*Winter Sand Berm: The construction of the city's winter sand berm is a strategic measure, informed by the annual tidal patterns influenced by celestial alignments. The timing of the berm's erection is determined by the specific positioning of the Earth relative to the sun and the moon, resulting in typical installation periods from early December through early to mid-March. However, these dates are subject to variation due to the dynamic nature of lunar and solar cycles rather than arbitrary human decision-making.

For instance, historical data indicates that the berm was dismantled on March 10th, 2021, and on March 2nd in 2020. This year, the construction of the sand berm is scheduled for November 29th, 2023, aligning with the predicted celestial and tidal conditions. These dates exemplify the adaptation to the annual celestial shifts.

Beyond its functional purpose, the sand berm offers unique recreational opportunities. Visitors can traverse its height to enjoy an enhanced perspective of the surroundings or utilize it as an elevated seating area by placing beach chairs atop it.

Location: Prime Carpinteria Beachfront– Walk to downtown Carpinteria with boutiques, stores, and restaurants.

Lovely oasis
We reserved this home to celebrate my birthday with kids and grandkids and it was spectacular and very comfortable. Our stay was in November and the only issue we had was being too cold in the second floor bedroom with loft - the forced air heater would not work, only AC. The maintenance person checked it out (management company was helpful) and brought us space heaters thankfully. We would love to stay here again and overall had a wonderful experience!

On the sand!
A wonderful family vacation in the sweet little town of Carpinteria. Two blocks from shopping, coffee & restaurants. Pristine beach right off the back deck. Home is equipped with everything for a family beach day. Carpenteria State beach and park have great amenities for adults and kids alike. This Vrbo was a splurge, but it was totally worth it and exceeded our expectations.

Beautiful home.
This house is lovely. As I am a designer, the devil is in the details for me. The kitchen is well-appointed and the view is stunning. The bathrooms are also very well designed with efficient layout. This is a kid friendly home even though we did not have kids. My only comments for improvement are on the lamps beside the beds-- they need replacing. They look like they came from a garage sale and were very rickety. Also the parking situation is tough. The small one spot that was reserved for us was taken by someone else on more than one occasion over the 3 night stay. Please be warned that you have to climb 3 flights of tall stairs to get to master/kitchen/living room. 2 flights for the others. Tough with bags and groceries. But again, lovely place on a part of the beach where there is less tourist traffic. I would go back!
