About this property

Summerland Beach Retreat - Fun in the Sun and on The Beach

5 BEDROOMS | 4 BATHROOMS | 10 GUESTS

Don’t miss out on this RARE opportunity to be right on the sand in a small row of private homes. You’ll be located in Santa Barbara County’s “cutest” town, the small seaside community of Summerland. Everything you need is within walking distance: the beach (just walk out the back door!), restaurants, coffee shop, wine tasting, general store, art galleries, and antique shopping. A bike path will take you into neighboring Montecito and you’ll be just a short drive from Santa Barbara to the north and Carpinteria to the south.

This unique property is serving up a nearly private beach that curls up to this tri-level oceanfront home. With floor to ceiling windows, nearly every room has a full ocean view. Enter on the second floor with the large open Living Room and Kitchen leading out to an expansive beach deck and a Guest Room and Bathroom. Use the spiral staircase to the upper level loft and find a generous loft-style Primary Suite with the addition of a cozy Twin Bedroom, second Bathroom, and a desk area. The lower level features a private Suite with a separate entrance and an additional Bedroom, a Hall Bathroom, and a second Kitchen and second Laundry Room. Use your private beach walkway to spend the day swimming in the water, eat dinner watching the sunset over the ocean, and fall asleep to the soothing sound of crashing waves.

HIGHLIGHTS:
-On the Beach!
-Outdoor Fire Pit
-Three Levels of Ocean Views

Fantastic House and Grounds on the ocean

Three generations spent three nights here celebrating an 80th birthday. House is fully equipped and in perfect condition. Grounds are manicured with flowers, shrubs and trees perched along the cliff above the ocean. All very impressive.

Family reunion vacay

The property was beautiful and the location was spectacular. Plenty of room for the nine of us to enjoy our stay. The only drawback was that it was difficult for our mother who walks with a cane to navigate the steps and walkways to the lower levels to enjoy the outdoor space and the beach and and it would have been nice if all of the outside landscaping lighting was on in the evenings. Otherwise we had a wonderful time!

Family Easter Mini Vacay

We had an amazing time at this gorgeous home! Although the first couple of days, the weather did not cooperate, and it was raining, the home had plenty to keep us occupied. We played ping-pong, cornhole, board games, card games, and there were plenty of TVs to keep everyone happy. Soon, the sun came out. Wow, what a gorgeous location right on the beach. You will have your own private fire pit, your own private sitting area to watch the beautiful ocean and dolphins, your own private entrance to the beach, and so much more! You won’t regret staying at this beautiful home!

Fabulous

I made the reservations for our family get together. There were 9 of us. The first Comment to me for the selection was "You SCORED! Our family loved the place. We planned to do off property activities but after the first day everyone preferred to just stay at the house. The Beach was easy to access and clean. There was a Ping-Pong table and other games but mostly we just hung out and enjoyed the view and the weather. We saw at least 4 pods of dolphins go by. At the end of our stay no one wanted to leave, and all wanted to come back again.

30th Anniversary Trip

We had an amazing family vacation at this beautiful beach house!! Paradise Retreat management were great to work with, very thorough and attentive. The house was outstanding, and easily accommodated our 3 generations family group. We took full advantage of all the toys on sight. Ping pong table matches were ongoing! Boogie boards, sand toys, and beach umbrellas were used daily. The veiws of the ocean from various sitting areas inside and out were phenomenal!!!!!! My husband and I watched pods of dolphins pass on 3 occasions during our 3 day stay. Early to mid morning sighting. So grateful for this fantastic vacation!

Amazing location beachfront

The home is in a fantastic location beach front, just walk down the steps to enjoy the beach. The house is also fully equipped to enjoy family quality time. We especially enjoyed the ping pong table, cornhole, wood fire pit, bbq, and awesome decks and beautiful views. The only caveat I would add is that the house has a lot of stairs and many different levels which could make it difficult for little ones and those that are much older. Also, the property manager was very nice and made the check-in process super easy!

Fun for all

Positives…Lovely location with lots of room for families. We were celebrating my mom’s 90th birthday and all were able to enjoy. Beach access was awesome, and the amenities on property ensured we had everything to play in sand and sea. Additionally, there were outdoor seating areas to enjoy the view, as well as ping-pong and corn hole. The little community park was also very convenient for our little one. The kitchen is amazing and has everything you could want to prepare food and cook/bake/grill, except for a garbage disposal. Negatives…downstairs bedroom #3 reeked of mildew when we first arrived. Management brought odor reducing/absorbing desiccant which made it manageable by day 2. Additionally, the same bedroom is not officially a part of the house! Access is gained through a single door in the backyard, which means one must exit the house and walk down the outdoor path. This was a total bummer on our 2 drizzly days. This fact is not disclosed in the online house description. Would we stay at this home again? Absolutely yes, if we only need the use of 5 of the 6 bedrooms.

Great location

We had a very nice stay at the property. It is well equipped and comfortable if a little dated. Our only negative comment is on the owner calling to complain about us having 5 cars in the driveway for a brief period instead of the permitted 4. We had family stop by to caravan with them to another location. We had 5 cars in the driveway for maybe 10 minutes to load some items into the cars and got a phone call from the management company saying the owner had called them about the issue. I guess the owner doesn't have a lot to do other than watch the camera feed.

The Perfect Place

Nine middle age women took over this fabulous property. The house was perfect for our needs and well stocked. The gardens were even better. Incredible landscaping and views. Awesome walkway to the beach. Could not have worked out better for us with the bedrooms and bathrooms. Enough seating for 9 in the main living room. Tons of outdoor seating. Short walk to the most quaint town with fabulous boutiques. Easy access to the 101. Absolute Perfection!!

Fantastic house with an amazing View in the best part of SB.

There were five of us and the house was almost perfect. The view is impressive, and the house is spotless, with nearly all new furniture. The group that manages the property are amazing and very attentive. Each room and bathroom are ready for your stay and the kitchen was fully stocked. The only thing is that one room that's considered a bedroom is a very small room with a day bed, not really suitable for an adult. Our pilot, unfortunately, had to stay in a hotel. Otherwise, I highly recommend this property.

Spectacular House!

This property delivered everything as advertised, and more! Only 2 issues: firstly, it is located right next to a train line; second, despite the enormous space inside and outside the house, you are only permitted 10 people at any given time (and the management has cameras to verify!).
