About this property

Paradise Retreat - 100 steps to the sand!

100 steps to the sand! Your stay at Paradise Retreat at Pacific Shores will have you soaking up the sun and enjoying the quaint town of Carpinteria. This location is across the street from the beach entrance and within walking distance to all the fun things in town.

The condo provides a comfortable sleeping space for 6. Three bedrooms allow you to rest easy after a day in the sun and surf, at the World's Safest Beach. Complete with bed linens, bath towels and beach towels, your stay will include all the comforts to ensure a relaxing vacation.

The upstairs kitchen flows to the open family room allowing for time together while preparing meals or watching the 55" TV. In the kitchen you will find dinnerware, flatware, drinkware, pots and pans, a full-sized refrigerator, microwave and range/oven. Additional amenities include a Keurig, dishwasher and trash compactor. A gas BBQ is also available in the courtyard, should you choose to prepare meals in the gorgeous California weather.

A comfortable family room and kitchen table allow for ample space to play board games, complete a puzzle or stream a movie. A large sliding door provides a great sea breeze - or nature's best air conditioning. The patio is spectacular for coffee when you rise or to enjoy an evening beverage while viewing the gorgeous sunset as the day settles.

Two parking spaces in a private lot will make your arrival much easier. Please keep in mind that the front door is only accessible by a set of exterior stairs. Once inside, the floorplan includes bedrooms and bathrooms on the first level, with a bedroom, bathroom and kitchen/living space on the second level. In total, the condo features two sets of staircases.

Ocean and beach fun is made better with beach supplies offered as part of your stay. Beach chairs, boogie boards, sand toys, and a wagon will help to create the memories that will keep you wanting to return! Our location not only keeps you close to the sand, but you will be just a 5-minute walk to the Carpinteria train station. Just a handful of blocks beyond, you will find restaurants, breweries, wine tasting rooms, shopping, and art galleries. Don't forget about the Thursday afternoon Farmers Market, located on Linden Ave, right in the heart of Carpinteria.

Your Carpinteria vacation will be sure to have you planning your next getaway to one the West Coast's best kept secrets!

Clean, Comfortable, Great Location

Our family of four had a wonderful stay! The unit had everything we needed. We especially appreciated the beach towels (those are bulky to pack) and soft blankets. Our host was responsive and instructions were clear. My only advice would be to bring a sleep eye mask if light bothers you; it’s a bit hard to keep the streetlights from coming through the blinds overnight. All in all, a great spot and we would stay here again. Easy walk to the beach and to restaurants. Thank you!

Great Layout & Spacious

We've stayed in several VRBOs steps from the beach in Carp. The decor in most of them is strikingly similar. What sets Crystal's apart is the layout and the spaciousness. With three bedrooms and two floors, it feels homey, and it's very comfortable. While it's not even a block from the beach, the best views are of the gorgeous mountains from the kitchen and second bedroom. Crystal was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. I would stay there again for sure.

Best condo and beach town ever!

This condo was beautifully decorated and is 1 row of condos from the beach! Our family enjoyed our 4 days here and can't wait to come back. The condo had everything we needed with enough beds, bathrooms and beach necessities for everyone. All you need to bring is your swimsuit! While the rest of the country was dealing with the heat...we had 65-71 degree weather all week. Thank you Crystal for being such a good host!
