We had an enjoyable Thanksgiving break at the house. The set up was great for two families to be able to be connected through a hallway. Location is great. Right on the beach and walking distance to town and restaurants. It was clean and had a great view.
It was so roomy and well equipped. The location in so perfect. It made for a perfect family holiday

Thrilled to hear Seahorse Retreat helped in making a perfect family holiday. The sandy beach location is a big bonus! Thank you for the review and we hope we have the opportunity to host you in the future. Sincerely, Paradise Retreats
Comfy beds and pillowsEverything you need in the kitchenEasy access between condos, but also easy to find your own space when you need itFun dune in the winter on the beach for sand surfingDolphins and seals and pelicans and beach walks and sunsets and sunrises and tide pools
We have been staying in Carpinteria almost every summer for a week for the last 35 years. We have rented several different beach front places over the years.
This place was the best one of them all. Very spacious, very clean, and was well supplied with all the necessities.
This property is not luxurious but very nice. Ample parking and good amenities. The furnishings are a little dated but very functional and comfortable. Best part by far is the convenience of being right on the sand at Carpenteria Beach. Location can't be beat and Carpenteria is a great community. Would recommend to anyone.

This was a wonderful beach rental! The owners definitely care about the renters having a comfortable and easy experience. The bedding and pillows were lovely and very comfortable. There was an abundance of kitchen supplies, which made it so easy to start enjoying the trip right away. The layout is so helpful. We were two families with small kids. In this duplex, we’d set the kids up on one side for dinner and a movie, while the grownups enjoyed wine and dinner on the other side. Our kids loved the book nook that was stocked with plenty of children’s and adult books. Lots of board games available too! Waking up in the morning on the top floor is so great because you can see over the dune the the ocean. Being right on the beach was so fun. The kids enjoyed using the boogie boards (that are stored in the outdoor closet) to slide down the dune for hours and hours each day. Even the parking was perfect. I’m thrilled with this place and will absolutely be coming back if it’s available
