Convenient location.
We really like this place. We’ve stayed multiple times because the location is great (walkable to the beach, the marsh, and stores and restaurants) and the unit is clean and mostly well stocked—it just needs more dish towels!

Great time
Close to the beach, stores and beach. Clean grounds and unit!!
Had a great time! Good location. Good timing in spring with great weather. Loved the condo and the pool. Loved walking practically everywhere. Had a few ants show up, but we were able to take of them quickly
Thank you for hosting us at your lovely property! We had a fantastic time, especially enjoying the pools, which were a highlight of our stay. The combination of staying at your place on Friday night and camping on Saturday added a unique and fun twist to our trip.To help future guests, we suggest noting in the listing that the property does not have air conditioning. While Carpinteria rarely needs it, we happened to visit during a hot and humid spell, so this detail would be helpful upfront. Additionally, we only discovered the availability of boogie boards and other amenities as we were leaving—it might be great to highlight these in the listing or welcome materials to ensure guests can fully enjoy them.Overall, we had a wonderful experience and appreciate your hospitality. Thank you again!
This is the second time we stayed for spring break the condo great very clean when we arrive but now the carpet on the stairs and the throw pillows is not very clean
We had a wonderful time. The location was perfect and we were able to walk to the beach daily. The unit owner supplied boogie boards, sand chairs, and umbrellas. Our only two suggestions would be that the management company should provide more paper towels, napkins, and garbage bags and it would have been nice to have something to get the tar off our feet (walking on the beach leaves tar on feet). The interior stairs were a bit of a concern since we had two small children with us. Everything considered, it was a great vacation. Lots of nice restaurants close by the condo and only a short drive/bike ride to Santa Barbara.
Check in was easy our family had a great spring break condo was clean and functional

Great stay
The condo was clean and comfortable. The pools and hot tub are a nice addition. Hot tub use is now for everyone over age 6 and above. The only thing I would be aware of is you can hear noise from the first floor of the unit on the second floor quite easily, but we made do. Overall, a very nice stay and we'd be happy to return.
The property was nice and clean. The lower bunk bed mattress was not comfortable. Had a sink hole in it. The upstairs bathroom sink did not drain well. But overall, the apartment itself was a nice place to stay
We had a very comfortable stay over 4th of July weekend. We were 2 adults and 3 kids ages 10 and under. The second bedroom has a bunk bed that actually provides 3 beds - a double bed bottom with a twin top bunk and a twin trundle pull out under the double. The condo is well stocked with beach equipment (photo attached). It’s an easy walk across the street to the sandy beach.
Great property clean, great location, and had all the essentials except the WIFI was extremely weak ... so difficult to use our phones ...and should have cleaning solution to spray counters ... otherwise great place !
The home is perfectly located close to downtown (7 min walk), a block from the beach, and the salt marsh reserve (good walking trails). The home itself is an older condo, but clearly remondeled and taken care of. No ac, but if you run the ceiling fans and have the windows open it cools nicely. I noticed additional fans in closets for hotter months (my stay was in october), but i didn’t need them. The balcony does not have a beach view, but over looks the parking lot, and other apartments. Not a deal breaker because if you wan the beach, it’s right outside the front of the complex. I stayed alone as i was there for a wedding, but there is a second bedroom with bunk beds, so a family or small group could make it work. A pool and hot tub open 10a to 10p, as well as on site laundry (coin operated, or you can pay with an app). One of the nicest things is that the complex is a quiet community. I really didn’t hear much of any noise after quiet hours (10pm), which made for a very peaceful stay. Don’t come here expecting to party, go downtown for that haha. All together a fun little sleepy beach town. I will be visiting again.Also the bed was very comfy!
