About this property
Vine-Covered Garden Suite | Queen + Patio
A private garden guest suite in Summerland — queen bed, ensuite bath, kitchenette, and a shared patio — boutique simplicity minutes from the beach. Arriving at Gillian's feels like being let in on a local secret: climbing vines frame the entrance, the garden hushes the world, and inside waits everything a coastal escape actually requires and nothing it doesn't. One of Chosen's original guest suites, it delivers the boutique-inn experience — welcome gift and all — at a price that leaves room for the wine tasting.
THE SPACE. A comfortable queen bed dressed in quality linens, a private full bathroom, and a smartly equipped kitchenette — mini fridge, microwave, coffee station, and the essentials for light meals and slow mornings. Step out to the shared patio, made for coffee at sunrise and a glass of something cold after a beach day. Simple, private, and quietly charming.
WELLNESS HERE. Small, simple, restorative — the vine-wrapped garden setting, the Chosen welcome gift with wellness items and locally roasted coffee, and full access to Chosen's Santa Barbara wellness partner network.
THE LOCATION. Summerland — walk to the village and beach; 10 minutes to Montecito and downtown Santa Barbara. An older, well-loved building with beach-house character to match its price.
GOOD TO KNOW. This home is part of Chosen's Beach Collection — older, well-loved coastal homes with character, charm, and a few quirks that come with age and salt air. What they trade in modern polish they return in location, views, and value.

Gillian's Cottage is great for a short stay. The host was great to communicate with and answered all questions or concerns. The place was clean and cozy. Unknown to the host at the time, the coffee pot did not work, so missed early habit of coffee first thing in the morning. Other than that, all was great!
We enjoyed our time in Gillian's Room. The location was very good for us and we liked walking around the quaint village of Summerland. Aidan was super helpful and with timely communication.
This cute cottage holds true to the description & gave us everything we were looking for! Location can’t be beat; walking distance to shops, park & beach. Cleanliness & details matter in a stay away from home and nothing was overlooked. Thank you Aiden for keeping us informed! We look forward to visiting again in the future.
Cozy on the slightly cramped side. Ok for a quiet getaway not too far from the ocean. Check tide charts if you plan on enjoying the beach. Great host with excellent communication.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Overall: Not a good experience. Poor Quality.Doorframes were crooked which led to drafts in the room. Didn't advertise poor construction of room either. For over 200 a night, I felt my value could have been better spent at a motel 6. Towels had stains and the bed was semi dirty. Lots of pill bugs wandering the bathroom.
Quiet neighborhood up on a hill but in need of alittle TLC.
Tiny place. Kitchen and bath barely enough room to turn around in. I had difficulties with a couple of temporary problems: No chair to sit on - anywhere (landlord says it was out for repairs - but still... a temporary arrangement would have helped since nowhere to sit while putting on my shoes). Large heavy packages had been delivered... blocked the single small parking place..,too heavy for me to move much. Challenging to park. Told landlord, but nothing was done. Kitchen has no water supply. No directions for operating coffee maker and everthing in kitchen set up for very tall person (which I am not). Suggest landlord be at least a little attentive to guest needs.
