Lovely and immaculate property, perfect for our weekend sports-parents stay. Really appreciate the extra touches from the hosts: coffee and creamer; snacks; beach towels. Wish we could have stayed longer to explore the adorable neighborhood! Would stay again.
We will definately book here again. We love how close everything is. We also love how peaceful the community is. We were wanting a low key getaway, to rejuivinate, and this property aided in the success of that objective.
Our stay at the Summerland Guest Studio was perfect. We were there to drop off our daughter at UCSB, and used it as a relaxing home base in between moving her in and shopping for supplies. We walked to breakfast and then down to the gorgeous beach one morning. The neighborhood is quiet and the beds are clean and comfortable! All in all, a great stay!
Good, friendly communication. Very clean. Fun porch with view. Coffee, tea, sparkling water and doggie treats greet the visitor. Be aware of footed tub shower and lots of stairs-fun for most folks, tricky for one of us.
This is a lovely guest suite. Excellent location for a relaxing getaway by the beach. Plenty of restaurants near by. I was mostly there by myself with my dog, but two friends joined me for the last day and the place never seemed crowded. The host is most accommodating!
Relaxing, clean, close to the beach and Santa Barbara
We really enjoyed staying here. The host has thought of so many things you would want being close to the beach. It is walkable and our dog loved frolicking in the waves.
We adored the accommodations and gardens! The place is easy to get on/off the highway and minutes from downtown. The information binder had just what we needed to find things to do and places to eat throughout the area. We will definitely visit again!

Excellent property! Hosts are very friendly and communicative. Location is great. Just a short walk to the beach! Will stay again.
Just beautiful, peaceful and perfect. Very thoughtful and thorough host, charming neighborhood, and so close to the beach where our dog had the time of his life running around
This place is a hidden gem. It was perfect for our five day stay. We visited Solvang and Santa Barbara. D'Arcy was very friendly and even surprised me with a bottle of wine for my birthday!
Great place to stay especially if you have dogs. Host was awesome, beach where we took our dogs and Summerland was a great little place. Such a peaceful getaway and views of ocean were definitely real. Place was also very clean and comfortable.
The Summerland Guest Cottage was a lovely landing spot for us to have a few days of quiet by the beach and with our pup. D’Arcy was a wonderful host. We hope to be back soon for a longer stay.
Property was immaculately clean and well appointed. Had pretty much everything we needed (including our dog). Easily accessible to all of Santa Barbara and environs (beaches Montecito, Downtown and Goleta/Isla Vista!
Located in the heart of magical Summerland, we love this studio for both its charm and its walk-ability to shops and beach. We did a couple of the trail walk suggestions provided by D'Arcy and loved the views. Truly a magical getaway.
Everything was just as described, which is to say, lovely! Such a comfortable room, furnished and stocked with all we needed, and more. We love the area. D’Arcy was the super host, very quick in communication, and great recommendations. So glad we got to meet!

We had such a lovely stay at this property. Pretty views, comfy, spectacular location, kind property owner. We’ll be back.
Easy, breezy private little hide away for sleeping & showering after sunshine hours on the beach and evenings at great restaurants in SB and Carpenteria.
The place was extremely clean, convenient, and perfect for a weekend in Santa Barbara! Its a 10min drive from the Amtrak station which makes for an excellent home base for anything you may want to do around the area. Aside from the great quiet location, its also an incredibly cute guest house with a kind a helpful host. Highly recommend and would gladly stay again myself!
A great location, great view, and a perfect spot to stay in when visiting the Santa Barbara area. Some really great restaurants, shops and a beach all within walking distance. The unit was stocked with just about everything you could need and the host was extremely friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.
