Best Deal in Carpinteria!

This retreat is perfect for couples and a small family of 3 who have the desire to get away from it all. Come to one of the last Beach Communities that still offers the small town feel. We are known as the 'Worlds safest Beach'. Just 12 miles South of Santa Barbara and 90 miles North of LA. A winning combination of location, quality and price!

Why stay in a hotel/motel, or the suburbs that look like any other, when you can bask in the laid back atmosphere of a Beach community, with the smell of the ocean, less than one block to the beach?

The Condo is located in the quiet section of Carpinteria, just steps away from the beach, Bird Sanctuary, Dining and downtown shops, including our own local farmers market. Leave your car and associated traffic/parking worries behind. We even offer off street reserved parking.
The condo is heated and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, a phone, and an ironing board.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The location is just fantastic, we walked into town with our 10 month old each morning for coffee and breakfast. Really really nice staying right in the heart of downtown and one block from the beach. The upstairs was pretty hot during our stay but the entire coast was experiencing a heat wave and there isn’t much to be done about that. Mark reached out and mentioned he had purchased a window AC unit which I think will really help. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you Mark!

Everything was straight forward and accurate. All needed amenities were there, perfect for a stay one short block to the beach. It probably is "the best deal in Carpinteria," a small funky town nestled along 101 between Ocean and mountains.

We rented this condo for my daughter and her husband. It was clean, so cute and had everything they needed for their stay. It was one block from the beach (condo had beach chairs, umbrella, beach bag etc) and a short walk to Linden in Carpinteria. The salt marsh is close, and we watched the rocket launch from Vandenberg from that great vantage point. The owner was very good at communicating and quick to answer any questions via returned texts. I appreciated that more than he will know! He also let the kids enter early, which was appreciated since my daughter is pregnant and had been up early for a long flight. (thank you again!)We would highly recommend this VRBO to anyone visiting the area! Lovely!!!

Clean & cozy, with everything we needed for our week long stay. The bed was extremely comfortable and the shower had great water pressure. My husband especially liked the "nook" under the stairs for reading. Minutes from the beach and town to many good restaurants and live music. Sunsets were gorgeous! Carp is a clean, quiet, and friendly town, with easy access to the freeway. Mark, the host, was very responsive, and the check - in process was seamless. I would recommend this property to a couple and a young child for an awesome stay in Carp!

We really enjoyed this smartly appointed condo, a block from the beach. Accommodations were comfortable and complete. Nice complete kitchen, the best bed ever and we loved the big thick bath towels. The condo grounds are beautifully kept. Carpinteria is a quaint yet hopping little town, great eatery selections, farmers market and shopping all within walking distance. Our hosts were most informative. We loved this place!

Nice week in Carp

We chose this place most for price and location to the beach. It was adequate for our needs, just my wife and I. If you can't climb stairs every time you need to use the restroom, you might struggle a bit. Other that that it worked well.

Wonderful location and communication

Our recent stay at Mark's property was probably the best VRBO experience we have had. The property better than listed and Mark was extra helpful with local suggestions. The area was quiet and right next to the beach and within walking distance of downtown and restaurants. It was also great to have reasonable check in and check out times. We will definitely book again if we are in the area.

Awesome Location, perfect spot for a couple!

Mark’s Carpinteria condo was exactly what we needed. A clean, quiet and comfortable home base while we visited Carpinteria and explored the area. Close to Ventura, Santa Barbara, and under an hour from endless hiking trails with amazing views and gorgeous beaches. The bed was incredibly comfortable (and we’re both quite picky). Mark was responsive and available, should we have needed anything, and there’s a wonderful beach and walking path under two blocks away. We plan to stay here again next time we’re in the area.
