The check and checkout process was seamless. This property met all of our expectations. The house was well equipped with everything we need to cook in the kitchen to sit on the beach for several hours in beach chairs, beach towels, and beach umbrellas. The outdoor amenities were absolutely fantastic the hot tub, the grill and the extra furniture. When we return to Santa Barbara, we will definitely rebook at the same property. The location was walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops shopping. 10 out of 10.

The Golden Hour was a perfect place to stay for our family (4 adults and 3 kids). The bunk beds were a big hit for our little ones. Closeness (walkable distance) to downtown Summerland was also a big positive. Any questions that arose during our stay were quickly answered. The best recommendation I could give is that we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

This was a great house for our friend's weekend. It was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Check in and check out were hassle-free. Communications were easy as I was booking. It was accessible to ride-share services and also had a driveway to park. We would have needed a full week to fully enjoy all of the lovely social spaces in and outside of the house.

We loved our stay in this beautiful home! It has been very thoughtfully renovated and includes so many beautiful decorative details. The layout was great for our family, with all the teenagers in the bedrooms downstairs and their own common room and tv. We spent several long afternoons all together, reading, napping, playing games, and watching movies in the upstairs great room and out on the balcony and a couple evenings roasting marshmallows by the fire pit. Proximity to town is excellent and we walked over for pizza and for brunch. The Wanderlust staff was helpful and responsive. Our only disappointment was in discovering that the beach we could walk to wasn’t one our kids could spend the day at - the sand has tar in it that covered the bottoms of our feet and was difficult to scrub off. We wound up making the short drive to Carpinteria for days on the sand. All in all though, a lovely stay!

Awesome Place Great View of the Ocean

We had a wonderful stay in Summerland! The property had a beautiful view of the ocean that made the whole trip feel relaxing. The space was clean, spacious and just what we were looking for. The only small downside was a lack of wash rags, but that didn’t take away from how much we enjoyed our time here. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Great Summer Beach House

This was a beautiful property, even better in person. Our family of 6 plus one infant thoroughly enjoyed our weeklong vacation! I would highly recommend the property for a get-away! My favorite feature was the lovely porch swing.

Great Location and Quaint Property

Loved this location. Walkable to shopping, restaurants and beach, short drive to Channel Islands National Park and Santa Barbara/Montecito. Very quaint, restored with great detail. We had a lot of rain while visiting, but the home had so many thoughtful amenities, we didn't mind being inside cooking in the well appointed kitchen and by the fire.
