Hmm, this is a cute space for one person, also a couple. The problem we had with this unit was the amount of stuff everywhere, and lack or airflow. The picture makes the room seem reasonable, though small. When you arrive, it’s clear someone has jammed in as much decoration and stuff as possible. Don’t need more than a frig, coffee maker and beach towels. The rest of the space should be reserved for smart storage of guest items. Table tops should not be cluttered with tchotchkes from Ikea. Toaster completely unnecessary in this size room. Summerland is cute and walkable, easy distance to Carpenteria and SB. Neighborhood is lowkey and very walkable. There is apparently only one operable window in this unit, which makes warm temperatures tricky. Nice, friendly helpful manager. Bath Linens are barely above your cleaning towels, think Motel 6. If you go with the right frame of mind, it’s all good.

Summerland visit
We really enjoyed our stay! The area is so lovely and our rental was stocked with everything we could need from wine glasses, beach chairs and towels, bowls, plates and flatwear. The only slight negative is that the room is smaller than the photos suggest. worked for us!

Very cute, small but very efficient room that was perfect for my dog and I. The bed was comfortable. I enjoyed the coffee in the morning and the shower/bathroom had everything I needed. I particularly loved walking the neighborhood and town of Summerland in the mornings.

Santa Barbara weekend
We loved our stay here! It was a little cramped with our 3 year old daughter but it was very cozy and was perfect for what we needed as we stayed pretty busy and didn’t spend much time in the room.

So comfortable!
I was impressed that Jennifer’s Room was in a lovely upscale neighborhood. Upon arrival I walked my dog and was welcomed by 3 neighbors. I felt so safe and comfortable in Jennifer’s Room. It was a perfect place for me and my dog, Grace O’Malley.
