This is a lovely guest suite. Excellent location for a relaxing getaway by the beach. Plenty of restaurants near by. I was mostly there by myself with my dog, but two friends joined me for the last day and the place never seemed crowded. The host is most accommodating!

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.

We loved D’Arcy’s place in Summerland. We were attending an event in Santa Barbara and the location was perfect. Easy access to SB. We had a great time walking down the street to the Summerland Cafe, Rusty’s Pizza and Lookout Park. My family of 4 fit just right in the apartment. D’Arcy left many great snacks and sent us a few messages with helpful information. We would definitely recommend her place to others.

Just Absolutely Lovely

It’s difficult to describe just how lovely the location and host here in Summerland really are. The Proximity to Santa Barbara and Montecito was perfect. It made for a perfect retreat from the frenetic energy of my niece’s wedding. It was quiet and relaxing and really just lovely. The host’s attention to detail was really the icing on the cake. If you’re looking for a spot to get away, this is really the place!

Just lovely!

Reserved this stay for a long weekend with three other girlfriends. The stay was exactly as advertised, with plenty of snacks, suggestions, and a gorgeous view. The host was also very communicative and kind, and even dropped off a bottle of wine. Summerland itself is adorable and we were pleasantly surprised just how close Santa Barbara and Montecito were (just a few minutes). The cot under the pullout was a bit squeaky but otherwise truly a perfect stay and would definitely book again'

Evac booking !

Such a cute little spot with easy parking and access to everything in the cute town of Summerland and the beach. D'Arcy goes above and beyond to make you feel at home with coffee, water, sodas, snacks waiting for you... Amazing ocean view and adorable little deck. and walking distance to all the best food spots in Summerland and great little hiking trails. It's close to the freeway, but the place is surprisingly quiet at night with the windows closed. She also has a noise machine for you if needed.I forgot my laptop, and D'Arcy went out of her way during work to wrap it up, take it to Fedex, and send it back to me. She was so accommodating to us during a very stressful time and we would love to go back.
