Perfect Family Escape
Our family of four (including a one year old and three year old) stayed really comfortably between the two bedrooms. The living room / dinning area has a great amount of space to hangout in. We had more family staying in another unit and we mostly hung out in this unit for meals and movie time with that big comfy couch!

Nice Stay in Carp
Place was very nice and the property is right on the beach. Neighborhood felt safe, gated assigned parking was nice, and was very close to everything in the town. Would stay again.

Thanksgiving tradition
For years my family has spent Thanksgiving in Carp. This was our first time staying at this property. Perfect location. Two dedicated gated parking spots. Condo was immaculate. Kitchen extremely well stocked with just about anything you could need. This Condo does not have a beach view or any dedicated outdoor space that is private. For our group this was not a problem as the kids are 6 and 10 and could run back and forth as needed from the beach. The couch is little marshmallow- y. Also wish there had been a bigger bed in the primary bedroom along with bunks, it would have better served our family but overall just a really great place for some quality family time. Thank you so much.

Everything was well-maintained, comfortable and attractive. The beach was right down the stairs, so we could go back to condo and right back to the beach. The beach was really spacious compared to other areas of Carpinteria. We will definitely come back.
