  • Tropical Escape in Beachy Summerland
    3 BEDROOMS | 3 BATHROOMS | 6 GUESTS

    Enjoy the smell of the sea air from this fully renovated outdoor patio and dining space in Summerland. This split-level Paradise Retreats home is nestled amongst tropical landscaping and stunning stonework. Immerse yourself in Summerland, known for its seaside views and quaint charm. You’ll be in a prime location that’s just two blocks from restaurants, coffee, wine tasting, and antique shopping, plus just a short walk to Lookout Park with beach access. A 5 minute drive North will take you to Montecito and a 10 minute drive will land you in Downtown Santa Barbara. So many options!

    Walk inside and take note of the sunlit Great Room filled with windows, vaulted ceilings, and French Doors. It connects to three spacious Bedrooms and three Bathrooms filled with custom carved wood accents. The real showstopper is outside on the native stone patios that feature expansive dining, entertainment spaces, and a water fall. A built-in BBQ, kitchen, fireplace, and television are complemented by luscious green plants and relaxing lounge furniture. Open a bottle of Summerland Wine Chardonnay and take in the beachy vibes.

UCSB graduation visit

A beautiful house and wonderful backyard. The house had everything needed, and a nice little welcome basket when we arrived. Convenient location for walking to nearby restaurants. As mentioned by others, the bathroom setup is a little odd, but did not impact our stay. Some highway noise could be noticed by light sleepers, but the water features help.

Great location for family wedding weekend

The location is close to 101 with a true oasis in the backyard with water feature. There are 2 bedrooms and 1 bath upstairs and 2 baths and one bedrooms downstairs making it awkward for one couple with an upstairs bedroom and downstairs bathroom. The downstairs is pretty humid with the dehumidifier filling up with water at least once per day. The amenities were all there including full size washer and dryer if needed. We will stay there again if we are in the area.

Worked for us, but highly quirky property

6 adult women, ranging in age from 25-69, stayed three nights. There are three bedrooms with very comfortable king beds. The only en suite bath is on the lower level, and it is funky to say the least. With weird clearances and a steep step down to toilet/bath, it made middle of the night tinkling dicey. While each bedroom technically has a full bath, there are two bedrooms on the upper level with one bath there, and a random full bath just outside the lower level bedroom. Stairs are everywhere, so if you have mobility challenges this is not the property for you. The kitchen is workable but very small. We had significant rain so were not able to enjoy the extensive waterfall back yard, but can see how it would be lovely with good weather. The location was wonderful, and the Summerland Cafe just down the street was fantastic for breakfast. We would stay again and recommend to others, but this property is unique in ways it would pay to be well informed about before staying.

This lovely property in Summerland was the perfect place for a reunion with our dear friends. It was comfortable for 4 of us but could easily sleep six. The location is great- a short walk to the beautiful beach or park, restaurants and Godmothers a wonderful bookstore and coffee spot. The house has everything you need and the hot tub in the tropical back yard was wonderful. Paradise property management was very responsive- one of the beach chairs was broken and a new one magically appeared on our doorstep the next morning. We will definitely return- an overall great vacation spot!
