Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria North

Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria North

8/10 Good
"This used to be a Motel 6, but now it’s rebranded to be a Vagabond Inn. Same color scheme, just a different name. No frills, a room, a pretty decent pool, right next to the freeway. There are plenty of dining options within a 5 minute drive."

8/10 Good
"The condo was clean and in close proximity to the beach and eateries. The condo was quite and felt very safe. It was nice to have a designated parking space, which made it so easy. The host was quick to answer questions. The only issue, it was very hot in the condo due to the weather. Unfortunately, because it is coastal, the condo does not have a/c, only fans. During the time we stayed it was particular hotter than normal, the fans did not seem to help with cooling the place down. However, I imagine that is not the norm. Usually, the coastal areas cool down during the evenings. I do encourage others to stay and enjoy their time at this condo."

"This listing was as advertised and more. My Wife and I found the Condo cute, quiet and very quaint . It's well stocked with supplies for the beach as well as the kitchen needs. There is a short walk to the beach ( one block ) easy access to stores and restaurants. The neighbors are friendly and pleasant. The neighborhood is quiet once the Sun goes down."
