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.

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.

Comfortable and spotlessly clean home in a convenient location near Carpinteria, Summerland and Hwy 101. Surrounded by stunning gardens with lots of indoor and outdoor space. Host provided several nice amenities such as coffee, croissants and facial skin care products. Also, she was very helpful and responsive.

The communication with VRBO was so awful that awful would say it’s awful. NEVER received a confirmation NEVER received ANYTHING”.” Based on my experience with VRBO I wouldn’t let VRBO manage a pay toilet!!!!! I was EXTREMELY grateful that the owner of the property got involved even they said VRBO was worthless. Finally got a phone call from “someone” not sure what country couldn’t understand a single word what that person said…..saved it as a joke if anyone wants a laugh I’ll forward it Jay D. Haber, PhD

This well maintained house was perfect for our weekend wedding in the Santa Barbara area. All of the accommodations were perfect. The spacious balcony with views toward the Pacific Ocean is spectacular. It was perfectly located for us with quick access to the Pacific Coast Highway.

It was a perfect location to our fundraising event. The common living space was perfect for preparing for the event as well as our debrief!

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.

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.
