Top Carpinteria Hotel Reviews

Mermaid’s Grotto - Beachfront 2BR on Carpinteria Sand

10/10 Excellent

"Great location!! Has all the stuff you need to enjoy the beach and everything in town is a short walk with beautiful scenery."

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

10/10 Excellent

"The place was great, walking distance to the beach, wonderful coffee shops, restaurants, boutiques. The town is very quaint and welcoming but the 30 second walk to the beach is the best! No AC so just make sure you are aware of that but that's pretty common in that part of the world. The apartment was great and parking was easy."

Steps from watching Sunsets in the Sand

10/10 Excellent

"What a wonderful stay! We came in for the weekend and had an amazing visit. There were four of us and it was very comfortable, clean and easy to access. The proximity to the beach and town is perfect and it is a quiet and beautiful little set of units. I would love to return and would highly recommend to others. The host was so easy to reach and we had all check-in information before we ever arrived."

Carpinteria Apt w/ Hot Tub - 10 Min Walk to Beach!

10/10 Excellent

"The location is fantastic! Lots of restaurants and shopping close, minutes from the beach. The layout is a bit different with the master bedroom at the back of the house, but you can also access it from the patio. It was perfect for 4 adults! The back patio is perfect for morning coffee, a soak in the hot tub and watching the sunset.I would definitely book this place again."

Beach Shanty - Coastal 1BR Retreat Near Beach & Downtown

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."
