Holiday rentals near Antioch University

no negatives at all.....perfect from the first contact to the last

A small house which had everything for a short break. The outside space was a perfect retreat. The beds were extremely comfortable with lovely linens. We used the bbq outside, and loved sitting around the fire pit as the evenings cooled. Dawn was very helpful and I had excellent communication with her.

Great hosts fantastic communication throughout the booking process. Arrived at the property to find lovely welcome pack and generously stocked larder. We could not fault this property and would highly recommend. The town of Carpinteria is a vibrant friendly town. The hosts are rightly proud of their town. We used the Amtrak to visit Santa Barbara, super easy to use and a great city to visit. For 4 travellers from England our stay in Carpinteria was a highlight of our California road trip.

The house is perfect, we absolutely loved our time there and there really isn’t any detail about the house or outside areas that we would’ve changed. It’s the perfect size for two people, the kitchen is so well equipped (and bigger than it looks in the photos) and the hot tub and outdoor fireplace add a special touch. The location of the house is great, just a few minutes walk from Lower State St, the funk zone and the beach. There are fantastic restaurants, bars and shops just a short walk away in any direction you choose to head in from the front door. Debbie and Jim are the kindest and most helpful hosts we’ve ever had on our travels, no problem is too big or small for them to fix. For example, I noticed there was no kettle in the house to make tea, so we mentioned it to Debbie and within a day she brought us a brand new kettle - problem solved! We wanted to go to the beach but didn’t have an umbrella for shade, we asked Debbie and again within a few hours we had a beach umbrella. They really do go above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable as possible. While we were staying there was some construction noise from a project happening opposite the house but that is the only even slightly negative thing we could say (and obviously that’s out of Debbie & Jim’s control). But I think if you’re out enjoying beautiful Santa Barbara and the surrounding areas on your trip, it wouldn’t be a big issue at all.

We have stayed here previously and didn't even look at other properties in the area before booking. It's quiet & peaceful & has everything we need. 😀

Fantastic place to stay with our 3 year old within 5 minutes stroll of a surprisingly quiet sandy beach. Walking distance to the zoo, excellent shop and trolley stop. Well equipped kitchen, BBQ in a quiet garden with comfortable seating. 2 good size bedrooms and several options for extra temporary beds. Very communicative and helpful owner put my mind at rest after the Montecito mud slide (neighbourhood was unaffected). Would love to come back.
