Golden Hour | Historic Ocean-View Farmhouse

Summary:
An 1895 farmhouse in Summerland, one of the town's original homes, with ocean and Channel Island views from nearly every room. Lillie Avenue's antique shops, restaurants, and winery tasting room are a block and a half away, and the deck has a Traeger grill, a fire pit, and an in-ground spa. Three en-suite bedrooms sleep eight.

The Space:
Three bedrooms, three and a half baths, sleeps eight.

The open living space keeps the craftsmanship of the original house, with rustic wood beams, hickory floors, restored original windows, a stone fireplace, and a shiplap wall. The deck and the ocean view are the main event.

The primary bedroom is on the main level with an en-suite bath. Downstairs are a media room, a bunk room with two sets of built-in twin bunks, and a queen bedroom. Both downstairs bedrooms have en-suite baths and ocean views.

Outside, the large deck holds an outdoor dining table, a Traeger grill, a fire pit, and an in-ground spa. The yard has custom stonework, iron gates, palms, and a redwood believed to be original to the property.

Wi-Fi, a dedicated workspace, a washer and dryer, and street parking are included. Bedrooms are on two levels, with stairs between them.

- Managed by Wanderlust Luxury Rentals -

The Neighborhood:
Summerland is a small hillside town between Montecito and Carpinteria, known for its antique shops, casual restaurants, and easy pace. Golden Hour is a block and a half from Lillie Avenue, the town's main street, with the Summerland Winery tasting room, home stores, and local restaurants close by.

Lookout Park and its path to Summerland Beach are a short walk away. Like every home in Summerland, the house sits near the 101, so expect some freeway sound. Montecito is about 10 minutes away and downtown Santa Barbara about 15.

Getting Around:
You can manage without a car here, though one makes Montecito and Santa Barbara easy. Street parking is available.

Approximate drive times unless noted:
Lillie Avenue: 2-minute walk
Lookout Park and Summerland Beach: 5-minute walk
Montecito's Coast Village Road: 10 minutes
Butterfly Beach and Miramar Beach: 10 minutes
Padaro Beach: 10 minutes
Carpinteria: 15 minutes
Downtown Santa Barbara: 15 minutes
Santa Barbara Airport (SBA): about 25 minutes
LAX: about 2 hours

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.

This was a great house for our friend's weekend. It was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Check in and check out were hassle-free. Communications were easy as I was booking. It was accessible to ride-share services and also had a driveway to park. We would have needed a full week to fully enjoy all of the lovely social spaces in and outside of the house.

We loved our stay in this beautiful home! It has been very thoughtfully renovated and includes so many beautiful decorative details. The layout was great for our family, with all the teenagers in the bedrooms downstairs and their own common room and tv. We spent several long afternoons all together, reading, napping, playing games, and watching movies in the upstairs great room and out on the balcony and a couple evenings roasting marshmallows by the fire pit. Proximity to town is excellent and we walked over for pizza and for brunch. The Wanderlust staff was helpful and responsive. Our only disappointment was in discovering that the beach we could walk to wasn’t one our kids could spend the day at - the sand has tar in it that covered the bottoms of our feet and was difficult to scrub off. We wound up making the short drive to Carpinteria for days on the sand. All in all though, a lovely stay!

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 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.
