Carpinteria, California
This charming and stylish, beautifully refurbished 1920's beach cottage is 2 blocks from Carpinteria State Beach, 1 block from Carpinteria Salt Marsh Nature Reserve, and a few blocks from the heart of town. Included bikes, beach wagon, beach chairs, boogie board and cooler all make a fun-filled day at the beach effortless. Rinse off the day in our hot water, outdoor shower when you return.
We were honored to have our cottages (#336069 & #248884) chosen to fill the 'Little Gem' category of Carpinteria Beautiful's annual Home and Garden Tour in April 2012. They were also featured in Carpinteria Magazine's winter 2010 edition.
The cottage features tasteful furnishings and decor, refinished hardwood floors throught out, central heat, ceiling fans in the bedrooms, and all the comforts of home. Beautiful, original paintings by local artists adorn the walls. There is a bedroom with a queen bed and another with a bunk bed with a twin on top and a full bed on the bottom. A lovely patio in the yard with an outdoor dining table is the perfect spot for a sunset dinner. The cottage is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. There is a fully upgraded kitchen with stone countertops and new appliances, including a dishwasher, microwave and ice maker. You will also find a washer and dryer for your convenience. We offer a library of DVD's, Apple TV, and wireless internet. Games and books are in the cupboard for mellow days around the house.
The surrounding neighborhood is very peaceful and the neighbors are friendly. There are several antique shops and wonderful restaurants within walking distance, as well as nature trails and bird watching one block away. Or, hop on the bikes and head to town! Thursday afternoons offer a fresh Farmers Market. The town of Santa Barbara is a short drive and hosts a zoo, museums, shopping, golf, art events, botanical gardens, the Queen of the Missions, wine tasting and more! Stop in Summerland for great antiquing, then glamorous, celebrity-filled Montectio along the way.
Our cottage offers a charming place to stay while on your vacation. Make it your home-away-from-home!

This property is the perfect location in Carp. Walking distance to the train station, restaurants/shops, and beach. It’s a great spot if you are booking with another family, because the other property is adjacent and makes it easy for kids and families to hang out. The host even gave us early/late check in/out. My only suggestion would to please have shampoo and conditioner available. We will definitely book again.
This place was so beyond perfect and special Great location Great linens Sooooo cute and perfectly set up with all youd need We lived our lil getaway here in carp❣️
Best Vrbo rental ever! The cottage was super clean, well apportioned, exactly as described. A short stroll to the beach. Will definitely stay again
Our stay was so peaceful and pleasant at this cozy beach house. Everything was as expected and made it so easy to relax and enjoy the area. We loved the easy walking for coffee shops, restaurants and exercise. The host was super responsive when we asked about recommendations. In the cottage was a large binder that offered so many helpful hints and ideas to make the most of the area. We really loved everything about our stay.
It was absolutely perfect! Great location. Everything we needed was in the cottage. So well decorated - like walking into a Serena and Lily catalog. Check - in and out was easy and Kat was very helpful with questions I had before arrival. I hope to be able to come back to this cottage again. I highly recommend it!
The cottage is updated 1920s vintage and both the home and yard are super charming. Great location for walking everywhere and perfect chill vibe. Central to the beach and eateries. Not huge and not for a rowdy crowd but perfect for our grown family of 5 to chill together since kids are fine with bunking together. Bring your own coffee and creamer if you like it asap in the morning. Coffee makers provided. Kat was very responsive and accommodating. We had an excellent time. Definitely would stay again.
Our stay was just the break we needed from our busy lives. A great place to vacation and have the comforts of home. The property was perfect for us
We had a wonderful time at this amazing cottage just a short walk from the beach
Great location and wonderful home.
The home is exactly as shown in the photos. The town and beach lovely. We especially enjoyed using the bikes provided for short rides to the beach and around town.
This property is impeccably maintained and feels like walking into my own personal beach cottage. The owner Kat is responsive and so nice! We had an issue with noisy renters one night and Kat took care of it so quickly. There were no issues the rest of the visit. She even dropped a little gift which was so thoughtful. I hope we can stay again. Highly recommend!!
This home was charming, clean, great indoor and outdoor space and very close to the beach. My kids loved the window seats around the kitchen table! It was so convenient that she provided bikes, beach chairs, and a beach wagon to walk all of our things to the beach. We loved our stay!
This little vacation home was exactly what we needed. It was close to the beach and shopping. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The outdoor seating was lovely. Bikes and beach chairs were also a plus. Thank you for a wonderful visit. We hope to return again.
Wonderful time spent at the corner cottage. Had everything we needed and the place was so charming!
Everything was just as advertised, the location is fantastic and the property is really cute. We hope to come back and stay again!
My husband and our two children stayed in this lovely cottage for two weeks and found every part of it wonderful. Would recommend to anyone looking for a tastefully appointed house moments from the beach. We felt cosy and at home.
This is a great cottage in Carp. Nice neighborhood and an easy walk to shops, restaurants and the beach. The cottage was clean and just as advertised. Kat was a dream host. Our daughter left her airpods (which had fallen in between the cushions in one of the chairs) and Kat was kind enough to send her assistant over to retrieve them for us. Totally out of her way, and very much appreciated! We definitely plan on staying here again. Thank you Kat! :)
