We had a great stay with Aidan who was also a responsive and friendly host. The views were lovely, space was clean, and everything we needed was nearby. A group of 8 stayed here with no issues and would recommend for any get togethers!

This place accommodated our needs just fine and the location was for sure the best part. The house itself is nothing fancy & could use some updating. Seemed a little odd to have wires just taped to the floor in the closet and the shower in the master was difficult to turn on. Kitchen could be better stocked if you want to cook in often.

Montecito Vacay

Thoroughly enjoyed our weekend vacation included a Twilight Tour of Lotusland, a breakfast at Stonehouse at San Ysidro Ranch and an exquisite dinner at Caruso’s at Rosewood at Miramar Beach. The Summerland Beach Oasis was an ideal location only a few minutes drive from these Montecito locations. We enjoyed the balcony view of the ocean and antique shopping in the quaint downtown Summerland. Aidan was quick to respond to any questions.

Girls Weekend

We reserved this Airbnb for a girls weekend to celebrate the bride to be! The location and the house was absolutely spacious and perfect! The common areas and bedrooms were clean. However, the bathrooms could have been a little cleaner as one of them had mold in between the tiles on the wall. The owner/property management had good communication skills and the property had a decent amount of parking! The overall stay was amazing with a breathtaking view.

Spring Break Getaway

We had a lovely time staying in Summerland for the kids’ spring break. The town is adorable! Quaint Main Street with shops and restaurants within walking distance (if you can handle the steep incline back home). The firemen at firehouse down there was so adorable. They greeted our kids and gave them toy fire hats and posed for pics with their trucks. I can’t recommend this town enough! The house met our needs just fine. Two adults and 5 kids stayed comfortably. The bedrooms are able size and having two full bathrooms was

Our stay at the Driftwood Club was great. The location was ideal for our stay in the Santa Barbara area. The house was close to restaurants of all types and gave easy access to the highway without the road noise. And the view.... the view from the front balcony was incredible. The accommodations were clean and as advertised. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed for our 3 day stay. The house is older and has it's floor squeaks and slants but that's just character! Our only issue was that the hot water was just warm but with a quick message to our host the problem was identified (Hot water heater was dialed down) and fixed! Thank you for making our stay in the area easy and enjoyable!
