Summerland captures the essence of California's storied beach town charm, where coastal views and small-town atmosphere create an irresistible seaside haven. This intimate community, perched on gentle hillsides above the Pacific, offers residents a masterful blend of peaceful seclusion and vibrant village life.
Originally established as a spiritual community in 1889, Summerland has evolved into an eclectic seaside escape where vintage beach cottages and contemporary view homes share winding lanes and ocean vistas. The town's main street, Lillie Avenue, charms with its collection of antique shops and design studios. The Well, a premier destination for interior and landscape design, anchors the luxury home market, while the newly opened Godmothers has quickly become a cherished community hub, combining a thoughtfully curated bookstore with a warm gathering space.
Residents cherish their proximity to Summerland Beach and Lookout Park, where dolphins and whales regularly make appearances offshore. Just minutes from Montecito and Santa Barbara, yet wrapped in its own distinct character, Summerland offers that increasingly rare combination of coastal living and community connection, where morning beach walks and sunset gatherings become daily rituals.
