About this property

Lillie’s Oceanview RUSTIC Boho Surf Cottage Steps to the beach & fun!

  • With the incredible location on Lillie Ave., you have the convenience of being able to walk to many unique stores, coffee shops, restaurants, and the beach. Our home was built in 1910 and is RUSTIC. The cottage is cozy and comfortable, but please remember it’s an older home. The hardwood floors creak a little, and the tile in the kitchen isn’t new. Lillie’s BOHO surf cottage is full of soul and good vibrations. With a wood stove in the main room, this vacation rental is NOT equipped with heat or air conditioning. Each room has a fan and a space heater. There is no dishwasher. Community tennis and basketball courts are a few minutes' walk from the house. Lookout Park is located nearby and has a playground for young children. Parking notes: Free parking is available in the driveway for two vehicles. Due to local laws, guests must be at least 21 to book. A parent or legal guardian must accompany guests under 21 for the reservation duration. Quiet Hours: 10:00 pm - 9:00 am. Please respect our neighbors.
    Backyard area with fire pit. Ideal for a couple and families. Enjoy being minutes from the beach, downtown Summerland, Montecito, Santa Barbara, Carpinteria, and the many other attractions right at your fingertips! For stays longer than 7 days, the unit is cleaned once a week with a $95 weekly cleaning charge. You will be 5 min walk to Summerland Beach, 3 min walk to Summerland Winery, 3 min walk to Red Kettle Coffee, 3 min walk to Summerland Beach Café, 5-minute walk to GODMOTHER’s bookstore and cafe, 3 min walk to Sweet Wheel Farms (Hyper-Local Farm-Stand Open 7 Days/Week), 5 min drive to Montecito (north), 8 min drive to Carpinteria (south), 10 min drive to Santa Barbara (north). Guests can feel at home with amenities like a washing machine and WiFi. Experience what our Summerland Beach Cottage offers while staying at our family house.

We loved staying at this cute cottage. The only bummer was that we didn’t get to hang out at the property for extended time due to being in town for a lacrosse tournament, but would love to go back. The coffee shop down the street has GREAT coffee and the bookstore “Godmothers” is the coziest I’ve ever been to.

Great location, we were able to walk to town and to a small beach. It was still close enough to easily drive to Santa Barbra “Funk Zone” and State Street. We came for a wedding so really didn’t spend much time at the house, but we plan to come back again soon!

Girls' weekend

The location was excellent. The town of Summerland had wonderful food and shopping experiences. We all loved the little market and Godmother's bookstore. The location was a short drive to the wharf and beaches. Highly recommend a stay at this cute cottage.

My mom and my sister and I had the best few days here! The house was bigger than we expected, the layout was so cute and felt nostalgic to cottages we grew up spending our summers in. The quick walk down the hill into little Summerland was convenient and we absolutely loved the ocean view from the house and how cozy, quaint and clean the home was. We cannot wait to return, hopefully making this an annual visit.

Amazingly comfortable place in a great location

I was with friends a few nights then on my own with family nearby. It was comfortable and fun with the three of us, but it was also a place where I felt very safe and comfortable by myself. I especially loved the fireplace and just the ambience of the house. Summerland is a unique town and a very easy drive to Santa Barbara.

Ultimate Relaxation Reset

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!

Amazing cozy beach cabin with California surfer boho vibes. Love the uniqueness of the property - felt more like a home than a stuffy vacation rental. View of the ocean through the large window was unbeatable, and all shops and food stops are mere blocks away to walk - as well as the beach! Host was a wonderful communicator. Will be back next time we are the area!

I have stayed here several times and it is just as inviting and welcoming each time! The location is wonderful, the view is amazing, and it offers a very private house and yard with a charming atmosphere. Amy, the agent, is great at communicating & always makes me feel at home. Summerland is a cute, quaint town and is very close to Montecito and Santa Barbara. I have family in Santa Barbara and I hope to continue to stay at this property many more times in the future.

This was such a perfect, relaxing, casual vibe for our 3-day weekend. There is a roomy living room and a kitchen that is stocked with pretty much everything you would need. The backyard is a great place to hang out and the ocean view out the front window was so peaceful. This cottage is also walkable within 3-5 minutes to coffee shops, bookstore, boutiques and restaurants. Super cute town and we would stay there again.
