Our stay was great, so enhanced by the very comfortable, calm beautiful space. Every feature is updated version. Loved the stylishly cool bathroom and its open floor walk-in shower. The direct ocean view makes it all come together to top rating in wonderful Carpenteria, a big favorite!

The efficiency is very clean, well decorated , large comfortable sectional, large bathroom, lovely robes, nice dishes, good view in a small beach community. It was very good for a few night stays given we attended a wedding. Microwave and fridge are good for a few grocery items and take out. Freezer would be nice, or ice available. The beach is very lovely but I didn't feel compelled to walk as often as I normally do, because of the rocks you have to climb. It's not a big obstacle but I can see how it would be with small children and beach equipment. The train that goes by for 15 seconds a few times a day is not a big deal, in fact I thought lovely, remi niscent of the old santa fe or Polar express. Jeff quickly responded to requests and excellent to work with. Easy drive to adorable Monticito and Santa Barbara for shopping and great restaurants.

This was my at least fourth stay at the Surf Loft - it truly is my Happy Place! Love the comforts of the loft & in close proximity to so many great places. Plus, Jeff is a great host! Already looking at my future dates for my next visit! Thank you Jeff for sharing this amazing place!

We stayed here in late May, and although it was cloudy and cool, the property was comfortable and beautiful. Our host was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Probably the only setback was that the Nespresso machine did not work, but we were able to walk to a cafe to get coffee. Also, it wasn’t a problem for us because it was too cold to swim, but apparently Padaro beach is known for great white sharks, so that is something to consider. Highly recommend this stay, but be careful of the weather because it would have been 10x better had it been warm and sunny.

So close to the beach, so close to Santa Barbara, a beautiful spot to get away from it all. The train does roll by, but the property is very well built so the sound is not bad at all. Thanks for letting us stay, we will be back.

Beautiful property in a beautiful place! You can’t beat the location and the property is awesome. Close to restaurants, shops, Carpinteria and Santa Barbara. We’ve been to a lot of VRBO’s but this one is special.

Just what I was looking for. Nicely appointed and comfortable rental, great location, and I loved hearing the ocean at night. So peaceful. I’d love to go back one day.

We really enjoyed our weekend at this beautiful apartment.

Beautiful property, well supplied, and clean. Made my wedding so smooth being able to walk from Rincon to this rental.

Everything was presented exactly as advertised. Exceptionally clean, comfortable and conveniently located. It was our first stop on a broader California trip from the UK; the sound of the ocean and beach walks on the door step was a perfect start to our vacation.

Relaxation extraordinaire. Loved our time here!

Awesome location, very clean everything perfect for a weekend getaway

Loved everything about the stay - including the train which was really a non issue. Incredible access to a pristine beach and gorgeous views. Will be back. Thank you!!!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. It was a such an amazing stay. The dolphin welcoming committee was splendid and the views were mesmerizing. The home was exceedingly comfortable and relaxing. A pure delight! We are grateful, thank you again.

The large windows and high ceiling provided an excellent view of the Pacific. The studio apartment is new and has up to date appliances. The beach was a short walk away. The owner provided coffee, shampoo, beach towels, beach chairs and an umbrella. We appreciated the recommendations for restaurants in nearby Montecito. We hope to return next year!

By far and away the best unit I have ever stayed in from VRBO. Owner is super attentive and accommodating! Can't wait to book again!

This is my 3rd stay at the Surf Loft - it is my happy place indeed! I love everything about this property & each time I depart I start thinking about my next visit.

Our second time at this VRBO. Both times were great

Property was fantastic in every way. No expense spared inside and it’s rare that you experience a place that exceeds your expectations and this one did! I will definitely use again.

Great amenities, especially the fuzzy bathrobes, looking forward to staying there again!

This place is gorgeous, quiet and comfortable. Some mention has been made of the train in other reviews but I found the train to be a non-issue. The train runs a few times a day and passes the property in seconds. I was more concerned about the proximity to highway 101, but that too is a non-issue--with the windows open in the front all you can hear is the ocean. We took many walks and it's a great base for cycling in both Ventura and Santa Barbara. Highly recommend!

We definitely want to come back. The view, the ocean sounds, the easy walk to the beach, shops and restaurants - all of this - and even a comfy bed and cozy robes. It was absolutely fabulous!

Wonderful oceanviews throughout and totally quiet. All you hear is the ocean. Very nice beach and good places to eat nearby. Ideal for a romantic weekend.

Jeff was great, property beautiful. Will be back

Cozy, clean and perfect location. Second stay and we will be back!! My happy place! Thanks Jeff!

will definitely want to stay here again!

My husband I spent the weekend here and it was amazing! The view was breathtaking, accommodations were spotless and the bed super comfy. We can’t wait to go back. Our host was terrific as well. Highly recommend if you are looking for a romantic getaway. We even ran into Kevin Costner.

Good view. The proximity of the train was a little close. Otherwise nice accommodations

A great place to escape SoCal in SoCal

Amazing views, very cool location

Even more gorgeous than expected! This place is absolutely stunning. Everything from start to finish was fabulous. Highly reccomend!!

This place is perfect - exactly as described and pictured. Across from a very nice, quiet beach and walking distance to wonderful restaurants great for all meals. Well decorated and plenty of space. Sitting on the patio watching the sunset is as good as it gets. We will be back and hope to check out the other Beachin' Companies properties as well. Thank you.
