House was clean, furnished with everything we needed. Had beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards for use. Plenty of drawers and night stands to store items. Looks recently remodeled and the BEST part was it was only about 20 steps to the sand! Definitely will stay here again!

Location is convenient to the Spot , the park & of course the beach. Disappointed that we weren’t on sand facing ocean but did enjoy the private patio. The listing wasn’t clear about where condo is in the complex and could do with less mirrors! Overall we enjoyed our stay

The apartment was perfect sized for our family of 5. Literally steps from the beach and comes with beach chairs, umbrellas and toys. Can't recommend this place enough.

Staying on the beach was such a wonderful experience for our family. The amenities of the property met our expectations and having beach chairs and boogie boards available was great. This beach town was good to us, the locals were friendly and everything we needed was a short walk away.

Carp Shores is right on the beach. We love how the unit and property provide tar remover. There’s also a faucet outside to wash our sandy feet off. Makes going to the beach so easy when it’s right on our doorstep! It’s also very close to a park with a fun play structure as well as big grassy area. The property is also expertly managed by the on site manager. Laundry facility is clean and close by, just bring quarters, and everyone is friendly and respects curfew times, which we greatly appreciated since we have small children. Their downtown is also close by, so you can walk to the restaurants or get take out very conveniently. Highly recommend The Spot! Unit also comes with a myriad of cooking utensils and basic condiments. The only big issue is that since these are old units, the walls are thin. Our unit also had squeaky door hinges. These made it harder to have good nights rest, although the squeaky hinges can be easily remedied with WD-40. I also wish the mattresses were of better quality; I don’t expect the best when on vacation, but I also suggest getting better quality mattresses that don’t squeak of old spring coils every time you move. Overall this is a good place to stay if you don’t mind the thin walls and mediocre mattresses, which the convenient beach and park access, as well as proximity to downtown make up for.

If you like Carpinteria, this is a great place to stay. On the beach and a short walk to all of the spots you'll want to visit in the best beach town in California. Easy check-in, clear instructions, very nice accommodations.

We should have been notified of very large and loud beer festival. Also pictures show this is on the beach. However it faces the street. It smells heavily of smoke.

The condo was small but perfect for two people, especially with one small bathroom. We used the 2nd bedroom for our luggage. The place smelled a little musty so we used room spray and candles to help. Perfect location for access to the beach… just across the grass and up the steps, even though the pictures indicated the condo patio was on the beach. So that was a little misleading. I liked the electric hot water pot for my French press.
We would go back.

If I could give this listing higher than 5 stars, I would! We were 3 adults and 2 young children. We received clear and timely instructions to ensure seamless check in/out process and stay. Staff were contacted via VRBO app, and they always replied promptly. the location is AMAZING!! we loved being steps away from carp beautiful beach, and still be able to be in downtown Santa Barbara within 15 mins. lots of small shops and restaurants are walking distance, which made it easy to get food for my younger ones. the apartment had EVERYTHING we needed, except for perishables (which was easy to get from smart & final down the street). olive oil spray, salt and pepper, even coffee filters. We are guessing they were left by previous visitors, The apartment is smartly designed, that there was plenty of space for everything we packed. cleanliness was acceptable, but we felt comfortable using everything around the apartment.
loved that there were beach toys, beach chairs and an umbrella, less things for us to pack/ rent. We loved the pillows, and wall art, my kids were entertained by it all. I highly recommend this apartment!

We had such a fun time in Carpinteria.
Lovely property just a few steps from the beach. Carpinteria was very chill and the beach was fabulous.
Note there are no food items at all - not even salt or pepper (maybe becas of covid?) but Carpinteria has great restaurants
Would definitely recommend

The complex is right on the beach, and on the main commercial drag in Carpinteria. The unit is nicely furnished and comfortable. Everything was great except the location of the unit within the complex. It is one of only a few units that do not have a beach view. It is on the first floor looking to the side. If you want a beach view, this unit is not for you. Otherwise, it's all good!

I would love to give this unit a greater rating however I fear I can not, as this would increase competition for this unit. we plan on renting this unit many times in the future and we don't want the hassle of other families knowing about it. The staff was uncomfortably helpful as well. While we loved the service, we don't want anyone else to know about it.... again for availability reasons. thank you
