It was very nice and so close to the beach. I thought from the pictures it was a one bedroom, but it is a studio apartment. It was perfect for what my son and I needed. We had a great time and love staying in Carp and near the beach.

Great Beach Retreat

This condo is perfectly located - a minute walk to the beach and several minutes walk to restaurants, shops, bars, a grocery store, and the Amtrak station. Santa Barbara and Ventura are a half-hour drive. The unit is ideal for a couple or solos and the owner is very responsive. Pool and hot tub access is included as well as off-street parking.

A Block From Heaven

4-1/2 STARS. My 64 year old eyes required a flashlight to enter the lock box code due to the dimly lit hallway. Deadbolt key easy to copy and no lock-chain on door. Small studio. Comfortable bed with soft-mattress. Cramped bathroom. Fast WiFi at 314Mbps. Needs a work light over the kitchen sink (no dishwasher). Filthy banister on the communal stairway. Spa wasn't very hot. AND ONE BLOCK FROM A GREAT BEACH AND PARK!

Bathroom and bed

Well it was a great place and location. This place is not suited for larger or shall I say fluffy people. The toilet area was way too tight and the bed was too soft for our liking. I felt that the couch was going to break. I thought the legs were going to come out from under it. Price range was great but will be booking another place for next year.

great spot by the beach

This is a small (450 sq ft) apt with a recessed area for the bed and closet (right by the front door when you walk in). Plenty kitchen gadgets, towels, beach items etc. The location is fabulous as it is less than 1/2 block from the beach. The secure parking is a super plus. The negatives: bed is too soft (seriously) and the couch too hard. But that is a personal preference. Had a slight glitch in that when we arrived, the apt had not been cleaned. Called Chris and he had the cleaning crew there within 20 minutes (3 of them for this small apt) so it was well cleaned within 1 hour after our call. And Chris gave us a small discount for this snafu which was very gracious. Overall - I would recommend staying here if there are just two of you.

Good location place needs updated

First the good: Location was great Well Stocked (especially TP) Had boogie boards and beach chairs The not so good: Unit needs a deep cleaning, floors/walls Bed was way too soft and taco-y Couch was SO squeaky Unit could use updating (blinds, furnishings, linens/towels, basically everything) Bikes were very rusty - wouldn’t try it. Pretty good communication and quiet place near the beach. Although the beaches in Santa Barbara are way nicer. Would probably stay there next time.
