About the property

Get your fill of the bright California sunshine at this retro Carpinteria studio just a short walk from the beach! With an ideal location just east of bustling Santa Barbara, you can spend your days down on the sand with a good book, beach combing along Carpinteria State Beach, and hiking at Salt Creek Marsh Nature Preserve. On the evenings that you don't feel like making your meals, there are dozens of restaurants within a few blocks of your cozy Carpinteria retreat. Featuring a classic, split-level design, the main level of this Carpinteria vacation loft holds a comfortable living room decked out in neutral tones, with pops of orange from the artwork and throw pillows. There are a couple of sofas for lounging (as well as an air mattress), a large TV for entertainment, and a distinctively laid-back style. In addition to the dining room table, you'll also have some seats at the breakfast bar, overlooking the kitchen. When it is time to get a meal on the table, the kitchen is compact but nicely functional with tiled countertops, a refrigerator, and a stovetop/oven. There's even a blender for fruit smoothies or margaritas. And when it's time to do the dishes, just let them soak while you watch a movie or head down to the beach. At night, the sleeping loft upstairs has a comfortable bed, along with a skylight, and accessories like reading lamps and a shelf full of books. The full bathroom is also located on the loft level. Between the bed and a queen-size air mattress, four adults can comfortably stay at this Carpinteria vacation home. Gorgeous Carpinteria State Beach is about 200 yards away and is the perfect setting for a beach-side picnic, an afternoon lounging in the shade of a beach umbrella, or a day of building sandcastles. You can rent a paddle board, play some volleyball, or just lay back and take a nap. Also nearby, the Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve is perfect for a late morning hike along the trails, where you might see seals, sea lions, and a variety of seabirds on your journey. When you want a fun night on the town, Santa Barbara is only 12 miles away, with museums, theaters, shops, and restaurants for every taste and budget. And if you don't feel like dealing with crowds or lines, just stay put and chill in sunny, beach-front Carpinteria. Plan a stay at this throwback-style Southern California vacation rental! For both calm waves and good swells, Carpinteria offers activities year-round and this cozy Carpinteria getaway is a great budget-friendly option right near the Southern California shore.

Everything was great except that the sofa bed is uncomfortable. I slept on the other sofa which was fine. But overall was a good place to stay in.

Thank you for the kind words, Tony. We're glad you had a good overall stay — and we truly appreciate you flagging the sofa bed, as we'll definitely look into improving that. Hope to have you back for an even better experience next time!

Can’t recommend this property highly enough!! It was clean, cozy and thoughtfully presented. It’s so close to the water you can hear the waves, and yet it feels very private and tucked away. The bed is huge and very comfortable. Great water pressure in the shower. Overall, I’d go back tomorrow (or any other day) if I could!

The location was absolutely perfect! Just a block to the beach and such an easy walk to town and restaurants! The place was perfect for what we needed for our babies first trip to the beach! They had wonderful beach chairs, towels and a boogie board for use and a fully stocked kitchen. The unit did have the smell of smoke at times-it seemed to be only when someone was actively smoking. They do warn you of that in the listing so no complaints! But if you are a person who has sensitivity to it I would suggest another rental.

We had such a lovely stay here and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the beach or loves Carpenteria! I grew up here and having a spot so close to the campground and seal sanctuary was literally the most incredible experience to relive. If you’ve never been to Carpenteria before, I cannot recommend this place more! The host was responsive and the space was so lovely and cozy, the perfect getaway for me and my partner. Thank you so much Vacasa!

My stay at Vacasa's rental home was overall a pleasant experience. I really enjoyed how conveniently located it was. Everything was within walking distance, which made exploring the area easy. The space was cozy and comfortably fit four people. While the photos on Airbnb made the unit look much brighter-likely due to editing and lighting-the actual interior was noticeably darker, even with all the lights on. It's something to be aware of. The bed was a decent size and could realistically sleep up to three people. The place was generally clean, which I appreciated. However, I did notice that the couches had visible wear and could really use a deep clean, as there were noticeable stains. The same goes for some of the linens and pillows-under the light, I noticed pink and orange stains that were a bit off-putting. Despite these concerns, the home met our basic needs well. If the cleanliness of the soft furnishings were improved, this would be a solid stay I'd recommend to others.

Perfect little unit for a weekend at the beach - only a block away! Had everything we needed to be comfortable for me and my son, but would have been too small for a family of 4, unless kids are small. Nice covered parking right next to the door. Very quiet neighborhood. Easy walking access to lots of dinner options. Unit even has beach chairs and an umbrella for visitors to use. There were a few ants, but we didn't mind sharing. Would love to come back and stay there again and spend more time walking on that beautiful beach . . .

The loft was clean and comfy. I loved the close proximity to the beach and restaurants. Also, the bed feels like you are laying on clouds, soft, and fluffy. I really liked how close the parking was to the house. Plus, the apartment is very welcoming and bright. Overall, fantastic!

Really enjoyed the place! A nice cabin vibe with the loft upstairs. With the beach across street was very convenient! Highly recommend. Would stay there again!

This place is a gem. Located a block from the beach and minutes from the downtown area. We parked are car and never moved it for the duration of our stay. We walked to the beach, trails, to restaurants and cafes. It is in a perfect location. The place itself is exactly what you see in the pictures. I would recommend this place to anyone trying to get away!

Place is super nice and cozy!! I was up here for a weekend with some friends and it is the PERFECT getaway. It’s close to a lot of little shops and restaurants so you’ll never be bored or hungry, and it’s in literal walking distance to the beach. This’ll probably be a regular vacation spot for me!

This condo is in a wonderful location. Everything (beach one way and the town the other way) was within easy walking distance.
