This is an historic beach cottage duplex for a perfect vacation near the beach in a safe. Shopping and relaxing on Lillie Avenue is your perfect activity followed by relaxing in your private yard.

Heaven in Summerland
Great place and a great location. It is only for two people and my wife and I enjoyed it immensely. Restaurants are very close and every thing is in walking distance. However, you can drive into Santa Barbara if you want. Also a great place to take off on your bike if you would like to do that, also.

Can we move here?
We loved our stay. The town is charming and has lots of character. The fruit stand across the street is delicious and added to the small town feel of our stay. Conveniently located between Santa Barbara and Ventura, but nestled away from the crowds.

Quaint cottage/Excellent location.
My partner and I enjoyed our stay. The host, Leslie, is a superb communicator and very helpful i.e. restaurants and locations to visit. The cottage is conveniently located near walkable shops, restaurants and the beach. It is clean and the bed is comfortable. The patio garden is peaceful and private. We enjoyed our stay, and we will definitely return.

Great for one person
The garden was spacious, the apartment clean and bright. But too small for two elders. The highway traffic and Amtrak train noises were cumbersome, otherwise it's a great place, for one.

Great stay in Summerland
We loved this place in Summerland. The garden area was as advertised, and made for a very pleasant office away from home. We were a close walk to a nice beach and a short drive to downtown Santa Barbara. Plenty of shopping close by, including a great wine tasting room next door. We'd absolutely stay here again.

About the host

Host profile image
I wanted a safe place to raise my three children and I found it in Summerland. We couldn't believe how wonderful the beach is, the small school of less than 80 children and how the kids would stop on their way home for lemonade and cookies. Palm Cottage beach house that was one of the original homes in Summerland. We have taken pride in making this up to date with modern necessities yet homey and beachy while making this community our home. Palm Cottage is a way of life: simple and beach oriented in a wonderful community.

Why they chose this property

A short walk to the beach. Buying a house downtown in the commercial district was perfect for us. At night it is like you don't have neighbors-everything is closed. The house stretches from one block to another and it gives us two private yard for sunbathing or just having morning coffee outside. It is close to everything. 3 blocks to the beach and for antiquing, 3 to a fabulous facial or massage, or mani-pedi. The yard is tropical and wonderful. The cottage has been newly painted and there is new kitchen cabinet and top, new lighting and flooring. It is simple and safe. Private and convenient. The yard says it all...relaxing!

What makes this property unique

Palm Cottage environs is in a safe community. We relax outside for breakfast in the garden, enjoy coffee on the deck and wake up to a tropical garden view! We take our kayaks to the private end of the beach and launch right into the ocean. The house is old and charming but well maintained. Close to everything and away as well!
