Beachfront Condo | Ocean Views, Steps to Sand, Dining & Charming Village Streets

​​​​​​​2 BEDROOMS | 2 BATHROOMS | 4 GUESTS
Carpinteria License Number - 1079-VR-18

This beachside condominium is just three steps away from "The World's Safest Beach" in Carpinteria. Exclusively brought to you by Paradise Retreats, it is the perfect spot for water sports, beach enthusiasts, and those who love the views but prefer not to get sandy. You’ll be just one block from Linden Ave to enjoy burgers from The Spot, locally brewed beer at Island Brewing Company, and an upscale seafood dinner from Little Dom’s.

The first-level apartment offers big picture windows as the ideal spot to watch sunsets over the ocean and dolphins cruising through the Santa Barbara Channel. An open kitchen, and dining room with trendy decor complete the beachy vibes. The condo complex also offers a beachside patio with two gas grills to cook outdoors.

PLEASE NOTE: During the winter months (November-March), the City may erect a sand wall to protect all of the beachfront properties from winter swells and storms. While it protects homes, it does have the potential to block the view of the ocean from lower levels of the home.

HIGHLIGHTS:
- Located on the Beach!
- Walk to Downtown Dining and Shops
- Ocean Views from the Living Spaces

Great property.

As described and on a beautiful beach. However lovely Adirondack chairs shown not there. Small detail, but nevertheless disappointing. Also noted by previous guests, there is a unit above and footsteps above can be a bit of a downer if you are not expecting a little noise. Would rent this property again.
