Heaven

The Double Dolphin is absolutely my favorite place to stay when coming to Southern California! It has all the amenities we need and is always clean and fresh, yet so welcoming and homey! My absolute favorite place to be is in the living room on one of the reclining chairs, looking out at the ocean while the sun comes up - for me, absolute heaven!

Perfect choice for a cozy getaway.

All listing information was accurate and the atmosphere was wonderful - both within the rental and the beach-side community where it is located. It's only a short walk away from the beach or good food. Would easily recommend.

Summerland vacation

Summerland home was very comfortable and pleasant. The ocean view from the livingroom was great. The home was clean. There were not enough drinking glasses so we had to keep washing them by hand and it was disappointing that the television was not a smart TV. When we relaxed at night direct TV provided few movies and those with interruption by commerials. Good place to stay due to it's location near Santa Barbara.

I loved staying here, a great space with everything I needed and a welcoming place to relax and retreat. Close to lots of great restaurants and places to visit in SB area, and if you want to stay at home base, a wonderful place to just relax. I was on a work/play trip. Perfect for both. Will stay again!

Amazing place, wonderful hosts

Where to begin? We had a great time at this beautiful house for so many reasons: The hosts have been very kind regarding a change we had to make to our booking and were very accommodating. The house is in a great location and besides the ocean view you are at the parking lot in 10 minutes or less and you can walk from there to downtown. The house is very clean and has some very nice aspects including super comfy recliner chairs. Everything was as the ad says and we are so grateful for our time there.

Cute, Private, Comfy - Great Hosts

We needed a quiet get away during a stressful time for our family. This unit was perfect, set in the little town of Summerland by the sea. It boasts a partial view of the ocean, comfortable bed, well appointed kitchen and awesome big TVs. The neighborhood is quaint and very quiet as well. Our hosts were practically invisible, allowing us perfect privacy while still being very responsive to any questions we had. Thanks Rick & Debby, it was the perfect stay and just what we needed!

Good location for our purposes. Well equipped kitchen. Comfy beds. No complaints. It is not far from 101, so we were concerned about road noise, but was not an issue either in bedrooms or in the outdoor area. We were out during the day, and the unit was a bit warm when we returned in the evening, but cooled off quickly with open windows and fans.
