Clean & comfortable beds and an amazing location. We’ve stayed here twice. It’s a reliable spot that could use some tlc and a few more kitchen items / repairs but the location makes it perfect.
Beautiful and spacious. Great location, close to shops and restaurants. Comfortable beds and overall quite cozy. Accurately described. We enjoyed our stay!
The apartment was clean and welcoming! We enjoyed being so close to shops and restaurants, as well as walking distance to the beach.
Our pups also loved being able to vacation with us!!!

Beautiful place, centrally located
This rental is right in the middle of Carpinteria. Very clean, comfortable beds. We went for AvoCabo Festival and could listen to the bands from our back deck. Short walk to the beautiful beach.
This has become one of our favorite Carp rental spots...
My family and I have probably come to Carp for 10 or 12 short stays over the years, and this rental location is one of our very favorites. This was the third time we've rented from the Castro House, and I imagine we'll probably keep doing it. Super cute, comfortable, clean, cozy... all the good c's!
Amazing property. Yard is split but still very private. Close to everything if you want to park and have a relaxing weekend

Great location/large space
We had an enjoyable stay. The positives - The location was great - walking distance to lots of restaurants. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels. The kitchen appliance were new and clean. Some of the cons - As stated in other reviews, the bathroom was very small and there was no heating element in the bathroom and water pressure was very low. Additionally the house is right next to(and facing) a gas station. We had a great weekend.

Charming stay
This was our first experience with Evolve Rentals. We loved this apartment inside a 122 year historic home. It was well kept, clean, & centrally located in the cute little town of Carpinteria. The master bedroom bed is the most comfortable bed ever! The backyard is perfect for working remote or reading a book while on vacation. It was nice to have a private hot tub. This unit was so charming and we hope to be back! The proximity to the local restaurants and 10 minute walk to the beach were awesome :)

New favorite place
My family and I have been coming to Carpinteria for 20 years now. We have stayed in tents, RVs, condos & pretty much everything in between. This was BY FAR our most favorite place ever! The beds were THE most comfortable were ever slept in on any vacation! The location is PERFECT! We did not hear the train ! The host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and accommodated! We loved having our own private spa & place for our FURson to join in the vacation. We will definitely be back and share our wonderful experience with all of our friends & family.
Just a wonderful place to stay in Carpinteria. Really can't beat the location, comfort, space, backyard, parking, etc. Right by the main streets of the city, yet quiet and charming.

Wonderful experience!
We absolutely love staying in the Castro house in the heart of Carpinteria! We love the spacious layout of this historic vacation rental! Everything was well appointed, the beds were so comfortable. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. to cook meals and loved the 10 minute walk to the beach. Jana was very responsive with messaging and very sweet as well! We look forward to coming back soon. I highly recommend staying at the Castro house! Warmly, Arabella

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
The host was extremely responsive. The home itself was over 100 years old and had all the problems that come with age: no heat in one of two bedrooms and the bathroom; no working outlets in the bathroom; bad smell; ant infestation. The shower had a single, half-panel of glass so you were basically out in the open and without heat, it was freezing.

Charming place!
Loved this quality home of character! Beautiful throughout with comfortable beds, enjoyable private hot tub, nice kitchen, good and helpful communication and with every other amenity we needed. Also, location wise you can easily walk anywhere in this quaint town. With such lovely old time detail, they just don't build homes like this anymore.
Enjoyed our stay for our daughter’s graduation. Loved being able to walk to restaurants and the beach. The house is well located and we liked the private back patio area. One small bathroom is not ideal but beds were comfy and kitchen and living space were good!
