"Jennifer's Cottage Room in Summerland, CA was a cozy little refresher. Trees and vines make for an intimate green space (check out the pictures.) Jennifer's was my getaway from noise, cement and traffic in LA. Great for a single or a couple. Summerland, California is a nice little sea side town just minitues from Santa Barbara. There are a wide variety of activities in the area, sun and sand, surfing lessons, vineyard tours, horseback riding--something for everyone. Just go and enjoy yourself!"

"We enjoyed our stay very much! The house is located in a quiet neighborhood, close to everything we were in town for. The beds are comfortable. The home was very clean and homey. It felt like we were staying with family. We didn’t end up cooking, but the kitchen is well stocked. The yard is quite large and fully fenced in. We enjoyed the privacy. The driveway has plenty of parking. It was chilly when we were in town so didn’t use the A/C. There’s a cute playroom off the kitchen that’s perfect...
