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!

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.

Magical Summerland

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.

Evac booking !

Such a cute little spot with easy parking and access to everything in the cute town of Summerland and the beach. D'Arcy goes above and beyond to make you feel at home with coffee, water, sodas, snacks waiting for you... Amazing ocean view and adorable little deck. and walking distance to all the best food spots in Summerland and great little hiking trails. It's close to the freeway, but the place is surprisingly quiet at night with the windows closed. She also has a noise machine for you if needed.I forgot my laptop, and D'Arcy went out of her way during work to wrap it up, take it to Fedex, and send it back to me. She was so accommodating to us during a very stressful time and we would love to go back.

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.

This is a very special place. It is roomy and very comfortable for a couple, and the hosts have thought of everything to make your stay easier. They were kindly, communicative, and helpful. We came to do some bike riding, and the cottage is right at the base of a beach trail that goes up to the northern sections of SB. We will definitely stay here again!

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.

Summerland Great Location

Stayed here two nights: it has a wonderful aura. Everything I needed was thoughtfully provided: good coffee, soft drinks, snacks. Enjoyed the deck in the afternoon sun. I loved being walking distance to restaurants and shopping— saw the Dodgers win the first night of the World Series at the Nugget, breakfast at the Summerland Beach Cafe… I felt like I was part of a friendly, delightful neighborhood!

Perfect for Santa Barbara get away!

This cottage is lovely! It's located walking distance to restaurants and the beach and only 5-10 minutes from downtown Santa Barbara. The space is large, with a very comfortable bed. The owners make you feel very welcome with a generous basket of snacks and a variety of beverages in the fridge. I would definitely stay here again!!

Cozy retreat

Cozy place to stay. Close to many amenities. Perfect for a quick getaway (and not a problem with a pet!). D'Arcy is very communicative. I loved the binder which listed restaurants, hiking trails, and places to visit both locally and in Santa Barbara. There are thoughtful touches. We would love to come back again!

Fantastic place and convenient location

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!
