About this property

Beautiful Ocean View Superb Home Summerland Lillie by the Sea

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.

The front deck has a Bistro table and chairs, providing an unobstructed view of the ocean and its perfect sunsets. Entering into the home, leads you to a fun beach vibe interior with gorgeous wood floors, crisp white walls, and a cozy modern décor. The living room has a giant curved glass window that looks out to the Pacific Ocean. Relax on the sectional sofa while enjoying time with friends, or turn on the large flat-screen TV and curl up to watch a movie. If you feel like taking a break from the world-class cuisine that the neighboring towns of Santa Barbara and Montecito have to offer, utilize the fully-equipped and completely remodeled kitchen. There is a dining table inside that seats 6. There is also an outdoor table for six on the back deck that is accessed through the kitchen's French doors.

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. Both bedrooms have flat-panel TVs, and the Master bath has a large and welcoming newly remodeled walk-in tile shower.

Special Features of the home: Private back patio with gas fire pit and gas grill - Front porch with ocean views - 3 Flat Screen TV'S - Free high-speed WiFi - Cable TV - Washer & Dryer - Refrigerator with ice maker - Fully Equipped Kitchen - Beach Chairs and Umbrella - 2 Indoor and 1 Outdoor Shower - Street Parking - Near Summerland Cafe's and Shops - Minutes away from Santa Barbara, Lower Village, Montecito & Carpinteria.The inside fireplace is for looks only and is not functional.

Nearby Beaches: Lookout Park Beach 0.5 miles (walking distance) - Loon Point Beach Trail 1.0 mile (Pro Tip! This is practically a secret gem, Shhhh... don't tell anyone!) - Padaro Beach 2.7 miles (limited parking and you walk over railroad tracks so be alert, watch the kids and get here early for a good parking space) - Carpinteria State Beach 5.7 miles (Known as the worlds safest beach) - Butterfly Beach 3.0 miles(limited parking but worth it for the views.) And, of course, one of the best surf beaches on earth, Rincon, is only 9 miles to the South.

Nearby Sites to Explore: Downtown Carpinteria (breweries, restaurants, shops, cafes) - Lower Village in Montecito (Cafe, bars, shops restaurants, wineries) - State Street Santa Barbara (shops, restaurants, bars, museums & theaters, wharf & beach ) - Funk Zone Santa Barbara (wineries, restaurants.)

The house and property are very lovely and charming. Enjoyed our stay. Had some issues with the keyless entry, reported it, but it never got resolved. There is road noise, but all in all great stay. Lovely view of the ocean, outside landscape us beautiful. House decor is very cute and comfortable.

Loved this little cozy cottage by the sea. Great location and quick walk to Red Kettle Coffee every morning!!! Only suggestion is access to the home. We followed all instructions to a T. We struggled and had to call Casago for help. They were quick and helpful. Added words to your instructions could be Turn door knob to the left and door pushes open. We will come back!

Perfect family trip

We had a wonderful stay. The house is very nice, even better than the photos. The yard creates a beautiful little oasis. The house is next to the freeway but we didn’t mind at all, having such great views of the ocean far outweighed any noise

This was one of the sweetest, comfy places I’ve stayed in to date. The beds were so comfortable… and it has everything you need to head to the beach. Having said that… you have to know that it is located literally across the street from the freeway and on an Amtrak line. If you are a light sleeper or have an aversion to traffic noise, this might not be the place for you. I was able to white out the noise at night with a fan and I got used to the background noise while sitting in the backyard. The plus’s definitely outweigh the noise aspect, however. Summerland is an adorable village with so much within walking distance. The produce stand is amazing (and is a wonderful nonprofit feeding hungry families in the area)!! I would definitely stay there again.

Could Not Recommend

This house is very old and it is right on the freeway. There is not just a little freeway noise - there is constant, loud, rumbling freeway noise. Having the windows open is a must because the house gets stuffy. But the noise is unbearable. The bathroom throw rugs were filthy. The towels were grey and dingy. This is not a place I would ever return to.

Cute clean cottage on the freeway

I was disappointed and felt misled by the pictures of the home. Booking it quickly because of the photos and fit for our family, I didn’t do a thorough job reading the reviews. Cottage is darling! Walkable to downtown Summerland, and if want exercise, a walk to the beach. But the road, the train tracks, then freeway with massive road construction are basically the front yard. The noise was awful. We had hoped to sit in the front yard reading and drinking coffee, or in the backyard for a peaceful evening. With AirPods listening to music it was doable. We will not be renting this home in the future.

We had a great stay at this adorable property! Check-in was a breeze, and everything was exactly as described. The location was perfect—close to everything we needed. The home was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated. Traffic from the freeway is a bit loud but other than that wonderful! We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient getaway!

Just lovely!! We had a fabulous stay over a wedding week. The house was just as described, and was very comfortable for our group of 5. We really enjoyed the outdoor spaces, and the road noise did not bother us. The beach towels and chairs were also a great addition. We loved being able to walk down the street for coffee or a meal.

The house is charming and well maintained. We enjoyed walking through Summerland and checking out the shops. Our two complaints are very low hot water pressure in the smaller bathroom sink and not being able to run the dishwasher successfully. Written instructions on how it works would be very helpful.

Great Stay!

We loved our 3-day stay in this charming, clean, comfortable little cottage. The layout, location and amenities were perfect for our family of four, including two college-age kids. Summerland is a cute town with a number of upscale shops, and a few restaurants, and it’s an easy drive to surfing spots, Montecito and Santa Barbara. The only drawback - as mentioned by other reviewers - is the location on a frontage road adjacent to 101 - so there is definitely significant highway noise. We had one minor maintenance issue and the property manager came out to fix it right away, even on a Saturday. Overall, it was a great base for getting out and enjoying all the area has to offer.

Summerland cottage

The cottage is comfortable, clean and quaint. It's a great location for visiting the surrounding areas and a lovely view of the ocean from the front living area. We found the beds comfortable and the cottage is nicely decorated, with a vintage, beach vibe. Unfortunately for us, however, the noise from the freeway did inhibit our enjoyment of the cottage, especially at night.The listing does make reference to the noise from traffic but it was just a bit too consistently noisy for us.A second white noise machine for the back bedroom may have been helpful for sleeping. Unfortunately we also had early noise disturbances from construction on the street outside on one of the days so had to move our car the previous night so that the trucks could park during the day. The garden is a lovely space with a fire pit but we were not inclined to use it.This is a tough review to make as the cottage itself is great but for our noise sensitive family it wasn't quite as relaxing as we would have liked.

Sweet cottage with great views, beautifully decorated. Very comfortable. close to nice shops. There was one issue but the company was very responsive. The only suggestion I would make is to have some light at the bottom of the steps: its very hard to see and a bit dangerous at night.

Beautiful location!!!!

Wonderful location for a retreat in Santa Barbara. The location was on the bus line so we took the bus to and from the Carrillo Plaza in Santa Barbara. Conveniently located between 2 areas of restaurants and within walking distance to a coffee shop and park overlooking the ocean, our group of 2 couples had a marvelous time. The place was super clean with a fully stocked kitchen and there was plenty of space inside and outside for us to socialize. There is noise from the 101 but the sound machines provided adequately blocked it out and we slept great! Recommend highly.
