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!

Hosts were friendly and responsive. Amenities were nice. Driveway is narrow & steep and parked cars all along the street make it difficult to back out so my husband backed in driveway each time so we could pull out nose first. While the shades worked, they didn't provide the privacy we would have hoped for.

First of all, Debby & Rick are super awesome hosts who kept in touch with us the entire duration of the stay. The house is very clean, well stocked and has a great ocean view. It's a nicely built unit which is comfortable and close to everything we had planned for in and around Santa Barbara. We also enjoyed watching the hummingbirds from our window. The neighborhood is safe, quaint and has many cute shops, eateries and cafes within walking distance. We enjoyed our stay a lot and can't wait to be back!
