Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria South

"Very good."

Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria North

8/10 Good

"Ain’t the fanciest but the location is great"

Best Western Plus Carpinteria Inn

8/10 Good

"the room was clean and staff was nice and friendly. the place is dated and needs major updates. the resturant in 3rd floor was not the quality you want for the prices. the gym was clean but needs some stretching area and items, like roller, bands, cube. would reccomend they remove all the fake plants everywhere."

Cottage by the Sea steps to beach with heated pool

10/10 Excellent

"Nice location close to the beach"

Charming Carpinteria Beach House 2 BD Winter/ 3 BD Summer, Great Winter Getaway

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Within walking distance of beach and town. Carpenteria had numerous restaurants and shopping to choose from. House was stocked with lots of amenities, more than we needed. Area was experiencing record heat temps when we were there and there is no AC. Lots of fans and early mornings and evenings were pleasant. Nice place to stay, large back yard for fur babies (even tho we didn’t have ours either us)."

Beach Shanty - One Block From Carpinteria State Beach

8/10 Good

"Ideal location! Walking in Carp is so lovely and this was steps from the beach and all the shops. The property was fine- very dated and no extras. The king bed was comfortable and the kids slept fine in the pullout and the bed under the stairs. Upstairs had slanted roof, had to bend over when getting dressed no view or windows, just a skylight and the downstairs window looked straight into a hedge on a very slim walkway. Great place if all you need to do is sleep or it’s just two people. The price is for the location and it’s clean with responsive hosts who were very welcoming and accommodating."

Carpinteria Apt w/ Hot Tub - 10 Min Walk to Beach!

10/10 Excellent

Exquisite Carpinteria Beach Cottage, Steps Away From The Beach

8/10 Good

"Nice place in a great quiet location. Everything was great and clean. Little warm upstairs while sleeping. Instead of an AC downstairs, a fan to pull the air from top window and out that same vent would work wonders!"
