Ruta is an excellent host with great communication. The location couldn’t be better with easy walking beach and downtown access. There are 2 bedrooms upstairs with king beds. The rollaway beds in each of those bedrooms would be a challenge for any adult as they look highly uncomfortable. There is a blow up queen mattress upstairs that works great. Small kids could sleep on the couches upstairs. The upstairs bathroom is fine but needs updating. If someone needed access to the downstairs bathroom during the overnight hours, it would be a challenge to make your way down there. That bathroom is also in need of an update as it’s very cold on winter mornings and has carpet on the floors around the toilet and shower. Also the property backs up to the train tracks so if that is a concern, you may want to take that into account.
This is a nice property in a nice neighborhood with a great landlord. It will be even better when they are able to make some updates. I’m thankful we were able to stay there during Thanksgiving.

Our foursome stayed for a few nights while we attended a family wedding nearby. Our host was phenomenal. She was proactive in communicating with us and very helpful. The house had two king beds which was important to us! It was located in a charming community near the beach and the quaint downtown. We didn't spend a lot of time here, but the sleep was sound and the beds very comfy.

Very comfortable home. But you need to be able to climb stairs. Very thing you need is there, dishes, pans, spices, towels, robes, blankets, lots of outdoor chairs, umbrellas to take to the beach. Two refrigerators. Back yard is great for kids. Loved sitting out on balcony. Fun cooking on the antique stove. Thank you Ruta.

We love the Carp/Santa Barbara area and wanted to spend my birthday week there and happened upon this little gem of a sweet older house on VRBO. We brought our two dogs who loved the large backyard with lots of room to explore. The house has a well stocked kitchen, comfy sofas and beds and a balcony perfect for having our morning coffee, and later for watching the sunset. (The dogs also loved the balcony for watching the neighborhood cats!) Though it was not a problem for us, prospective renters may want to know that the kitchen area and the living area are on different levels, and there are several steps leading down into the backyard as well. We loved our stay and will have great memories of this trip. Thank you, Ruta, for offering your sweet house!

Everything was as advertised. The management thinks of everything - I saw boogie boards, bicycles, dog toys…. We didn’t cook while there but had a great time taking our dog to the lovely beach, showering off the sand in the back yard and tossing the ball til she was all dry. The bedrooms were very clean and comfy, and we watched the sunset each day and relaxed in the comfortable sitting room.

We had an amazing time at the beach house; the property and location were both perfect for our needs as a family, and the house is so well set up for days out to the beach. Carpinteria is the best. We can’t wait to go back and will definitely stay at Ruta’s house again if we can! She is a wonderful host.

We very much enjoyed our stay in Carp. The house fit our family’s needs wonderfully. The property was clean and the beds comfortable. A relatively easy walk to the beach with the provided wagon. We hope to be back next year.

We have stayed in multiple properties in Carp and we all really enjoyed Ruta's place. It was very cozy. We loved the beds and were within walking distance to the beach and downtown. A great deck where you can see the ocean was a bonus. Plus she has lots of beach toys for the kiddos. We would highly recommend.

Nice property, comfortable beds and well supplied kitchen. The only improvement is the photo in the listing with bikes includes a children’s bike but there are only adult bikes available. Host made us aware of this when booking so we’re not surprised. Property does require climbing steps to enter - not a problem for us but other guests should be aware.

The living room and bedrooms upstairs are exceptionally comfortable. The view of the sunset ( northwest view of sunset and mountains) is very special and the backyard provides for glorious mornings of sun and songbirds! Kitchen well equipped, Ruta, the owner is a gracious host who is immediately accessible. Pictures on website are very accurate. We will definitely return to this home!!

The Beach House has a fantastic setup and couldn’t be in a better location. We loved walking to the beach for sunrise and sunset walks. Spending time at the house was so comfortable whether in the living room upstairs or in the kitchen. Relaxing in the back yard, on the front porch or on the second floor balcony with a fantastic variety of chairs, tables and awnings was hard to beat. Carpinteria is a low key small town with so much to offer.
5.0
Great location, fun house with lots of beach toys: umbrellas, chairs, boogie boards. We especially appreciated the bikes. Beds were comfortable, and the house was clean. As others mentioned, the layout is a little funny, with the kitchen downstairs but the gathering spots upstairs. So it wasn't conducive to cooking big meals with us all together. Balcony was fantastic for sunsets and happy hours.

Too many stairs. Great backyard. Attentive host. Fully stocked. Beds comfortable. Netflix a plus. Kinda early checkout. Needs a deep clean.

*In general, the house is downright DIRTY. The walls, doors, windows, kitchen counters need thorough washing. The top of the wooden block on the kitchen island was filthy with grime, which we scrubbed off before food could be prepared. *Electrical issues in the bedroom made us feel unsafe. The light by the bedroom entrance does not work. And the outlet on the opposite side of the bed is not functional.
*Insect problems. There is an ant problem in the bedroom. And a spider problem in the Shack Room. Multiple large >1 inch spiders had to be dealt with throughout the stay.
* The VRBO description does not mention that the house is NOT handicap friendly. Need to go up/down stairs to get to kitchen or bathroom.

This is an outstanding property with a TOP NOTCH HOST. just 4 blocks from the beach, the Host provides everything you could want to make your stay a beach friendly experience. The kids boogie-boarded all day then relaxed at home after the sun set. We made trips into Montecito and Santa Barbara, which are just 10-15 minutes away. We will definitely come back!

Very nice and comfortable. Ruta was very helpful and even told us about local events like the farmer’s market on Thursdays. Really good stuff. We love Carpinteria, this one was one to remember and the Beach House helped to make it so.

We loved being at the Beach House! Perfect location!!! You can stroll to the beach or walk into town. The house is big, clean and comfortable, with everything you could possibly need. Great bikes and beach gear to use. The backyard is really fun with several places to gather or sit around the fire or bbq. Loved hanging on the porches. We even enjoyed the trains. We hope to come back this fall/winter .
Try to stay longer: 3 nights was too short for us.

This was our second stay at the Beach House. The location very near the beach but also a short walk to downtown Carpinteria is so ideal. The house is vintage with tons of charm and personal touches, plus everything you could possibly need as provided by an experienced owner. We absolutely love the Beach House and will stay here anytime we're heading to the Santa Barbara area.

We rented from February 26th to March 28th. This property has everything that you could possibly want or need - beach towels, bikes, wagon, boogie boards, backyard grill and lots of patio furniture, cuddly throws, flashlights, crockpot, etc.
It is decorated in a fun and eclectic style. About 4 blocks from the beach - it is an easy bike ride or walk. In fact, you can see a bit of the ocean from the second floor deck. Out of all the beaches in the Santa Barbara area, this is my favorite.
I have a little Shih Tzu that is totally blind. The back yard is beautiful, big, and fenced in so that she could wander around all she wanted and I did not need to worry about her getting out. The trip was worth it just for her.
My son had a friend over one evening and we had a lovely barbecue in the backyard.
My husband is dealing with Stage 4 cancer and this was a good place for respite. And yes, there is Amtrak rails behind the back fence, but is was not an issue with the trains going by. In fact, it was rather fun.
Carpinteria is more laid back than the busyness experienced in Santa Barbara or Goleta. It was magical.
I would recommend this property to anyone.

Great locale and comfy beds!
This property is close to the beach and Carpinteria town, the location can't be beat! It is clean, comfortable, and has all the amenities needed for an enjoyable holiday: bikes, washer/dryer, comfy beds and TVs. Unfortunately for me there were a lot of stairs and areas in the yard that were difficult for my furry
companions.

The Beach House was Perfect
The Beach House was ideal for our visit. Location is wonderful and the house is equipped with everything you need and more. Kitchen was stocked with more cookware than my own kitchen. Everything was clean and organized. The 2 king beds are a huge plus. The train does run behind the house but not a bother for us at all. We enjoyed the daily walks to the beach and took a couple of bike rides. We will be back!!

Fun return to Carpinteria
This trip was a return visit to the beach town I went to many times as a child in the 50s and 60s. It was everything I remembered. A small town without the glitz of most SoCal beach towns but with a beautiful beach, great restaurants and a vibrant community. The house was clean and well appointed. Located walking distance between the beach and town so we never drove our car the entire time we were there. We would definitely book this house again.

This is our second visit to this home, and it really is, complete with everything you can think of, plus the location, the backyard, the quietness and comfort.

What a cute place!
We had 5 people stay and we were quite comfortable! Ruta was really responsive, had everything there you would/could need and we had a good time. Great location to walk all around; kitchen had all the things we needed to cook and clean and she had tons of beach related things for us to use. Wifi was good, watched the sunset each night, and had a fire pit going one time too. I think the only thing I'd bring next time is my firestick. We would definitely stay here again!
