We had some last minute travel changes and needed to find a place to stay. We came across this condo and it could not have worked out any better. Every bit of it was perfect for our stay! It was super clean, very well stocked and just a couple minutes walk to the beach. It was also a great location to walk to restaurants and shops. We parked the car the first day we got there and only got in it one other time in four days. We also appreciated the list of recommendations from the owner. We would definitely stay here again!

This is such a hidden jewel. I hesitate to write such a good review because I want to keep it secret. But truly, it was such a wonderful place for us to visit. We live in town so we had a little staycation and it was just perfect. Mark was so great and easy to communicate with. We loved our place and it was walking distance to everything. It made a gathering we had at the beach so wonderful because we were able to run back-and-forth, if we needed anything. We will definitely stay again.

Everything was straight forward and accurate. All needed amenities were there, perfect for a stay one short block to the beach. It probably is "the best deal in Carpinteria," a small funky town nestled along 101 between Ocean and mountains.

We've stayed at many places in Carpinteria over the years...this one was one of the best! Close to beach, super clean, affordable and has everything you need. Mark was very quick to respond to any questions. The condo is a perfect place as its walkable to town.BTW... Carpintieria recently opened "Linden Square" - a great venue with restaurants and outdoor seating. Such a great addition to the town (although we love all the other restaurants too).We definitely will be back!

Great beach getaway!

This place was great for a little weekend away with our small family. Everything we needed was provided, and we were walking distance to the beach, playground, shops, and restaurants. The complex is quiet too and parking and accessibility was very easy. We would love to stay here again!

Really enjoyed our stay here. The location is just fantastic, we walked into town with our 10 month old each morning for coffee and breakfast. Really really nice staying right in the heart of downtown and one block from the beach. The upstairs was pretty hot during our stay but the entire coast was experiencing a heat wave and there isn’t much to be done about that. Mark reached out and mentioned he had purchased a window AC unit which I think will really help. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you Mark!

We have had an unusual heat wave in S CA and most places along the coast do not have AC. We are going to place a windowless Portable AC unit upstairs and this will help to cool down the space when needed.

We had an incredible time during our stay in Carpinteria. This was truly a jewel and the location was excellent. The beach was a two minute walk and the Spot was a five minute walk. Our bedroom had a street view and also allowed the cool ocean breeze at night.We also enjoyed the information we received from the host. Our communication was really good and all the instructions for the WiFi and remotes were laid out well We also appreciated that the pricing was reasonable for the proximity of the ocean. We would highly recommend this listing for a great stay in Carp!!!!! Be back soon!
