Ocean View Superb Home Summerland Lillie by the Sea

Located in idyllic Summerland, a classic California beach town that is just south of Santa Barbara. The home is a 5-minute walk from cozy cafes, restaurants, coffee shops, a wine-tasting bar and several retailers. The closest beach is only a 10-minute walk away, accessed via Lookout Park, which has children's playground and a paved trail leading down the bluff to the long and wide white-sand beach.

The front deck has a Bistro table and chairs, providing an unobstructed view of the ocean and its perfect sunsets. Entering into the home, leads you to a fun beach vibe interior with gorgeous wood floors, crisp white walls, and a cozy modern décor. The living room has a giant curved glass window that looks out to the Pacific Ocean. Relax on the sectional sofa while enjoying time with friends, or turn on the large flat-screen TV and curl up to watch a movie. If you feel like taking a break from the world-class cuisine that the neighboring towns of Santa Barbara and Montecito have to offer, utilize the fully-equipped and completely remodeled kitchen. There is a dining table inside that seats 6. There is also an outdoor table for six on the back deck that is accessed through the kitchen's French doors.

A chef's gas BBQ can help bring an essential flame-broiled flavor to every meal. In the mornings, you can grab your cup of Joe from the Keurig coffee maker before you head out for a fun day of activities. At the end of your day, you may want to enjoy a glass of wine or a cocktail by the outdoor gas fire pit with a built-in wrap-around bench. Both bedrooms, and the master bathroom, have modern ceiling fans to help keep the in-room climate to your liking. There is a private deck off the second bedroom for another view of the gleaming ocean. Both bedrooms have flat-panel TVs, and the Master bath has a large and welcoming newly remodeled walk-in tile shower.

The house is charming and well maintained. We enjoyed walking through Summerland and checking out the shops. Our two complaints are very low hot water pressure in the smaller bathroom sink and not being able to run the dishwasher successfully. Written instructions on how it works would be very helpful.

Great Stay!

We loved our 3-day stay in this charming, clean, comfortable little cottage. The layout, location and amenities were perfect for our family of four, including two college-age kids. Summerland is a cute town with a number of upscale shops, and a few restaurants, and it’s an easy drive to surfing spots, Montecito and Santa Barbara. The only drawback - as mentioned by other reviewers - is the location on a frontage road adjacent to 101 - so there is definitely significant highway noise. We had one minor maintenance issue and the property manager came out to fix it right away, even on a Saturday. Overall, it was a great base for getting out and enjoying all the area has to offer.

Summerland cottage

The cottage is comfortable, clean and quaint. It's a great location for visiting the surrounding areas and a lovely view of the ocean from the front living area. We found the beds comfortable and the cottage is nicely decorated, with a vintage, beach vibe. Unfortunately for us, however, the noise from the freeway did inhibit our enjoyment of the cottage, especially at night.The listing does make reference to the noise from traffic but it was just a bit too consistently noisy for us.A second white noise machine for the back bedroom may have been helpful for sleeping. Unfortunately we also had early noise disturbances from construction on the street outside on one of the days so had to move our car the previous night so that the trucks could park during the day. The garden is a lovely space with a fire pit but we were not inclined to use it.This is a tough review to make as the cottage itself is great but for our noise sensitive family it wasn't quite as relaxing as we would have liked.

Sweet cottage with great views, beautifully decorated. Very comfortable. close to nice shops. There was one issue but the company was very responsive. The only suggestion I would make is to have some light at the bottom of the steps: its very hard to see and a bit dangerous at night.

Beautiful location!!!!

Wonderful location for a retreat in Santa Barbara. The location was on the bus line so we took the bus to and from the Carrillo Plaza in Santa Barbara. Conveniently located between 2 areas of restaurants and within walking distance to a coffee shop and park overlooking the ocean, our group of 2 couples had a marvelous time. The place was super clean with a fully stocked kitchen and there was plenty of space inside and outside for us to socialize. There is noise from the 101 but the sound machines provided adequately blocked it out and we slept great! Recommend highly.

My mom, sister, and I had a great visit at Lillie by the Sea! The house was clean and comfortable and the ocean view was quite nice! The location is good - within walking distance to stores and restaurants in Summerland and an easy drive to Santa Barbara. The backyard is nice and we enjoyed the fire pit as well. They do mention this, but note it is close to the 101 so there is some traffic noise. The sound machine they put in the front bedroom is helpful. We definitely enjoyed our stay!

Excellent stay in Summerland

Our family of four really enjoyed our stay over the 4th of July long weekend as the property is located in an easily accessible area with plenty of on street parking. Enjoyed the front and back sitting areas, kitchen, and all of the beach supplies for our daily outings. Close to Santa Barbara, Montecito, and walking distance to local cafe and restaurants. Ample space for 4 with 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. Family would stay again and will recommend to others.

Cute property, good location

We enjoyed our time in Summerland. The listing was as described. The road noise is there but the sound machines help at night. A couple cobwebs in the kitchen that could be cleaned up. We suspect there might have been a cat in or around the house. 2 of us are allergic and our allergies were acting up. A cat did sit by the outside door and cry one night. If the house has had pets inside, I would disclose that. Other than that,We had a great time

Perfect spot

It was a great spot to stay for a wedding we were attending in Montecito. The backyard was fantastic and gave us the extra space to spread out and get away from each other. Quick walk to coffee, breakfast, and shops. None of us noticed unreasonable noise from the highway. One day the highway and Lillie Ave were backed up all day due to emergency construction further up the 101. We just watched the traffic all day, walked for food, and made it out just after everything cleared to get to the wedding. It’s a cute and convenient spot and the house had everything we needed. It’s not a huge place but it’s very comfortable, even for 6 adults.
