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Check in and check out were hassle-free. Communications were easy as I was booking. It was accessible to ride-share services and also had a driveway to park. We would have needed a full week to fully enjoy all of the lovely social spaces in and outside of the house.

The Golden Hour was a perfect place to stay for our family (4 adults and 3 kids). The bunk beds were a big hit for our little ones. Closeness (walkable distance) to downtown Summerland was also a big positive. Any questions that arose during our stay were quickly answered. The best recommendation I could give is that we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Spacious home, beautiful decor, walking distance from Summerland’s main commercial area and the beach. Reasonably prompt communications to address issues that popped up. The house is up a hill so not ideal for walking if mobility is a challenge. Lovely ocean views and huge windows; we didn’t often open the windows due to the freeway noise and Amtrak train (around every hour?). Water supply auto-shutoff situation in the late evening but we received fairly prompt response to resolve it via messages (not live correspondence due to the late hour I assume).

Thank you for your thoughtful review. We’re so glad you enjoyed the space, decor, and ocean views, and that our team was able to assist promptly when needed. We appreciate your feedback regarding the hillside location and nearby noise, as well as the water shut-off, and will continue working to improve the overall guest experience. We’d love to host you again in the future.

Awesome Place Great View of the Ocean

We had a wonderful stay in Summerland! The property had a beautiful view of the ocean that made the whole trip feel relaxing. The space was clean, spacious and just what we were looking for. The only small downside was a lack of wash rags, but that didn’t take away from how much we enjoyed our time here. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Great Location and Quaint Property

Loved this location. Walkable to shopping, restaurants and beach, short drive to Channel Islands National Park and Santa Barbara/Montecito. Very quaint, restored with great detail. We had a lot of rain while visiting, but the home had so many thoughtful amenities, we didn't mind being inside cooking in the well appointed kitchen and by the fire.
