Great stay

The condo was clean and comfortable. The pools and hot tub are a nice addition. Hot tub use is now for everyone over age 6 and above. The only thing I would be aware of is you can hear noise from the first floor of the unit on the second floor quite easily, but we made do. Overall, a very nice stay and we'd be happy to return.

Cute Carp condo

We had a very comfortable stay over 4th of July weekend. We were 2 adults and 3 kids ages 10 and under. The second bedroom has a bunk bed that actually provides 3 beds - a double bed bottom with a twin top bunk and a twin trundle pull out under the double. The condo is well stocked with beach equipment (photo attached). It’s an easy walk across the street to the sandy beach.

Thank you for hosting us at your lovely property! We had a fantastic time, especially enjoying the pools, which were a highlight of our stay. The combination of staying at your place on Friday night and camping on Saturday added a unique and fun twist to our trip.To help future guests, we suggest noting in the listing that the property does not have air conditioning. While Carpinteria rarely needs it, we happened to visit during a hot and humid spell, so this detail would be helpful upfront. Additionally, we only discovered the availability of boogie boards and other amenities as we were leaving—it might be great to highlight these in the listing or welcome materials to ensure guests can fully enjoy them.Overall, we had a wonderful experience and appreciate your hospitality. Thank you again!

Convenient location.

We really like this place. We’ve stayed multiple times because the location is great (walkable to the beach, the marsh, and stores and restaurants) and the unit is clean and mostly well stocked—it just needs more dish towels!

Carpinteria Condo--Excellent Value

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, an excellent value. Very clean, everything is new, efficient floorplan, 1/2 blocck to beach, comfortable beds. Complex is fairly quiet.Would be useful to have a serving bowls/platters--otherwise, we were very happy with this rental (and we have rented a LOT of condos!)

Great family beach trip.

We had a wonderful time. The location was perfect and we were able to walk to the beach daily. The unit owner supplied boogie boards, sand chairs, and umbrellas. Our only two suggestions would be that the management company should provide more paper towels, napkins, and garbage bags and it would have been nice to have something to get the tar off our feet (walking on the beach leaves tar on feet). The interior stairs were a bit of a concern since we had two small children with us. Everything considered, it was a great vacation. Lots of nice restaurants close by the condo and only a short drive/bike ride to Santa Barbara.

Loved the heated pools

We enjoyed our stay in this 2 bedroom/2 bath unit very close to the beach. Wi Fi worked great - reliable and high speed as advertised. In non COVID times, we might have requested correction of some minor maintenance issues (leak under kitchen sink, downstairs shower not very warm. We bought a new shower curtain rod for the upstairs shower, since theirs kept falling down.

Paradise

We come to Carpinteria every year and this unit was perfect for us. It was true to the pictures and very comfortable for my family. A little construction criticism, the kitchen faucet drove us nuts. It soaked us every time we did dishes. I would replace it. But other than that a perfect 10!
