Property is very clean and great for our small dog (plenty of floor space for bigger dog as well), love the beach decor, deck, and parking spot is GREAT! Plenty of coffee and fridge comes in handy. Main bed is very comfy. It's like a studio so even though I stayed with my college aged kids (hubby couldn't make it this trip), I think this place is great value for a couple with young kids.

Perfect CA beach stay

What’s wonderful place for a couple or a family. We travels with our two adult children for a wedding and this was perfect. If you are traveling with little ones, it will be even better. Why pay for the cost of an overpriced hotel when you can stay here.

Our stay at the Summerland Guest Studio was perfect. We were there to drop off our daughter at UCSB, and used it as a relaxing home base in between moving her in and shopping for supplies. We walked to breakfast and then down to the gorgeous beach one morning. The neighborhood is quiet and the beds are clean and comfortable! All in all, a great stay!

This is a lovely efficiency with a view of the ocean. The porch/deck was great to watch the sunset. It is close to the highway, but the noise from traffic at night, even with the windows open, did not bother us. We slept great, the bed is very comfortable. Great restaurants in walking distance and I absolutely recommend Godmother’s for books! I was very pleased with our stay here and would do it again.
