Summerland, California · 3 fully furnished units

A Summerland landmark,
since 1884.

Rested above the coast road in Summerland, now three furnished units a short walk from the beach and Lillie Avenue.

Why The Big Yellow House

The house Summerland
was built around.

Henry Lafayette Williams, who founded Summerland, built this house in 1884. For thirty years it was the restaurant everyone stopped at on the drive between Santa Barbara and Ventura, and it came through the Thomas Fire still standing.

Two of the guest units are upstairs, furnished by Dara Barker Designs in rattan, linen and denim blue; the third has its own separate street entrance. Downstairs, the owner is opening Artelier, a community arts centre.

Ocean views from the main units

The two main units, a studio and a two bedroom, look out over the Pacific. The third is a compact studio without a direct ocean view.

Summerland Beach, a short walk

Lookout Park and Summerland Beach are a few minutes on foot, with restrooms, picnic tables and a dog wash at the top of the path.

An arts centre downstairs

Dara Kay Barker’s Artelier opens on the ground floor with exhibits, workshops, and events.

★★★★★

“Beautiful place! Can’t wait to return.”

★★★★★

“We had the best stay at the Big Yellow House! Our room was exactly as described, and I loved the interior choices throughout the bedding and living spaces. My only suggestion (and it's a minor one) would be adding another lamp near the bed in the corner for a bit more lighting flexibility. Otherwise, it was truly excellent, and we'll definitely be back!”

★★★★★

“We had a fantastic time together with the family at this property. It was clean and spacious for three adults and one dog. We enjoyed the view of ocean and all the shopping stores and restaurants in that area. We truly appreciate your hospitality. We will be back again.”

★★★★★

“We needed a comfortable and convenient location while visiting our daughter and grandson who live in Carpinteria. The BYH was perfect - right off the freeway but quiet inside the unit. Beautiful upgraded furnishings and decor, fully equipped kitchen, oversized bathroom and lots of storage. Communication with property managers was wonderful. We got prompt replies and immediate attention to some things we needed. We will stay again. I highly recommend.”

★★★★★

“Our stay exceeded every expectation. The space is beautifully designed, spotless, and has such a warm, inviting atmosphere that we felt at home the moment we arrived. Everything about the experience was seamless—from the easy self check-in to the thoughtful amenities that made our stay so comfortable. We loved the peaceful location while still being just a short drive from all the best beaches, restaurants, and shopping in the Santa Barbara area. As a family, we especially appreciated how spacious and functional the loft was without sacrificing style. Every corner is beautifully decorated, making it a place you'll actually want to spend time in, not just sleep. Thank you, ZenStay, for creating such a wonderful boutique stay. We would absolutely choose The Big Yellow House again and will be recommending it to friends and family looking for a memorable California getaway.”

Getting here

Between SB and
Carpinteria.

108 Pierpont Avenue sits in the quiet coastal enclave of Summerland, California, 10 minutes south of downtown Santa Barbara and minutes from Carpinteria's beaches and village. Summerland Beach is steps away.

The 101 runs below the property, so expect some road noise. Every unit has blackout curtains and a white noise machine. The ground floor is an active arts venue, so there are event days.
