Get ready to kick back and relax at Neptune's Retreat — a gorgeous beachfront condo sitting directly on the sand of Carpinteria State Beach, just a block from Linden Ave. With 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this is your own little slice of paradise. Take a break from the beach in the open living room, or cook up a meal in the beautiful kitchen with a pop of ocean catching your eye. Fully stocked and ready for you from the moment you arrive.



The space

A spacious king bed with an attached bathroom, dresser, and closet. Two floor sleeping mats are also available in the closet area for extra guests. This room has its own TV and a private door leading to the side alley.



️ Bedroom 2

A comfortable queen bed with a TV — a cozy retreat after a long day at the beach.



Bathrooms

Both bathrooms feature standing showers with glass doors. One is en-suite to Bedroom 1, and the other is in the hallway next to Bedroom 2. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are provided in both.



Living Room

Settle into the L-shaped couch and unwind. The TV has cable and full streaming capability (Netflix and more), and local magazines are on hand for a slower afternoon. The dining table seats up to 4, with an additional 4 stools at the counter.



Kitchen

A fully stocked kitchen with pots, pans, dishes, BBQ tools, and all your everyday essentials. A drip coffee maker is available — coffee grounds aren't guaranteed but may be left over from previous guests.



Laundry

In-unit washer and dryer in the hall closet, plus an iron. Detergent isn't always provided — we recommend bringing your own, but feel free to use any that's available.



Beach & Outdoors

The house is located directly on the beach, and we're happy to provide boogie boards, beach toys, beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels for all your beach needs. We just ask that you bring everything back to the storage unit when not in use and avoid leaving any items on the sand.



The shared patio has two gas BBQs (connected to the building — no propane needed) and picnic tables, perfect for a relaxed outdoor meal.



Parking

Two gated parking spots are included, both numbered #5. Additional vehicles should park on the street.



WiFi & Entertainment

High-speed WiFi throughout the unit — the router is in the cabinet next to the fridge. The TV has cable and full streaming capability (Netflix and more).

    Our family's stay at this VRBO property was wonderful! The apartment was very clean and cozy, plenty of amenities were provided, and the beach-front location could not be beat! We were in town for a family wedding and it was the perfect place to convene after each day and having the beach right there was simply an added bonus. Would definitely recommend staying at this property to anyone who is inquiring! Management was very helpful and communicative too ) 5 stars all around!

    From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home—which made it so easy to truly relax and unwind. The entire property is immaculate, clearly well-maintained, and cared for with intention. Early check-in was a thoughtful touch and gave us even more time to enjoy our first day.The beach is just a short walk away, making sunrise strolls and sunset views part of our daily routine. Everything about the home helped make our stay feel effortless and serene.We’ve already decided this will be our go-to summer retreat, and we can’t wait to come back again next year! Already booked!

    Good location, but not much of a view of the beach.

    This place was perfect for our family of five. Plenty of space, comfortable beds, well-maintained unit and property, and steps from the beach. Property was exactly as listed and included everything we needed to relax and enjoy our stay. We also appreciated the proximity to shops and restaurants just a short walk away.

    We have been coming to Carpinteria for about 15 years and this has been our favorite place so far. You can’t beat this unit location to the water, beautiful views of the ocean great interior design and close to restaurants and shopping. We would absolutely stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a little getaway.

    Almost everything about this condo was fantastic. The location is prime, and the condo was spotless. Vrbo didn’t send us our checkin instructions, but the property manager was really responsive to all of the concerns we had. They got us our checkin info within 15 min of us letting them know we couldn’t get in, they had a solution when we were locked out of the beach gear locker, and when we discovered that there were only two bowls in a condo that accommodates five guests. Five stars for the property manager. A couple of things that I would have like to have known before renting: The property listing says there is a hot tub. There is no hot tub. A fireplace is featured in some of the pics, it can’t be used. There weren’t any linens that fit the foam mattresses our kids slept on. We ended up finding stuff for the bigger beds and just using that and some blankets we were traveling with. Another thing that could be improved includes a better stocked kitchen. All of the Teflon pans were peeling and need to be replaced, & there was not a full array of kitchen utensils (no citrus squeezer & knife sharpener are the two main ones that come to mind), and there was nothing in the way of basics like foil, etc. not a huge deal, but for the price I expected the kitchen to be better stocked/in better shape. Overall our experience was great, the property manager was super helpful, the place was nicely decorated, clean, and has a prime location. We would for sure rent again.
