Very enjoyable stay with shops, restaurants, & coffee shops within walking distance. Just steps off the beach with an ocean view from the deck. Sunsets were amazing! There's a nice walking area through the salt marsh nearby. We were there off-season which was enjoyable for us.
Loved this condo. The remodel is nice! The hooks for all of the towels and bathing suits are so convenient. We had a wonderful time. A portion of the other units were under construction and the pool and spa were not available but we still had a great time. Can’t wait to go back.
This was a bright, modern, clean condo. The only noise at night was the crashing of the waves. The access to the beach was so close and easy! The balcony was a nice spot to have coffee in the morning with a view of the ocean, and we enjoyed reading out there in the afternoon. Would stay there again!
Awesome location / great spot with beach , shops, dining close by !!
We will definitely be back !!

Mitch,
We're stoked you had a great visit. Rad gratitude for stickin' around and fueling Carpinteria's righteous waves of cool vibes, my friend! You're the real MVP of beachside bliss!
Sincerely,
Spencer and the team at Casago
The condo is beautifully decorated, well stocked, and perfectly located for beach access. Also, the condo is an easy walk to the local restaurants and stores. Super easy check in and check out process. Overall, amazing place to stay!
We loved our stay! Very clean, comfy beds, 2 minute walk to the beach. Kitchen was well stocked, pool was great for the kids.
Only complaint: slow internet & cable & no beach towels.
Location is perfect, it’s right across the street from beach. The place was beautiful, clean and had all the amenities. Would definitely stay here again.
This location is a super short walk to the beach and the beds are comfy! Needs more art on the walls and the kitchen could use salt/pepper/oil and hot pads for the oven.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
The unit was nice, comfortable, clean. The management company failed to inform us that the complex had major construction going on and that the advertised heated pool and hot tub were not available. I would not rent a property managed by Casago again.

We are so sorry to hear that you had a poor experience during your stay, however, this was mentioned on our listing The entire pool area; both pools and spa will be closed December 1, 2025- June 10, 2026. and that there would be construction happening, there for the pricing was at a discount rate. To us, you are welcome back anytime and we hope we can offer a better experience next time, once again we do apologize.
Stayed here during a LAX tournament at the Polo fields and we were so happy! Easy to get to the fields and right on the beach!

We loved this condo; you can hear/see the ocean, it is right across from a beautiful beach and we loved the wetlands walk. Very walkable and low-key town.

Great stay. Enjoyed closeness to beach and wee patio with ocean view. Updated spaces. Stairs were a little tricky for the little, but we expected that. Spencer (management) easy to talk with. Thanks!
