Summerland Stagecoach Cottage - Historic Beach Gem
2 BEDROOMS | 1 BATHROOM | 6 GUESTS
This home is full of history in one of Santa Barbara County’s “cutest” towns. The small seaside community of Summerland has everything you need within walking distance: the beach and a beautiful oceanfront park, restaurants, coffee shop, wine tasting, general store, art galleries, and antique shopping. A bike path will take you into neighboring Montecito and you’ll be just a short drive from Santa Barbara to the north and Carpinteria to the south.
Built in 1889, this home was on the original stagecoach route for Summerland complete with a welcoming porch and garden. The owners have taken meticulous care of this home to keep it up to date and full of its original charm. The cozy Living Room features a bay window, leading into a formal Dining Room and Kitchen. The two Bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations and the Bathroom boasts a clawfoot tub/shower. The spacious backyard includes dining and lounge space as well as an outdoor shower. The home owners also provide beach chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards. Grab your supplies and head down the few blocks to the beach!

Cute house close to nice cafe, coffee shop. Would stay again.

The house was nice if not outdated.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.

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 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.
4.5
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!

The property was large with 3 bedrooms and king beds. Very clean and fully equipped. Fully landscaped back yard with a large back patio kitchen. Close to town and beach.. Enjoyed it with our family!

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.

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.

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..

Very nice
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.

Our September Stay
Overall, we enjoyed this property. However, the bathroom was not stocked with soap, shampoo or toilet paper. Thankfully we brought our own. Also, the fridge was not plugged in, so we had to go buy ice for our perishables.
Also, the check out was at 10am, which seemed a little early, especially since (I'm assuming) there was no one coming right after us. (the house seemed like it had been empty for weeks prior to our arrival, kinda musty). And the gardeners came at 9:30am, so we had to rush out of there.
Overall we enjoyed the house and the area.

Getaway Cottage
We enjoyed our long weekend at the Summerland Cottage. The property was very clean and matched the online description.
A few issues:
1. The property does not have air conditioning. When we arrived the house was incredibly hot. This inconvenience was made worse by the petroleum fumes in the air that come off of the oil soaked beach just a block from the property.
2. No dishwasher.
3. Lack of bedside plugs for charging devices.
The property is charming and certainly had a beach town feel to it.
