Great views from the patio onto the ocean." - "Clean and comfortable ! located near ocean and restaurants" - "Highly recommended. Will be back." - "The property is beautiful and peaceful. We loved it!" - "I had a great experience. It was nice and quiet. With the exception of it being a condo where you have people above you. You hear the walking and various noises above you. I stayed in the SAND unit. The one thing I was uncomfortable with are the window coverings. If someone is outside the unit, it is very easy for someone to look in on you, because the sides are not flush against the windows. A bit uncomfortable at night when you really cant see out but someone can see in. Other than that, the property was well maintained and comfortable."

We would definitely return." - "We spent a few days at this little gem and had a wonderful time. The view from the deck, the fact that you can walk into town to get a drink or a bite, all went a long way for us. The beach is a VERY short drive away. Pet friendly area. We had no idea Summerland was such a neat, little town. Sarah was gracious and treated us like family."

- "Our family enjoyed our stayed at the Hummingbird. The set up was perfect. It gave my husband and I privacy from the kids when we needed it. But it also provided us with areas to gather and enjoy each other. Each living space was well stocked with every day needs. The location to the town and beach area were just right. The neighborhood was very quiet and the views of the ocean spectacular. The only issue we had was the garbage was overflowing when we got there and some cans were never emptied. Other than that I would highly recommend this rental. It’s simple decoration and easy feel helped to make for a relaxing week. Sue Ronan 8/1-8/7"

- "What a great location. Lovely neighborhood to walk the doggies, two great parks with playgrounds within walking distance, and beautiful ocean and mountain views. Nice places to visit close by, like “ A Sacred Space” and “Godmothers”, and good eats all around." - "The Hidden Hideaway is in a quiet and adorable residential neighborhood. Shops, restaurants, and the beach are all a short walk away. Pros- The entire booking and check-in process, the host's excellent communication, the property itself, the neighborhood, a very comfortable bed and seating area, and reliable and accessible wireless. Other reviewers have said that they could hear the upstairs neighbors, but during our stay, there were people staying above us, and we didn't hear a peep or a footstep. The only small surprise is that the property doesn't have an oven or toaster oven. That's probably in the description and I didn't notice. It does have a toaster and a microwave, and that was fine for us. I highly recommend staying here, and hope to return! Thank you!"

In order to keep water in the tub they had a weird set of shower curtains set up which I didn’t like. It wasn’t possible to take a bath? Anyway a fun area to explore and a cute place to stay!" - "This property is as listed and then some!! It is well stocked, easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. Short drive to Montecito -use the frontage road, no need for the 101. If you have a dog with you, use the self-serve dog wash at the park and come home with clean doggie!!

- "My partner and I enjoyed our stay. The host, Leslie, is a superb communicator and very helpful i.e. restaurants and locations to visit. The cottage is conveniently located near walkable shops, restaurants and the beach. It is clean and the bed is comfortable. The patio garden is peaceful and private. We enjoyed our stay, and we will definitely return." - "The garden was spacious, the apartment clean and bright. But too small for two elders. The highway traffic and Amtrak train noises were cumbersome, otherwise it's a great place, for one."

Located in idyllic Summerland, a classic California beach town that is just south of Santa Barbara. The home is a 5-minute walk from cozy cafes, restaurants, coffee shops, a wine-tasting bar and several retailers. The closest beach is only a 10-minute walk away, accessed via Lookout Park, which has children's playground and a paved trail leading down the bluff to the long and wide white-sand beach.

A chef's gas BBQ can help bring an essential flame-broiled flavor to every meal. In the mornings, you can grab your cup of Joe from the Keurig coffee maker before you head out for a fun day of activities. At the end of your day, you may want to enjoy a glass of wine or a cocktail by the outdoor gas fire pit with a built-in wrap-around bench. Both bedrooms, and the master bathroom, have modern ceiling fans to help keep the in-room climate to your liking. There is a private deck off the second bedroom for another view of the gleaming ocean.

- "We enjoyed our stay here. The house had everything we needed and it was a cozy spot. Yes, there is highway noise, but the sound machine made it unnoticeable for sleeping. The beds are comfortable and the outdoor fire was a delight. Thanks again!" - "Lillies by the Sea was a nice getaway for us. When sitting in the living room or dining room you have a beautiful view of palm trees and the ocean. It is right next to Highway 101 and the Amtrak train line so there is noise, and while we were there construction on 101 was happening during the night. The back bedroom is very quiet, the front one gets the noise. There is a really nice grill and outdoor fire pit in the backyard that were easy to use. Lots of shops and a couple of restaurant were in walking distance. Has very easy access to the freeway both North and South Bound."

- "Only one minor suggestion, the home is near the busy road. There is persistent road noise as very common in Santa Barbara, not unusual. Perhaps suggest that for the noise sensitive to bring noise cancelling headphones for sleeping. Great place, loved it, would stay there 50 x over if given the opportunity. Thank you." - "Property was well maintained, bathroom was a little bit of issue because of the high claw foot tub with shower a little more difficult for older people to get in and out of. There wasn't a dishwasher, not a big deal because just the 2 of us but might be a problem for another group staying. Even with the bad weather that was happening all around us that week, everytime we had planned an outing we had beautiful sunny blue skies!"

- "We loved the place - nice old house , very liveable with gorgeous sea views from the windows and cool neighborhood just south of Santa Barbara. Highly recommended " - "We really loved this house and spot! Great view! " - "We looooved our stay here. The cottage was so lovely and was well prepared/stocked. Walking distance to the coffee shop, breakfast places, etc. and close enough drive to downtown Santa Barbara. I loved that there was a gas stove, oven, and air fryer that made cooking so easy. The cottage itself has incredible views, huge windows that look out over the water. It definitely got cold at night but we used the space heaters and got cozy with the wood burning fireplace. My small group came here on a retreat and it was the perfect vibes. The backyard was lovely to hang out in and in the evenings we lit a fire and hung out in the living area playing games! We will absolutely be back!"

- "This VRBO was or favorite so far. It was very spacious and well equipped with anything you could need. Perfect for a couple off street parking and a heated floor in the bathroom. This place was close to Santa Barbara and Carpinteria where we were visiting. I would love to stay here again. You wouldn’t regret reserving this place for your stay." - "For starters everything lived up to what we had hoped with regards to the layout and the view. But what blew us away were the little surprise bonuses! Our host had equipped the unit with beach towels and beach chairs, which were such a nice touch. The binder was super helpful for navigating the space, and everything was well labeled and clear. It made it super easy to find everything we needed. The location was 5-20 minute drive to literally anything you could possibly want to do. We had a rental car but noticed there was a bus stop close by and an amazing coastal bike trail that linked up Carp, Summerland, Montecito and Santa Barbara. Summerland itself had a ton of charm and we often opted to just stay in and enjoy the view from the patio. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay and would highly recommend."
