Historical summer cottage

This small size cottage was sweet and plenty of amenities. A few surprises include the size of the place (it feels much larger with the enclosed back yard). The flow of the place was perfect. Older couples might not like the steps into the cottage or the inclined parking spot, however, it was easily walked and the outdoor stairs have a nice railing. The kitchen’s full size refrigerator and oven/stove were handy for making snacks/meals. Another plus was the town/beach are walking distance

Historic cottage in the heart of Summerland

A charming historic cottage in the heart of Summerland, with a beautifully landscaped backyard. Spacious rooms are traditionally decorated, but only one bathroom and no dishwasher. Surprisingly quiet and convenient - just off the main road. Ideal for a small family or a few friends. The cottage could use a deep cleaning and updated bathroom plus a dishwasher.

Very Adorable Vintage

Only one minor suggestion, the home is near the busy road. There is persistent road noise as very common in Santa Barbara, not unusual. Perhaps suggest that for the noise sensitive to bring noise cancelling headphones for sleeping. Great place, loved it, would stay there 50 x over if given the opportunity. Thank you.

A Week Away In Summerland

Property was well maintained, bathroom was a little bit of issue because of the high claw foot tub with shower a little more difficult for older people to get in and out of. There wasn't a dishwasher, not a big deal because just the 2 of us but might be a problem for another group staying. Even with the bad weather that was happening all around us that week, everytime we had planned an outing we had beautiful sunny blue skies!

Decent little house but extra fees are out of control.

The house was nice if not outdated. The clawfoot tub was difficult to use and the shower curtain will touch you the whole shower, but other than that, and the lack of light in the rooms, it was a nice house. Big back yard to sit in. Close to the beach. My biggest issue was with the surprise fees at checkout, don't believe the cheap per night price. Our total price more than doubled with all the fees they tacked on just before checkout. Also, they sent me a ton of texts for extra services I had no interest in.

Adorable and cozy

Everything was fantastic. My best friend and I had a girls weekend getaway. The house is so cozy and cute. The town is small but wonderful and the house is a 5 min walk to the beach. And just a 10 min drive to downtown Santa Barbara! I would absolutely come back here again and recommend to anyone visiting.

Fantastic getaway near Santa Barbara

This house was charming, comfortable and so well located. We loved the backyard and the kitchen that was filled with every gadget and appliance we could have needed. Summerland is such a cute town, and the beach was within easy walking distance. The drive to Santa Barbara took under 10 minutes. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Vacationing on the freeway

It’s next to the freeway and has massive and loud construction all night. You can’t sleep at night and the freeway is so loud you never want to be outside. There is one shower- you have to lift your leg very high to get in and you have the shower curtain to the tub clinging to you. If your 6ft your going to hit rhe shower head. The floor boards are a mess and the mattresses are too soft. I’d never return, Ever. My first bad review ever - after doing this type of thing for 21 years..

We love to stay at this little college, it was the perfect place for our family. The only complaint I had was the shower was in adequate. Just the bathtub was amazing but the shower curtains were touching me at all sides and that was gross.
