Beautiful view, lots of patio space. Simple home, with lots of light and charm. I live in a separate flat at the end of the driveway. No pets/additional guests without prior consent. If you are coming with children or pets please submit an inquiry first. I love kids however the house has high patios with climable railings. The space Summerland is a great town. It is more peaceful than Santa Barbara but only ten minutes away so you get the best of both areas. And with Carpinteria just a few minutes south and Montecito just north, you can easily enjoy those towns as well. My home has a lot of deck space, including a sofa under a covered patio perfect for a quick nap. While we do get the marine layer some days, on a clear day you can see the details of the Channel Islands. If you wake up to a foggy morning, it doesn't mean that it is also foggy in Santa Barbara. There is generally somewhere nearby where a beach day awaits. The bedrooms are airy and pleasant. Each has a desk and a chair in case you or someone in your party is having a working vacation. The bathroom features some of the sea glass that I have collected over the years which has been incorporated into the shower. In the kitchen you will find most of the utensils that you will need. If there is something missing that would enhance your stay, let me know. I was a restaurant/bakery owner for thirty years and probably have it! And if I do, I am happy to make it available for your use. Almost directly in front of the house is a trail that leads to the center of our little hamlet where you will find antique stores, boutiques, and cafes. In my kitchen are four thermal mugs from the local gas station/market called The Point. If you don't feel like making coffee, take the trail down to The Point with the mug. Their coffee is organic and ground with each cup, and only 99 cents if you use the mug! It's delicious! I like to take the path down, fill up my mug, and walk the two minutes to Lookout Park. There I sip my coffee while I sit on a bench and look for dolphins! Guest access The gardens have some uneven pavers so please be careful if you walk through them. The very back garden, the one that is directly next to the back walkway, is where I do most of my gardening. That area is off limits. You might see me gardening back there. I occasionally need something from the shed but try to plan ahead. My apartment is at the end of the driveway, and of course that is off limits to the guests. I also reserve the right to water the gardens as needed and when convenient. Other things to note Unless previously arranged with the host, the only guests allowed on the property are those who are registered as guests. Please remember that my living quarters are also on this property. This is home for me and all plants and trees have cost me time, money and labor. As such, please don’t pick any fruits or veggies you might see growing. However feel free to ask. Lemons, limes, oregano, parsley, and mint are sometimes abundant.
