Other than having major difficulty opening the master key lock on the door, and the television not working, the rest of the stay was very nice. It’s a beautifully remodeled condo. The owner was very responsive to our issues and we appreciated his help.

A Block From Heaven
4-1/2 STARS. My 64 year old eyes required a flashlight to enter the lock box code due to the dimly lit hallway. Deadbolt key easy to copy and no lock-chain on door. Small studio. Comfortable bed with soft-mattress. Cramped bathroom. Fast WiFi at 314Mbps. Needs a work light over the kitchen sink (no dishwasher). Filthy banister on the communal stairway. Spa wasn't very hot. AND ONE BLOCK FROM A GREAT BEACH AND PARK!

Bathroom and bed
Well it was a great place and location. This place is not suited for larger or shall I say fluffy people. The toilet area was way too tight and the bed was too soft for our liking. I felt that the couch was going to break. I thought the legs were going to come out from under it. Price range was great but will be booking another place for next year.

great spot by the beach
This is a small (450 sq ft) apt with a recessed area for the bed and closet (right by the front door when you walk in). Plenty kitchen gadgets, towels, beach items etc. The location is fabulous as it is less than 1/2 block from the beach. The secure parking is a super plus. The negatives: bed is too soft (seriously) and the couch too hard. But that is a personal preference. Had a slight glitch in that when we arrived, the apt had not been cleaned. Called Chris and he had the cleaning crew there within 20 minutes (3 of them for this small apt) so it was well cleaned within 1 hour after our call. And Chris gave us a small discount for this snafu which was very gracious. Overall - I would recommend staying here if there are just two of you.

Good location place needs updated
First the good: Location was great Well Stocked (especially TP) Had boogie boards and beach chairs The not so good: Unit needs a deep cleaning, floors/walls Bed was way too soft and taco-y Couch was SO squeaky Unit could use updating (blinds, furnishings, linens/towels, basically everything) Bikes were very rusty - wouldn’t try it. Pretty good communication and quiet place near the beach. Although the beaches in Santa Barbara are way nicer. Would probably stay there next time.

Great location!
Great stay one block from the beach and walking distance to all the shopping and testy in downtown Carp. Bed was very comfortable. I recommend sleeping with white noise as the walls to the building are thin and you can hear people coming and going. Also, there is no full length mirror😬

Quick walk to the beach
This was a clean and cozy condo for our stay in Carpenteria. The beach was close and we were able to get around to most places by walking. It would have been helpful to have more clear instructions on the TV and info about the laundry room location, but all in all this was a nice place to stay.

3 Night in Carp
We really enjoyed our stay at Chris’s condo. The location was amazing! Basically right across the street from the beach and easy walking distance to the main business area in Carpinteria with restaurants, shops, etc. The hot tub was nice and hot and the pool seemed to be heated as well. We were really impressed by the selection of plates, glasses, knives, and other utensils in the kitchen. Often rentals have the bare minimum but they had a great spread of pots and pans and Tupperware and seasonings. Could have used some cooking oil but we made do without since we didn’t want to go back to the grocery store. The unit was pretty clean on the surface level but is probably ready for a deep clean. Other than that everything was superb and exactly as advertised!

Entry was easy and gated parking a plus. The space is small but tidy and well appointed. Plenty of paper goods and extra linens. Perfect for 1-2 people. We unfortunately had to cut our trip short due to a power outage in the area from large amounts of rain. Owners were extremely attentive and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again.
