About this apartment rental
Welcome to Neptune's Retreat — a gorgeous beachfront condo sitting directly on the sand of Carpinteria State Beach, just a block from the heart of Linden Ave. With 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this is your own little slice of coastal paradise. Unwind in the open living room, cook up a meal in the beautiful kitchen with a glimpse of the ocean catching your eye, or simply step outside and let the beach do the rest. Fully stocked and ready for you from the moment you arrive. 🔱
The space
🛏️ Bedroom 1
A spacious king bed with an attached bathroom, dresser, and closet. Two floor sleeping mats are also available in the closet area for extra guests. This room has its own TV and a private door leading to the side alley.
🛏️ Bedroom 2
A comfortable queen bed with a TV — a cozy retreat after a long day at the beach.
🛁 Bathrooms
Both bathrooms feature standing showers with glass doors. One is en-suite to Bedroom 1, and the other is in the hallway next to Bedroom 2. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are provided in both.
📺 Living Room
Settle into the L-shaped couch and unwind. The TV has cable and full streaming capability (Netflix and more), and local magazines are on hand for a slower afternoon. The dining table seats up to 4, with an additional 4 stools at the counter.
🍳Kitchen
A fully stocked kitchen with pots, pans, dishes, BBQ tools, and all your everyday essentials. A drip coffee maker is available — coffee grounds aren't guaranteed but may be left over from previous guests.
🧺 Laundry
In-unit washer and dryer in the hall closet, plus an iron. Detergent isn't always provided — we recommend bringing your own, but feel free to use any that's available.
🌊 Beach & Outdoors
The house is located directly on the beach, and we're happy to provide boogie boards, beach toys, beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels for all your beach needs. We just ask that you bring everything back to the storage unit when not in use and avoid leaving any items on the sand.
The shared patio has two gas BBQs (connected to the building — no propane needed) and picnic tables, perfect for a relaxed outdoor meal.
🚗 Parking
Two gated parking spots are included, both numbered #5. Additional vehicles should park on the street.
📶 WiFi & Entertainment
High-speed WiFi throughout the unit — the router is in the cabinet next to the fridge. The TV has cable and full streaming capability (Netflix and more).
Guest access
Contactless self check-in for a smooth arrival. The entire unit is yours — the only off-limits area is one locked hall closet. We're available by phone or email throughout your stay for anything you need.

Our family's stay at this VRBO property was wonderful! The apartment was very clean and cozy, plenty of amenities were provided, and the beach-front location could not be beat! We were in town for a family wedding and it was the perfect place to convene after each day and having the beach right there was simply an added bonus. Would definitely recommend staying at this property to anyone who is inquiring! Management was very helpful and communicative too ) 5 stars all around!
