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.

The location was wonderful. A nice property. The kitchen could have been better stocked for cooking. Only two dish towels, knives not great. Other than the kitchen we enjoyed our stay. Beds were super. Plush towels. No cable TV. But we were out most of the time.
Close to everything. We walked & biked everywhere.
No doubt the location is what makes this place great as you are just a few minutes walk to the beach. It was nice to have covered parking. Bed linens and towels were clean. The bathroom rug needs to be refreshed and a good detailing to the home is also warranted. Although the outdoor temperature was a sweet 71 degrees the unit never reflected this as there is no air conditioning and just one little window upstairs available for ventilation. Plug in fans are provided to help keep things cool. The Sugar Shack is perfect for a few days getaway. After three days the bed felt lumpy. We did not cook at all. Adorable restaurants are also within walking distance. Would we stay here again? Yes.
We had scheduled a 2 night stay and arrived Friday afternoon and checked in. We checked out 30 minutes later because of strong marijuana smell in the unit. The initial response from the management company was Friday evening telling us that they were looking into the situation. We informed them that we could not stay there and asked for a refund. We ended up getting a local hotel room for our 2 night stay in Carpinteria. On Sunday we were informed that we would only receive a $117.00 refund. We have had many enjoyable VRBO experiences in other Carpinteria area rentals. This unit was very disappointing!
Perfect location with everything needed for a great weekend in Carpinteria. Would definitely book again!
Too extensive to go into. A cheap motel room is better equipped.
So convenient to everything in town I walked to the beach several times neighborhood and neighbors were so nice
I would recommend this place. It was cute and clean (minus a few ants here and there). Location is perfect - close to everything! I absolutely loved that I was able to park my car in the covered carport behind the place so I didn’t have to park on the street! But, It wasn’t the best for senior people due to stairs and a slippery tub. I had my 84 year old mom with me so that was a bit of a concern. Luckily she’s in great shape so it all worked out fine.
Fantastic location to easily get downtown and to the beach! Beach is just one block away!
My only regret is there is no dishwasher, washing machine or dryer, or heating. It was very cold the week were here so my husband got a severe cold the first day he got here.
A nice place. Clean and close to the beach. Could use more supplies for cooking at home. Not well stocked with knives, or even a carrot peeler. Lots of bath towels, but only two kitchen towels for an entire week.
