About this cottage rental
This charming and stylish, beautifully refurbished 1920's beach cottage is 2 blocks from Carpinteria State Beach, 1 block from Carpinteria Salt Marsh Nature Reserve, and a few blocks from the heart of town. Included bikes, beach wagon, beach chairs, boogie board and cooler all make a fun-filled day at the beach effortless. Rinse off the day in our hot water, outdoor shower when you return.
I was honored to have my cottages (#336069 & #248884) 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 tasteful furnishings and decor, refinished hardwood floors throughout, central heat, 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 a 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 an upgraded kitchen with stone countertops and newer 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 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 bird watching one 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 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!

Amazing accommodations and location. We parked our car and did not drive anywhere until we checked out. Beach and Linden Avenue less than 2 blocks from the cottage. Great restaurants and shops with in walking distance. The cottage is vey clean and ample space outside to sit and enjoy the setting. Our family want to make this an annual trip to the cottage and Carpinteria.

Clean and comfortable. Lovely cottage
6 / 10Average·Sep 2024
The place was generally clean, however spiders were abundant. The biggest problem was that there was a lot of street construction during the weekdays that started early in the morning with noise, dust and no privacy. The construction was ongoing on the streets surrounding the front and the side of the house which was at street level. We did not know about the construction otherwise we would not have booked, this fact should have been shared with us. We wanted to sleep in but we could not and the noise of construction trucks and equipment continued until the early afternoon, this very important fact was likely intentionally omitted and this was not right, this deprived us of ability to find a better place where we could have rested and enjoyed our vacation.
