Wonderful Beach House

The Beach House was great for us! Very close to the main street of Carpinteria as well as the beach. We had a dog and an eleven year old with us and both enjoyed the house. The porches were great for relaxing an taking in the scenery. Beautiful backyard as well. The home owner was very responsive and easy to contact. We hope to be able to return someday!

Great family getaway

Great spot for a few getaway days in wonderfully charming Carpinteria. Accommodations were perfect for a dad, 13yo daughter and 11yo son. We didn’t use our car once as everything we needed was a bike ride away. The bikes and beach wagon in the garage were so helpful to facilitate our stay. And a fantastic beach (clean, nice sand, decent waves, clean public restroom) was only blocks away. Make sure you check out the vandenburg launch schedule as we had a great view of a rocket launch. Would definitely come back!!!

Spring break

Great location. The bedrooms were large and had one king and a twin roll away in each. Great view from the upstairs. Very close to the train tracks, but it did not seem to bother anyone. The window coverings in the bedroom do not do a great job blocking light so everyone was up early. There is not a hot tub like is listed on the front page, but it has a deep bath tub.

Great location - time for some updates

Ruta is an excellent host with great communication. The location couldn’t be better with easy walking beach and downtown access. There are 2 bedrooms upstairs with king beds. The rollaway beds in each of those bedrooms would be a challenge for any adult as they look highly uncomfortable. There is a blow up queen mattress upstairs that works great. Small kids could sleep on the couches upstairs. The upstairs bathroom is fine but needs updating. If someone needed access to the downstairs bathroom during the overnight hours, it would be a challenge to make your way down there. That bathroom is also in need of an update as it’s very cold on winter mornings and has carpet on the floors around the toilet and shower. Also the property backs up to the train tracks so if that is a concern, you may want to take that into account. This is a nice property in a nice neighborhood with a great landlord. It will be even better when they are able to make some updates. I’m thankful we were able to stay there during Thanksgiving.

About the host

Hosted by Ruta Aras

Our family found this vacation spot by accident after spending fun summers in San Diego and wanting a place closer to home. A friend recommended Carpinteria. We tried it once and fell in love immediately. We spent a few seasons renting and finally decided we wanted to buy a place and make it our own.

Why they chose this property

One of the nicest aspects about living in Carpinteria is that it is flat so walking is easy and biking is even better. There is also a cute little public trolley in town that takes you all around for 50 cents -- what a deal. I love the monthly Flea Market at the local Carpinteria Museum. My favorite purchases are antique jewelry and purses. They also have beautiful flowers and vintage housewares. The pizza at Giovanni's is the best anywhere and so is the local ice cream store, Rori's, on Linden. It's fun attending all the local activities hosted by the city. Small town charm is so hard to come by these days. And if you want a taste of the big city, then Santa Barbara is conveniently only 15 minutes north of Carp and wineries in the Santa Ynez family are an hour away. You have the peace and quiet of a small town but access to great museums, restaurants, theater, and shops if you want it.

Our guests love surfing, swimming, kayaking, and fishing at the beach. Others prefer skateboarding at the park In Santa Barbara or renting tandem style bikes. Still, others prefer rock climbing, hiking in the local mountains. Adventurous ones schedule boat trips for whale watching on the ocean or visiting the Channel Islands which leave from Santa Barbara Harbor.

What makes this property unique

While at the Beach House the first thing you notice is that you are walking distance to the beach, the salt water marsh preserve and to downtown Linden Avenue. We take the big beach wagon in the garage and fill it up with chairs, cooler, umbrella, boogie boards and take off to the beach. Afterwards we return to take outdoor showers and enjoy the backyard for a barbecue but first cocktails on the upper balcony watching beautiful sunsets or taking in the gorgeous mountain views on the back side. Cooking on the antique stove in the big kitchen that seats eight is fun -- so is discovering treasures in the 'Sugar Shack' the original structure to the Beach House built by the settlers that came out to Carpinteria from the midwest. Sometimes we take the train to Santa Barbara, the depot is two blocks from our house.

Many out of state guests enjoy the fair weather the area has to offer during the off-season. When it's cold and snowy in Canada or elsewhere in the United States the gentle weather locally attracts tourist who enjoy off-season rates and no crowds.
