We had a wonderful time in Carpinteria! Leigh was a very welcoming host. She responded within minutes when we had questions. The place is lovely. It took 90 seconds to get to the beach (yes, I timed it!), and we enjoyed the hot tub. The kitchen is very well appointed, and the TV has countless streaming options. The downtown is only minutes from the place, so it's easy to shop, eat out, etc. The Salt Marsh Reserve is less than a block away. It was a wonderful stay - I highly recommend Leigh's place!
