Centered on a great-room filled with sunlit connections - it's a surprising home that's a bit Caribbean with a dash of whimsy. The great-room has windows on three walls and its sunlit spaces connect rooms that include 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a ship's bridge-like office space. The great-room's vaults, skylights, French doors, connecting native stone patios and tropical landscaping sprinkle Caribbean spices into your every day. The rich carved wood trim and doors have a nautical feeling putting you in a warm ocean current of beauty. The home is snuggled into a quiet side-street. It rests just above the village only a short walk from Summerland's 'Lookout' beach park and Lillie Avenue's small town restaurants. From here you can sail away to good food and fun in the sun at a moment's notice.

This home is in excellent condition and has been artfully upgraded. The property has been lovingly cared for by only one family since it was built. That family has infused their love of exotic places into the home and the joy shines through.

The family first used the home as a refuge for college students (UCSB & PACIFICA). Next, the home was a landing spot for the heads of the family as they shopped for a major estate nearby. Then, the home was a getaway for Los Angeles based family members. Most recently, the home was a high-end, furnished vacation rental with rates topping $3,000/week. Throughout it all everyone has always savored the home's vitality and flexibility.

Escape the mundane and anchor here in Summerland, an intimate Seaside Village next door to Montecito.
