Host especially helpful in getting in and responding (quickly) to questions. After that we did not contact him until the day before we left clarifying what we needed to do to check out. Turns out turn off the lights and start the dishwasher. It doesn't get any easier than that. Our family fully enjoyed the home, location, jacuzzi, layout of home and its quirkiness. Thank you!

Even though there was record breaking rain we had a great stay. We had a place for everyone and the kitchen was wonderful. We really appreciated it being pet friendly. The house was quirky, just the way I like it! Thanks Aidan for being such a great host. Quick to respond to all my questions.

Disliked: Cleanliness
We only stayed a couple hours. The cleaning product smell was intense. The windows didn’t lock, the floors were slanted, one of the fire places was sinking, hot tub had dirt on the bottom. In addition, the mattress and pillows were stained and uninhabitable in addition the rugs had big stains. I would pull this listing!

Bachelorette party
Great place! Aidan was very responsive and so helpful throughout the entire trip. The place was much bigger than we were expecting which was good. The parking fits more like 2-3 cars rather than 4 as advertised. There was room for our group of 9 to hang out and be together comfortably. The house is a bit old but it worked well for our group. The rooms were a bit hot at night but nothing terrible. Great view of the ocean and in a quiet part of town! We enjoyed our stay a lot!

We loved the property, and all our interactions with host Aiden were excellent. There were a couple of issues which if fixed could have made the stay perfect, and I'm sure Aiden will have addressed them when we left. A truly delightful property!

Family fun
Good times were had at this Summerland house! We were a group of 7, aged 27-65. The house accommodated us easily.
The location was great- minutes to Montecito and downtown/waterfront Santa Barbara.
If you go on a weekend, the Santa Barbara farmer’s market (downtown) is a MUST.
Aiden was responsive. Our only slight disappointment was the weather. Had it been a bit warmer, we would have been able to enjoy the yard and views more.

Nice views in Summerland
Overall we liked the property. Quintessential California home. Views were nice from the yard but the best views are in upstairs bedroom that is accessed outside the house. As a family with children, we didn’t love this feature. We also brought our dog and the pictures looked as though it was fully fenced. It is not. Something to note if you were hoping to let your dog off leash. There is no a/c and there were no fans so we got hot at night. But the location is great, the house had all the amenities and we would stay there again.

Wonderful stay in Summerland
Lovely at sunrise or at night under the stars, the hot tub had views of the ocean and distant Santa Barbara. Great yard with deck. Perfect place for watching the sun set over the ocean.
We were a family traveling for a wedding at the Rincon Beach Club which is just and easy 3 miles away, so the location was ideal! We were three married couples and two single ladies and were all comfortably accommodated.
Check in/out was easy. Communication with host excellent. We had everything we needed and the place is even equipped for the beach!
