Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria North

8/10 Good

"The bed was comfortable. Staff was very friendly. They were welcoming. There was only one large towel with several hand towels.important to know they did not supply any soap"

Exquisite Carpinteria Beach Cottage, Steps Away From The Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay! The location was perfect; close to everything and just steps from the beach. We enjoyed walking to the beach for sunrise and sunset, as well as easily strolling to nearby restaurants and coffee shops. Michael was also very responsive and helpful whenever we had a question. Such a cute, comfortable place in a great location. We would happily stay here again!"

Steps from watching Sunsets in the Sand

10/10 Excellent

"What a wonderful stay! We came in for the weekend and had an amazing visit. There were four of us and it was very comfortable, clean and easy to access. The proximity to the beach and town is perfect and it is a quiet and beautiful little set of units. I would love to return and would highly recommend to others. The host was so easy to reach and we had all check-in information before we ever arrived."

Carpinteria Apt w/ Hot Tub - 10 Min Walk to Beach!

10/10 Excellent

"The location is fantastic! Lots of restaurants and shopping close, minutes from the beach. The layout is a bit different with the master bedroom at the back of the house, but you can also access it from the patio. It was perfect for 4 adults! The back patio is perfect for morning coffee, a soak in the hot tub and watching the sunset.I would definitely book this place again."

Beach Shanty - Coastal 1BR Retreat Near Beach & Downtown

8/10 Good

"Ideal location! Walking in Carp is so lovely and this was steps from the beach and all the shops. The property was fine- very dated and no extras. The king bed was comfortable and the kids slept fine in the pullout and the bed under the stairs. Upstairs had slanted roof, had to bend over when getting dressed no view or windows, just a skylight and the downstairs window looked straight into a hedge on a very slim walkway. Great place if all you need to do is sleep or it’s just two people. The price is for the location and it’s clean with responsive hosts who were very welcoming and accommodating."
