Quaint Get Away
My friends and I just loved the town of Carpenteria and the Tropic Shores condo was the best place to enjoy all the town had to offer. We walked 3 blocks into town and 1 block to the beach. What a treasure. We all plan to return.

Just Terrific
Very clean, professionally prepared and renovated property. Very quiet despite being in a multi uniit complex. Which itslef is very nicely done and clean. Great, safe location to beach and other walking trails literally within a 2 minute walk. Elana is the best host and highly responsive! One of the best property rental decisions we have made - wish they could all follow the recipe of this one. Made for a great Thanksgiving dinner and holiday as a result!

Perfect romantic get away
This property was a treat. Well provisioned and quality linens, plates and silverware made this stand out from most vacation rentals. This was perfect for a new couples romantic getaway.

Retreat for a retreat
Cute place with fun decor. This was a great little home-away-from-home for two friends attending a retreat in the area. A short walk to the beach. All the basics needed for comfort. Loved the lemon verbena soap and lotion and the tar removal packets. Would stay again in the future.

Fantastic value close to the beach
Very clean, cute condo just steps from the beach and the salt marsh preserve. We love how quiet it is a few blocks from the main street, yet easy walking to all Carp has to offer. We would definitely rent this unit again.

Overall was good. I made a mistake and thought it was a ground floor apt so was a little hard for us since we are older. But we did enjoy our stay. Beds and furniture could have been a little more comfortable.

Seaside retreat
Property is clean, well managed and convenient to beach, shopping and eateries. Also easy access to Ojai and surrounding trails for hiking. Looking forward to visit in the future to explore more of Carpenteria and surrounding areas. Manager Elena is a gracious hostess and responsive to questions and requests.

Perfect beach holiday
Our three weeks in Carpenteria were wonderful. The town is quaint with cute shops and good restaurants. The location is perfect for day trips to LA, Santa Barbara, Santa Ynez wine country and Solvang. Our favorite activity, though, was walking the beautiful beach in the sunshine. We even saw newborn seal pups on the beach at the seal sanctuary. After a busy day, we went back to the great condo. It was exactly as depicted - clean, and with a great kitchen and everything we needed to cook or go to the beach. We can't say enough about how kind and responsive both Elena and Mike, the owners, were if we had any questions or problems. We will certainly be back.

The apartment was very clean, updated, and comfortable for our family of four. Michael goes above and beyond stocking it with essential pantry and bathroom items. We’ve rented numerous homes on VRBO and have never had a better experience. Our family would book her again.

Beautiful Apartment 1/2 block from the beach!
This is a gorgeous apartment, well-equipped, and stocked with lots of fresh/unopened food. But the best part is the location, right across the street from a salt marsh nature preserve, and just a half a block walk to the beach. The beach is wide and beautiful and you can walk along it and then along a bike/walking path to tar pits and an overlook of a seal colony. It is so great to be able to do so much without getting in a car. We LOVED our time there.
