Motel 6 Carpinteria, CA - Santa Barbara - South

8/10 Good

"Clean rooms, plenty of parking, walking distance to the beach"

Best Western Plus Carpinteria Inn

8/10 Good

"This is a lovely property. The only negatives were 1) we asked for spoons to eat some ice cream we purchased and all the front desk staff had were forks (not the end of the world, but still...) and 2) the restaurant's coffee machine was broken in the morning so no coffee was available. The room coffee was at least a decent back up. We would recommend this hotel and would stay here again."

NEW 2BD Luxury Beachfront Condo in Carpinteria. Stunning Ocean Views!

10/10 Excellent

"The location was beautiful just like the picture. Wonderfully located near food pubs breakfast houses etc. very clean property. Would stay here again. The bed and couch were very stiff. I think these should be considered to be upgraded. And the pillows were flat."

Just a few steps from Carpinteria State Beach. Bright, clean and cozy.

10/10 Excellent

"We found this little condo sparkling clean, lovingly decorated, and well equipped. It’s a small space but very comfortable for my sister and I. It’s more like a studio-plus, so sister took the bed and I used the couch. The couch was amazingly comfortable-I slept really well every night! The property as a whole is very pretty and well maintained. The beach is very close, just down the stairs and across the street. Our host, Chris, was easy to reach and was kind and helpful. We would definitely stay here again! "

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Carpinteria by IHG

8/10 Good

"The hotel is under construction so that made things a bit complicated. But the room was nice and spacious and clean. The continental breakfast was terrible. The lady working the breakfast was…well she made us feel a bit uncomfortable. She was constantly rushing around the room and hovering over us. It made us feel like we were being watched and about to be scolded or something. The pool area felt dated and small but did the job. Just seemed a bit pricey for what we got. I’ve gotten high class beach side hotel rooms for this price. Not a lot of options in the area so I think we will be returning for an event in the future. "

Luxury Sandcastle Beachfront! Sleeps 8 - Walk Everywhere!

10/10 Excellent

"This house is beyond expectations. The simple modern decor of the house exemplifies the natural beauty of the views outside all of the giant windows. The house had everything you need to just settle right in. It felt like home from the comfortable furtniture to the stocked pantry to the beach toys. We rented this home for a beach vacation while we watch my grandson play baseball at Westmont college. It was perfect for me, my mom, my daughter and son-in-law, and my three grandkids. Everyone had their own space but enjoyed the sahred spaces more than we expected. We had dinners on the deck, morning and evening walks on the beach, and sat on the swing while the kids played in the ocean. It's close to all the amenities you could need. We would definitely stay again in the future. Thank you for allowing us to make wonderful memories in this amazingly gorgeous home."
