About this property

Chic 2 Bedroom Condo Across from the Sea & White Sand Beach

We are just across the street from the beach, on the corner of Sandyland Road and Elm St. in the La Cabana complex.

We love our condo and take meticulous care of it. We furnish it as we would our own home, as we like to stay here at times ourselves.

Our rates include the 15% town tax that Carpinteria requires, important to know in comparing rates. We aim for a reasonable rate.

Our unit is a completely and beautifully renovated 2 bdrm condo in quiet complex- Pergo floors, granite counter tops, painted sky blue, tile bathroom floor. It is full of light, and is peaceful and comfortable.

You can walk across the street to Carpinteria Beach, one of the loveliest, cleanest beaches at the South Central Coast.

We have a year round heated swimming pool at complex, beautiful landscaping, gas grill, and the complex is meticulously maintained.

The wildlife refuge is a short walk and has excellent birding. The seal rookery is down the beach. Dolphins and whales swim offshore. Carpinteria is a lovely beachside town with good restaurants, shops, parks, artists' shops, antique stores, and palm tree lined streets.

Santa Barbara is 15 minutes up Rt. 101, with many family activities and attractions: shops; zoo; botanical gardens; bike paths; watersports, art museum, natural history museum . Summerland is a great nearby town for antiquing and many wineries are nearby. Our Carpinteria rental license is 1046-VR-21.

Another great visit

We love staying here (our second time) and La Cabana is such a nice complex. So close to the beach, easy walk into town, just perfect all around. And the weather treated us well. This is a roomy 2 bedroom and plenty of space for a family of 5. Very light and airy, very well equipped. We hope to return. Thank you!

Lovely spot

This is a great place for a family stay. It's a very spacious unit, very clean, light and airy. Very quiet complex, only a few steps away from the beach, and walking distance to many of the town shops and restaurants. With an off-street parking spot you might never need to move the car.Owner was very helpful and responsive. Would love to stay again!

Perfect spot in a wonderful place

This apartment was very well taken care of and stocked with everything you could ever need to enjoy your time at the beach. Being right across the street from the beach and having a heated pool made it even more perfect. Top marks on everything! The only complaint is that both beds were very firm, so bring a pillow topper if you like a softer mattress. Would come back again for sure!

Great Place

We stayed here close to a week. We have 2 daughters ages 5 & 7. This place is conveniently located just across from the beach and has everything you need. Pool is literally steps from the unit. Nice clean place and responsive owners. Carpinteria is a nice location if you want a quiet getaway with restaurants and shops within walking distance. Would stay here again.

Fabulous

What a fabulous condo and vacation getaway. Every detail covered. Comfortable, clean, bright, modern and quiet. Steps from beach, walked to everything downtown, all within a few short blocks.Farmers market on Thursday, wonderful fresh produce, fruit and local wares. Property manager Amy very quick on responses/communication and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend this property and location. We'll be back again.

Excellent Property for our kind of vacation!

We are a family of four that has visited Carp almost every year for the past 15. We have family in Santa Barbara. This was our first time at this property and it was great! Great beach access, kitchen with all the necessary "tools", a clean and comfortable place to relax, and great pool and bbq area to spread out. We wouldn't change a thing! Just a few exits on the hwy and you are in Santa Barbara. Our favorite Carp traditions - The Spot, the farmers market, beach sunsets, and breakfast at the Cajun Kitchen! Already looking forward to our next visit.

Great time at the beach!

We spent the month of January, location was convenient, an easy stroll to the beach and town. It's also conveniently located to the sights of Santa Barbara. The complex was quiet and well maintained, the unit was cozy and comfortable, probably best suited to a couple or a small family. Amy, the property manager, was great about emailing answers to our questions before arrival, and was very responsive while we were on site. Carp is a quaint little town. We had great dinner at Gianfranco's Trattoria, and went to Jack's Bistro twice and Oaxaca Fresh 3 times with visitors! Of course, we couldn't miss the local burger hangout, The Spot! All in all, a great stay, and we would consider renting there again!

Cabaña Carpinteria

I’ve stayed in all of the condo complexes now on Sandyland over the years and this unit and spot is now top of my list. The rental has everything you need and feels like a true home away from home. Love when the pantry has the essentials like oils, salt pepper spices etc. The unit feels well loved and taken care of. Walk everywhere. Pool was heated to perfection. And the beds were ultra comfortable. The host was super responsive and I know we’ll be back. My only tip would be to bring your own beach chairs and boogie boards. While the owner did provide them in the unit, the boards werent usable and the chairs were really well worn.

Short walk to beach.

Condo was very comfortable for our family of four. Proximity to beach, shops and restaurants was great. Everything within walking distance. Our family especially enjoyed the delicious food at Tony's restaurant just down the street. We also rented wet suits from a surf shop near by for the kids to use at the beach. We were even able to see dolphins swimming. The pool was a nice addition when the kids wanted to go for a quick swim. The other residents of the condo complex were very friendly as were people we met going for walks in the area. Condo manager Amy was wonderful to work with. Our family would stay here again and we would recommend this condo to family and friends.

About the host

Hosted by Paul Erickson

Host profile image
We live in Santa Barbara, and love the beautiful climate and outdoors we are fortunate to enjoy. We moved here from the Boston area, so it's especially nice in the winter. We have 3 boys, a youngest daughter, and all of us love coming to Carpinteria and going to the beach when we get down to our condo!

Why they chose this property

We loved the town of Carpinteria at first sight. It has a small town, community feeling, and reminded us a little of New England. We enjoy the tall palms lining the streets, expansive beaches, local shops of all kinds, warm breezes, and relaxed and friendly people. We live up in 101 in Santa Barbara but come to Carpinteria regularly because we enjoy it. There are many places to explore: wetland preserve, seal rookery, enormous greenhouses (see the orchids). The foothills are also fun to explore.

What makes this property unique

Our condo is in a small complex, La Cabana, across the street from Carpinteria Beach. Most of the condos are owner occupied, so it does not feel like the usual vacation resort. We overlook the courtyard from our second floor unit. We can go out the door in the morning, and walk on the beach in the early light or go for a swim. A short walk away is the Spot, a great local hamburger place, and in the other direction is the wetland marsh preserve. From our unit you can hear the ocean and feel the onshore breeze.
