About this property

Snowbirds! 2 BR Condo Across the Street from Beach Heated Pool - 28 Day Special!

Short or long stay - note 50% discount for 28 day or longer stay. Guests for 2 or more months are welcome.

Welcome to Carpinteria! 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. The condo has lots of sunlight, views of the mountains, and cross breezes (we are an end-unit.)

The condo is a completely and beautifully renovated 2 bdrm condo in a quiet complex- Pergo floors, granite counter tops, newly painted sky blue, tile bathroom floor. It is full of light, and is peaceful and comfortable. There is one bathroom with a tub and shower.

You can walk across the street to Carpinteria Beach, one of the loveliest, cleanest beaches at the South Central Coast. We provide beach towels, beach chairs and toys to take over to the sand with you.

The swimming pool is heated, and the grounds are beautifully landscaped, There are gas grill for your use, and an onsite laundry facility.

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 for walking around, 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 rates include the 15% town tax that Carpinteria requires, important to know in comparing rates (no tax for 28+ day rental.) We aim for a reasonable rate. Our Carpinteria rental license is 1046-VR-21.

Nicely upgraded condo only 1 block to beautiful sandy beach. Quiet complex, ample parking, attractively landscaped. Fully stocked kitchen made mealtime easy. Paul was easy to contact and quickly answered any questions we had. Carpinteria is a wonderful small beach town with stylish downtown offering many shops and restaurants to visit. We will be back.

Great location

The place was perfect for your family. It was clean, had all the amenities we needed. It’s a very cute place. The pool was nice to have right outside our door. Having to only walk a block to the beach was amazing. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to stay here again.

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!

We absolutely loved this property! We’re hoping we’ll have another tournament here next year so we can stay here again. Very cute place. Super close to the beach. Walking distance to food and shops. The kids loved the pool. The host answered my questions very promptly and was very helpful. We had a great vacation!

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!

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.

We will be back!!

We had a wonderful stay at Paul’s place in Carp. You can’t beat the location, and the complex itself was very quiet compared to others nearby, even during the summer. We had a small hiccup with the property, but Paul answered our first phone call and had it all handled within hours very professionally. We will be back!

Great week here in Carp

We recently stayed at this property for a week while attending a UCSB graduation, and our experience was nothing short of perfect. The location was ideal, allowing us to walk everywhere – from the grocery store and restaurants to trails overlooking the ocean and, most importantly, the beach. At low tide, we enjoyed an incredible 8-mile roundtrip walk on the beach, passing the seal sanctuary when the seals were out to sea.The accommodations were excellent. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen was well-stocked with common staples like salt, sugar, and olive oil, which made our stay even more convenient. We enjoyed breakfast every morning and even cooked a few dinners, satisfying our college kid's craving for home-cooked meals. The property’s pool and laundry facilities were also a great bonus and were frequently used. I can't speak to the tv as we didn't turn it on the entire time. Communication with the owner was superb. He was very responsive and even came to assist us when we had trouble with the door keypad.Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and we would definitely return if we have the opportunity. Highly recommended!

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.

This two bedroom condo is immaculate and the location is outstanding. There’s a lovely quiet pool right outside the front door and the beach is a one min walk away. You can also walk into town in five minutes and there’s lots of restaurants and little shops. We had a delicious dinner at Dom’s and went into Santa Barbara most days. I only wish I lived here!

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.
