A Gem!
A great location, great view, and a perfect spot to stay in when visiting the Santa Barbara area. Some really great restaurants, shops and a beach all within walking distance. The unit was stocked with just about everything you could need and the host was extremely friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

Summerland Great Location
Stayed here two nights: it has a wonderful aura. Everything I needed was thoughtfully provided: good coffee, soft drinks, snacks. Enjoyed the deck in the afternoon sun. I loved being walking distance to restaurants and shopping— saw the Dodgers win the first night of the World Series at the Nugget, breakfast at the Summerland Beach Cafe… I felt like I was part of a friendly, delightful neighborhood!

Perfect for Santa Barbara get away!
This cottage is lovely! It's located walking distance to restaurants and the beach and only 5-10 minutes from downtown Santa Barbara. The space is large, with a very comfortable bed. The owners make you feel very welcome with a generous basket of snacks and a variety of beverages in the fridge. I would definitely stay here again!!

Cozy retreat
Cozy place to stay. Close to many amenities. Perfect for a quick getaway (and not a problem with a pet!). D'Arcy is very communicative. I loved the binder which listed restaurants, hiking trails, and places to visit both locally and in Santa Barbara. There are thoughtful touches. We would love to come back again!

Fantastic place and convenient location
The place was extremely clean, convenient, and perfect for a weekend in Santa Barbara! Its a 10min drive from the Amtrak station which makes for an excellent home base for anything you may want to do around the area. Aside from the great quiet location, its also an incredibly cute guest house with a kind a helpful host. Highly recommend and would gladly stay again myself!

Beach Retreat
A very clean, comfortable, peaceful and pretty quiet (except for a little 101noise, which didn’t bother me, I’m from L A) also thoughtful and useful extras everywhere. There was a trail two doors down that was great that took you on a loop with a fairly good incline to a beautiful meadow with wild flowers and gorgeous views I’d say the loop was just over a mile, perfect for me and my dog, we hiked it 4 times and never saw a soul, we loved it. Thank you D’arcy and Mark

This was our second stay here. It is close to the beach. Our dog loves it. Only downside is some traffic noise, but we think the trade off of being blocks from the beach is well worth it.

Great place to stay especially if you have dogs. Host was awesome, beach where we took our dogs and Summerland was a great little place. Such a peaceful getaway and views of ocean were definitely real. Place was also very clean and comfortable.

Unbeatable location in Summerland
I book A LOT of VRBOs and D’Arcy and her rental just knock it out of the park. A prime location, it does not suck looking out the windows and seeing the ocean from your bedroom. The rental is very easy to find, walking distance to everything Summerland has to offer and a short drive from Santa Barbara. The unit was absolutely spotless and I so appreciate all the small touches (snacks, drinks, even treats for the doggos). D’Arcy thinks of everything. It makes all the difference. You’re going to catch some slight traffic noise from the freeway, but the unit is very private and it shouldn’t disturb your sleep. Our first time in Summerland, we look forward to returning and staying with D’Arcy. 10/10. Would recommend!

Tho property has everything you need! Very cozy and quaint. The area is an old town feel with mom and pop shops and restaurants. The owners have a binder with all the info you need including descriptive directions for numerous hikes nearby. Very thoughtful owners who left a card and little gift to celebrate my birthday. We will definitely be returning! Perfect for an adult weekend getaway.

Perfect weekend get away!
What a wonderfully special place to visit and stay at Amor Fati! The studio is so cozy and comfortable with a beautiful view of the ocean off the balcony. Walking distance to the adorable Main Street of Summerland with great shops and restaurants and a short drive to scenic Santa Barbara. The hosts D’Arcy and Mark thought of everything! There were snacks, treats for humans and fur children and everything you might need in the quaint studio. Communication was excellent and a special gift for my husband and I since we were celebrating our 10 year anniversary ❤️. Top notch and can’t wait to visit again!

Great long-weekend getaway
Really love the location of this property. Easy walk to beach, restaurants, shops, etc. And the trail that goes all the way around Summerland, provided in the Information book, was so nice. Great way to see the whole town. I didn't bring my bike on this trip but will when I come back. So many cyclists roll through here and I understand why. Roads are nice, rolling hills, and smooth. Nearby trails for hiking and easy to get to neighboring towns of Santa Barbara and Ventura, if you are looking for even more to do. There is some noise from the freeway, especially right now with work that's being done on this stretch of highway, but host has a noise machine that allowed me to sleep quite well and drown most of that out. I brought my dog with me and was pleased with all the places I could take her. Summerland Cafe was expecially accommodating. Best part of the day is late afternoon, sitting on the balcony, looking at the ocean, with a glass of Summerland wine.

Cute place nicely decorated
Not the hosts fault but it was really noisy! Just be sure and turn the air on . They also have a be noise cancelling machine . I thought that was very thoughtful. In order to keep water in the tub they had a weird set of shower curtains set up which I didn’t like. It wasn’t possible to take a bath? Anyway a fun area to explore and a cute place to stay!
