Great

2nd time here and just as enjoyable as the first!!!

We have stayed in the Carpinteria shores condos for years around Father’s Day. We usually choose another condo but this one was beautiful and just as pictured. The beds were comfy and linens were of nice quality. The kitchen was well equipped to make meals for the family. The deck was well appointed with comfy furniture and umbrellas. We all had a lovely stay and would like to return for another visit next year.

Very nicely upgraded. Very good deck and deck furniture

Loved the location and how beautifully appointed this apartment was. Enjoyed being able to be on the patio right on the beach. Don’t think we would have enjoyed our stay as much if the apartment wasn’t so beautiful! Very convenient parking. Very walkable to the adorable downtown full of cute shops and a variety of great restaurants. My only con: it annoys me that VRBO lists a nightly price, then tacks on $700 in fees…with a hotel you get the actual price you’ll be paying, not the price before taxes, cleaning costs and fees. And that was for only 4 nights!

We loved the location, the view! The condo was very clean and had everything we needed. Would stay again!

We loved our stay, but upon arrival, the overwhelming smell of, perhaps, cleaning materials was awful. We opened windows to reduce the strong stench, but nothing helped. Once inside, we acclimated to the smell, but each time we left and returned, we were again hit with what I’d almost classify as a hazardous-materials smell. It wasn’t pleasant AT ALL! Once home, my clothes all wreaked of it. So strange! Also, while the place seemed clean & very nice, I question if the floors are mopped in between guests. The one time I walked around bare-footed for a short time, which I truly NEVER do, my feet were absolutely filthy. Also, which isn’t a big deal, we were told to run the dishwasher before we left, but there were dishes in there when we arrived, so we weren’t sure if they were clean or not & questioned whether housekeeping was even there & doing their jobs before we arrived, which could also explain the dirty floors, but not the cleaning fee! We brought paper plates & cups and never used the things there, but we ran the already-full dishwasher for fear of being charged extra for not following all the rules. Lastly, the front-door keypad was super problematic & would take numerous inputs in order to open the door. One night we almost thought we’d need to call management for help, but finally, after many attempts, the door opened. I apologize for all the complaints, but I feel it‘s important to inform you of the issues encountered. (I hope this isn’t published & is only for Vrbo)

This vrbo needs to show what the berm really is. It’s a 10’ wall of sand 5 feet from the patio. It made staying at this place feel like staying in a basement with no windows. You couldn’t not enjoy the patio because of the constant sand blowing onto the patio. It was just awful.
