Enjoyed our stay for our daughter’s graduation. Loved being able to walk to restaurants and the beach. The house is well located and we liked the private back patio area. One small bathroom is not ideal but beds were comfy and kitchen and living space were good!

The unit was nice, clean and comfortable. The bathroom is not so great…shower is a good size, but sink is TINY. Also, you have to walk thru one bedroom to get to the bathroom and second bedroom. All in all, it was a nice stay, good location (walkable to restaurants and grocery store), nicely updated kitchen and comfy couches and beds.

This has become one of our favorite Carp rental spots...

My family and I have probably come to Carp for 10 or 12 short stays over the years, and this rental location is one of our very favorites. This was the third time we've rented from the Castro House, and I imagine we'll probably keep doing it. Super cute, comfortable, clean, cozy... all the good c's!

Charming stay

This was our first experience with Evolve Rentals. We loved this apartment inside a 122 year historic home. It was well kept, clean, & centrally located in the cute little town of Carpinteria. The master bedroom bed is the most comfortable bed ever! The backyard is perfect for working remote or reading a book while on vacation. It was nice to have a private hot tub. This unit was so charming and we hope to be back! The proximity to the local restaurants and 10 minute walk to the beach were awesome :)

Beautiful apartment close to everything!

We had such a nice weekend getaway in Carpenteria staying at the Castro house. The apartment is in a beautiful historic house that is well maintained and feels both cozy and spacious with tall ceilings and lots of woodwork. The hot tub on the back deck is private and glorious after a day of hiking and walking around downtown. There is a coffee shop and seafood restaurant across the street and you’re just a block away from the main street with most of the restaurants and shops. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful house, small hiccups

The house was beautiful, clean, and matched the photos, and the location was great. Overall we were very pleased with our stay. We did have a couple small hiccups with communication, and the bathroom was very small because it is a historic house, so it may be something to keep in mind if you’re traveling with more people. However, if you’re looking for a beautiful historic house in a very picturesque, nice location, we would definitely recommend staying here.

Awesome, private apartment in a historic home.

This is a unit in a large historic house. It really is walking distance to everything in Carpinteria that you need- we walked to all our meals, the beach, and even took the train one day. Bedrooms are attached so ideal for a family that doesn't need much privacy. The property is next to a gas station but you wouldn't notice it with a large hedgerow virtually making it unoticeable. Great hot tub and secluded deck, and A+ kitchen appliances for preparing meals at the house. Really small bathroom sink. Jill, the owner; was great- friendly when we met her but wasn't intrusive and it allowed for a great family vacation.

If you want comfort this is not the place

The location was perfect. It’s an older house so I reserved the upstairs unit and downstairs unit. You can hear every move from the upstairs as expected and you can hear your neighbors, why I reserved the downstairs unit as well however I didn’t know there was an additional unit directly under the upstairs, so there were complaints with another family about noise. I was upstairs alone and my mother downstairs could hear me. The pullout couches in both units were awful. I tried to let the property management know how uncomfortable we were, and she had no suggestions other than me, asking her for more thick blankets to lay down. The futon on the downstairs in the bedroom was very uncomfortable. For 3 nights of our stay we would wake up freezing. I set the thermostat to 70 before I went to bed and when I would wake up it was set to 63 I could not understand why the temperature kept dropping so then again I contacted property management to let her know what was going on that I had a 5 month old and my mother who is 65 staying here and how do I keep it at 70. She said I had 100% access to the thermostat.. I then realized she was turning it down because after that it stayed at 70. The back bedroom in the downstairs does not stay warm, it’s the coldest room in the house where my mother was staying. It has a fire place but I assume that’s for look’s because it did not keep the room warm. We were very uncomfortable.

Great for small families

It was very easy to find. The location is convenient, with shops, restaurants, grocery store, etc all within walking distance. People walking their dogs throughout the neighborhood made it feel home-like. The main bedroom is a really nice size. The beds were comfortable. Kitchen had every appliances and cookware needed to make our holiday dinner. I highly recommend this rental, particularly for small families, despite these cons: 1. Set up: the kitchen, dining and living area are side by side on one side of the house; to get to the other side of the house, where the bathroom and main bedroom are located, you must go through the second/smaller bedroom. This meant constant traffic in the 2nd bdrm to get through to either side of the house (unless you don't mind going outside, through the backyard, as there is a door in the main bedroom that leads to the backyard, and then another door outside that enters the kitchen) 2. There's a railroad nearby, so the sound of a train passing happened daily, sometimes more than once per day and sometimes early morning. 3. The main bedroom was freezing cold at night, even with the heater turned on - I did not see any vents in this main bedroom, which I think was the problem with getting it warm (the main bedroom appeared to be an add-on, but I may be wrong about that). I think a small portable heater could resolve this problem. Check in was a challenge because we did not receive the email check in instructions until a few hours after the check in time. But, we called the property manager and they answered right away and provided instructions over the phone for entering the home. Again, despite the challenges above, I'd absolutely rent this property again (with a portable heater during cold season lol). It's such a cute location and home.

Great location/large space

We had an enjoyable stay. The positives - The location was great - walking distance to lots of restaurants. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels. The kitchen appliance were new and clean. Some of the cons - As stated in other reviews, the bathroom was very small and there was no heating element in the bathroom and water pressure was very low. Additionally the house is right next to(and facing) a gas station. We had a great weekend.

This rental is right in the middle of Carpinteria. Very clean, comfortable beds. We went for AvoCabo Festival and could listen to the bands from our back deck. Short walk to the beautiful beach.
