About this property
Apt 2: Fresh Light Unit with Private Patio, Steps to Beach
Designed with families in mind, this spacious apartment has an extra large master bedroom with in-suite bathroom and king bed, and a second bedroom set up with a pair of twin beds. Gather around the Dining Room at mealtimes before retiring to a sectional sofa. A mint-green color palette gives the living area an airy feel, and seaside artwork serves as a reminder that the beach is steps away. Elsewhere, beautiful art graces the walls.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Mike Krumm
Carpinteria has been our family's favorite vacation destination since I was a small child in the 1950's. After several years of camping at Carpinteria State Campgrounds, our parents decided to build Tropic Shores Apartments and make this our second home. A few years ago, our parents both passed, away after a full and long life, leaving Tropic Shores to the four brothers, Tom, Richard, Mike, and Jeff. Since we all feel a very special connection to Carpinteria, we decided to remodel the building from ground up, and keep it in the family for our children to enjoy.
Why they chose this property
Tropic Shores is a small building of 16 units, all located with a center courtyard of lush landscaping...some of which were planted by our father over 50 year ago. The building is very quiet and your are sure to find it easy to relax and re-energize. While we're not right on the beach, we are located so close that you can hear the waves crashing at night. 200 steps and you're on the sand. Directly across the street is the Carpinteria Salt Marsh, which is basically a bird sanctuary. You may enjoy quiet walks through the Salt Marsh watching for birds or other animals while watching the sun rise or set.
What makes this property unique
Carpinteria is one of the last remaining small beach towns founded during the mid 1900's, essentially unchanged over the last 5 or 6 decades. It's a town where you may feel safe allowing your children to walk or bicycle through town on their own. Named "The World's Safest Beach" because of the protection of the Channel Islands, the surf rarely gets very large...but still large enough to enjoy the waves. When you're ready for something more exciting, there are dozens of wineries, golf courses, movie theaters, and restaurants in nearby Santa Barbara and Ventura.
