this property was a very short walk to a beautiful beach! And loved the downtown area for eating

Hubby and I loved it so much that we are already planning on returning every year! This was our most relaxing vacation ever. We loved that you could walk everywhere (we averaged about 20,000 steps a day). Things to do: Carpinteria Bluffs: make sure to see the seals (walking distance or short drive). Carpinteria Salt Marsh Nature Preserve: be sure to find the creek and look for leopard sharks just below the surface of the water (walking distance). Walk into town and eat. We loved Pizza Man Dans (awesome salad bar) and Teddy’s by the Sea. Take the train into San Diego (train stop is walking distance). And of course walk on the amazing beach, which was about a short block away. One of my most important criteria for a vacation is the quietness of the place, as I am the world’s lightest sleeper. I give this place 8/10 (10 being impossibly quiet). We rarely heard the neighbors. There only appears to be about a dozen units, unlike the larger complexes nearby. The train runs nearby, but it is a passenger train track only and doesn’t run overnight. The only noise issue I had is that the bedroom is directly over the complex laundry room. Despite a very large sign stating that the laundry room hours are 9pm-9am, I did hear it being used outside of those hours on more than one occasion, but I was still able to sleep quite well. Host was very helpful and responsive. Only criticism: some touch ups needed (bathtub could use a new faucet), but 10/10 would stay again.

It was a pleasant stay. My daughter and befriend stayed a few days. We loved staying so close to the beach. Also easy access to explore other nearby beaches. I love this small low key town. I live in the S.F. Valley, and it’s always a pleasure to come even if it’s for the day. Thank you!

Walking distance to everything in center of town. Well seasoned apartment, with most of what you need for a short stay. It does get warm inside, luckily nights were cool enough that we were comfortable when windows were opened. Host is very responsive via email.

Second time staying at this condo, this time for a month. The condo was immaculate. Very comfortable. Had everything we needed. Fantastic location. Two blocks from the beach and an easy walk to lots of stores and restaurants. Can’t wait to stay here again!

Beautiful town, great restaurants and the beach is 2 min walk from the house. Loved it, even got to see dolphins one day!!

It was in a perfect location. Just one block from the beach and walkable to great restaurants. Minutes from Santa Barbara. Will need to bring your own shower soap. Would stay again.

Communication was great. Location was fantastic. The place was clean and charming.

good value

This property is one block from the beach a beautiful beach. It was clean, comfortable had everything that we needed. It was very easy to communicate about the property and we loved it.

Perfect location. Very clean and comfortable. Excellent communication from host. Already booked another stay. Thanks!

Very nice property for a couple, a couple blocks from the beach and to town - shopping, restaurants, etc. Well kept in a small, quiet complex.

This property was clean and a short walk to the beach. The town was cute and had easy access to shops and restaurants. The temps were in the low 70s during the stay, but the condo was very warm. We needed to keep the fans running to cool it down.

This was our 7th consecutive year in a condominium near Carpinteria Beach ... and I must say this was our favorite of the 5 different condominiums we've rented. This unit is just less than one block from the beach and within walking distance to restaurants and shops in Carpinteria. Because it is an "end unit" there was an extra window that provided air circulation as well as added space in the loft.

The location and the condo was absolutely wonderful and I will come again. It’s close to everything you need and the beach is the best anywhere. I will be back, thank you Emily

Emily was great, the property is a 4 minute walk to the beach with almost 4 year old twins. Easily walk to the Spot and other local places to eat. Would definitely recommend staying here.

We had family in Santa Barbara and Ventura to visit so this spot was perfectly in the middle. When we wanted to have a day on the beach, we could just walk one block and the condo had all the stuff we needed for a successful beach day (chairs, umbrella, beach toys, etc.) This condo is also perfect walking distance to almost everything in Carpinteria! We walked to restaurants, grocery stores, everything. We definitely want to rent this place again!

This is a comfortable place in a beautiful location at a reasonable price comparatively. A little more care in updating would be appreciated, such as a pan that is not peeling (toxic) and at least a water filter pitcher for the kitchen… otherwise all was well .. thank you !

This place is comfortably furnished and well stocked with all of the kitchen supplies, linen supplies and all of the fun beach supplies one could ask for. And yes, during high tide in the wee hours of the morning, one can hear the waves lulling one with their rhythm.

This small condo is the perfect location location. The off street parking is key during the busy seasons. The owner was so helpful when we left behind some items by accident. Thank you!

A nice little place with a responsive owner and good kitchen facilities, close to the beach. Having beach chairs etc was good, However as someone noted, the place needed maintenance: when I pulled the chain for the ceiling fan, it fell off. the place is great for two people, might be a bit tight for 4.

Spent 3 nights here and enjoyed our stay. Two blocks from the beach, loved the king size bed and comfy living room furniture. Very quiet neighborhood.

We came for a weekend getaway during spring break. This was the perfect place for our family of 3! The beach is super close and so is the strip with all the cute little shops and restaurants. Bonus- there's a farmer's market on Thursdays that was going on when we got there. And my kid loved the stairs (since we don't have any) and kept going up and down and playing on them. The only downside was the tight parking spots. We would definitely stay here again!

Unit needs a deep clean! A fresh coat of paint would be a big improvement. The location was great as well as the added, chairs & mats.

Location, location, location. Can't beat one block from the beach. Had everything we needed.

Easy-breezy small condo conveniently located 1/2 block from a nice beach and 2 blocks from a sweet, small-town feeling commercial stretch with good dining options. Great for our party of 3 adult family members.

Comfortable, well equipped small condo. Photos true to space, furniture a bit dated. . Lovely to hear the ocean at night, and 1 block from beach. Manager/owner is lovely and responsive!

Older piece of property, but very clean.

It would have been a perfect stay except the apartment was really hot. Had to open windows and still hot. Ants almost everywhere. On the counter tops both bathroom and kitchen, fridge and freezer. Used wipes to deter them but they came back in force. Had to put food in zip lock bags to keep them out. We were rarely in the apartment just to eat and sleep. beach is close and that made the stay nicer, but still worried about the ants.

There were 3 of us staying for a long weekend. We are all older adults. We had a wonderful time. The flat is very clean and very nice, with nice furnishings and decor. There was plenty of bedding and linens, excellent instructions for guests about use of the flat including directions and supplies for clean up before entering the flat after going to beach (very important as beach has micro dots of tar that can soil feet). We loved the keypad entry: much easier than having to deal with keys and also the parking space was a good feature. The neighborhood is nice, very quiet, clean and feels super safe. The location is fantastic: super close to an incredibly lovely beach and beach park, easy access to Hwy 101 walkable to key Capenteria amenities like restaurants, etc. Our hostesses recommendation of the CorkTree restaurant was much appreciated: it is a very very good eatery. Highly recommend this property. We would absolutely stay here again.

Very nice unit convenient to beach and downtown. We didn't have to use our car except to get to and from the airport. The provided beach accessories (umbrellas and chairs) were so nice.

The condo was clean, well equipped, and had an excellent location. Ceiling fans in every room along with plenty of windows helped keep things comfortable. Kitchen had everything I needed such as cutting boards and measuring cups/spoons which many places have been lacking. Location was great with a short walk to the beach, the state beach park, and our favorite places to eat.
