Casa Del Sol

Casa Del Sol

8/10 Good
"Beautiful landscaping. Cozy clean rooms; although ours had a torn shower curtain that needs replacing and a broken towel hook that also needs replacing. Only a tiny " crescent moon looking" corner bar to hang clothes directly atop the 'fridge and micro--not adequate as we squeezed our dressy clothes there that we needed for the wedding we were attending. Simple breakfast of cereal, bagels, oj, coffee/tea, but enough for us. Unique decorative items in tiny lobby; very interesting things, some antiques."

Beach Shanty - One Block From Carpinteria State Beach

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."
