Wonderful spot, went with our kiddos and had a great week. Spent one day in Summerland walking and checking local shops, several owners were there and very kind. Home was perfect for relaxing between each days adventures. Perk, hummingbirds were busy at the feeders so great mornings enjoying coffee with an ocean view and birdies.

This is by far the best vacation rental we've ever stayed in! The hosts have anticipated and provided for any and every need their guests might have. Double Dolphin is a spacious separate unit but Debby and Rick are right next door and able to respond with a minute's notice, should there be a need. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

The setting is beautiful with view of ocean, short walk to shops and restaurants, beautiful and fragrant landscaping, and a very busy hummingbird feeder just out the window. We were pleasantly surprised by a bottle of wine that we enjoyed. There are lovely and private spaces to sit outdoors. The shower and bathroom are exceptional. Beds were comfortable and kitchen is well-stocked. I'd highly recommend staying here. Location is very convenient as well.

Short drive to hikes and good restaurants. Nice view while eating breakfast at the house, and had a great breakfast at the Summerland Beach Cafe which is a short walk. If you make coffee, use the Krups over the Mr. Coffee which is very slow. The hosts were very responsive to questions. Would definitely stay here again!

The Double Dolphin offered an exceptional stay, with seamless booking and checkout processes. The home was spotless and well-equipped, providing everything needed for relaxation. The ocean view was stunning, complemented by hummingbirds visiting the feeder near the window. Its location was convenient, within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the beach, with easy drives to Santa Barbara, Montecito, and Ojai. The online listing was accurate, and although beach items like towels and chairs were unused, their availability was appreciated. The washer and dryer were especially useful after a week in Malibu. Overall, we highly recommend the property and hosts, Rick and Debby.
