Quiet, perfect location for home base or retreat

I loved staying here, a great space with everything I needed and a welcoming place to relax and retreat. Close to lots of great restaurants and places to visit in SB area, and if you want to stay at home base, a wonderful place to just relax. I was on a work/play trip. Perfect for both. Will stay again!

Cute home in charming Beach town

We enjoyed our three nights at this property in The charming beach town of Summerland. It was a an excellent base for exploring, not only Santa Barbara, but other beach towns. It was comfortable and within walking distance of restaurants and a small grocery store. We had a great time.

Nice view of the Ocean, but far enough back that the freeway doesn't over power the noise level. Everything we needed to cook was there, parking was right in front of the unit so we didn't have to park on the street. Clean and comfortable! The artwork was memorable!

Cute, Private, Comfy - Great Hosts

We needed a quiet get away during a stressful time for our family. This unit was perfect, set in the little town of Summerland by the sea. It boasts a partial view of the ocean, comfortable bed, well appointed kitchen and awesome big TVs. The neighborhood is quaint and very quiet as well. Our hosts were practically invisible, allowing us perfect privacy while still being very responsive to any questions we had. Thanks Rick & Debby, it was the perfect stay and just what we needed!

Great Weekend Getaway

Had a wonderfully sweet time at the Summerland Double Dolphin! My husband and I came up for a short weekend getaway from Santa Monica, along with my brother who was visiting from Wisconsin, and it was just perfect. The property is close to some great little cafe and shops, as well as just a 5-10 minute drive to downtown Santa Barbara. Rick and Debbie were very kind and easy to communicate with. Only regret is that we didn't stay longer!
