This luxury 2nd floor apartment was just remodeled with the highest quality and craftsmanship, and furnished with beautiful rich leather decor. The Tropic Shores apartments are a quiet, lushly landscaped 16-unit complex and one of the finest properties in Carpinteria.
Your luxury apartment is located steps away from one of the the nicest beaches in California. Step on the sand and turn right, and you'll enter a beach area where you can enjoy a leisurely walk on a beautiful uncrowded beach. Tropic Shores Apartments are located 200 yards from the best beach in Carpinteria, and directly across from the Salt Marsh Park area.
The town of Carpinteria is pretty small, measuring approximately 1 mile square. There are at least fifty restaurants, and many cute little shops, all within easy walking of your apartment. If you're not familiar with "Carp", I recommend you plan a couple hours for a leisurely walking tour of the town. We all have our favorite places and I'm sure you'll find a few of your own. Carpinteria beaches are the highlight, and we have the best beach a couple minute walk from your door. If you plan to hang around Carpinteria, you can literally leave your car parked the entire stay. You can walk almost anywhere in "Carp" in about 20 minutes...30 minutes max. I recently took a full walk of the town, from our door, through town, to the state parks and beach, and home again...and it took 50 minutes. There's also a local trolley bus which you can ride for fun, or if your feet get a little tired. For traveling North to Santa Barbara or Solvang, or South to Ventura or Los Angeles, you will need your car. Amtrak also departs from the Carpinteria station, only a 10 minute walk away.

About the host
Hosted by Mike Krumm
Carpinteria has been our family's favorite vacation destination since I was a small child in the 1950's. After several years of camping at Carpinteria State Campgrounds, our parents decided to build Tropic Shores Apartments and make this our second home. A few years ago, our parents both passed, away after a full and long life, leaving Tropic Shores to the four brothers, Tom, Richard, Mike, and Jeff. Since we all feel a very special connection to Carpinteria, we decided to remodel the building from ground up, and keep it in the family for our children to enjoy.
Why they chose this property
Tropic Shores is a small building of 16 units, all located with a center courtyard of lush landscaping...some of which were planted by our father over 50 year ago. The building is very quiet and your are sure to find it easy to relax and re-energize. While we're not right on the beach, we are located so close that you can hear the waves crashing at night. 200 steps and you're on the sand. Directly across the street is the Carpinteria Salt Marsh, which is basically a bird sanctuary. You may enjoy quiet walks through the Salt Marsh watching for birds or other animals while watching the sun rise or set.
What makes this property unique
Carpinteria is one of the las remaining small beach towns found during the mid 1900's, essentially unchanged over the last 5 or 6 decades. It's a town where you may feel safe allowing your children to walk or bicycle through town on their own. Named "The World's Safest Beach" because of the protection of the Channel Islands, the surf rarely gets very large...but still large enough to enjoy the waves. When you're ready for something more exciting, there are dozens of wineries, golf courses, movie theaters, and restaurants in nearby Santa Barbara and Ventura.
