Great location

Nice condo just a block off the beach. Perfect for walking the trails along the coastline and to coffee and restaurants in Carp. Bring beach/pool towels because there are none provided. We used both bedrooms and the pull out bed in the living room (which had never been used) and our group of 5 did fine for a short stay. It was nice to have two bathrooms (one upstairs and one down).

This location is a super short walk to the beach and the beds are comfy! Needs more art on the walls and the kitchen could use salt/pepper/oil and hot pads for the oven.

Great spot in Carpinteria

This was our second time staying in this unit, and we’ll be back next year. Everything from booking, to check-in, to communication and check-out were great! It’s nice to have the two pools and hot tub to suit a range of ages. The location near the beach can’t be beat. The unit is clean, stylish, and comfortable!
