Apt 12: Stunning 2-bed 2-bath Apt Steps to Beach

This luxury 2nd floor apartment was just remodeled with the highest quality and craftsmanship, and furnished with beautiful rich leather decor. The Tropic Shores apartments are a quiet, lushly landscaped 16-unit complex and one of the finest properties in Carpinteria.

Your luxury apartment is located steps away from one of the the nicest beaches in California. Step on the sand and turn right, and you'll enter a beach area where you can enjoy a leisurely walk on a beautiful uncrowded beach. Tropic Shores Apartments are located 200 yards from the best beach in Carpinteria, and directly across from the Salt Marsh Park area.

The town of Carpinteria is pretty small, measuring approximately 1 mile square. There are at least fifty restaurants, and many cute little shops, all within easy walking of your apartment. If you're not familiar with "Carp", I recommend you plan a couple hours for a leisurely walking tour of the town. We all have our favorite places and I'm sure you'll find a few of your own. Carpinteria beaches are the highlight, and we have the best beach a couple minute walk from your door. If you plan to hang around Carpinteria, you can literally leave your car parked the entire stay. You can walk almost anywhere in "Carp" in about 20 minutes...30 minutes max. I recently took a full walk of the town, from our door, through town, to the state parks and beach, and home again...and it took 50 minutes. There's also a local trolley bus which you can ride for fun, or if your feet get a little tired. For traveling North to Santa Barbara or Solvang, or South to Ventura or Los Angeles, you will need your car. Amtrak also departs from the Carpinteria station, only a 10 minute walk away.

The apartment is heated and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker and an ironing board.

Excellent stay: quiet and comfortable

We enjoyed our stay. The apartment was very clean, comfortable, and quiet. The location near the beach and walking paths was great. Parking on the street was easy and access to restaurants was a plus. We will definitely consider renting the apartment again next time we visit Carpinteria. Thank you!

Beautifully Decorated Apartment

I stayed 5 days at Tropical Shores and it was relaxing and restful. My apartment, #12, was beautifully decorated and just tranquil. Tropical Shores is just steps from the beach; it's just the perfect place to come to be close to the beach and still have quiet.

This property is amazing for its proximity to the beach. It is also a luxurious apartment to stay in. The kitchen and baths were especially beautiful. Everything was super clean and very comfortable for our family. The owners were wonderful to work with, and I would highly recommend them. I can't wait to go back again next year, if not sooner!! Carpinteria is a great place to visit and this apartment is the perfect spot to enjoy it from!!

Close to beach, comfortable beds and clean property.

The property was as promised. It was clean when we arrived. Coffee and some condiments were provided. The kitchen was stocked with dishes and cookware. This is a quiet community and all the front doors/windows face a small courtyard and each other. Short walk (under 5 minutes) to the beach. Saltmarsh right across the street was neat and we got to see several sharks and stingrays swimming below the bridge. Beach is sandy but there is a lot of seaweed in the water(this beach more than others). I recommend bringing a small bottle of baby oil to remove any oil that may stick to your feet. Although the owner did provide oil removing disposable cloths, I liked the smell of baby oil. My son and husband wore wetsuits as they found it more comfortable if they were in the water for extended periods (several hours) otherwise water was great. My only con is I wish there was a dry push mop or standard broom to clean the floors as they did get very sandy. There is a broom and dustpan set but at 5'6 I was too tall to comfortably use it. I would recommend this property and stay here again.

Great property in an unbeatable location

My family had such a great stay here. Beautiful kitchen with new appliances and granite counters, fully stocked with food and supplies in the cabinets and the refrigerator, including four kinds of sugar. Everything is very clean and modern. Two blocks from the beach, with the dog beach to the right and the other to the left. The bathrooms included packets of tar remover and makeup remover. Beds are comfortable and spring-free. Quiet building in January.
