Lovely and immaculate property, perfect for our weekend sports-parents stay. Really appreciate the extra touches from the hosts: coffee and creamer; snacks; beach towels. Wish we could have stayed longer to explore the adorable neighborhood! Would stay again.

This is a lovely efficiency with a view of the ocean. The porch/deck was great to watch the sunset. It is close to the highway, but the noise from traffic at night, even with the windows open, did not bother us. We slept great, the bed is very comfortable. Great restaurants in walking distance and I absolutely recommend Godmother’s for books! I was very pleased with our stay here and would do it again.

Our stay at the Summerland Guest Studio was perfect. We were there to drop off our daughter at UCSB, and used it as a relaxing home base in between moving her in and shopping for supplies. We walked to breakfast and then down to the gorgeous beach one morning. The neighborhood is quiet and the beds are clean and comfortable! All in all, a great stay!

Perfect CA beach stay

What’s wonderful place for a couple or a family. We travels with our two adult children for a wedding and this was perfect. If you are traveling with little ones, it will be even better. Why pay for the cost of an overpriced hotel when you can stay here.

This place is a hidden gem. It was perfect for our five day stay. We visited Solvang and Santa Barbara. D'Arcy was very friendly and even surprised me with a bottle of wine for my birthday!

We loved D’Arcy’s place in Summerland. We were attending an event in Santa Barbara and the location was perfect. Easy access to SB. We had a great time walking down the street to the Summerland Cafe, Rusty’s Pizza and Lookout Park. My family of 4 fit just right in the apartment. D’Arcy left many great snacks and sent us a few messages with helpful information. We would definitely recommend her place to others.

Our Go-To Place in SB County

We have stayed at D'Arcy's place three times! This time we really enjoyed using the beach chairs and beach towels provided. The wine, sodas, water, and snacks are always a welcome touch. We love walking to Red Kettle Coffee and then the five short minutes to the beach.

Can't beat this location

This was our second time staying at D'Arcy's cottage and likely won't be the last. This visit we took more advantage of Summerland, including hiking the trails, walking the five minutes to the beach daily, enjoying great food, coffee, and wine right in town, and playing the board games provided. Our dog is totally comfortable here too!

Weekend Getaway

We spent an amazing weekend at Amor Fati! The space was fantastic and we loved being able to see (and hear!) the ocean waves. D’arcy and Mark were incredibly thoughtful and accommodating hosts - they thought of everything and more. Location is perfect for a dreamy getaway to Summerland. Looking forward to our next stay!

Lovely cottage

Great location; walking distance to restaurants and the beach. Nice, friendly, and safe neighborhood. Ubering to our concert at Santa Barbara Bowl was easy and convenient. The property was clean and stay hassle free. Amenities were perfect for our needs. Owners were great and communication with them was smooth. I’d stay again and highly recommend.

Beach Retreat

A very clean, comfortable, peaceful and pretty quiet (except for a little 101noise, which didn’t bother me, I’m from L A) also thoughtful and useful extras everywhere. There was a trail two doors down that was great that took you on a loop with a fairly good incline to a beautiful meadow with wild flowers and gorgeous views I’d say the loop was just over a mile, perfect for me and my dog, we hiked it 4 times and never saw a soul, we loved it. Thank you D’arcy and Mark

Perfect, Just What We Needed

It was better than advertised. We felt at home during our short getaway. D'Arcy had thought of everything to enhance our stay from snacks to beach towels. Windows everywhere that allowed the sun to shine in. The location is convenient and Summerland is a beautiful community. We were grateful that parking was on site and that we were guaranteed a spot. There was a convenient green patch along with treats that made our dog, Bella's stay perfect. We strongly recommend this to others. Thanks again!

Unbeatable location in Summerland

I book A LOT of VRBOs and D’Arcy and her rental just knock it out of the park. A prime location, it does not suck looking out the windows and seeing the ocean from your bedroom. The rental is very easy to find, walking distance to everything Summerland has to offer and a short drive from Santa Barbara. The unit was absolutely spotless and I so appreciate all the small touches (snacks, drinks, even treats for the doggos). D’Arcy thinks of everything. It makes all the difference. You’re going to catch some slight traffic noise from the freeway, but the unit is very private and it shouldn’t disturb your sleep. Our first time in Summerland, we look forward to returning and staying with D’Arcy. 10/10. Would recommend!

Beyond Expectations!

My husband and I love this studio by the sea. D’Arcy’s thought of absolutely everything and our stay (our first in the area) couldn’t have been better. From booking, preparing to arrive, then our actual stay, D’Arcy was everything you’d hope for in a host. She gave us extremely helpful information about the area and made sure the unit was fully cleaned and stocked to ensure a wonderful stay, including snacks for our doggie. We really can’t say enough about the unit itself and how hard D’Arcy worked to make sure we had everything we needed. We walked the 2 short blocks to the beach every day (with the beach towels and chairs that came in the unit) and our dog loved to frolic in the sand. We also enjoyed all the restaurants we could walk to. We will absolutely be back to beautiful Summerland; we feel as though we’ve made a new friend in D’Arcy!
