About the property

Primary renter must be 25 years of age (proof of age required).

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 Summerland 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 a children’s playground and a paved trail leading down the bluff to the long and wide white-sand beach.
  
The front deck features a bistro table and chairs, offering a view of the ocean and its stunning sunsets.  Entering the home leads you to a fun beach vibe interior with gorgeous wood floors, crisp white walls, and 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, accessible 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. 

Special Features of the home: Back patio with gas fire pit and gas grill -  Front porch with ocean views - 3 Flat Screen TV'S - 2 Showers and one Tub, 1 Outdoor Shower  - Free high-speed WiFi - Cable TV - Washer & Dryer -  Refrigerator with ice maker - Fully Equipped Kitchen -  Beach Chairs and Umbrella  - Street Parking - Near Summerland Cafe's and Shops - Minutes away from Santa Barbara, Lower Village, Montecito & Carpinteria.

Nearby Beaches: Lookout Park Beach 0.5 miles (walking distance) - Loon Point Beach Trail 1.0 mile (Pro Tip! This is practically a secret gem, Shhhh... don't tell anyone!) - Padaro Beach 2.7 miles (limited parking and you walk over railroad tracks so be alert, watch the kids and get here early for a good parking space) - Carpinteria State Beach 5.7 miles (Known as the worlds safest beach) - Butterfly Beach 3.0 miles(limited parking  but worth it for the views.) And, of course, one of the best surf beaches on earth, Rincon, is only 9 miles to the South.  

Nearby Sites to Explore: Downtown Carpinteria (breweries, restaurants, shops, cafes) - Lower Village in Montecito (Cafe, bars, shops, restaurants, wineries) - State Street Santa Barbara (shops, restaurants, bars, museums & theaters, wharf & beach ) - Funk Zone Santa Barbara (wineries, restaurants.)

This was just what we needed for a quick little getaway! The place was exactly as described, and honestly, even a little bit more. Not a huge place, but plenty of room for the 4 of us - we especially loved the outdoor space! Close enough to Montesito and Santa Barbara for days out, but we loved the firepit in the backyard for a night in! Would absolutely recommend and would stay again!

We had a wonderful stay here and would absolutely come back. Everything felt thoughtfully prepared. The home was spotless, beautifully organized, and clearly well cared for, which made it easy to settle in and relax right away. We especially appreciated how simple and stress-free checkout was. It was refreshing not to have a long list of chores to take care of before leaving. The host was exceptional throughout our stay. Communication was clear, timely, and genuinely helpful, and it was obvious they cared about making sure we had everything we needed. One of our favorite parts of the trip was spending time in the backyard. Making s’mores with our kids by the fire pit turned into such a special and memorable experience for our family. Overall, this place strikes a perfect balance between comfort, convenience, and charm. We truly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-hosted getaway.

?????????? We had the most amazing stay at this beautiful Summerland beachfront Airbnb! It truly felt like a little oasis — peaceful, cozy, and right on the water with the most incredible views. The space was spotless, thoughtfully decorated, and had the perfect “slumber party sleepover” energy that made our birthday getaway weekend feel extra special and fun. We also loved how walkable everything was! The cute downtown shops were such a highlight — especially Bikini Factory for the best beachy finds. And Nugget Restaurant Bar & Grill was a must — amazing potato skins, strong drinks, and such a fun local vibe. It made the whole trip feel like the perfect mix of relaxing and exploring. The house was also fully equipped for the perfect beach day — with great umbrellas, plenty of towels, and everything we needed to relax comfortably by the ocean. Summerland Beach itself was absolutely stunning: clean, peaceful, and such a beautiful spot to spend the day soaking up the sun and views. It

This was one of the sweetest, comfy places I’ve stayed in to date. The beds were so comfortable… and it has everything you need to head to the beach. Having said that… you have to know that it is located literally across the street from the freeway and on an Amtrak line. If you are a light sleeper or have an aversion to traffic noise, this might not be the place for you. I was able to white out the noise at night with a fan and I got used to the background noise while sitting in the backyard. The plus’s definitely outweigh the noise aspect, however. Summerland is an adorable village with so much within walking distance. The produce stand is amazing (and is a wonderful nonprofit feeding hungry families in the area)!! I would definitely stay there again.

This was an awesome stay! The house was beautiful and the yard was gorgeous with so many beautiful plants . My kids loved running around the yard and felt right at home. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. It’s in a walkable place, we walked to a park and a nice restaurant for breakfast. And there were a lot of really nice places a short drive in the car we were able to visit. Only downs sides were - the from room is very loud. At night it was difficult to sleep for me but the kids had no issues falling asleep with the sound machine. The back room is darker and quieter. The front door also has some issues with the locking mechanism. Every time we left we struggled with the lock and the door. Minor things compared to all the fun we had!

Loved this little beach house. Well equipped kitchen! Nice backyard patio, bbq, fire pit area. Only real complaint is the freeway noise. If you sleep in the front bedroom you will hear it but it becomes like white noice after just a night or two. The train is also a shock but it only comes through town a couple times a day. Had a great stay here and would book again.

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.

Lillie by the Sea was an adorable beach cottage! It was perfect for our family of four. Everything was very clean, well maintained, and so comfortable. The view was fabulous and the freeway/train noise wasn’t a big deal with a sound machine and ear plugs. There were plenty of places within walking distance of the house to eat, shop, or explore. We didn’t make it to the beach because it was a bit too chilly, but it looked like Spencer provided everything you could need: towels, chairs and an umbrella. Thank you, we would definitely stay here again.

Great place for several reasons. The amenities were great and we enjoyed the backyard with the fire pit- so nice! Being super close to the highway is a bit of a bummer, but you know what to expect as they list this fact. It’s incredibly dark at night, (great for seeing the stars) however the limited lights round the walkway and stairs made me nervous, especially when my 70 yro mother stayed for part of our trip. There is no railing on the outermost steps up to the unit from the street, so I had to make sure to always be there to lend a hand for her. We used the lights on our phones to manage as well. Otherwise, place as great and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

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 friends and I had an absolutely wonderful time at this Airbnb. I felt like I was in a dream as I walked in and saw the space. It is beautiful, thoughtfully decorated and there are loads of wonderful little touches, like a postcard designed by a local artist with a stamp already on it. The beds are unbelievably comfortable, as are the pillows. And while there is noise from the highway and occasional train, it truly wasn’t that bad and didn’t distract from the stay at all. We are already planning to make this an annual trip and come back again next year. Thank you, Spencer!

The only hassle was the “on-boarding” required by the rental company. Maybe(?) this is true of all California Airbnbs? Took more effort than I would have wished for. BUT the place is great. Yes, the highway is right there, but it’s easy to ignore when looking at the view of the ocean and the Channel Islands. Even while sleeping the “noise” was easy to not notice.

This really was an ideal rental for us, a charming cottage in the heart of the Santa Barbara/Montecito area. It was the perfect place for a relaxing, five-day get-away with my mother and sisters. My mother, a gardener, really enjoyed the lush California plantings surrounding the house. We all loved having easy access to local restaurants, quaint shops and countless other attractions. It was a great time!

Perfect spot

5 of 5

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.

Overall, a lovely and comfortable house. The outdoor spaces are incredible and the inside is very well decorated. We brought my older parents to the area and they were super comfortable. The bathrooms (and water pressure) were great and the bedrooms got incredibly dark. We did not have any major noise issues either. It is definitely an older house so can smell a little musty and the primary bedroom door did not fully shut, but beyond that no complaints!

Beautiful little house in a perfect location. Easy to find and great location for exploring Santa Barbara and surrounding area. The house was exceptionally clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need. They had thought of everything! We are a family of 4 adults and there was ample space. Beds were extremally comfy too!! Summerland itself is a quant little village with unique shops and eateries. we can highly recommend Summerland Beach Café for breakfast. Hosts communication was excellent. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this little house.

The Lillie Avenue cottage is what you imagine when you think of classic Summerland and Santa Barbara: it’s exactly as listed in the pictures and has tons of beautiful outdoor spaces, it has an astonishing view of the ocean. It’s an easy walk to all of the shops in Summerland, down to Overlook park, and it’s a quick drive to Montecito and Santa Barbara. The cottage is spacious, has everything you need to cook/grill or just hang out, and is super comfortable. It is very near the 101 but if it’s only really noticeable if you’re sitting on the front porch—and most importantly, the entire house and yard, especially the backyard, is private and serene. And Spencer and his team are very communicative and helpful. We hope to stay here again!

Summerland is a great location with access to the beach, several restaurants, and great home and garden design stores. With parking available directly in front of the house, getting to other destinations like Montecito, Santa Barbara, and Ojai is easy. You need to know that this location does directly front the frontage road to the freeway. We did not find the freeway noise to be a problem, but guests should be aware of this before booking. The home was super cute, comfortable, clean, functional, and stylish.

Summerland Quaint Cottage

5 of 5

Lillies by the Sea was a nice getaway for us. When sitting in the living room or dining room you have a beautiful view of palm trees and the ocean. It is right next to Highway 101 and the Amtrak train line so there is noise, and while we were there construction on 101 was happening during the night. The back bedroom is very quiet, the front one gets the noise. There is a really nice grill and outdoor fire pit in the backyard that were easy to use. Lots of shops and a couple of restaurant were in walking distance. Has very easy access to the freeway both North and South Bound.

We had a wonderful few days in this beautiful and full of character cottage. The location is excellent - walking distance to great coffee, local boutiques and the beach. The house was cosy, spotlessly clean and included everything we needed for our stay. The deck, well maintained garden and outdoor shower made enjoying the sunshine easy. The freeway and railway are audible - if you are a very light sleeper, bring earplugs! It didn't bother us at all though, and the appointment of the house gives an uninterrupted view of the ocean. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous views and lovely house! The highlights were seeing dolphins from the living room on our first morning, and seeing the sunset every day. (Yes, the freeway is in front of the house but it really doesn’t detract from the view too much.) The furniture was beautiful and comfy, and the kitchen was large and had enough supplies for making a small Thanksgiving dinner. The walk to the beach is short and easy. I can imagine the location would be even more amazing for a summer beach trip!

You are in walking distance of the beach, coffee shop, local produce/goodies, eateries and more. Breakfast at Summerland Beach Café was delicious. Coffee at Red Kettle was delightful. You are located right next the freeway and train tracks, but that didn't make the stay any less incredible. I like to think of it as white noise for bedtime. I look forward to visiting Lillie By The Sea in the future.

My wife, two children and I had a lovely time at Lillie By The Sea. The house was comfy, well appointed and clean. The backyard was perfect for dinner. Anyone renting in Summerland has to keep in mind can be noisy due to the proximity to the 101. This pertains to most of Summerland and is not specific to this house. Having said this, the road noise was negligible and not obtrusive from the back / main bedroom and not noticeable when the front door was closed. The location is great if you want to walk anywhere in town. Field + Fort is just a block south and the main part of town is a few blocks north making it easy to shop at the housewares stores and get a cup of coffee in the morning. The beach is about a 15 minute walk or a 3 minute drive.

Beautifully appointed home with amazingly comfortable beds, and ample outdoor spaces to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather. Though the home is geographically close to the water, and you do have water views from the porch, the beach is not accessible from the home due to Rt 101 and, currently, construction. You can take a short walk to Summerland to get beach access, which is lovely a lovely walk. As a cook, I especially loved the well appointed kitchen and excellent stove and outdoor grill. Top notch appliances as well.

Lillie by the Sea was adorable. It is close to stores, coffee shops, and restaurants in Summerland. The beach was a short 5 minute walk down the road and easy 20 minutes to Santa Barbara airport. The house was well stocked with toiletries, other miscellaneous kitchen supplies, beach chairs, umbrella and towels.The back patio is comfortable and quiet with a gas fireplace to relax. The only thing to be aware of is traffic noise if sitting outside. No issues sleeping if white noise is turned on in the house from road noise. Great place to stay with location!

Lillie by the Sea is wonderful spot. A charming little "beach" cottage with its Victorian architecture, lush vegetation front and back, and comfortable furniture inside and out. The location has pros and cons. Pro is the ocean view and walkability to the "town" of Summerland with its shops and few eateries. The con is the nearness to the 101 freeway with its never-ending noise. It's not terrible by any means and basically becomes white noise during the day, but at night (especially when foggy) it seems to become a bit amplified and big trucks can actually rattle the house. The host was very responsive. We had a problem when we arrived that we couldn't unlock the back door to the awesome patio. It was just because the structure is old and the lock gets stuck. But we called on a Sat. evening and left a voicemail; by Sunday morning a maintenance man came and showed us how to unlock it. Hint: lift hard on the door knob while turning the bolt lock. All in all, the pros far outweigh the traffic noise. Really loved our week there!

Comfortable Family Stay

5 of 5

The house was perfect for my husband, myself and our 2 adult children (who were willing to share a bedroom). The backyard patio is great for eating, grilling and relaxing and we enjoyed the fire pit at night. The inside space allowed plenty of room for each of us to carve out a spot. Beds were comfortable. The master bathroom does have a glass door that leads to a side porch. There is no window dressing on that side door so anyone walking by on the porch can see directly into the bathroom. This could easily be fixed. The view of the ocean from the house is beautiful. The noise of the road makes sitting on the front porch less pleasant and can be heard from the second bedroom but this is true of most houses in the area I'm sure. The walk to the beach was about 15 minutes through the tiny town. We enjoyed that but be aware there is no direct access to the beach from the rental. We would definitely rent this house again.

Some reviews mention the road noise... it's there, but if you live in a city you probably won't even notice it (we didn't) when inside or in the backyard. The front porch, however, gets loud enough that you have to talk over the road noise. We would definitely stay here again.

Moreover the beach is walking distance trough a beautiful town of Summerland, just as nice cafes, restaurants and shops. Gorgeous views. Comfortable beds and furniture. Really nice amenities such as outdoor fire pit, grill, and nice lounge. Just 10 min drive to Santa Barbara. I mean this place is just a diamond by the sea for the money.

Wonderful home, beautifully decorated, clean and well appointed. Management company was very responsive: oven wasnt working, Nick came over on a Sat. night to check it out. When it couldnt be easily fixed, they offered to buy a cake for us! (We were going to bake a birthday cake) Rear outdoor patio is heaven with firepit, terrific gas grill and huge table. Its where we spent most of our time! Only downside is the location-lots of highway, road and train noise. But this sweet spot makes it worth it. Would return again!

Charming coastal cottage with great attention to detail. This cottage was a lucky find for our family of five, while we had a sports tournament 1.5 miles down the road. Lots of great details from beach chairs, beach towels, umbrella to beautiful bed linens and a fun patio and fire pit out back. There was thoughtful beach themed artwork throughout, and the furniture and rugs were updated and fresh. We enjoyed amazing sunsets from the front porch and had a great place to relax after a long day on the playing fields. One room has 2 full sized beds, and we added a twin air mattress on the floor so that all 3 leggy teenagers could spread out a bit more, and that worked well. It is also nice being able to do some laundry and cook some meals while away from home. It was noted in other reviews, so we were prepared, but the street runs parallel to Hwy 101 and the noise is constant. Summerland has a quaint little downtown, and it is a great starting spot for exploring the greater Santa Barbara area.

Very cute house with close proximity to a beautiful beach. Only complaint was the highway noise that made enjoying the outside difficult.

Great house!

This is the cutest house. It was perfect for my friends and I to stay in for the weekend while we attended a wedding in Santa Barbara. It was only about a 13-minute drive to downtown Santa Barbara, which was perfect. The house was very comfortable, cute and cozy. The backyard was so nice to hang out in. The only thing it needed was a few more things stocked up: a sponge to wash dishes, laundry soap, cooking oil. Other than that, it was so great! would definitely stay here again.

Charming House

5 of 5

The house is definitely your home away from home. There are a few restaurants, a coffee shop, and a winery just down the street. It’s just a short walk to the beach. The proximity to the highway and train create some noise, but it does settle down at night and is tolerable. Overall, staying at Lillie by the Sea was a good experience.

Lillie by the Sea was bright, cozy and close enough to where we wanted to be, but far enough away to feel like a retreat. Different sorts of spaces (comfortable living room, fire pit in a backyard surrounded by trees, front porch overlooking the ocean) made it ideal for my group of 5 to have a great time together, while at the same time finding opportunities to separate when needing time alone. Would definitely recommend.

Lillie by the Sea was a great rental for my family. Loved the beachy feel of the house & the outdoor living spaces made it feel much larger. The location was great for walking to coffee/food & driving to nearby beaches or into SB. It is on a street that's parallel to 101, but the traffic noise never bothered us, nor the train that runs occasionally. The kitchen was well-stocked, but bring your coffee pods if you want to use the Keurig. Beach towels & chairs were a bonus! FYI...There is a studio in the back yard, behind a fence that was occupied. Was all good, but there is a window that opens to the back yard. Would definitely stay again!

A wonderful getaway

5 of 5

This is a beautiful home with lots of charm, a few quirks that are to be expected for a home built in the late 1800's. You can relax in the lounge chairs in the back yard with the rear french doors open and see the ocean and feel the cool breeze. If you're unaccustomed to freeway noise in the evening, everyone in our group of 6 recommends ear plugs for the freeway noise. This did not take away from our overall experience and we loved our time staying in this location.

This is a beautiful, Victorian home with a great location near everything we wanted to visit. It was a nice walk down to breakfast. There are some quirks in any older home and the traffic noise is an issue, but they have done an incredible job updating everything is this cool and beautiful house. It feels very homey and we weren't missing anything. All of the appliances are brand new and high quality.

What a great little cottage just minutes to Santa Barbara. We loved this location because it gave us an opportunity to see Summerland, Carpentria and Montecito that we wouldn’t have explored had we been staying in Santa Barbara

Amazing place. They did a great job of adding some nice touches to the house. Sleeps 6 people very comfortably. Everything within the house is extremely up to date. Kitchen has all brand new appliances, TVs, and washer dryer. There is some road noise but nothing that would stop me from coming back. The backyard is amazing with the fire pit, grill and seating. The management was excellent and on top of all communications. We will be back.

Adorable, stylish cottage walking distance to shops, a cafe, and a hiking trail. We enjoyed both the front porch overlooking the ocean and the back patio with gas firepit. The beds were comfortable and it was convenient to find a 2 bedroom rental with enough beds for 6 adults. Renters who seek a quiet sleeping environment at night should seek out a home further into the hills. This home is right off the highway and the constant rush of traffic will lull you to sleep at night. None of us had an issue with it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our one week stay in this lovely remodeled home. Very comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, everything very new. The backyard gardens with a terrific BBQ and fire pit are a delight. Only negative was the freeway noise for the front bedroom. The back bedroom (master) is fine. We will most likely book again next year.

Beautifully decorated home that is comfortable and very well stocked (kitchen/pillows/blankets). We really enjoyed the ocean view and the kitchen in particular. A little noisy because it is by the highway, but it wasn't overly inconvenient. A great place to retreat to and enjoy.

Great spot. Super thoughtful details throughout the house. Fire pit and gas grill were perfect. Easily walkable to Summerland and a quick drive to surrounding towns. Only thing to note that you’re close to highway and tracks so a bit noisy at times. Would still recommend despite that.

Super Duper! So happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. We hope you enjoyed the festive holiday lights we hung out on the front deck.

This was a very cute house and space! The noise from the road can only be heard from the front bedroom, so if you are a light sleeper, take the big bedroom. other than that we really enjoyed our time here. The ocean view is great and walkable to local cafes. Downtown Santa Barbra is about a 12 min Uber/Lyft ride away and vineyards will take you an hour (which is not that bad). The house was cozy and clean. Thanks for the great stay!

his rental just came on the market so we thought we would check it out. What a great experience. The house is a short walk from great restaurants and a wine bar. And we were on a beautiful white sand and long/wide beach with just a 10-minute walk from the house. My boyfriend surfs, and said Rincon was going off -- head-high a-frame waves (whatever that means.) We enjoyed the ocean view from the front deck, and each night there was a postcard perfect sunset on the water. Everything in the house seems new. New furnishings, new beds, new TVs, new kitchen, etc. The back decks are awesome. Steamer chairs for relaxing. Great BBQ with outdoor table. There is a gas firepit which was lovely when the temperature dropped to around 60 degrees. We loved it all!

Wonderful but consider the highway noise. We stayed four nights and loved everything about the house itself – beautifully renovated interior, thoughtful and complete amenities, everything you want in the kitchen, clean. The only issue we had was the constant noise from the 101 highway that's steps away. Spencer did warn us about it but it was more of an issue for us than we expected, especially during the night when we couldn't open the windows because of the noise and even with them all shut, it was still a disturbance. If you aren't bother by this type of thing, absolutely book this place - you'll love it!

Julia, Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We are having new dual pane windows installed, we've already measured for them and they should be in place probably by the end of the month or sometime in October. We know this will cut down on a lot of the outside ambience noise significantly. We are also looking forward to a planned project by the California Highway Department. They will be putting in rubberized asphalt along the entire stretch of the 101 freeway between Carpinteria and Santa Barbara. I've personally driven over this type of rubberized asphalt and am amazed at how quiet the car tires are on it compared to regular asphalt.
