A Little Heaven in Summerland

Kristina P. ()
Review submitted: March 5, 2013   Date of arrival: February 28, 2013

My fiance and I came to Jasmine Cottage for a mid-week/weekend stay and absolutely loved our experience. The cottage is quaint and spacious, comfortable and accommodating. The gardens - both back and front - are gorgeous and well-kept. Coming from Chicago, I felt that winter had made me colorblind, and finally I could see again!

We highly recommend:
Breakfast on the porch
Watching the sunrise and sunset from the upper deck
Cooking in the spacious and well-appointed kitchen
A walk down the hill for antiquing
Sunning oneself in the Adirondack chairs out front, or the loungers in the back garden

Francesca, the owner, is so hospitable, she allowed for last-minute email requests, as well as both an early check-in and and late check-out! And she is a wonderful brownie baker!! The fridge was even stocked with essentials, including milk, cheese, beer and champagne when we arrived.

The only downsides to the cottage are the noise from the highway, and the view of the oil rigs...these are simply facts of Summerland, and not particular to Jasmine Cottage, however. Francesca and Jasmine can help you forget these small drawbacks with the coziness and charm!

Ultimately, we highly recommend Jasmine for a romantic, quiet, and comfortable getaway.

Owners response: Dear Kristina,
I am so happy that you and your husband enjoyed your short visit and had so many things you liked. It is particularly lovely here now, when we have spring like weather and so many flowers in bloom. In some ways this is the best time to visit!

Glad you also enjoyed the antique stores and boutiques walking distance to the house. We even have our own wine-tasting room a short stroll away.

I was surprised to see your reference to the oil rigs since they are about 20 miles away and in no way impact our view. However, like someone once said in looking at Marilyn Monroe, do you see the beautiful face or focus on the mole on her face. Yes, there are some oil rigs in the Santa Barbara Channel, but most people don't see them, or if they see them at night, enjoy all the lights that actually look like a passing ship.

Highway 101 does run parallel to the beach and can be heard all over Santa Barbara. However, our double paned windows and extra insulation almost completely mask the freeway noise. Of course, you can hear it most places outside the house and around town. It is a small price to pay for the beauty of our coastline as our visitors drive up to visit us.

I look forward to welcoming you back from the chill of Chicago and wish you safe travels until then. And, thanks again for your very kind words....

Best,
Francesca

The beach house with everything

Jennifer L. (Australia)
Review submitted: November 16, 2011   Date of arrival: November 5, 2011

We have stayed in more than 30 holiday rentals in our journey around the world (family of four, with two chidren aged 10 and 8) and this one was definitely the best equipped, with so many extras! We were especially grateful for all the fresh fruit, cake and sparkling wine in the fridge. And for practicalities, there was more than enough soap, laundry detergent, etc for our stay.

Summerland itself is a lovely little place, with a nice coffee shop, a lovely long beach, and even a small supermarket within walking distance. We saw dolphins from the beach, a hummingbird in the garden (attracted by all the lovely flowers) and some glorious sunsets from the main room, where the view of the ocean has been perfectly framed.

It is a short drive to Santa Barbara and Montecito, where there are some great hikes, but you can easily have a lovely relaxing week without driving anywhere.

Thank you Francesca for all of the thoughtful touches throughout the house.

Owners response: Thank you so much for your fantastic review, comments on our property and all the wonderful areas to visit around Santa Barbara. I am truly delighted that you felt your experience was exceptional and that Jasmine Cottage was the best equipped vacation rental of your visit to the US - that is our goal!!

I hope we can welcome you back to Santa Barbara on another visit. Until then, Bon Voyage and best wishes for a very safe trip back to Australia....

lovely place

Review submitted: November 12, 2011   Date of arrival: October 26, 2011

We had our two young children and our dog at Jasmine Cottage for about a week and it was a wonderful experience. The view was phenomenal, we got lucky with warm perfect weather in late October. It felt like summer! We used the supplied old beach chairs and umbrella, towels, sand toys etc at the beach every day, the kids played in the park with excellent play equipment everyday, and we throroughly enjoyed all of the goodies left for us. Hot brownies welcomed us with a personal note, and luxurious and comfortable furniture, linens, extremely well - equipped kitchen, lush english cottage style garden... We will definitely be back. We highly recommend this home. There is some freeway noise and trains regularly passing nearby, but the windows are new and double paned, and when closed, keep all the noise out.

Recommended for: age 55+, families with young children, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, girls getaway, pet-friendly, sight seeing, romantic getaway

Owners response: Absolutely delighted to hear that your enjoyed your visit and Jasmine Cottage. The ocean views are always fantastic at this time of the year, with phenomenal sunrises and sunsets over the Pacific Ocean. Thanks for coming to visit and look forward to your return! Francesca
