Not well maintained (have photos) Dirty with other people’s grunge ...stove top, pots & pans not properly washed still had food stuck on, BBQ had someone else’s food stuck on it . The hair dryer was rusted and didn’t work . A bunch of miss matched sheets & towels . No detailed instructions for the (3) TV remotes ..it wouldn’t run twice in (10) days Very difficult to use the Lockbox ..again not complete instructions ..in the rain at night ..was almost impossible ..took both hands and nowhere to put anything out of the rain. Management was not easy to work with. Sorry to have to post this ..but it was probably one of the worst places I’ve ever stayed and I travel a lot.

This condo was in a great location, close to beach and town. Well stocked and comfortable for our weeklong stay.

We loved this little condo!! Although it is small, it suited my family of 4 just perfectly! We loved the quick walk to the beach and town. We also loved that we were able to walk 5 minutes to the train station to take the train to Santa Barbara. Carpinteria is such a quaint little beach community it is perfect for a beach get away!! We will definitely be back and will absolutely stay in this condo!!

Condo was as good as expected. Location was very good. Restaurants and shops in a walkable distance and right next to the beach. Communication with Mike Farris was very good. We would definetely come back again!

The unit was clean and steps away from the beach. It had all the necessary amenities for a great stay. I would rent this unit again.

This property is ideal for a vacation in Carpinteria. The condo is well appointed and offers everything one needs. It is very close to the beach, as well as within a comfortable walking distance to restaurants, etc. in downtown Carpinteria. The property owner/manager was very responsive to a couple of questions we had and available by email, text and phone.

The apartment was about a block and a half from the beach but was small with a loft where the queen size bed was. The apt is loaded with everything you would need but is small. Bathroom is upstairs. Beach was great but Carp gets lots of overcast in the summer/fall. Bed was a little lumpy (recommend get a new mattress) and after 10 days I did have a hurt back. Small BBQ but no patio. The town is like going back in time. Would come back (especially if they got a new mattress).

We stayed here for a week in early August - family of 4 with two girls (7 & 4). Size - The place is a little small but still very functional - you can definitely make it work. Very clean, well organized, and pretty much everything you need. The condo is well represented by the description online. We used the kitchen daily and the grill outside came in handy. Cost - It's one of the cheapest locations that we found online for being that close to the beach. I think it's well worth the cost. Location - Perfect location. It's a block from the beach and there are public bathrooms at the midpoint. The outdoor showers there weren't working which was a bummer but not a major deal. The condo is on a street that abuts a marsh, so: 1) it's very quiet, unlike the downtown area a few blocks away 2) there are beautiful views, sunsets, trails within a 2 minute walk from the door. As mentioned, it's close enough to downtown - 10 minute walk to restaurants, stores, and a playground. For some reason all of the stores close at like 5:30 which is dumb, but what can you do. Overall: The place is small but cozy and well worth the money. You wouldn't want to spend the entire day in the place but why are you at the beach if you want to do that anyway. It's perfect for meals, lazy mornings, movie nights, and sleeping - otherwise you're at the beach, downtown, or somewhere else outside. Definitely recommend and will most likely return

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at Sandpiper. The design is fresh and inviting, and the place is only 1 block from the beach. There are some water toys provided, as well as beach chairs, beach towels and umbrellas. The kitchen has everything you'll need to feel right at home. I slept on the sofa bed, and my two kids slept in the cozy loft. It was perfect for our "before school getaway"! I recommend you bring your bikes, park your car, and never drive the whole time you're here. Restaurants and shopping are walking distance from the condo. Mike, the manager, has been wonderful to work with...very friendly and got back to me right away with any questions. We would definitely stay here again.

Place was perfect. Location was so close to beach and town. Had a great week!

Besides being convenient to the Carpinteria City Beach, downtown, the Salt Marsh, hiking trail, the condo complex is friendly and Mike is very responsive to your needs. For a short term (week) or a month or more, cannot beat this property.

Our entire experience from booking, to staying for a month, to checking out, was just perfect!!! The location was so convenient and everything was there that we needed to make this "work stay" a vacation as well. Thank you and we hope we will have the pleasure of staying again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay . It was clean and well furnished and we were only one block from the beach , and 30 minutes from Santa Barbara , which we really enjoyed.

The condo was impeccably clean, well stocked and just approximately 200 yards from the beach. It was quiet at night and convenient to downtown Carpinteria, and all the surrounding towns. A great little condo in a great little beach town.

The location is outstanding! Walk to everything. The unit was as advertised. Mike Farris was a pleasure to deal with! Not only quick response, but extremely considerate. There were some issues with the fire and subsequent mudslides in the area and Mike couldn't have been more accommodating. I would not hesitate to stay here again. Carpentaria is now our favorite beach town!

Enjoyed the proximity to the beach and the lovely neighborhood. A fine little condo.

This was our second stay at the condo and it was every bit as great as the first. Simply put, this is a great value. The condo itself is cute and user friendly whether staying for a week or a month or more. The location is ideal -- a short walk to the beach and a short walk into town (bars, restaurants, groceries, shopping). Carpinteria is a great little California beach town. The condo is a short walk to the Amtrak station and access to Santa Barbara, Ventura and beyond. Bus service also a few blocks away. Uber is available, but sometimes costly because of lack of available drivers, but still a good deal for specific point-to-point rides. Condo is well stocked including a locker with everything needed for a day at the beach. Off street parking and a secure area for bikes. Above all, management is outstanding and very willing to work with you to make your stay enjoyable and ensure that the condo meets your expectations. We will be back again next year.

Location is a short walk to the beach, and also an easy walk to the main street in town. Condo is clean and comfortable and decorated very beachy, with a fully-equipped kitchen, perfect for two but could accommodate a small family. Beach chairs, umbrella, and toys available. Property manager Mike is a pleasure to work with, very helpful and accommodating. Security deposit returned in a timely manner. We highly recommend this place for a beach getaway, and would definitely come back again.

Great location. Great value. Place is really cute and open design doesn't feel cramped. A short block watch to the beach. Condo comes with beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards and various beach accessories. Condo itself is well equipped, especially the kitchen. Laundry on site. Short walk into town for night life and grocery store and shorter walk to Amtrak station/trolley stop. Trolley takes you all around town. Inexpensive bus service to tourist spots from Santa Barbara to Ojai to Ventura. A nice hike to the seal rookery by trail or along the beach. The Salt Marsh right across the street provides interesting views and a great place for short walks. This is simply a great place to stay. Mike Farris is a joy to work with, responsive to questions (damage deposit returned within days). We stayed a month and will definitely be back.
