the apartment was nicely appointed with all the amenities. Mostly quiet, no air conditioning which is typical in Carp accept during a heat wave.The owner was very responsive. Location was good, 1/2 mile from the downtown. Very walkable.

Fantastic value close to the beach

Very clean, cute condo just steps from the beach and the salt marsh preserve. We love how quiet it is a few blocks from the main street, yet easy walking to all Carp has to offer. We would definitely rent this unit again.

Seaside retreat

Property is clean, well managed and convenient to beach, shopping and eateries. Also easy access to Ojai and surrounding trails for hiking.

Retreat for a retreat

Cute place with fun decor. This was a great little home-away-from-home for two friends attending a retreat in the area. A short walk to the beach. All the basics needed for comfort. Loved the lemon verbena soap and lotion and the tar removal packets. Would stay again in the future.

Quaint Get Away

My friends and I just loved the town of Carpenteria and the Tropic Shores condo was the best place to enjoy all the town had to offer. We walked 3 blocks into town and 1 block to the beach. What a treasure. We all plan to return.
