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!

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!

A very clean, comfortable, peaceful and pretty quiet (except for a little 101noise, which didn’t bother me, I’m from L A) also thoughtful and useful extras everywhere.
There was a trail two doors down that was great that took you on a loop with a fairly good incline to a beautiful meadow with wild flowers and gorgeous views I’d say the loop was just over a mile, perfect for me and my dog, we hiked it 4 times and never saw a soul, we loved it.
Thank you D’arcy and Mark

This was our second stay here. It is close to the beach. Our dog loves it. Only downside is some traffic noise, but we think the trade off of being blocks from the beach is well worth it.

Very sweet studio within walking distance of downtown Summerland and the beach! Super dog friendly and nice little touches like dog treats, dog and beach towels, and human snacks at the kitchenette!! :)

Great place to stay especially if you have dogs. Host was awesome, beach where we took our dogs and Summerland was a great little place. Such a peaceful getaway and views of ocean were definitely real. Place was also very clean and comfortable.

I book A LOT of VRBOs and D’Arcy and her rental just knock it out of the park. A prime location, it does not suck looking out the windows and seeing the ocean from your bedroom. The rental is very easy to find, walking distance to everything Summerland has to offer and a short drive from Santa Barbara. The unit was absolutely spotless and I so appreciate all the small touches (snacks, drinks, even treats for the doggos). D’Arcy thinks of everything. It makes all the difference. You’re going to catch some slight traffic noise from the freeway, but the unit is very private and it shouldn’t disturb your sleep. Our first time in Summerland, we look forward to returning and staying with D’Arcy. 10/10. Would recommend!

Tho property has everything you need! Very cozy and quaint. The area is an old town feel with mom and pop shops and restaurants. The owners have a binder with all the info you need including descriptive directions for numerous hikes nearby. Very thoughtful owners who left a card and little gift to celebrate my birthday. We will definitely be returning! Perfect for an adult weekend getaway.

What a wonderfully special place to visit and stay at Amor Fati! The studio is so cozy and comfortable with a beautiful view of the ocean off the balcony. Walking distance to the adorable Main Street of Summerland with great shops and restaurants and a short drive to scenic Santa Barbara.
The hosts D’Arcy and Mark thought of everything! There were snacks, treats for humans and fur children and everything you might need in the quaint studio. Communication was excellent and a special gift for my husband and I since we were celebrating our 10 year anniversary ❤️. Top notch and can’t wait to visit again!

We enjoyed our stay. The hosts were very accommodating and the cottage was extremely well stocked and appointed. It was great to walk to the beach. Enzo enjoyed running on the beach. Great place. Thanks.

Really love the location of this property. Easy walk to beach, restaurants, shops, etc. And the trail that goes all the way around Summerland, provided in the Information book, was so nice. Great way to see the whole town. I didn't bring my bike on this trip but will when I come back. So many cyclists roll through here and I understand why. Roads are nice, rolling hills, and smooth. Nearby trails for hiking and easy to get to neighboring towns of Santa Barbara and Ventura, if you are looking for even more to do. There is some noise from the freeway, especially right now with work that's being done on this stretch of highway, but host has a noise machine that allowed me to sleep quite well and drown most of that out. I brought my dog with me and was pleased with all the places I could take her. Summerland Cafe was expecially accommodating. Best part of the day is late afternoon, sitting on the balcony, looking at the ocean, with a glass of Summerland wine.

My wife and I stayed at Budda for 2 nights. Owner/Operator D'Arcy is wonderful, friendly, and thoughtful by stocking this gem with everything that a home away from home will need. The property is clean, comfortable, and relaxing. I do wish if this property is 100 plus yards higher, I think the view would be even better and less noisy from the highway traffic. Although if you close the windows and door, you don't hear the traffic. Overall, this is a very nice property.
5.0
Not the hosts fault but it was really noisy! Just be sure and turn the air on . They also have a be noise cancelling machine . I thought that was very thoughtful. In order to keep water in the tub they had a weird set of shower curtains set up which I didn’t like. It wasn’t possible to take a bath? Anyway a fun area to explore and a cute place to stay!

This property is as listed and then some!! It is well stocked, easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. Short drive to Montecito -use the frontage road, no need for the 101. If you have a dog with you, use the self-serve dog wash at the park and come home with clean doggie!! The hosts are very accommodating and helpful if you are looking for something or somewhere to go.

We love the apartment - close to SB proper but with easy access to all of our favorite quieter locales in Carpinteria and the SB back country.
We’ll return whenever we have a few days free.

We spent an amazing weekend at Amor Fati! The space was fantastic and we loved being able to see (and hear!) the ocean waves. D’arcy and Mark were incredibly thoughtful and accommodating hosts - they thought of everything and more. Location is perfect for a dreamy getaway to Summerland. Looking forward to our next stay!

Great location; walking distance to restaurants and the beach. Nice, friendly, and safe neighborhood. Ubering to our concert at Santa Barbara Bowl was easy and convenient. The property was clean and stay hassle free. Amenities were perfect for our needs. Owners were great and communication with them was smooth. I’d stay again and highly recommend.

D’Arcy is a great host and my fiancée and I had an amazing stay. The property is clean, spacious and quiet — and the balcony in particular is excellent. It’s barely 10 mins down the road from Santa Barbara so everything is easily accessible. Plus, it was my fiancée’s birthday 5/5 and D’Arcy thoughtfully gave her a small gift.
We had a blast and we would absolutely stay there again. Instructions to check in/out were straightforward and D’Arcy communicates immediately if you message her. Can’t recommend it highly enough for a weekend getaway.

It was better than advertised. We felt at home during our short getaway. D'Arcy had thought of everything to enhance our stay from snacks to beach towels. Windows everywhere that allowed the sun to shine in. The location is convenient and Summerland is a beautiful community. We were grateful that parking was on site and that we were guaranteed a spot. There was a convenient green patch along with treats that made our dog, Bella's stay perfect. We strongly recommend this to others. Thanks again!

Nice place. Very thoughtful hosts in providing snacks, drinks in the fridge and anything else we might need.
Very close to restaurants and shops in Summerland. like 2 minutes to walk.
We did need to use the white noise machine to block freeway traffic and train noise. We found that to be a minor concern

My husband and I love this studio by the sea. D’Arcy’s thought of absolutely everything and our stay (our first in the area) couldn’t have been better. From booking, preparing to arrive, then our actual stay, D’Arcy was everything you’d hope for in a host. She gave us extremely helpful information about the area and made sure the unit was fully cleaned and stocked to ensure a wonderful stay, including snacks for our doggie. We really can’t say enough about the unit itself and how hard D’Arcy worked to make sure we had everything we needed. We walked the 2 short blocks to the beach every day (with the beach towels and chairs that came in the unit) and our dog loved to frolic in the sand. We also enjoyed all the restaurants we could walk to. We will absolutely be back to beautiful Summerland; we feel as though we’ve made a new friend in D’Arcy!

We enjoyed the location and wonderful hospitality of our host. We came on Boxing Day and were surprised by a tray of snacks and a beautiful keepsake candle . Our dogs smiled all two days sitting by the porch looking out at the horizon

This was a perfect quiet homebase for us for a chill Santa Barbara weekend. It was a little rainy, so it was nice to have somewhere so cozy to come back to.
Communication was easy and everything went smoothly. We’d love to stay here again in the future!

My son and I were in town for a lacrosse tournament in Carpinteria. We picked this place because of convenience (just 6 min away) and ended up really enjoying it more than we anticipated! The room is light-filled and well appointed. We especially liked being able to walk just a block or two to restaurants.
