Enjoy the beach life in this recently remodeled loft-style condo centrally located between the beach and downtown Carpinteria. Home of the 'World's Safest Beach', Carpinteria offers the quaint California beach town feel, conveniently located 12 miles south of Santa Barbara.

This comfortable and clean condo is furnished and decorated in a classic surf/beach theme. There is a sleeper-sofa for extra guests. We are only allowed to have 4 guests maximum. Two adults and two children. The kitchen is well stocked with the conveniences of home. The town trolley stop is just down the street.
Please note: The bathroom is upstairs.

Carpinteria and Santa Barbara offer countless activities and fine dining. Go bird watching at the Carpinteria Salt Marsh Nature Preserve across the street from the condo. Walk downtown to the shops and restaurants or ride the 'Pacific SurfLiner' train to downtown Santa Barbara. End the day with a sunset stroll on one of the cleanest beaches in California!

Avoid the crowds of south and discover California's new 'Gold Coast.' I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as we do. The condo is located at 130 Ash Avenue in Carpinteria, CA. You will find a link below the view Calender button that will bring up a Google map of the condo.

We visited this VRBO in June 2025. I had read previous reviews before booking.The condo was clean, supplies were abundant and I loved that I didn’t have to run to the store as soon as we arrived.The condo had everything we needed and we attempted to book for winter months, but they were unavailable. It is a great location and is close to beaches, salt marsh, Linden street and other places we have frequented in previous visits.

Our third annual vacation in Carpinteria ... our favorite Carpinteria VRBO accommodation!

This property is ideal for a vacation in Carpinteria. The condo is well appointed and offers everything one needs. It is very close to the beach, as well as within a comfortable walking distance to restaurants, etc. in downtown Carpinteria. The property owner/manager was very responsive to a couple of questions we had and available by email, text and phone.

Cozy Spot By The Beach

We were very happy with this condo near the beach in Carp. We have stayed in several places throughout the town of Carpinteria and really in enjoyed this one. It was clean, private, parking right by door, and steps from the marsh and our favorite end of the Carpinteria beach. Also, a short walk from all our favorite restaurants. Jay the condo responded right away to a question we had. Perfect place for us. We will stay again.

I had a great time. This Condo is one of My favourites here in Carpinteria. Great Location to Everything. You can hear the Surf at night from Your Bedroom. Walking to the Farmers Market on Thursdays was so convenient. Jay was so easy to get ahold of. (properly manager) The Neighbours were fabulous and treated Me as if We knew each other for ever. I give this Location a Ten! “10”

Great location, good for couple only

The apartment was about a block and a half from the beach but was small with a loft where the queen size bed was. The apt is loaded with everything you would need but is small. Bathroom is upstairs. Beach was great but Carp gets lots of overcast in the summer/fall. Bed was a little lumpy (recommend get a new mattress) and after 10 days I did have a hurt back. Small BBQ but no patio. The town is like going back in time. Would come back (especially if they got a new mattress).

Wouldn’t stay here again

Not well maintained (have photos) Dirty with other people’s grunge ...stove top, pots & pans not properly washed still had food stuck on, BBQ had someone else’s food stuck on it . The hair dryer was rusted and didn’t work . A bunch of miss matched sheets & towels . No detailed instructions for the (3) TV remotes ..it wouldn’t run twice in (10) days Very difficult to use the Lockbox ..again not complete instructions ..in the rain at night ..was almost impossible ..took both hands and nowhere to put anything out of the rain. Management was not easy to work with. Sorry to have to post this ..but it was probably one of the worst places I’ve ever stayed and I travel a lot.

Excellent Carpinteria Condo

Wonderful place to stay in Carpinteria next to the excellent salt marsh and half a block from the beach. There are lots of opportunities to see bird and animal life. Carp is close to excellent cultural and entertainment opportunities in Santa Barbara and Ventura. It is a very good walking town. We will be back next year. The condo is very nice and comfortable and an excellent home to stay in.

Loved it!!!

We loved this little condo!! Although it is small, it suited my family of 4 just perfectly! We loved the quick walk to the beach and town. We also loved that we were able to walk 5 minutes to the train station to take the train to Santa Barbara. Carpinteria is such a quaint little beach community it is perfect for a beach get away!! We will definitely be back and will absolutely stay in this condo!!

A nice place to stay that is very close to the beach!

We stayed here for a week in early August - family of 4 with two girls (7 & 4). Size - The place is a little small but still very functional - you can definitely make it work. Very clean, well organized, and pretty much everything you need. The condo is well represented by the description online. We used the kitchen daily and the grill outside came in handy. Cost - It's one of the cheapest locations that we found online for being that close to the beach. I think it's well worth the cost. Location - Perfect location. It's a block from the beach and there are public bathrooms at the midpoint. The outdoor showers there weren't working which was a bummer but not a major deal. The condo is on a street that abuts a marsh, so: 1) it's very quiet, unlike the downtown area a few blocks away 2) there are beautiful views, sunsets, trails within a 2 minute walk from the door. As mentioned, it's close enough to downtown - 10 minute walk to restaurants, stores, and a playground. For some reason all of the stores close at like 5:30 which is dumb, but what can you do. Overall: The place is small but cozy and well worth the money. You wouldn't want to spend the entire day in the place but why are you at the beach if you want to do that anyway. It's perfect for meals, lazy mornings, movie nights, and sleeping - otherwise you're at the beach, downtown, or somewhere else outside. Definitely recommend and will most likely return

Darling place, great location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at Sandpiper. The design is fresh and inviting, and the place is only 1 block from the beach. There are some water toys provided, as well as beach chairs, beach towels and umbrellas. The kitchen has everything you'll need to feel right at home. I slept on the sofa bed, and my two kids slept in the cozy loft. It was perfect for our "before school getaway"! I recommend you bring your bikes, park your car, and never drive the whole time you're here. Restaurants and shopping are walking distance from the condo. Mike, the manager, has been wonderful to work with...very friendly and got back to me right away with any questions. We would definitely stay here again.

GREAT LITTLE CONDO NEAR THE BEACH AND EXTREMELY CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE

The condo was impeccably clean, well stocked and just approximately 200 yards from the beach. It was quiet at night and convenient to downtown Carpinteria, and all the surrounding towns. A great little condo in a great little beach town.
