We have been back multiple times, staying in the larger units. The units are clean, stylishly renovated (all updated), and well stocked. All units open into a central, courtyard (surrounded by all it's 4 sides). When guests congregate in the courtyard for an informal party, the noise reverberates throughout the entire unit. All you need is a few people talking, laughing and having a good time, unaware of the sound implication. Same for pets (barking dogs) that guests let out of their unit into the courtyard or just leave behind (barking just behind the closed door), or young children running around and playing. However, these issues were promptly addressed by the owner when we contacted them for help, as we knew folks and animals were unaware. Each time we did, the owners were responsive, kind, thoughtful and effective. For many of our stays, the entire complex has been quite since many of the guests realize the sound amplification nature of the common-area, central courtyard and respect the noise rules, which are quite explicitly written and placed on the kitchen counter of each unit. Overall, we enjoy returning to this VRBO complex - especially for its excellent location with short walking distance to the Carpinteria State Beach and a walkable location to multiple restaurants and bars in Carpinteria.

Great location, would love to stay again.

We spent the long Thanksgiving weekend here and had a great stay. The complex is literally a block away from a gorgeous beach - we'd grab one of the beach chairs and hang out, or go for a sunset stroll, or head south on a longer walk to see the seal sanctuary. It's also an easy walk to cafes in the town. There is a comfy couch for watching TV, a dining table for eating together, plus a well-equipped kitchen (Vitamix blender + Keurig coffee maker!). The king bed was very comfy; the twin beds for our college-age kids were maybe a bit small, but they didn't complain. I'd recommend bringing your own bottled water; the tap water is very hard/mineralized so I felt better about not drinking it directly from the tap. But great water pressure! We really enjoyed our stay.

Great pet friendly apt. upstairs just a short walk to beach, restaurants, and shops. Comfortable king bed! Twin beds are standard; extra long twins would be more comfortable for teens and adults. Nice modern deco. Living room comfortably accommodates family of four. Plenty of sitting for eating meals at island bar or kitchen table. Bedroom closets have shelves and sliding bins built in with hanging areas and hangers. Beds and nightstands only furniture in bedrooms. Plenty of storage in kitchen and bathrooms. It’s a quiet complex and landlords want to keep it that way. In fact, they live below apartment 10. There are other residents who permanently live on the premises. First time taking dog to beach! We had a great time!

Beautifully updated apartment very close to the beach!!

This is a wonderful property. Just a couple blocks from the beach. Recently renovated with lovely furnishings and décor. The grounds are very pretty and well kept as well. Local restaurants, breweries, and wine tasting just a short walk away. We'll definitely return.

Very nice flat right by a great beach. Carpenteria is lots of fun, and the apartment is well supplied.
