Charming Beachside Flat

LindaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Another great stay at Logan's. The beach is only a few steps away and the Salt Marsh Reserve right across the street. One of my favorite things to do is either an early morning walk on the beach, or just stay in with an early morning cup of tea and watch the sunrise light up the hills. Coming to Logan's feels like a welcome home. I've been coming for several years and intend to continue.

Sea View, Boards, Bikes, W/d

NickRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a great stay, the place was exactly as described. Right across the street from the beach, this was a very affordable oceanside stay. There were over 100 sea lions hanging out by the marina, they were fun to watch, but they did make some noise. With the windows closed, you couldn't really hear them.

La Cabana Paradise Steps 2 The Beach

We really loved this place! It's like a 5-10 minute walk to literally everything in Carp. The complex also has a great pool and grill area that you almost always have to yourself.

New! Luxury Beach Retreat and Pool!

RonaldRating, 5 stars6 days ago
A very nicely remodeled and tastefully furnished 1 bedroom apartment with a well-equipped oversize kitchen. It is located in a quiet residential area a block from a beautiful beach. Within walking distance is a small shopping center with a convenience store, a sports bar & grill, a pizza shop, and a brewery. A beachside park and the Mandalay Beach Resort are also within walking distance. Other restaurants and shops are just a short drive away. We were in Oxnard on personal business and had a very pleasant and comfortable stay.

KristenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We loved our stay here! It was the perfect house for the 8 of us -- we used the hot tub, fire pit, and pizza oven. Great view of the marina in the back. Nice, quiet neighborhood. Huge living room. The kitchen had everything we needed. We had a wonderful time!

Upper Unit Beachfront "Boathouse" House!

KayRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We were on a staycation celebrating our Anniversary and it was everything we expected and more. Every detail was thought of when it comes to amenities. The instructions were very clear and everything was easy to find. We loved the nautical nod that is very fitting to a boat house but not overly done. So much charm everywhere! Definitely a magical space. We looked forward to our next visit.

Contemporary Beach House with Expansive Ocean View

KristinRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This magical beach house was deceptively large, the space was very comfortable and the views were jaw-dropping. Nothing like watching dolphins bob around in the bay while you are brushing your teeth! The kitchen was very well outfitted for cooking and grilling and there was always something happening in the park across the street or out on the water. Simply delightful and we’d definitely come back. A total gem!

Shoreline Cottage- Ocean Views, remodeled, Dog OK

MichaelRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This property was a great place to stay for our family of 4. The entire house especially the kitchen and bathrooms looked recently updated. 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms made our stay really comfortable. Very easy access and parking. Right across the street from Shoreline park with nice walking paths and a great view of the beach. A short drive to the Funk Zone, pier, and State Street. We will definitely stay here again on our next family trip to Santa Barbara.

Private pond & incredible views!

MaureenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This location is on the outskirts of Buellton in a more agricultural location, which is lovely to have peace and quiet. We enjoyed spotting the wildlife: hawks, coyote, ducks, and squirrels. The home is quite well kept, basic provisions were provided, and the amenities excellent. The bedrooms suited our needs and guests. Thank you also for checking in to make sure that we had what we needed. Rules, directions, and explanations were detailed and we felt completely able to manage the home without complications or confusion. Our family was able to relax and visit comfortably with family whom we had not seen in years.

Spectacular Beach Retreat with Ocean View 5minWalk

ShelleyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
It’s really a nice weekend spending here. The beach is wide and clean, the pool is inside and clean, the only thing is that the table tennis and billiards are not open to play. There is a park within 10 minutes walk. We enjoyed the beautiful sunset on the pier. Shamim is helpful and nice. Everything is good! hope to be here again.

Carpinteria Beach front condo w/ FULL OCEAN VIEW

KenRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Rachel's place was so peaceful! We loved eating our meals out on her patio overlooking the beautiful ocean and beach! Every night we watched the sunset and the stars come out from this patio. What a treat to be able to enjoy the beach and the beauty of God's creation this way! The kitchen was so well stocked with most everything you would want. I especially appreciated the reverse osmosis drinking water, the wide variety of teflon pans that were in great condition, and a large refrigerator and freezer. The drying rack which was provided made a great place for our swimsuits and wetsuits to hang and dry. I was so pleased that despite the weekend crowds for the beach, the overall beach atmosphere remained quiet and serene. We love Carpinteria Beach! From this place we were able to take long morning walks, do stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming, and sit under our umbrellas reading and talking. Thanks again!
