It was a nice place to stay - very peaceful!

My wife and I really liked this property because of the fenced in yard with hot tub and putting greens. Given we had two kids under 3, they needed to be able to run when we were there. My three year old loved calling the loft his bedroom! Would stay there again.

Carpinteria is just a special place. Paul’s tiny homes gave us a chance to experience it. Definitely read the description as there are quirks to this property. It’s two separate homes. The kitchen home has two lofts… one w/ a queen bed & one w/ a twin. The bedroom home has the bathroom. Those staying in the lofts need to go outside to get to the bathroom, but there is an exterior door directly into the bathroom. You’re on a farm, so there are animals including roosters nearby. It’s a 10 minute drive or less into town.

Our stay at the tiny house was a mix of pros and cons. First, be aware that the listing is a bit confusing — the "tiny house" is actually two separate structures: one contains a queen bed and the bathroom, while the other houses the kitchen and two beds in a loft.While the concept is creative and has a lot of potential, the maintenance left something to be desired. The front door to the kitchen structure had large gaps, which allowed bugs and spiders to get in, even when shut. We also noticed spider webs in both houses. The outdoor space could use some upkeep — leaves covered the deck and furniture, and ants were all over the outdoor seating area.There were a few things we really did enjoy: the hot tub was clean and in great condition, and the grill worked perfectly — both were definite highlights of our stay.A couple of other notes for future guests: the property is next to a farm, so you may hear roosters, and it’s also close to a pot farm, which some guests may want to know in advance. Additionally, there was no washer, even though it was listed as an amenity.In short, this place has great potential with its unique layout and peaceful setting, but it could use more attention to detail, especially when it comes to cleanliness.
