Our favorite place to stay when we are in Carp!

Can’t beat the peace and quiet! Very comfortable and an easy walk to the beach, in fact an easy walk to any where in Carp. Excellent care from the ownership team. The cleaning crew was not qualified and did not live up to the owner’s standards ( that’s why the one star) BUT our entire cleaning deposit was returned.

Location location location

I loved the location of this thoughtfully appointed home. Stayed for a business trip and the highlights were am & pm walks on the beach and salt marsh. Check in and out were easy. Note that there is no AC, which is generally not an issue in Carp but could be a bit warm if staying during a heat wave. Overall, recommend!

Lovely Condo in excellent location

We loved our stay at the Sandpiper condo! It was very clean and well stocked. A bit tight for us and our two teenaged girls but we were just there for two nights so it was fine. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the beach, right across from the salt marsh, and close to all the restaurants and shops in the downtown area. We loved it and highly recommend!

Wonderful location and place.

Although we were out much of the day it was nice to come back to a condo that was clean and comfortable. The condo was close to the beach house where our family was staying as well. The amenities were great at the condo as well. Thank you

Cozy, Efficient

Anyone who has dried fennel as a spice option for guests has my recommendation...that, and a nearby walk around the marsh, a cliff-side walk along the Pacific, a book on the history of Carpinteria in the reading room, efficient kitchen,...great (but quite small) place.

Extraordinary Condo

I really enjoyed My stay here. What a Kitchen. This Condo has so many unique features and just a half of a block from the beach. The Salt Marsh and Nature Trail is across the street. On Thursday’s I enjoyed going to the Farmers Market in downtown about 4 blocks away. I’m coming back soon for an even longer stay!

Move to California

We have moved to Carpinteria to start a new job. We rented the place for a month to start working and looking for a permanent place to stay. This temporary house was a perfect choice as it has all needed inventory already that you need for daily live, and even more it is very lovely furnished and decorated. Best is also the location from where it is only a short walk to the beach. Overall we enjoyed the stay and would recommend the place for hollidy or temporary stay.
