Excellent winter beach stay

This house has great amenities, living space and comfy beds - terrific for our family of four's post-Christmas vacation. Just 2 blocks from a broad beach and an easy walk to Carpinteria which we have come to love. We also spend lots of time in Santa Barbara, Montecito, which were easy drives (but the freeway can get backed up). The kitchen is especially well stocked.

Great location and amenities

We enjoyed our stay so much we didn’t want to leave. Comfortable home in a perfect location. It is close to everything. We often used the bikes to travel around town. Quiet street. Fun time! It was perfect for 4 adults and a toddler.

Awesome rental - like new, great location and responsive host!

Fantastic stay! Host was very responsive. Rental was like new - kitchen fully stocked, very clean, great layout indoors and outdoors. Superb location - short walk to an amazing stretch of beach and the sweet town of Carpinteria. Bikes and boogie boards were regularly used by our sons! New bike path connecting Carp to SB is a wonderful addition. Have already recommended this rental to friends and hope to return very soon!

CLEAN and just as described

A 3-4 min walk down the street to Carpinteria beach. The house has beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, paddles, bikes—perfectly appointed. The house is spotless in whites and the owner/manager is responsive and very easy to work with. Santa Barbara is about a 15 min drive away but there are great restaurants and shopping in Montecito which is about 8-10 minutes away.

We LOVED staying here. The property felt like a home away from home... High end, well-decorated, well-maintained. Beautiful neighborhood, and easy walk to the beach and Carp town. We don't often do VRBOs any more since it feels like the lists of rules rival the IRS tax code and I honestly don't want to have to deal with that while on vacation. This property was *not* like that, and genuinely felt like a friend was letting you borrow their home for a few days. Thank you to the owners for sticking to the original ethos of VRBO and sharing their lovely home!The owners were very responsive and clear in their communication. Check in was easy. Kitchen was great and had all we needed and more!

Great Beach Vacation

Really great house and location. Just two blocks from beach and two blocks off of main drag of Linden. The bikes provided was great for our kids and us as it allowed us to get anywhere without the car. Great house for 2 adults and 2 kids. Only bummer was communication was abysmal. We drove 12 hours for this vacation and didn't receive any info until day of the trip. I emailed, called and texted and finally got a response 4 hours before arrival that "key is under mat". On first day I had one question that was answered and another about how to get TV to work that was never responded to. I figured it out. There was no info in the house re: tips to house and Carpinteria, which I found strange. We've used VRBO and AIrbnb over 10 times and I've never had a host be this unhelpful or simply not interested. It wasn't huge deal because it's vacation, not rocket science, and the house was great so I'd highly recommend.

Better than the pictures

Location is amazing and the pictures of the property don’t represent it as good as it is. Gorgeous inside. It rained the majority of the time we stayed there so could not take advantage of the lovely outdoor fire pit but did take a short ride on the bikes around the neighborhood to check out the beach.
