Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria South

8/10 Good

"Very friendly condo complex. Pool area was wonderful. Parking was easy. A very short walk to the beach (1 short block). Perfect weather. Host was easy to communicate with."

Steps from watching Sunsets in the Sand

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."
