Welcome to the Summerland Double Dolphin! This 5-Star rated 2 Bedroom/1 Bath relaxing vacation custom home is within a half mile walking distance to the beach & downtown Summerland!
This perfect oasis offers many custom features including all hardwood floors, vaulted wood ceiling, extensive cabinetry, comfortable reclining sofa furniture, two flat screen TVs , WiFi, fully stocked kitchen (including dishwasher), indoor & outdoor tables for dining, ceiling fans in every room, walk-in shower & a private washer and dryer.

This is the home you need for your vacation! It's located in a charming beach town that offers restaurants, shopping, markets, post office, gas station, convenience stores & a new full court basketball and tennis at the Summerland school during (none) school hours for your use, all within walking distance. The Summerland beach (Look Out Park) is operated by the County of Santa Barbara and is less than 1/2 mile from the Summerland Double Dolphin home. The park (Look out Park) offers a beautiful newly renovated playground, sand volleyball, ping pong tables, picnic tables, charcoal grills, Free parking and a Car Charging station. Great sunrise, sunsets, dolphins and whales at certain times of the year!
The town of Summerland may be quaint but it offers something for everyone; whether you want to hike/bike the well groomed trails and backroads, surf the world famous Rincon, lay on the quiet beach, take the public bus to Santa Barbara or Carpinteria (world's safest beach!) or stay at home and watch the ocean - this is the place for you.

About the host
Hosted by Debby and Rick
We have been in Summerland for about 20 years moving here from Arizona by way of Massachusetts. Rick has been in construction for over 38 years, we designed and custom built the Summerland Double Dolphin to be the ideal vacation home that it is. We put our heart and soul into a place where people could come to relax, enjoy the beach and the town that we fell in love with 18 years ago. We are very proud of our home, and we think it shows. A special thanks to family, friends, subcontractors, suppliers and the County of Santa Barbara that made this dream possible! Please read all our guest reviews, we really do care about our guest having a great vacation stay at the Summerland Double Dolphin! Sincerely, Debby and Rick
Why they chose this property
We chose this location because it allowed us to build a second home on the property to fulfill our vision of one day being able to build a new custom home that family and guests could enjoy for many years.
What makes this property unique
Being that we built this home in 2014 from the ground up we were able to truly choose the amenities that are important to us and to our guests as well. These amenities include a great ocean view allowing you to relax and watch the boats and sea life pass by. We also incorporated hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, comfortable furniture, and a kitchen dinette in a place that gets magnificent natural light. We know that everyone congregates to the kitchen so we built a great extended seating counter with backed bar stools that allow for everyone to come together and enjoy each other’s company. The home also has a customized bathroom with a large inlay glass walk in shower. The bedrooms are roomy and offer plenty of light. All the switched lighting throughout the home is customized so you can create your own mood through dimmer switches and we included ceiling fans in all the rooms. The home is very quite as it has all double pane windows with screens and solid interior alder wood doors. We put a lot of thought into the footprint of the home so that it would be very private including the patio off the master bedroom and the seating area in the backyard. A full County approved fire sprinkler system was installed for your family safety.
