Fantastic house!
We were a family (Grandparents, grown kids, little kids) in town for a wedding and this spot was perfect. Location: Great! Easy to get to Carpenteria restaurants as well as Santa Barbara. If you are attending a wedding or event at the Rincon Beach Club, this is literally 4 mins away. We had our dogs with us and the walk around the surrounding streets was very pleasant. Beds: Super comfortable! Kitchen: Great for a group. Parking: Very easy, there was one spot in the driveway and then room for more cars right outside the house on the street. Backyard: Our 3 year old daughter loved the play structure!! We couldn't have had a better time. Thank you!!

Perfect for family get-together
My wife and stayed here along with 4 adult children and 1 spouse to attend the wedding of a 5th child. The venue was nearby, so this was perfect for staging the event with plenty of room for people to drop by, change after a long drive, or catch a little break from festivities. The house is larger than it appears and prettier than the listing photos. Roses and hydrangea were blooming in the front yard and mature greenery kept the backyard quite private. The kitchen is huge and very well-equipped for cooking, baking, prepping or serving. The bedrooms are large and bathrooms expansive. The back yard is the show-stealer--dining area and sitting area with umbrellas, fire pit, ping-pong, huge children's gym set and a large hot tub which is the cleanest one I have ever used in a rental! Lisa was super prompt and questions were dealt with immediately. The price is very fair--we consider it a very good value. It is luxuriously comfortable for 6 adults; hide-a-beds and a roll-away would make it possible for 8 or 9 with just a little squeezing together. We were very pleased with our entire stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking in this area.

What a cozy little gem!
Quiet, charming & cozy family paradise. From the moment we walked through the doors, my shoulders relaxed. Everything is clearly labelled (with little framed notes/instrictions) carefully framed throughout the home. Lovely living space. Wonderful kitchen for hanging out and entertaining family. Some indoor and outdoor toys and books for kids (thank you!). Backyard is a dream come true for moms. Playground, sand, ping pong table & secure jacuzzi with pagoda/cover & lights (great place to relax after kids are put to bed!). Ideal location 5 min drive to Padaro, Butterfly, Santa Claus & Summerland beaches. Summerland also has a grassy park & playground above the beach! Unfortunately, the oil rigs have resulted in inpleasant odor along beaches & sand has a bit of oil sheen to it. We enjoyed a short walk on the beach and opted to avoid beaches due to this. Such a shame for such a beautiful area. Apart from beach condition and traffic noise - only heard from backyard, this is a little piece of paradise. Conveniently located 10 min drive from downtown SB.

The Best Beach House!
So grateful to find a place that is kid friendly! My son spent all his time playing in the backyard, and the inside toys were such a pleasant bonus. There were multiple bedding and seating options for any age combination you might have in your family. Even with all the kid stuff there was plenty of opportunity for the adults to enjoy the elevated space. Definitely something for everyone here, we’ll be back!

Great place for family gathering
My husband and I rented this for three nights along with our 2 daughters, their spouses and 4 children, ages 8 mos, 1, 3, 4. Though we were looking for 4 bedrooms, this worked great. We used the crib, pack in play, twins with railings, And pullout couch off the kitchen. The master has a huge closet that easily could have fit a couple toddlers on the floor. The outside area is delightful. The play set with swings and slide were fun, as well as the sandbox area underneath The kids toys in the rental were much appreciated. Though we had a range of ages and kids, it would be perfect for adults. One king, one queen. Lots of sitting areas in and out, a nice hot tub, fancy kitchen and close to Padero Lane beach and Summerland.

Great house for all ages!
Overall this was a fantastic property that had everything that was needed. For a large group (4 adults and 5 kids) we had plenty of space and everything that was needed to cook / keep the kids occupied. In addition to a great house, the backyard was spacious and having a swing set and ping pong table was a huge plus for the kids. I would definitely stay here again next time I am in the area!

Harrison and Caitlin's Wedding
Our son on April 1st married his forever love and we stayed at "Our" private gateway It was AMAZING zero complaints. We had just moved from Summerland and I knew we would need a home this place was perfect on so many levels. As the mother of the groom, it was important to have a comfortable space for our family to welcome our son's bride and her family along with extended families that traveled to celebrate Harrison and Caitlin. We hosted a Friday Shabbat dinner with the two families before the Welcome party at TopaTopa in the funk zone and we had difficulty with the oven. Lisa and the owner were extremely helpful, accommodating, and sincere. I am confident the problem has been addressed. We look forward to staying here again and highly recommend it

We stayed here with my sister and her kids plus my parents and my family to celebrate my mom’s 80th birthday. The house was immaculate and comfortable for our group including kids ages 9-17. The hosts have thought of everything. The kitchen is well stocked, backyard is fun and entertaining, perfect number of towels and super comfy beds. We had a wonderful weekend and loved having this house as our homebase while we explored Santa Barbara and Carpenteria.
