About this house rental

OWNER WILL CONSIDER LESS THAN 7 NIGHTS IF IT IS CLOSE TO THE DATE AND WE HAVE OPENINGS. EMAIL REQUESTS TO KATHY
CARPINTERIA...maybe it's not really the land that time forgot, but it doesn't take much time here to feel like you've eased back into a vacation from your childhood. Days at the beach are long and lazy, and balmy nights are livened up by walks up and down the main drag, stopping for ice cream, to window shop, or to just watch others stroll by. There's a wide variety of local restaurants, but not a major chain in sight (other than fast food, of course), and if you feel like staying out late, there's usually live music playing nearby somewhere.

We have a comfortable, well stocked house with cute beachy decor. It is the perfect place for a great relaxing vacation. New- this year --- a flat screen TV! We hope you enjoy the outdoors but if your favorite sporting event or something else is on-- the viewing is much improved. Dorrance Depot R&R has the flavor of the past with the accommodations that you want for your family today. Located within two blocks of just about everything, it's a short walk to the beach and wildlife sanctuary in one direction, and Linden Avenue's shops and restaurants in the other. Although it's rumored to have been the old railroad station, today's Dorrance Depot R&R is all about Rest and Relaxation. Unit A, a spacious single story beach cottage, has three bedrooms and two full baths, with a large and open living, dining, and kitchen area. The front porch and small grassy yard, enclosed by a picket fence, connect the inside to the outside, and add to the entertainment possibilities. There's plenty of secure storage space for your portable vacation gear (chairs, bikes, boogie boards, etc.), and the house is fully equipped with kitchen, bath, and linen supplies.

Be our guest!...You'll be counting down the days until you can come back again.

Carp was great. Unfortunately, our stay was not ideal. I'll list out the pros and cons. Pros: 1. Property is in an awesome location with maybe 3-5 minute walk to the beach, and walkable distance to all the key Carp restaurants. 2. Outdoor shower definitely helps after beach. Cons: 1. General communication. When I booked the house, the confirmation gives the address, but it wasn't until when I checked in that I was provided that it's a unit A. I found that there is 2 other units in the back of the house at the end of the driveway, which made parking really difficult. When we arrived, there was another tenant that parked in one of our spots, and I almost hit the fence multiple times trying to pull in and out. Also, the unit comes with 2 parking spots, so I pulled in sideways to make it easier to get out. The owner visited the property the day before our last day and asked that I pull in more and over although I was within the spaces. I was unsure the necessity of that ask. 2. Cleanliness. Property owner asked if any other issues, and I mentioned that the sheets felt a bit sticky, that there was wet things in the dryer and what appeared like dried snot on one of the fleeces. The owner apologized about the clothes in the dryer, and she mentioned that they only cleaned the throws once in a while. I felt that dried snot on the bed should have received a bit more than that response. There were other things, but I'll leave at that. 3. Neighbors are very close in proximity.

My family and I enjoyed our week in this cute beach house. There was plenty of space and great access to town or the beach. We would definitely stay there again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the walkability of everything Carpinteria has to offer from this house. It's a quick walk to the beach, the trails along the beach bluffs, the salt marsh area, and Linden Avenue restaurants and shops. The home is as pictured with parking available behind the house on the driveway. There's one bedroom and the primary bedroom/bath down a hallway off the kitchen. The other bedroom and bathroom are off the living room.We would gladly stay again!

The house is within walking distance to the beach and downtown. The charcoal grill was unusable ( the grates were very rusted and eroded and there was no basin to catch ashes. We spoke to the host and she directed us to borrow a grill from a neighbor who is one of her renters. That grill was not much better but we were able to BBQ. There were dirty dishes in every cupboard and the house could use a deep cleaning. The guest bathroom has mold and is very outdated. The house had ample room for our group and we did have a great time in Carpinteria. If the items listed above were corrected, I would rate it higher.

This is our 5th trip to Carp and first staying at this property. We chose it because it's dog friendly, has three bedrooms, and near the beach. Due to Covid, only three adults made the trip and no dog, so there was plenty of room for us. Like many beach cottages, it's a bit 'salty and sandy' and it was exactly what we expected. It exceeded our expectations and we hope to return next year. The owner, Kathy, was very responsive.
