NEW Sandbox Solimar Sands, Steps from the Beach!
The condo is directly across from the beach, and an easy walk from the main strip with tons of cute shops and restaurants. The unit itself is clean, and comfortably fits four adults and two kids. It came with beach toys for the kids to use which was a huge plus. A great spot for a vacation!

Steps to beach/Pool/EV charger/Parking/King bed
Our family had a wonderful time at this space. The unit was comfortable, spacious and very well stocked. We enjoyed the short hike along the bluffs to watch dolphins and seals. We spent hours on the wonderful beach steps away. The comfortable heated pool and hot tub were a great way to end the day. We would love to return one day.

Seascape - Beachfront Splendor in Mussel Shoals
This is a beautiful home in one of the few waterfront properties between Santa Barbara and Ventura. The host was highly responsive and accommodating, and the place was very clean despite some wear and tear. The only cautions I would give to someone looking to stay here are that (1) the pool and hot tub are extremely narrow, (2) the house has no air conditioning, and (3) a large suburban or truck won’t fit in the carport with the gate closed. Otherwise a great place to stay.

Charming Coastal Getaway
Charming unit and a short walk to Linden Ave. A few hundred yards to beach entrance. Host was very responsive. We will come again.

Carpinteria Cozort Beach Properties #65
We had a wonderful time at Rob’s place. “Close to the beach” is an understatement. Its literally steps to the beach! I was completely comfortable and relaxed, and Rob was very attentive, making sure I had everything I needed. The check in was super easy, the space was just what I wanted, and the owners are lovely. They take a great deal of pride in their units and really, really want their guests to be happy. We were there over Labor Day, and there was the best kind of energy- families, couples, and locals. The grounds are beautiful and in the morning, the plants smell so sweet! The apartment has a semi private stairway, so you’re not walking past other units. There’s a parking lot (gated), but we found it easier to park in front. There’s a big BBQ, pool and laundry (but you need to download an app). The picture he posted of the burger place is a must! It’s an adorable experience that makes you feel like you’re in the 50’s. The beach is pristine, and the space is relaxed.

Carpinteria beach/pool condo/awesome beach views
It s a beautiful location to walk to the beach and restaurants. The pool and hot tub were great

Cottage by the Sea steps to beach with heated pool
Great host, great location, fun stay. Highly recommended. Jumped on the surfliner Amtrak and took our kids to the Santa Barbara Zoo. Hung out on the beach just down the road from the apartment. Awesome time!

Carpinteria Beach Studio Condo
The Sandyland Studio in Carpinteria CA was absolutely wonderful. The location is barely a two min walk to the beach and all the fun restaurants and shops are in walking distance. The place felt fresh, cozy and had multiple amenities. Our family of four (two elementary aged children) also slept comfortably on the queen bed and the full/queen sized pull out couch. Highly recommend this spot and we will book this place again in the future.
Beachfront home rentals with a hot tub

Oceanfront At Faria Beach- The Salt Bungalow
Incredible property! Megan was an ideal host, quick to respond and more than accommodating. The home was perfect for our little family. The proximity of water to house was second to none. We have travelled quite and bit and use Airbnb often, the jacuzzi to fire pit to ocean proximity is unmatched. Will definitely stay again, can’t recommend Megan or her property enough!

Calypso Breeze|Hot Tub|Short Walk to Beaches|Games
Great spot right next to the beach. We watched the sunset on the beach, took bike rides to the pier and spent countless hours in the jacuzzi. Check in was seamless and the garage was an added bonus. Keep in mind that it's a tight squeeze and an SUV will probably not fit in there. The host was very responsive and took care of an initial issue with the hot tub. It was one of the main reasons we booked it and we were glad he responded quickly.

Romantic Luxury Water Front near Santa Barbara
We absolutely loved this place! It was so relaxing to be right on the water, and to be able to hop in the hot tub on a cold morning :) The beds were incredibly comfortable and the primary bedroom felt like a luxury suite. The host and property manager are also lovely. Very kind and easy to communicate with. We will definitely be back!

Luxurious Modern Beach Home Loaded With Amenities
Such a beautiful large condo Great location and Terri was so kind and helpful. Had access to e bike which was so fun. Hot tub was relaxing and really enjoyed having an outdoor warm shower after going to the beach. Loved this spot and would definitely stay here again!

Shoreline Escape
Amazing little beach side cottage. We booked this place for my wedding and it was perfect. I got to relax days before the wedding had an amazing vacation, and then all me and my girls were able to get ready easily day of. I dream of coming back perfect house! Beds are super comfortable too!

Jardin de la Mesa - Walking Distance to Beach
Great spot with everything we needed. Quiet neighborhood close to the beach and the Mesa. Very comfortable beds!

Montecito Lemon Grove Cottage
Better than a 4/5 star hotel. A cozy retreat that truly feels like a home away from home. The cottage is an absolute delight—beautifully decorated, exceptionally clean, and thoughtfully laid out for comfort and ease. The patio is a wonderful addition, making the space feel even larger, and there's something special about waking up and opening the French doors to start your day with a cup of coffee. Loved having a bbq, jacuzzi and the neopresso machine. Whether you're staying solo or as a pair, this place offers a level of comfort and charm that far surpasses staying at a hotel.

Condo with patio. Walk 1 minute to the beach!
This is perfect for a couple or a family with 2 small children. The kitchen was well equipped if you want to cook but restaurants are within walking distance. The beach is a block away, as well as a grassy park. Would definitely stay here again!

Ventura Pierpont Beach Bungalow Footsteps to Ocean
Absolutely loved our stay! The place was spotless, in a perfect location—just a short, easy walk to the beach. It’s in a quiet, charming neighborhood with great walking spots nearby, and we loved taking the bikes along the path to downtown Ventura. Everything was clean and comfortable, and the location truly couldn’t be better. Would stay again and again—highly recommend!

Apt 4: Beautiful Beach Apartment Steps from Sand
This was our first time visiting Carpinteria and we enjoyed our stay here very much. Elena allowed both of our small dogs to stay with us, the beach was only about 2 minutes away, and most of the downtown area was very walkable. We also enjoyed walking along the trails of the Salt Marsh Nature Park which was across the street from us. The apartment was very clean and was fine for the two of us and our two small dogs. The only negative was that the people above us were very loud at times after 10pm and also before 8am. Elena was a wonderful host and we hope to back again some time soon for another stay. Thanks again Elena!

Beach View Deluxe-Ventura
When my family said this was the best AirBnB I had ever found, I knew had I to share that here! We've stayed at many places over the years, but being right on the beautiful beach and harbor and in such a spacious, clean and well-stocked home was just a perfect combination. FYI, we stayed in the upstairs unit which had unbeatable views and was super quiet. And Patti is an excellent resource for all your needs. Couldn't recommend this place more highly!

Sunrise at the Beach 1 Block to Sand + Dogs
We had a great time! The loft is just a short walk from the beach, which was never crowded. We also got to see dolphins and a sea lion from shore! It's also a great staring point for a run along the shore.

Architect's 2 Bed Beach House 1 blk to beach!
We had an incredible visit to Santa Barbara staying here! Everything looked just like the pictures and the back patio was gorgeous. We loved the quick walk up to the beach and had no problem with taking the time to walk into downtown. We really appreciated Maddi’s recommendations for food, drinks, and hikes. Very convenient place, highly recommend!

Montecito Beach Cottage. Walk to restaurants.
Nice, clean accommodations. I would describe the place more as a guest house than a home as it is attached to the main house to which the owner (Darren) resides. There is also another studio-type accommodation attached to the "house." Both were non-issues as they were quiet and rarely seen from the "house." We travel with our dogs and the backyard was great for them...quiet, large, clean, and private. Easy walk (~10 min) to Butterfly beach from the "house" as well as to town. The bedroom is bright due to the skylights so if you are a late sleeper, it may impact you. The bed was softer than my wife and I prefer. Overall a nice place!

Mesa Retreat
10 stars! The house and property are extremely homey and comfy, in a low key, peaceful neighborhood. Plenty of spaces to spread out and enjoy. The best stocked kitchen I have ever had with Airbnb. Great appliances and kitchen gear if you love to cook. We had our dog and between the large private back yard and the 5 minute walk to the off leash preserve and 10 minutes to the Mesa steps down to the beach, we were in heaven. Frank was the consummate host… friendly, helpful and hands off. He sincerely wanted to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our stay. We would definitely stay here again!!

THE GETAWAY - Beachfront retreat in Pierpont Bay.
This place is awesome! Right on the beach, quiet at night perfect location for all beach activities. My son and I played volleyball right north of the place in Ventura and we also drove to East Beach in Santa Barbara (only 30 minutes) to play as well. The house on the beach was perfectly decorated and everything had some thought put into for efficiency and thoughtfulness. Daniel was a great host and had all the beach gear…. Highly recommend for a relaxing each vacation!
