Location and Beautiful

Everything was perfect. Elena does an amazing job running the place. The location is extremely close to the beach and we had our dog with us, the beach lets Dogs come too. We enjoyed hanging out at the beach. The unit was spotless and fully supplied with everything you would need. We enjoyed it and plan to come back soon!

Perfect Place for Carp!

If you want a very clean, stylish, and comfortable place to sleep for 1 or 2 while you’re out exploring the beaches, food, and shops of Carpinteria, stay here! Everything in this studio is top notch from the bed to the small fridge/freezer, to the beach towels and chairs, to the bathroom! The location is perfect - on the peaceful and quiet side of town by the salt water marsh but only a couple blocks from everything you need. I also met Elena and she was VERY nice! The negative reviews are absolutely absurd.

Perfect spot

My husband and I were heading north and wanted to stay near Santa Barbara. We hadn’t heard of Carpinteria, but the apartment was affordable, took dogs and was near the beach. This place was perfect. It is small and it is at the back of the building, but that didn’t matter at all. It is squeaky clean, exceptionally well stocked, decorated nicely and in a perfect location. I wouldn’t hesitate to go here again!

Excellent quiet stay with wonderful property manager service and kindness

My husband grew up in carpenteria and we have come to visit for years. We often stayed with his parents and camped. They have both passed now and this is the first time we have chosen a vacation rental for our stay. We appreciated Elena and her thoughtfulness and attention to details in the apartment. We slept well and enjoyed the immaculate gardens even though the weather was cold. We would stay here again.:)

Not Worth the Cost

Pros: Our unit was clean, the bed was comfortable, the shower pressure was great, and the kitchenette had a Keurig with lots of coffee choices. Cons: Location of the unit (in the back of the building, off the parking area, next to what looked like a maintenance room, away from the nice-looking apartments overlooking a green courtyard in the main part of the building); low ceiling; no natural light; a tiny, dark patio walled off from the parking area with a view of the ladder and pipes propped up in the next unit over; very thin walls and ceiling, so you hear babies crying and other guests stomping around above you. My main issue: The price was not commensurate with what we received. I don’t mind paying when there are amenities such as a lovely view, or a Jacuzzi, or even a bathtub. Or paying to stay in a place that doesn’t have a lot of frills, but feels warm and welcoming. Tropic Shores says they offer “luxury apartments.” Maybe they do. Maybe those were the apartments we passed by when we walked through the courtyard and out to the parking area to reach our unit. Maybe the “modern studio” we stayed in is in a different rental category. I don’t know. All I know is, our unit felt like an afterthought—something tacked on to what could very well be a nice collection of garden apartments. I would never return, and I will never book anything through VRBO again.

Not at all is as it appears

Do you want to have your vacation start with a crying baby next door? How about an unwanted bugs, specifically silverfish, in your "kitchen"? How about scummy glassware and greasy dishes? How about having to take short showers because the hot water runs out? Then this is the place for you. It is close to the beach - it's only saving grace. But beware of hidden charges and lack of cooperation from the managment.
