About this property
Apt 4: Beautiful unit close to the Sand
Located in the beautifully renovated Tropic Shores Apartments, located steps from the best beach in Carpinteria, and directly across from the Salt Marsh Park. This unit is located on the first floor andhas been remodeled, and furnished with beautiful contemporary furnishings and amenities. Everything is new and beautiful. The exterior building has also been recently remodeled, with lush gardens and seating areas in the courtyard, and front gardens where you can enjoy a glass of wine while you watch the sunset. The entire apartment unit and private back patio areas are yours and yours alone.
Carpinteria is a cute little beach community fit into an area approximately 1 mile square. In that mile, "Carp" packs in at least 50 small restaurants and just as many cute little shops. My family has been in "Carp" for over 50 years, and the town still has the same small beach resort feel that it had in the 50's and 60's. For the beach loving visitors, "Carp" claims to be the "World's Safest Beach". There are decent waves for plenty of safe fun, and world class surfing not far away. The most enjoyable part for many, are the early morning or sunset walks down the beach. Whatever your preference, I know that you'll love your Carpinteria vacation. If you plan to hang around Carpinteria, you can literally leave your car parked the entire stay. You can walk almost anywhere in "Carp" in about 20 minutes...30 minutes max. I recently took a full walk of the town, from our door, through town, to the state parks and beach, and home again...and it took 50 minutes. There's also a local trolley bus which you can ride for fun, or if your feet get a little tired. For traveling North to Santa Barbara or Solvang, or South to Ventura or Los Angeles, you will need your car. Amtrak also departs from the Carpinteria station, only a 10 minute walk away.

Our stay was wonderful! The area is lovely and the apartment is only a block from the beach. The apartment was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed to feel right at home. I hope we will be back soon!

The host was very welcoming and gave good directions on how to enter the unit. Nice location and unit. It would have been helpful to have some directions for operating the TV in the directions binder.

Me and my girlfriend loved everything here. We had everything that we could ever need for a great weekend away from home. The host was amazing and very helpful. What stood out to us was the location. Everything was so close to us and we felt like we didn’t have to go too far to enjoy ourselves. Would recommend and we would definitely book again.

The apartment and amenities were in good condition. It's a great spot to stay so close to the beach and downtown areas. Being per friendly we could bring our dogs and make a great family holiday. My only concern was the music/TV noise from the neighbouring units in the early hours which was disturbing. But other than that the host, apartment and location were ideal.

Fantastic beach vacation!
This was a perfect spot for our family with two active young kids. Lots to do from bike riding, to the beach days! The location was truly a two minute walk to the beach and the beach was clean pretty and just enough waves for our kids to boogie board for hours.
There were plenty of good restaurants in Carpinteria that was serving outdoors or take out which made it easy and safe.
