The condo was fantastic. Beds were comfy, linens were all great quality. The balcony was a great place to sit and enjoy the ocean breeze. No AC but honestly, it wasn't necessary. Plenty of fans and great air flow with a nice ocean breeze! Carp is a great place to walk, bike, hike and enjoy the beach!
Host was wonderful and easy to. Communicate with. Condo was beautifully decorated, extremely clean and had all kitchen needs.Only thing was you had to go through a bedroom to get to the bathrooms. Overall we had a wonderful time.
The condo was clean, well stocked and spacious. The complex was also clean and quiet. It was a short walk to the beach, which was easily accessible. The beds were comfy, and the showers had good pressure. The area had lots of options for eating and shopping. It’s a clean, safe area that our teens could wander without worry. We’re hoping to stay there again :)
The place was clean, comfortable and convenient within a block from the beach. The host was responsive and accommodating. Looking forward to our next trip to the area, where we can enjoy staying by the beach.
Paradise Retreat was a wonderful place to stay! Crystal was wonderful to work with. She even let us check in early. The house was clean and stocked well. It was so close to walk to everything and the beaches were amazing!! We will defiantly return again!
The property is truly 100 steps from the beach. The condo is of a good size with a nice well equipped kitchen. It was very clean Another big plus is that it came with many beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, and umbrellas. I would not recommend for anyone who has difficulty with stairs. There is one flight of stairs to the front entrance and two bedrooms A second flight to the kitchen, living room, and third bedroom. There were two showers but to use a shower from the 3rd bedroom, you did have to go through the 1st or 2 nd bedroom. Unit does come with a covered parking spot.
Clean property. Plenty of beach toys and towels. Just a few steps to the beach. It was easy communicating with the owner. We would stay here again next time.
The place was perfect for our needs and clean! Loved that it was just steps away from the beach. The only feedback I would give along with all our guests, is have either celling fans or box fans in the bedrooms. The rooms get really warm.
Really nice write ups about things to do and places to visit! They also left a number of items to use at beach, and in the unit! It is a beautiful place!
This property is extremely clean and verry well equipped. It has all your needs for a day on the beach. we loved out stay and the property manager is fantastic.
The place is great and the communication could not have been better. The only reason I did not rate the stay 5* is because the beds are really hard and the shower situation is difficult to navigate and still have privacy.
Crystal is a wonderful host and was very easy to get a hold of before and during our stay with any questions. We love the location because we were able to walk everywhere during our vacation. The condo is very clean and cozy and worked out well for our family of 6. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy time in Carpinteria, it is our family’s favorite place to vacation
This is a really nice place to stay. It was clean, nicely decorated, with comfortable furniture and beds. The host really went the extra mile by providing everything needed for the beach. We had boogie boards, sand toys, chairs, everything. We will definitely stay here again.

Very clean with great amenities and close to the beach. Crystal was very thorough with check in and rental details, accommodating, and helpful. Stairs (provided in the description - to the entrance and to the main level) and an uncomfortable bed in the master suite prevented 5 stars. Otherwise a very lovely place and stay.
Airy, beachy, spacious, and super-clean condo. Has everything. Quiet, off the street; just a two-minute walk to the ocean. Absolutely perfect for family of adults over a holiday weekend.
