Comfortable, clean, silent, this place had everything we needed for a very nice weekend in Carpinteria. Just a few steps from the beach, and walking distance from the charming downtown. We will be definitely booking again.
We had a sweet stay at Tropic Shores. Short walk to the beach. Had perfect weather everyday!!! Nice small beach community without the crowds. Our place had everything we needed, clean, comfortable bed, nice towels. Lots of great people in Carpinteria!!! We’ll be back.
Elena’s property is so close to the beautiful beach and the welcoming town of Carpinteria, and even better for us, the part of the beach that allows dogs starts right at her road.
She had all of the items we needed for a fun stay away including a mini fridge/freezer, dishes, a griddle for cooking, a coffee maker with provided coffee, some beach towels and chairs, and a very welcoming sleeping area. And, honestly, the bathroom might have been my favorite part. Very clean shower with soft towels and she provided toiletries for a couple days worth of our stay.
My husband and I really enjoyed our time staying here, and would love to stay again.
My only suggestion for you with this rental is that if you’re a very loud person or have someone coming with you who is, this might not be the best rental for you as it’s very close to multiple other units who may be easily disturbed by loud noises.
But if you’re pretty quiet and chill, maybe this is the place for you!

Hi Jessica, thank you so much for honest review. It is nice to hear that guest like you appreciate and love our place. Hope to see again.
The place is great and as advertised. The beach is just a short distance and the marsh is across the street. Perfectly great week plus.

Disliked: Listing accuracy
they need an air conditioner
room is adjacent to dryer and cleaner and makes room about 10-15 degrees hotter than outside ..some noise to but definately people should be aware of the issue of it being too hot
We thoroughly enjoyed our time. The place had all the amenities we needed. Communication was thorough as was the check in process. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.
I have stayed in a lot of VRBO’s and I must say that these owners did everything super nice
It wasn’t secondhand stuff because renters are there everything was nice they provided everything you needed for your entire stay including coffee and drinks in the refrigerator so generous so nice such a pleasant little place to stay
nice easy walk to the beach loved it
Michael's place was clean and the amenities were very thoughtful. The location is super close to the beach and a salt marsh with a lot of cool birds. It's also very close to the restaurants and shops in Carpenteria. Would highly recommend.
Well maintained, ideally located studio apartment in the charming and laid-back beach town of Carpinteria. Check-in was easy, and a lot of thought had been given to how to make the property user-friendly. A cute little patio attached to the apartment was perfect for afternoon reading. The glorious beach is less than five minutes away. And within 15 minutes you can drive to dinner in Santa Barbara. Very relaxing trip.
