Spring Break Fun

It was the perfect spot for our family and definitely affordable. It is a very close walk to the beach and downtown. The property felt clean, it was also quiet at night and it being a downstairs unit was a plus. The kids also enjoyed the pool. I would definitely stay again as Carpinteria is our favorite place to be.

What an awesome place!

My 3 kiddos and I had such a great vacation! The chairs, bogeyboards, and umbrellas were very much appreciated for our long days at the beach. We would walk the very short distance to the beach for the day, then walk to dinner at one of the restaurants nearby. It was a wonderful reset before school starts!

Perfect Carpinteria location

Loved our stay, everything was clean, and tons of supplies in the apartment. The apartment complex has the friendliest neighbors too! A block walk to the beach. There is no A/C so it gets a little stuffy in the unit. But just open the windows and a great breeze comes thru. Super easy check-in and the complex is very safe. Will definitely stay here again.

Beach trip at La Cabana

This is very nice condo, very clean and nicely decorated. It was actually nicer than I thought! The neighborhood is quiet and the complex is well taken care of. The condo has a lot of nice touches including beach gear, games and books. My husband and I traveled with our adult son, who slept on a fold out couch. We enjoyed the patio area outside for coffee in the morning. It’s an easy walk to the beach, which is where we spent most of our time. It was very enjoyable.

This was the perfect location for us! Steps away from the ocean, downtown Carpinteria and the Salt Marsh and a short drive to see the seals. We were also close to our new grandbaby, and got to see her every day after she was born. We would stay here again and have shared the info with other family members.

We had a great time. Nice for a beach get away. Only complaint is that you listed pool, but pool was way too cold for our kids to swim in. We never saw anyone in the community use the pool in the week we were there.

Too dark can’t open shades

It was clean but you need shutters so you can open them to get light in without pulling open an entire shade so everyone can see in. Your management Robert and I think her name was Julie were fabulous!!!

Disappointing experience. We arrived to find a drain snake sticking out of the kitchen sink and learned the sink was backed up and unusable. A plumber spent hours attempting repairs, causing a strong foul odor and disrupting our stay. We were not informed of the issue before arrival and the host did not respond to our calls or emails until the following morning. While the host eventually apologized, the repairs and inconvenience significantly impacted was was supposed to be a pleasant two day stay.
