About this property

Apt 10: Modern Luxury bright breezy steps to beach

Extra large 2nd floor apartment with huge modern kitchen, Ceasarstone counter tops, stainless steel appliances, beautiful high-end furnishings, vinyl wood-look floors.  This is bright 2nd floor unit  with lots of windows, ceiling fans in every room, and a very quiet and private atmosphere.  Beautiful newly remodeled  2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment with brand new modern furnishings and amenities throughout, newly furnished in 2020. 
This recently renovated complex (2018) is half a block from the nicest beaches of Carpinteria and directly across from the Salt Marsh Reserve.  Super quiet location, 200 yards from the sand, and walking distance to the shops and restaurants.  This unit was recently furnished with high-quality contemporary leather and walnut furniture and contemporary art decor.  
Carpinteria is one of the last standing little beach towns in California, essentially unchanged in over 50 years.  The city is limited in growth based by its physical boarders, making the entire town only about 1 mile square.  Dozens of smaller mom and pop restaurants and cute beachy shops.  Its a town where you young children can walk or bicycle safely, visiting old favorite shops like Robitelle's Candy shop, and The Spot burger joint.  Then there's the beach!  Protected by the Anacapa Island chain, Carpinteria is known as the World's Safest Beach.  Your dogs will love it too, as the beach from our street (Ash Avenue) Northward, dogs are allowed with leashes. (If allowing dogs off-leash...be aware that the police occasionally ticket off-leash dogs and the ticket is expensive.  
We're located about 10 miles from world renown Santa Barbara, and 15 miles from the city of Ventura.  Looking for. some shopping?  Camarillo Outlet Mall is located 30 miles to the South.  Northward you find dozens of wineries, Solvang, and all directions have dozens of great golf courses.  Whether you're interested in shopping, dining, kayaking, whale watching, golfing, or just relaxing on the beach, Carpinteria vacation will become a fond memory that you and your family will yearn to repeat year after year.  All of Carpinteria is easily walked in about an hour.  There is also a cute public trolly and bicycles to rent (mostly summer).  Amtrak stops many times each day for fast easy trip to Santa Barbara and points beyond.  LAX is the International airport that serves the area, about 2 hours South.  The smaller Santa Barbara Airport is about 30 minutes away.

Wonderful holiday getaway
We spent the long Thanksgiving weekend here and had a great stay. The complex is literally a block away from a gorgeous beach - we'd grab one of the beach chairs and hang out, or go for a sunset stroll, or head south on a longer walk to see the seal sanctuary. It's also an easy walk to cafes in the town. There is a comfy couch for watching TV, a dining table for eating together, plus a well-equipped kitchen (Vitamix blender + Keurig coffee maker!). The king bed was very comfy; the twin beds for our college-age kids were maybe a bit small, but they didn't complain. I'd recommend bringing your own bottled water; the tap water is very hard/mineralized so I felt better about not drinking it directly from the tap. But great water pressure! We really enjoyed our stay.

Apt. 10 Family of 4 with dog.
Great pet friendly apt. upstairs just a short walk to beach, restaurants, and shops. Comfortable king bed! Twin beds are standard; extra long twins would be more comfortable for teens and adults. Nice modern deco. Living room comfortably accommodates family of four. Plenty of sitting for eating meals at island bar or kitchen table. Bedroom closets have shelves and sliding bins built in with hanging areas and hangers. Beds and nightstands only furniture in bedrooms. Plenty of storage in kitchen and bathrooms. It’s a quiet complex and landlords want to keep it that way. In fact, they live below apartment 10. There are other residents who permanently live on the premises. First time taking dog to beach! We had a great time!

Comfy Get-Away Steps From the Beach
This is a wonderful property. Just a couple blocks from the beach. Recently renovated with lovely furnishings and décor. The grounds are very pretty and well kept as well. Local restaurants, breweries, and wine tasting just a short walk away. We'll definitely return.

About the host

Hosted by Mike Krumm

Host profile image
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.
