Top Friends of the Library Used Bookstore Hotel Reviews

Beautiful 2-bedroom Condo Across from the Sand!

10/10 Excellent

"Priscilla was the best property manager, going out of her way to walk me around the property and let me check in early ahead of my family arriving. The kitchen was stocked with utensils and pots/pans, plenty of beach chairs, the outdoor bbq area was easy to use, the laundry room was clean and reasonable. Very comfortable unit."

Beautiful 2 bed w/Ocean view - private wifi

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay- thank you!"

Cottage by the Sea steps to beach with heated pool

8/10 Good

"Danielle was a great host who responded to our concerns promptly, professionally, and as effectively as possible. Unfortunately, once again, I had trouble finding the access code amid the myriad of information VRBO sent me before the trip - most of it entirely unnecessary. I wish something could be done about that."

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 - Coastal 1BR Retreat Near Beach & Downtown

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!"

Victorian Carpinteria Apartment < 1 Mi to Beach!

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and unit is fun!"
