My daughter and I stayed over a holiday weekend for her graduation from Pacifica. The house is super well located for walking to the beach and town. Large garage and great backyard. Pet friendly which was a god send as the pet sitter backed out. Ample kitchen and dining area well equipped. Cute lower level bathroom and study/sleep area. 2nd floor large cathedral ceiling living dining area and 2 large king bedrooms. Mine had a walk in closet with cot that we could have used for another person. Shower was nice and hot and strong. Would definitely stay here again!!!

This place was perfect for us. It had enough space to provide privacy for a family with adult children. It was stocked with everything you would need, and it was organized, comfortable, and clean. We loved walking into downtown for browsing, finding treasures at the antique stores and boutiques, and trying out restaurants. The beach is a really close walk too. Our favorite eats were the Worker Bee for Breakfast and the little hamburger place by the railroad tracks. We also liked to sit by the fire pits at The Brass Bird where they have delicious coffee and pastries. The town is bike and family friendly, the backyard is good sized and has a grill and plenty of outdoor seating, and the location in town is convenient and feels friendly and safe. We rode around almost every day on the bicycles that come with the house. We would come back anytime! We are from the Carolinas, so getting to Carpinteria was a little challenging. We recommend the Santa Barbara Air Bus, but a couple we met told us the train is very easy too. We opted for the bus because it picks you up at the terminal and the times worked better for us. One thing to know about the Air Bus option is you have to roll your suitcases for a mile to get from the drop off to the beach house. We didn’t mind the walk, and it wasn’t bad at all. We highly recommend Channel Islands National Park! It’s an incredible experience with great hiking, kayaking, and boat tours of the painted caves. A must! Thank you, Ruta!

The Beach House was great for us! Very close to the main street of Carpinteria as well as the beach. We had a dog and an eleven year old with us and both enjoyed the house. The porches were great for relaxing an taking in the scenery. Beautiful backyard as well. The home owner was very responsive and easy to contact. We hope to be able to return someday!

Great spot for a few getaway days in wonderfully charming Carpinteria. Accommodations were perfect for a dad, 13yo daughter and 11yo son. We didn’t use our car once as everything we needed was a bike ride away. The bikes and beach wagon in the garage were so helpful to facilitate our stay. And a fantastic beach (clean, nice sand, decent waves, clean public restroom) was only blocks away. Make sure you check out the vandenburg launch schedule as we had a great view of a rocket launch. Would definitely come back!!!

Great location. The bedrooms were large and had one king and a twin roll away in each. Great view from the upstairs. Very close to the train tracks, but it did not seem to bother anyone. The window coverings in the bedroom do not do a great job blocking light so everyone was up early. There is not a hot tub like is listed on the front page, but it has a deep bath tub.

We stayed at this lovely and clean VRBO. The owner was very friendly, kind and her home was very welcoming. The house is close to everything, restaurants, Beach and shops. We will come again!!!

Ruta is an excellent host with great communication. The location couldn’t be better with easy walking beach and downtown access. There are 2 bedrooms upstairs with king beds. The rollaway beds in each of those bedrooms would be a challenge for any adult as they look highly uncomfortable. There is a blow up queen mattress upstairs that works great. Small kids could sleep on the couches upstairs. The upstairs bathroom is fine but needs updating. If someone needed access to the downstairs bathroom during the overnight hours, it would be a challenge to make your way down there. That bathroom is also in need of an update as it’s very cold on winter mornings and has carpet on the floors around the toilet and shower. Also the property backs up to the train tracks so if that is a concern, you may want to take that into account. This is a nice property in a nice neighborhood with a great landlord. It will be even better when they are able to make some updates. I’m thankful we were able to stay there during Thanksgiving.

Our foursome stayed for a few nights while we attended a family wedding nearby. Our host was phenomenal. She was proactive in communicating with us and very helpful. The house had two king beds which was important to us! It was located in a charming community near the beach and the quaint downtown. We didn't spend a lot of time here, but the sleep was sound and the beds very comfy.
