"Jennifer's Cottage Room in Summerland, CA was a cozy little refresher. Trees and vines make for an intimate green space (check out the pictures.) Jennifer's was my getaway from noise, cement and traffic in LA. Great for a single or a couple. Summerland, California is a nice little sea side town just minitues from Santa Barbara. There are a wide variety of activities in the area, sun and sand, surfing lessons, vineyard tours, horseback riding--something for everyone. Just go and enjoy yourself!"

Top Carpinteria Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Carpinteria Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Love the Location, but can be noisy with major street, freeway onramp and freeway behind hotel"

Spacious newer home within walking distance of secluded beaches and polo fields.

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The home was spacious and perfect for our group of four couples on a weekend trip. Having a private bathroom for each couple made the stay especially comfortable and convenient. The neighborhood was great, and the home was exactly what we needed for a relaxing getaway. The hosts were wonderful—very hospitable, responsive, and easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again!"

Sunny Beach Condo - Late Aug-Sept Dates Available! - Steps to the Beach & Linden

10/10 Excellent

"We love this property. It is carefully thought out with attention to detail. It has a well equipped kitchen and some meal starter basics. It is walkable to the beach, coffee, restaurants, market, and a variety of shopping opportunities. The pool area is beautiful and it has several areas to BBQ and lounge. It is also close to Santa Barbara where there is much to see and do. I would recommend this simple but comfortable condo"

Mermaids Grotto on the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"This place was perfect for our family of 4. Literally steps to the beach. Gated parking (2 spots reserved for unit, we only needed 1). We spent 9 days August 2026. Carp is a cute spot that has a small beach town feel, almost feels like more locals than tourists. The condo unit is spacious and well stocked. Linens, towels, and paper products were provided, making it move-in ready. Communication with the managers/owners was quick and smooth (the only thing we needed was a sign in on the smart tv, which they provided in minutes). I have zero complaints!"

Beach front Sea Loft in Santa Barbara. Weekly discounts. Best beach sunsets!

10/10 Excellent

"I recommend better instructions on how to lock the door. I suggest; instead of stating "pull up on the handle" rephrase to "lift the door handle upwards in a counterclockwise direction", this action is needed to lock the door from the inside and outside."

Steps from watching Sunsets in the Sand

8/10 Good

"The condo was clean and in close proximity to the beach and eateries. The condo was quite and felt very safe. It was nice to have a designated parking space, which made it so easy. The host was quick to answer questions. The only issue, it was very hot in the condo due to the weather. Unfortunately, because it is coastal, the condo does not have a/c, only fans. During the time we stayed it was particular hotter than normal, the fans did not seem to help with cooling the place down. However, I imagine that is not the norm. Usually, the coastal areas cool down during the evenings. I do encourage others to stay and enjoy their time at this condo."
