Communication was great and every detail was covered. We had a great weekend enjoying the beach just a half block away and walking to restaurants and shops that were all very close by. We even spent a little time relaxing at the pool. The place was very clean and comfortable with everything we needed. Definitely recommend this spot!! Thank you to the owner for making this a terrific birthday weekend getaway! ##### Kathy C. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul K., Huntington Beach 27 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cute Carpinteria getaway The Cute little Cottage by the Sea was amazing! A short walk to shops and restaurants and an even shorter walk to the beach. A very laid-back town and a beautiful beach. The Cottage itself was very clean and everything looked new! It had a very relaxing and beachy feel. The complex is very quiet has a nice pool. We hope to visit again! ##### Paul K. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Patricia 3 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, communication The location is fabulous. It is a very nice condo but doesn’t have any heat. Owner brought over a space heater promptly however. The mold around the tub edge needs addressing! We had a nice stay. ##### Patricia ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Wuksachi Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sequoia-National-Park-Hotels-Wuksachi-Lodge.h893730.Hotel-Information) > > [Narrow Gauge Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fish-Camp-Hotels-Narrow-Gauge-Inn.h4905068.Hotel-Information) > > [Tahoe Lakeshore Lodge & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Tahoe-Hotels-Tahoe-Lakeshore-Lodge-Spa.h19231.Hotel-Information) > > [Pismo Lighthouse Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-Pismo-Lighthouse-Suites.h10966.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monterey-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Monterey-Hotel-Spa.h18152.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ameswell Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mountain-View-Hotels-The-Ameswell-Hotel.h67369193.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Palo Alto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palo-Alto-Hotels-The-Westin-Palo-Alto.h428694.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort & Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Indian-Wells-Resort-Spa.h16130.Hotel-Information) > > [AutoCamp Yosemite](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mariposa-Hotels-AutoCamp-Yosemite.h29554711.Hotel-Information) > > [Little Sur Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Simeon-Hotels-Little-Sur-Inn.h1340615.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Vinea, a Travelodge by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Healdsburg-Hotels-Hotel-Vinea.h126590.Hotel-Information) > > [SeaCrest OceanFront Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-SeaCrest-OceanFront-Hotel.h1365352.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite Southgate Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oakhurst-Hotels-Yosemite-Southgate-Hotel-Suites.h3650.Hotel-Information) > > [Tenaya at Yosemite](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fish-Camp-Hotels-Tenaya-At-Yosemite.h28451.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites South Lake Tahoe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Lake-Tahoe-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-South-Lake-Tahoe.h8881.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Mountain Inn Nude Resort and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Sea-Mountain-Inn-Nude-Resort-Adults-Only.h27490625.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Vacation Club Lake Tahoe Resort South](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Tahoe-Hotels-Lake-Tahoe-Vacation-Resort-By-Diamond-Resorts.h64098.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Carmel Mission Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monterey-Hotels-Carmel-Mission-Inn.h21218.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Santa Clara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Clara-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Santa-Clara.h4313.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Orange County](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Orange-County.h15965.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marguerite Anaheim/Garden Grove, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Garden-Grove-Anaheim-South.h917954.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Omni-Rancho-Las-Palmas-Resort-Spa.h1703.Hotel-Information) > > [Papillon Cellars](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mariposa-Hotels-Papillon-Cellars.h36250072.Hotel-Information) > > [Casablanca Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Clemente-Hotels-Casablanca-Inn.h13340.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite View Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Portal-Hotels-Yosemite-View-Lodge.h576660.Hotel-Information) ---
