Description Description
A view that will leave you in awe: Welcome to Blue Ocean View Retreat, a gorgeous studio apartment minutes from downtown Santa Barbara overlooking the Pacific Ocean, from the beautiful town of Summerland.

This location is private but provides to access some of Santa Barbara’s most popular destinations in under a 10 min drive. Including but not limited to, Santa Barbara Golf Club, Butterfly Beach, East Beach, West Beach, Leadbetter Beach, La Cumbre Plaza, Stearns Wharf, and Santa Barbara Botanic Garden! Summerland Beach, and local classic restaurants are within walking distance. Downtown Santa Barbara is a 4 min drive, and is lined with upscale restaurants, shops, and activities for any season. Only 2 minutes away, you can also enjoy what Montecito has to offer.

When entering the home, you'll instantly be drawn to the shades of blue on the horizon. Head out to the oversized balcony and take your time to relax outside on the patio furniture to breathe in the salty air - you’re on vacation after all! A retractable awning is available for extra sun protection.

Back inside, you are greeted with unique vaulted ceilings that offer an open and airy layout. The apartment is loft-style so you can expect an open concept between the kitchen space, living room, and bedroom.

The kitchen offers modern stainless steel appliances and is fully equipped for you to enjoy any meal at home. You can expect to find a drip coffee maker, and toaster in addition to necessary cookware and flatware. This is an eat-in kitchen to seat 4 with stools at the counter.

The living room is cozy with a loveseat, coffee table, desk and a large sliding glass door that opens to the outside balcony. Adjacent to the living room you can find a Queen bed with a dresser and TV. The bathroom is steps away from the bed and offers a vanity with ample counter space and a standing shower with lovely stone tile work.

The costal location of this property is near HWY 101 and the Amtrak rails, vehicles and passing trains may be heard.

Awesome location with great views. Very clean. The only issues we had was that the oven didn’t work or get fixed & a couple of other things that needed to be fixed. Other than that it was great!

Thank you for staying with us Toni! Apologies that we were unable to get the oven taken care of during your stay. It is working again and we took care of the other items as well. We hope to have you back with us again soon!

Sehr sauber und genau wie auf den Bildern. Auf der Terrasse war es aber sehr laut und selbst im Haus hat man den Highway 101 noch leise gehört.

I absolutely fell in love with the place. It was so peaceful and beautiful. Safety was a main concern of mine, since I was traveling alone, and I could not have felt safer and more at home. The view was amazing, the neighborhood was so quiet. Within walking distance you could easily spend the day in the beautiful shops, eateries, beach and the beautiful bird sanctuary. It was also easy to get on the freeway and head to surrounding areas. I’m so happy I chose this place. I hope to book again in the future.

This was a great place with an amazing view. It had most of the amenities we needed. The only drawbacks were no air conditioning and being so close to the freeway. We needed to keep the windows open at night to let the breeze in, but we heard the freeway noise because of that. Great little area just south of SB with quaint restaurants and shops.

We truly appreciate you noting the amenities and are happy the location worked well for your stay. We understand that the lack of air conditioning and the proximity to the freeway may have been inconvenient, especially at night, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

Ho soggiornato in questa casa e l’esperienza è stata davvero ottima! L’abitazione è curata nei dettagli, pulitissima e dotata di tutto il necessario per sentirsi come a casa. La posizione è comoda e tranquilla, perfetta per rilassarsi ma anche per raggiungere facilmente i punti di interesse della zona.

Perfect Airbnb stay. The images match the studio perfectly. Was pleasantly surprised how spacious it was. Would return again

This Summerland home was a great vacation getaway. Like the description mentions, the highway and train are very audible, but it is quiet most of the time. The host is very courteous and quick to reply to messages.

Great place I stayed over a month. My portable air filter drowned out the 101 so it never bothered me. It is well equipped for a long stay. Very private, incredible view, great town, nearby beaches are beautiful. I would definitely stay there again. They quickly respond to any issues. Just book it!

This was a marvelous vacation experience. The panoramic ocean view from this spacious studio was breathtaking. I can best describe its sparkling clean interior as elegant and classy. It was obviously upgraded in recent years, to include a modern kitchen area, beautiful flooring, and dark stained window and door frame trim. The queen size bed was very comfortable, and my wife and I commented more than once that we were sleeping better in it than in our bed at home. One other thing: I can’t say enough about the VRBO support we received throughout our stay. Questions we had were answered immediately and there was a strong sense that staff wanted to make sure that we were thoroughly enjoying ourselves, which indeed we were.

Super clean, amazing view, had everything you could need, and an easy drive into Santa Barbara. A couple issues came up during our stay and the team was super responsive and kind. Highly recommend.
