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.

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!

Quiet, perfect location for home base or retreat

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!

Cute home in charming Beach town

We enjoyed our three nights at this property in The charming beach town of Summerland. It was a an excellent base for exploring, not only Santa Barbara, but other beach towns. It was comfortable and within walking distance of restaurants and a small grocery store. We had a great time.
