About this property

Golden Hour - Brilliant Ocean Views at this Charming Summerland Farmhouse

Golden Hour - Brilliant Ocean Views at this Charming Summerland Farmhouse

Experience one of the original Summerland homes, built in 1895. Golden Hour exudes Californian charm with ocean views from nearly every room. Although we recommend a car so you can explore Montecito and Santa Barbara, you could get away with not even needing a car during your stay as it is in an ideal location close to downtown Summerland and the beach. Being that you are only a block and half away from Lillie Avenue means that you can walk to the Summerland Winery tasting room, shop at one of the many luxury antique home stores, or enjoy a wonderful meal at one of the local restaurants.

The three bedroom and three and a half bath home boasts and open floor plan living space complete with detailed craftsmanship including rustic wood beams, hickory floors, entry nook, restored original windows, a stone covered fireplace, and shiplap wall with the deck and ocean views as the premier feature. The ample outdoor living space includes a large deck, outdoor dining table, Traeger grill, separate fire pit and in-ground jacuzzi. The primary bedroom is located on the main level with an ensuite bath. Downstairs features a media room, a bedroom with two twin-sized built in bunk beds, and a bedroom with a queen sized bed. Both bedrooms downstairs have ensuite baths and ocean views.

The yard has been beautifully manicured incorporating custom stonework, iron gates, and palms. It is said that massive redwood tree is believed to be original to the property. We hope you can enjoy the Golden Hour at dusk in this historic home.

The Golden Hour was a perfect place to stay for our family (4 adults and 3 kids). The bunk beds were a big hit for our little ones. Closeness (walkable distance) to downtown Summerland was also a big positive. Any questions that arose during our stay were quickly answered. The best recommendation I could give is that we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Awesome Place Great View of the Ocean

We had a wonderful stay in Summerland! The property had a beautiful view of the ocean that made the whole trip feel relaxing. The space was clean, spacious and just what we were looking for. The only small downside was a lack of wash rags, but that didn’t take away from how much we enjoyed our time here. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.

Great Summer Beach House

This was a beautiful property, even better in person. Our family of 6 plus one infant thoroughly enjoyed our weeklong vacation! I would highly recommend the property for a get-away! My favorite feature was the lovely porch swing.

We have rented many, many homes in Santa Barbara over the years and this is our new favorite! This house is beautiful, comfortable, clean and convenient. The little town of Summerland is adorable with easy beach access just a short walk away from the house. We will be back for sure!

Great Location and Quaint Property

Loved this location. Walkable to shopping, restaurants and beach, short drive to Channel Islands National Park and Santa Barbara/Montecito. Very quaint, restored with great detail. We had a lot of rain while visiting, but the home had so many thoughtful amenities, we didn't mind being inside cooking in the well appointed kitchen and by the fire.

Amazing home

We stayed at this beautiful property during the celebration of our daughter’s wedding in Santa Barbara. The pictures do not do it justice! The great room with kitchen and living space is huge and opens up to a large patio. Incredibly clean, well furnished and comfortable! Check in was super easy and the location is within a short walking distance to cute Summerland. Would definitely recommend this property! We didn’t want to leave!
