This charming beach house was only an hours drive out of Los Angeles and perfect for our weekend getaway. It is right by the beach and an easy walk into town to eat and shop. Great vintage stores! The accommodations are extremely cozy and comfortable and I would recommend it for a girls weekend or family vacation.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with teenagers, girls getaway.

Three "old friends" decided it was time for a "girls gathering" in the Santa Barbara area. We found the listing for the Beach House in Carpinteria near by that fit our budget and we were not disappointed! Carpinteria is a great beach town and the Beach House felt like home. Plenty of room with everything one would need for their stay. Shopping, dining and the beach were all within walking distance. Bicycles were available for transportation as well. At the end of our week, we decided that we must return with our spouses as they would appreciate the Beach House and Carpinteria too!Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

I almost hesitate to give my review, because this vacation rental is so special that I'm afraid it will get so booked up that we'll never be lucky enough to rent again. The photos, while charming, don't begin to show how absolutely lovely and comfortable and roomy the Beach House is. There are so many treats for your eyes, as wherever you look you see beautiful and unusual decor to remind you that you are on vacation at the beach, with cheerful and soothing pastel walls painted various shades, and seashells, mermaids, seahorses and rattan abounding. Everything is of top quality, from the bed linens, to the coffee maker, the TV's in every room, the wine glasses, and the abundance of beach towels and chairs. The walk to the beach and to Linden Avenue (where the town's main action is) was short and easy... much closer than it appeared when I first checked out the distance on Google Earth. There are only 3 of us in our family, but the Beach House could easily sleep many more and would be perfect for larger families or groups of friends. The 2 floors of the house, the 2 decks, the attached Sugar Shack, and the large back yard provide tons of space. In short, vacationing at the Beach House is like staying at a favorite aunt and uncle's place, especially if your aunt is really good at decorating and making you feel comfortable. We can't wait for a return visit!Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

The Beach House was exactly as described online. It is clean, large, and had a lot of homey touches we were not expecting like lots of pillows, throw blankets, beach stuff, and especially, the beach wagon! For the first few days, we were 6 adults and 4 kids ranging in age from 1.5 - 10. The adults all had a bedroom, and the kids all fit well in the livingroom. Once we were down to a family of 4, we had room to spare. We spent our mornings biking around town, and our afternoons on the beach. The downstairs bedroom / living space is perfect for in laws, or teenagers. The upstairs is perfect for a more typical family. The house has a lot of stairs, so I might not recommend it for an older person who has trouble with stairs. What we really loved: the outdoor shower the porch and the balcony in the afternoon the garage to store all of our beach gear the proximity to the beach and town Without hesitation, I would recommend this property to most anyone. The owners have done a great job of making this house feel like our home away from home and I hope we can repeat this vacation again next summer!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

This is the second year we have stayed at the Beach House, and we absolutely love it there. Everything you need is provided, and it is so convenient to town and the beach. It now feels like our second home! The decor is beachy chic and is very comfortable. We love that we can walk anywhere and Carp is a very special town. We will be back, for sure.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway.

Ruta and family do a great job with supplying all of your needs in this shabby chic decorated beach house. Down to the linens, soap, games, and beach toys. This is a very comfortable home close to town, beach and restaurants. It's also great for entertaining family meals. The beach wagon is the best perk! Thanks for the great rental and we hope to make it a tradition!Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

I just stayed here with a group of women for a baby shower, 7 women to be exact. We had plenty of space and slept comfortably because the house comes with 2 pull out beds and a couch that can be turned into a bed. The house is SO adorable, very beachy and warm. We had a great time enjoying drinks on the upstairs balcony and taking the 5 minute walk to the beach. Ruta does a wonderful job of setting up the perfect weekend!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

The owner was very helpful and friendly. The beach house has a very big lot, with a spacious living room and two big rooms with king beds. The beds are very comfortable. We love the antique stovetop in the downstairs kitchen, and the grill in the backyard. The beach is right down the street, one of the most beautiful and peaceful beach I've seen in California. The location is very convenient. Shops, food, and the beach are all within walking-distance. Downtown Santa Barbara is only 15 mins away, so it is nice for a half day trip. There is a railroad behind the house, but at night there was no train crossing by, so that was not an issue to us at all.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

We stayed for an entire month at the Beach House and enjoyed every minute of our visit. The Beach House is a perfect way to spend time in the wonderful town of Carpinteria. It's outfitted with absolutely everything one could need, and is in an ideal location that is close to town, the beach and the Salt Marsh. The kitchen is totally complete, and we ate brunch every morning after a long beach walk at the cozy sunlit table in the second floor living area. The bedrooms are huge and very comfortable, and everything is decorated in beachy chic. The back yard is lovely and includes a barbeque as well as lawn furniture. Santa Barbara is only 20 minutes away, and you have tons of things to keep you busy in the neighboring environs.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2001
About the owner: Our family found this vacation spot by accident after spending fun summers in San Diego and wanting a place closer to home. A friend recommended Carpinteria. We tried it once and fell in love immediately. We spent a few seasons renting and finally decided we wanted to buy a place and make it our own.
Why the Owner Chose Carpinteria:
One of the nicest aspects about living in Carpinteria is that it is flat so walking is easy and biking is even better. There is also a cute little public trolley in town that takes you all around for 50 cents -- what a deal. I love the monthly Flea Market at the local Carpinteria Museum. My favorite purchases are antique jewelry and purses. They also have beautiful flowers and vintage housewares. The pizza at Giovanni's is the best anywhere and so is the local ice cream store on Linden. It's fun attending all the local activities hosted by the city. Small town charm is so hard to come by these days. And if you want a taste of the big city, then Santa Barbara is conveniently only 15 minutes north of Carp and wineries in the Santa Ynez family are an hour away. You have the peace and quiet of a small town but access to great museums, restaurants, theater and shops if you want it.

Our guests love surfing, swimming, kayaking, and fishing at the beach. Others prefer skateboarding at the park In Santa Barbara or renting tandem style bikes. Still others prefer rock climbing, hiking in the local mountains. Adventurous ones schedule boat trips for whale watching on the ocean or visiting the Channel Islands which leave from the Santa Barbara Harbor.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
While at the Beach House the first thing you notice is that you are walking distance to the beach, the salt water marsh preserve and to downtown Linden Avenue. We take the big beach wagon in the garage and fill it up with chairs, cooler, umbrella, boogie boards and take off to the beach. Afterwards we return to take outdoor showers and enjoy the backyard for a barbecue but first cocktails on the upper balcony watching beautiful sunsets or taking in the gorgeous mountain views on the back side. Cooking on the antique stove in the big kitchen that seats eight is fun -- so is discovering treasures in the 'Sugar Shack' the original structure to the Beach House built by the settlers that came out to Carpinteria from the midwest. Sometimes we take the train to Santa Barbara, the depot is two blocks from our house.
Many out of state guests enjoy the fair weather the area has to offer during the off-season. When it's cold and snowy in Canada or elsewhere in the United States the gentle weather locally attracts tourist who enjoy off-season rates and no crowds.
