About this cottage rental

This charming and stylish, beautifully refurbished cottage is 1.5 blocks from Carpinteria State Beach, 1 block from Carpinteria Salt Marsh Nature Park and a few blocks to the heart of town. Included bikes, beach chairs, beach wagon, and cooler all make a fun-filled day at the beach effortless. When you return, rinse off the salt and sand in the warmth of the outdoor shower.

I was honored to have my cottages (#248884 & #336069) chosen to fill the "Little Gem" category of Carpinteria Beautiful's annual Home and Garden Tour in April 2012. They were also featured in Carpinteria Magazine's winter 2010 edition.

The cottage features bamboo hardwood floors, tasteful furnishings, central heat, ceiling fans in the bedrooms, and all the comforts of home. Beautiful, original paintings by local artists adorn the walls. There is a bedroom with a queen bed and another with a bunk bed with a twin on top and full bed on the bottom. A lovely patio in the yard with an outdoor dining table is the perfect spot for a sunset dinner. The cottage is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. There is a fully upgraded kitchen with stone countertops and all new appliances (2023), including a dishwasher, microwave and ice maker. You will also find a washer and dryer for your convenience. I offer a library of beach and summer themed DVD's and wireless internet. Games and books are in the cupboard for mellow days around the house.

The surrounding neighborhood is very peaceful and the neighbors are friendly. There are several antique shops and wonderful restaurants within walking distance, as well as nature trails and wonderful bird watching one short block away. Or, hop on the bikes and head to town! Thursday afternoons offer a fresh Farmers Market. The town of Santa Barbara is a short drive away and hosts a zoo, museums, shopping, golf, art events, botanical gardens, the Queen of the Missions, wine tasting and more! Stop in Summerland for great antiquing, then glamorous, celebrity-filled Montecito along the way.

My cottage offers a charming place to stay while on your vacation. Make it your home-away-from-home!

The perfect beach getaway! We loved every bit of it: location is great, the beach bungalow is fabulous! Super clean and has everything you need. The patio was great additional place to hangout. We would go again anytime! Highly recommend, you don’t want to pass this place up. Only exception is I don’t want too many people to stay there because I want to stay there again!

Very nice cottage. Steps from the beach, the bikes were a perk and the teens loved riding around the small town. The main bedrooms bed and bedding was one of the most comfortable I have experienced in a house rental. Will definitely be a retuning customer.
