The home is perfectly located close to downtown (7 min walk), a block from the beach, and the salt marsh reserve (good walking trails). The home itself is an older condo, but clearly remondeled and taken care of. No ac, but if you run the ceiling fans and have the windows open it cools nicely. I noticed additional fans in closets for hotter months (my stay was in october), but i didn’t need them. The balcony does not have a beach view, but over looks the parking lot, and other apartments. Not a deal breaker because if you wan the beach, it’s right outside the front of the complex. I stayed alone as i was there for a wedding, but there is a second bedroom with bunk beds, so a family or small group could make it work. A pool and hot tub open 10a to 10p, as well as on site laundry (coin operated, or you can pay with an app). One of the nicest things is that the complex is a quiet community. I really didn’t hear much of any noise after quiet hours (10pm), which made for a very peaceful stay. Don’t come here expecting to party, go downtown for that haha. All together a fun little sleepy beach town. I will be visiting again.Also the bed was very comfy!

Thank you for hosting us at your lovely property! We had a fantastic time, especially enjoying the pools, which were a highlight of our stay. The combination of staying at your place on Friday night and camping on Saturday added a unique and fun twist to our trip.To help future guests, we suggest noting in the listing that the property does not have air conditioning. While Carpinteria rarely needs it, we happened to visit during a hot and humid spell, so this detail would be helpful upfront. Additionally, we only discovered the availability of boogie boards and other amenities as we were leaving—it might be great to highlight these in the listing or welcome materials to ensure guests can fully enjoy them.Overall, we had a wonderful experience and appreciate your hospitality. Thank you again!

Cute Carp condo

We had a very comfortable stay over 4th of July weekend. We were 2 adults and 3 kids ages 10 and under. The second bedroom has a bunk bed that actually provides 3 beds - a double bed bottom with a twin top bunk and a twin trundle pull out under the double. The condo is well stocked with beach equipment (photo attached). It’s an easy walk across the street to the sandy beach.

Great family beach trip.

We had a wonderful time. The location was perfect and we were able to walk to the beach daily. The unit owner supplied boogie boards, sand chairs, and umbrellas. Our only two suggestions would be that the management company should provide more paper towels, napkins, and garbage bags and it would have been nice to have something to get the tar off our feet (walking on the beach leaves tar on feet). The interior stairs were a bit of a concern since we had two small children with us. Everything considered, it was a great vacation. Lots of nice restaurants close by the condo and only a short drive/bike ride to Santa Barbara.

Wonderful place--marginal management

Carpinteria is my happy place so I brought my husband, daughter, grandkids, and a friend with me on this vacation. The management company knew we would have 6 people, yet we only had 2 beach towels, 5 bath towels, and only a couple hand towels and washcloths. There were no dish towels at all. I wrote to the management company every day we were there, and they even said they would give us the missing towels, but they never arrived. If you know there are 6 people, at the very minimum, there should be 6 beach towels, bath towels, hand towels, and wash cloths, and at least a couple dish towels. This is a beach area, and a beach condo--this was really shoddy management. VRBO needs to vet their management companies more carefully, I think.

Great Beach Getaway

Location and overall property were great. We were asked to review cleanliness upon arrival and everything at first glance seemed clean; however, once we started using the place, we notice the carpet in the living room hadn’t been throughly vacuumed (large food particles and crumbs were by the sofa) and the downstairs bathroom had mold in the sink and shower. Upstairs bathroom also had some mold in/near the shower that should be taken care of.

Great Place

We VRBO a couple times a year in Carpinteria and this place was great. Very close to the beach and the house was clean and had a great beach feel. One thing I don’t remember mentioned in the description but this place has access to the pool and hot tub which we used a lot! They have two small pools (one that was colder and more refreshing and one that was more heated) we had overcast mornings when we stayed so it was great to have the pools and hot tub while we waited for the sun to come out. We recommend this unit.
