Property details

A single-level, step-free Summerland cottage with ocean-view decks — 2 queen bedrooms sleeping 4, an easy and accessible base near the beach. The Duo is proof that "easy" is a luxury of its own: step-free entry, everything on one level, and ocean-view decks where the day begins with coffee and ends with wine. With its warm vintage beach-cottage charm, it's a favorite of grandparents joining the family trip, couples who want simple, and anyone for whom stairs are the one souvenir they'd rather skip. THE SPACE. One level, zero compromises: two comfortable queen bedrooms, a full bath, a complete kitchen for home-cooked mornings, and in-home laundry. The front patio catches the day's first warmth; the ocean-view decks hold the golden hours. Vintage coastal character throughout gives it the feel of the beach cottages this coastline was built on. WELLNESS HERE. Simplicity is the feature — no stairs, no fuss, sea air on the deck, and Summerland's small-town calm doing the heavy lifting. THE LOCATION. Summerland — minutes to the beach, village cafés and antique shops, Montecito, and downtown Santa Barbara. GOOD TO KNOW. This home is part of Chosen's Beach Collection — older, well-loved coastal homes with vintage character, charm, and a few quirks that come with age and salt air.

Overall, we had a pleasant stay, mainly because the location is excellent. The property is in a beautiful area of Summerland, walking distance to restaurants, cafés, and the beach. It is up a steep hill, but very manageable if taken at a normal pace. The neighborhood felt safe, quiet, and somewhat private, and despite surrounding units nearby, noise was minimal. Check-in was easy, communication was very responsive, and customer service throughout our stay was great. We appreciated the welcome bag with wine and a gift, although the gift item arrived broken. Management responded quickly and apologized. The beds were very comfortable, parking for two vehicles was available, and the unit had the basics needed for a short stay. However, the property itself is quite dated and could use maintenance and updating. The carpet had a strong odor that resembled pet urine, likely from previous pet accidents, and it definitely needs deep cleaning or replacement. Some furniture and fixtures appeared

We loved our stay here and would definitely stay again! Great view, perfect for coffee or wine on the balcony, even great views from just sitting at the table. We walked down to the restaurants, a five minute walk, and Godmother’s Books, a dreamy spot!

Overall the home was a nice stay, the view of the ocean is beautiful and it’s easy enough to get to and find parking. We weren’t anticipating the 101 right in front of the ocean.. we couldn’t tell from the photos that the freeway was in between the home and the ocean view, so that did take a bit of adjusting when we arrived. The home was stocked enough to bbq and cook meals. The only downside was the single ply toilet paper and slight sewage smell coming from the bathroom. Feel like with the price we paid for the stay, the toilet paper could’ve been nicer.
