Beautiful 2-bedroom Condo Across from the Sand!

10/10 Excellent

"Priscilla was the best property manager, going out of her way to walk me around the property and let me check in early ahead of my family arriving. The kitchen was stocked with utensils and pots/pans, plenty of beach chairs, the outdoor bbq area was easy to use, the laundry room was clean and reasonable. Very comfortable unit."

Beautiful 2 bed w/Ocean view - private wifi

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay- thank you!"

Beach Shanty - Coastal 1BR Retreat Near Beach & Downtown

8/10 Good

"Ideal location! Walking in Carp is so lovely and this was steps from the beach and all the shops. The property was fine- very dated and no extras. The king bed was comfortable and the kids slept fine in the pullout and the bed under the stairs. Upstairs had slanted roof, had to bend over when getting dressed no view or windows, just a skylight and the downstairs window looked straight into a hedge on a very slim walkway. Great place if all you need to do is sleep or it’s just two people. The price is for the location and it’s clean with responsive hosts who were very welcoming and accommodating."

Just a few steps from Carpinteria State Beach. Bright, clean and cozy.

10/10 Excellent
