100 steps to the sand! Your stay at Paradise Retreat at Pacific Shores will have you soaking up the sun and enjoying the quaint town of Carpinteria. This location is across the street from the beach entrance and within walking distance to all the fun things in town.

The condo provides a comfortable sleeping space for 6. Three bedrooms allow you to rest easy after a day in the sun and surf, at the World's Safest Beach. Complete with bed linens, bath towels and beach towels, your stay will include all the comforts to ensure a relaxing vacation.

The upstairs kitchen flows to the open family room allowing for time together while preparing meals or watching the 55 TV. In the kitchen you will find dinnerware, flatware, drinkware, pots and pans, a full-sized refrigerator, microwave and range/oven. Additional amenities include a Keurig, dishwasher and trash compactor. A gas BBQ is also available in the courtyard, should you choose to prepare meals in the gorgeous California weather.

A comfortable family room and kitchen table allow for ample space to play board games, complete a puzzle or stream a movie. A large sliding door provides a great sea breeze - or nature's best air conditioning. The patio is spectacular for coffee when you rise or to enjoy an evening beverage while viewing the gorgeous sunset as the day settles.

Two parking spaces in a private lot will make your arrival much easier. Please keep in mind that the front door is only accessible by a set of exterior stairs. Once inside, the floorplan includes bedrooms and bathrooms on the first level, with a bedroom, bathroom and kitchen/living space on the second level. In total, the condo features two sets of staircases.

Ocean and beach fun is made better with beach supplies offered as part of your stay. Beach chairs, boogie boards, sand toys, and a wagon will help to create the memories that will keep you wanting to return! Our location not only keeps you close to the sand, but you will be just a 5-minute walk to the Carpinteria train station. Just a handful of blocks beyond, you will find restaurants, breweries, wine tasting rooms, shopping, and art galleries. Don't forget about the Thursday afternoon Farmers Market, located on Linden Ave, right in the heart of Carpinteria.

Your Carpinteria vacation will be sure to have you planning your next getaway to one the West Coast's best kept secrets!

    Paradise Retreat was a wonderful place to stay! Crystal was wonderful to work with. She even let us check in early. The house was clean and stocked well. It was so close to walk to everything and the beaches were amazing!! We will defiantly return again!

    The place is great and the communication could not have been better. The only reason I did not rate the stay 5* is because the beds are really hard and the shower situation is difficult to navigate and still have privacy.

    Very clean with great amenities and close to the beach. Crystal was very thorough with check in and rental details, accommodating, and helpful. Stairs (provided in the description - to the entrance and to the main level) and an uncomfortable bed in the master suite prevented 5 stars. Otherwise a very lovely place and stay.

    The condo was as depicted online. Condo that has been cared for and is well stocked and nicely decorated. Was very comfortable to just hang out in and close to the beach. Crystal was great, available and communicates well. She also provides a lot of items, boogie boards, beach towels, umbrellas, chairs and plenty of necessities like paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, coffee pods, etc.! Would stay again!

    The place was perfect for our needs and clean! Loved that it was just steps away from the beach. The only feedback I would give along with all our guests, is have either celling fans or box fans in the bedrooms. The rooms get really warm.

    Our family of four had a wonderful stay! The unit had everything we needed. We especially appreciated the beach towels (those are bulky to pack) and soft blankets. Our host was responsive and instructions were clear. My only advice would be to bring a sleep eye mask if light bothers you; it’s a bit hard to keep the streetlights from coming through the blinds overnight. All in all, a great spot and we would stay here again. Easy walk to the beach and to restaurants. Thank you!

    We've stayed in several VRBOs steps from the beach in Carp. The decor in most of them is strikingly similar. What sets Crystal's apart is the layout and the spaciousness. With three bedrooms and two floors, it feels homey, and it's very comfortable. While it's not even a block from the beach, the best views are of the gorgeous mountains from the kitchen and second bedroom. Crystal was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. I would stay there again for sure.

    This condo was beautifully decorated and is 1 row of condos from the beach! Our family enjoyed our 4 days here and can't wait to come back. The condo had everything we needed with enough beds, bathrooms and beach necessities for everyone. All you need to bring is your swimsuit! While the rest of the country was dealing with the heat...we had 65-71 degree weather all week. Thank you Crystal for being such a good host!
