Perfect spot for a carpinteria week rental!

Everything about this adorable house was seamless! The location is just right for beach time (you can run ur kids back to the bathroom or to grab a snack if needed to from playing on the sand all day), or going into town (grabbed my stroller and walked my 3 kids up to the candy shop and had zero complainers!), or there is a park, or in the early mornings I could go for a perfect 2-3mile trail run past the campground over looking the bluffs. The house itself had writhing we could possibly need, fresh clean linens, toys for the kids, beach stuff on the side of the house, a fire pit to host a little bday party for my sister, plenty of grassed yard for my kids to play on, excellent seating for dinner, spacious kitchen for cooking to save money on too much take out. I really do look forward to coming back! The host, Lisa, was also exceptionally kind and considerate and it was a pleasure working with her whenever questions or assistance would arise. Thank you Lisa!

Our favorite stay in Carp!

Our recent stay at this house in Carpinteria was a wonderful experience. The beautiful home is just a block away from the beach and Linden Ave, making it an easy walk to both while still being in a quiet neighborhood. We appreciated all the thoughtful details, from the beach chairs and umbrellas with a beach buggy to the outdoor shower stocked with shampoo, body wash, and tar removal ingredients. We enjoyed using the outdoor fire table, and my son and his friend loved playing basketball in the spacious backyard. The house was clean and well-kept, and we were blessed with beautiful weather. We can't wait to rebook!

Delightful stay

The beach house is not only extremely well equipped with comfy beds, plush bath towels, kitchen items, games, etc. but even a crib and feeding chair for our 9 month old grandson. The location is ideal - between beach and restaurants/shops. We walked everywhere. Best of all, I can't imagine another host as wonderful as Lisa! She responded to all messages immediately and was "over-the-top" accommodating,

Spring break 2024

We had a wonderful experience and Lisa was an amazing host! We were a block from the ocean and walking distance to the campground where my cousin was camping. The home was well equipped with the proper cookware and spices, plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, backyard games, and all the things. Would definitely recommend!!

Cozy, comfortable stay in Carpinteria

We enjoyed our stay at this cute house in Carpinteria. It was a bit tight for 4 adults and two kids, but everyone slept comfortably. The kitchen is very well stocked, the beds were comfortable, and Lisa (the host) is very easy to communicate with. We loved the location and went almost everywhere on foot. We all wished we had stayed longer.

Beach Bliss

We found the property to be absolute beach perfection. It was very clean, had lovely beach decor, comfortable beds, clean bed linens and towels, wonderfully stocked kitchen, outdoor shower, and fire pit. It’s close proximity to the beach added to our enjoyment. Lisa was warm and generous with her kindness. This one is a gem located in lovely Carpinteria.

Wonderful stay

Our family of 4 enjoyed this sweet home. Perfect location in town — just a few steps to the beach, short walk to Carps downtown, and a great running trail along the bluffs to the seal rookery. Carp still has that small beach town vibe but is also a short hop to Santa Barbara, which was great for us. The house was cozy & had all the amenities we needed. The owner was exceptionally communicative and helpful.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Martyn

Hello ~ I grew up coming to Carpinteria from my hometown of Burbank. I LOVE this amazing town and am very grateful for all the memories! Although my kids (now adults) were born and raised in Ohio, they also love Carp!

Why they chose this property

The location is PERFECT ~ 1 block from the beach and 1 block to the main street of Carpinteria, Linden. It's very walkable, even with little ones. There's a park at one end of the street and a nature preserve at the other end.
The house is set up very well and the large, fenced in backyard is PERFECT too! (Large enough space for a basketball hoop, a firepit table, a barbeque, outdoor dining and a grass area for yard games.)

What makes this property unique

I've enjoyed hosting and sharing my home for 17 years ~ I am truly a host that has taken great pride in creating a space that allows my guests to have a wonderful stay and create special Carp memories of their own!

Thank you for considering my home for your time in Carpinteria!
