What a beautiful place! Rick and Debby built perfection - from the detailed decor to the loving construction, they have perfected the VRBO experience. We especially enjoyed the ocean view and loved walking down to restaurants and shops. It was an added bonus to meet Rick and Debby and chat with them. We only wish we could’ve stayed longer…maybe next time.

The house is adorable, very clean and comfortable. Check-in was super easy and parking is off the street and right up to the house. There is ample, comfortable outdoor seating. The living room is also very cozy and the kitchen has everything you could want. The ground coffee, pods, creamer and sugar is a lovely touch. Rick and Debby are quick to respond with any questions. Summerland is a cute little town and house is in walking distance of the shops and restaurants. My friend and our 20 year old daughters stayed for two nights. It was perfect and we would stay there again.

The Double Dolphin is absolutely my favorite place to stay when coming to Southern California! It has all the amenities we need and is always clean and fresh, yet so welcoming and homey! My absolute favorite place to be is in the living room on one of the reclining chairs, looking out at the ocean while the sun comes up - for me, absolute heaven!

Summerland vacation

Summerland home was very comfortable and pleasant. The ocean view from the livingroom was great. The home was clean. There were not enough drinking glasses so we had to keep washing them by hand and it was disappointing that the television was not a smart TV. When we relaxed at night direct TV provided few movies and those with interruption by commerials. Good place to stay due to it's location near Santa Barbara.
