Top Tomol Interpretive Play Area Hotel Reviews

Sunny Beach Condo - Late Sept & Oct Dates Open! - Steps to the Beach & Linden

10/10 Excellent

"This property was perfect and exactly as described. We were in town working at the Avocado Festival and it was a nice walk to town. Lovely."

Beach Shanty - One Block From Carpinteria State Beach

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."

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