Stunning Ocean & Mountain Views in Tranquil Setting

Hidden away on a private road at the top of a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this gated upscale residence offers breathtaking views, modern conveniences and stately accomodations. Ten foot ceilings, crown molding, wood floors and a spacious covered veranda add to the elegance of this home.
A ten minute walk takes you to Summerland beach or lush hiking trails: a three minute drive to Padaro Beach; a five minute drive to Coast Village Road in Montecito or to the polo fields.
In this quiet oasis the only night sounds are horses gently calling to each other or avocados falling to the ground; a sanctuary from the stress and noise of daily life.
This property has been described (by guests) as a serene, soothing haven for all of your senses. Sip a glass of wine as you savor a resplendent sunset or have your morning coffee as you identify the many different birds flitting around the tranquil gardens.
Some Highlights:
Marble surround wood burning fireplace in living room
Gas fireplace stove in family room
Upscale furnishings
Ten foot ceilings with exquisite crown molding every room
Flat screen cable tv’s in the family room, kitchen and 2 bedrooms with HBO, Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Netflix & more.
Hi speed internet
Many out door areas to relax with friends & family
New gas Bar-b-q
Avocado, orange, lemon & peach trees. Help yourself!
Lots of parking

Great Thanksgiving retreat

Wonderful old-school Montecito vibes, vintage furniture and decor with an absolutely incredible view of the ocean and forest. Every room more cozy than the last, great variety of vibes and sleeping arrangements, the property itself a wonderland garden with lush, mature landscaping in a private oasis. Absolutely top-notch.

Spacious, Wonderful Outdoor Spaces, Great Location

We stayed for 8 nights, it was great. Plenty of room inside and well equipped with just about everything you need (sadly we didn't notice the blueberry muffins the host had provided until we were leaving!). The deck and outdoor space were great with seabreeze and views. Our dog particularly enjoyed the ability to roam around outside without leash. Easy access to downtown SB, Montecito and spectacular beaches east of SB. Would love to return!

This property met with my teenage daughter's approval and that itself merits it 5 star ratings. We spent sunset hours mostly in spacious balcony from where you can see a canopy of green and the pacific ocean. The garden below is lush and beautiful. You know it has been grown with care over decades. The house is spacious, kitchen is modern and the bathrooms beautiful. We locked ourselves out late at night on account of our own errors and the owner (and her daughter) responded quickly. Beyond the house, while we enjoyed everything in Santa Barbara, our highlights were 2 - one sunset on the nearby Santa Claus beach and the Vedanta temple a bit further up on the hills behind the house.

Great view and location, old furnishings

We enjoyed our time at this home and its beautiful view. The house is spacious and had a great location, with a cool breeze coming in from the west. However, the furnishings are quite old, and most of the outdoor seating is not worth sitting on—uncomfortable, dirty, spiderwebs, lichen, etc. The outdoor tabletop consisted of a piece of warped plywood with a tablecloth over it. (There was a note from the host saying that would be replaced later). There was one newish outdoor sofa that we spent most of our time on, and we enjoyed that. None of the large screen doors worked properly; we were constantly putting them back on their slides. The house had everything we needed… and a few things we didn’t want, like lots of old personal hygiene products in the bathroom drawers and cabinets. The interior was clean, and the kitchen looked recently remodeled. The carpeting in the house was quite old/worn. Important to note that this is not a stand-alone house. The VRBO rental is the upper level of the house, and there is someone (I think the host?) living in the lower level. The garden has orange, peach, lemon and avocado trees. Overall, view and location are great, but at over $600/night, we felt we had paid too much. We would not rent again due to the discrepancy between the furnishings and the price.

Summerland getaway

The house is located an easy 10 minutes south of downtown Santa Barbara near Summerland, a laid-back little community with a couple good cafes. It was the perfect size for my husband and myself plus two young teen boys. All the amenities and easy parking. Beautiful view of the water from the back porch. There is a nice little beach about 3 minutes drive down the road which we found to be not as crowded as the beaches nearer SB. We’d definitely go back.

Tranquil Beauty

Large tranquil patio overlooking a luscious tree canopy with a remarkable variety of flora adorned with oceanviews. Birdlife, horses and rustling tree leaves are a welcome respite from the city sounds. All necessary amenities and well equipped kitchen. Private driveway and secure parking. Serene neigborhood with peaceful neighbors and beautiful surroundings. Large spacious rooms throughout. Owner’s communication readily available and prompt yet not overbearing. Property location private, at the same time accessibility to Summerland and local beaches a short drive.

lovely Summerland home

We enjoyed staying in the Summerland. The big porch was lovely to sit on (rain or shine) while looking out over the valley and the ocean. The yard was big and a nice place for our dog to get out. There are also several nice walks nearby. The two main bedrooms are big and comfortable. The third bedroom is small and probably best for 1 person or a child or two.

I miss the veranda!

This property was as advertised-almost wheelchair accessible-with two stairs to enter the house. The treat was to be able to get out to the veranda and among the trees and birds without any help. Being outside on the second floor was a cool experience. The well stocked kitchen was much appreciated and it was easy driving distance to Santa Barbara, Solvang, and Carpenteria. Disabled travelers will need to be able to transfer to a shower chair in the bathroom but this rental was pretty user friendly.

Relaxing and Beautiful

My family and I had a wonderful stay in Summerland. We have family in Santa Barbara but this was our first time in Summerland and it's such a magical place! This rental was perfect for us - two sitting rooms with incredibly comfortable furniture, a large kitchen with everything we needed to cook delicious meals, an extra large balcony with comfy couches and GORGEOUS views, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large tub! The place has big windows in every room and lots of light. You can see the ocean through the trees from the balcony and the weather in October was perfect for sitting outside. The beach is so easy to get to and was one of the best beaches we've been to. Susan left a sweet welcoming letter and was very accessible and responsive to any questions we had. She provided us with EVERYTHING we could possibly need during our stay. She even made us some delicious muffins and let us take avocados from her tree! Five stars!!!

A Lovely Stay

We had the most fantastic stay! The home is minutes from the freeway, and very easy to locate. We loved that the home is not on a traditional street/neighborhood- it’s private with plenty of parking and quietly surrounded by beautiful fruit trees and seasonal vegetation. The house is perfectly distributed in space offering various spots to sit and enjoy each other’s company, the outside beautiful long balcony that oversees the ocean, and best of all- it’s nooks for your quiet moments. Overall, it was all that we wanted for our family and more. We look forward to many more stays. Thank you, Susan for sharing your beautiful home!

Beyond Expectations!

Amazing home, gorgeous property, gracious and welcoming hostess - this experience exceeded all of our expectations! We have rented through various agencies in several states over the years, but this visit rises to the top of the list.... Everything was very lovingly maintained, the home well-stocked with everything from spices and cookware to extra towels and bedding. There was plenty of room for all of us (three grandparents, our daughter and the two of us) to spread out and have privacy or to gather in one location... usually, the deck to enjoy the views. We couldn't have asked for a better visit, and Susan was a wonderful host. We highly recommend enjoying this home and would love to return!
