About this property

Beachfront Condo | Ocean Views, Steps to Sand, Dining & Charming Village Streets

​​​​​​​2 BEDROOMS | 2 BATHROOMS | 4 GUESTS
Carpinteria License Number - 1079-VR-18

This beachside condominium is just three steps away from "The World's Safest Beach" in Carpinteria. Exclusively brought to you by Paradise Retreats, it is the perfect spot for water sports, beach enthusiasts, and those who love the views but prefer not to get sandy. You’ll be just one block from Linden Ave to enjoy burgers from The Spot, locally brewed beer at Island Brewing Company, and an upscale seafood dinner from Little Dom’s.

The first-level apartment offers big picture windows as the ideal spot to watch sunsets over the ocean and dolphins cruising through the Santa Barbara Channel. An open kitchen, and dining room with trendy decor complete the beachy vibes. The condo complex also offers a beachside patio with two gas grills to cook outdoors.

PLEASE NOTE: During the winter months (November-March), the City may erect a sand wall to protect all of the beachfront properties from winter swells and storms. While it protects homes, it does have the potential to block the view of the ocean from lower levels of the home.

HIGHLIGHTS:
- Located on the Beach!
- Walk to Downtown Dining and Shops
- Ocean Views from the Living Spaces

Very comfortable and well stocked/equipped home leaving us very sad to leave! As a VRBO owner myself, I appreciate staying in a home that doesn’t feel like a hotel! The management company was responsive and easy to deal with.

Beach walks

This cozy little beach condo is perfectly located right on the beach and a half mile walk into town. With bike trails and hiking trails nearby. We loved our stay even with the cool foggy days. We headed up to Ojai for a day to get some sunshine which is a great day trip! I would stay here again!

Great property.

As described and on a beautiful beach. However lovely Adirondack chairs shown not there. Small detail, but nevertheless disappointing. Also noted by previous guests, there is a unit above and footsteps above can be a bit of a downer if you are not expecting a little noise. Would rent this property again.

We hope you enjoyed the sun and sand! Thank you for taking the time to review us and provide input. We will definately look into the misplaced chairs. Our sincere apologies. Respectfully, The Paradise Retreats Team
