Waterfront holiday rentals in Carpinteria

Steps to the beautiful beach and around the corner to Pierpont village area. The home was comfortable, though perhaps a little dated. For 2 people, it was plenty of space. We spent most of our time out enjoying the area, and the location is perfect for that! Covered parking was a plus!

Fabulous location right on the beach AND walkable to some very nice restaurants and shops. The condo is well designed and furnished. Two full baths and well equipped kitchen. And a wonderful State Park beach is right underneath you. Not crowded, quiet, blissful week spending time with family and new grandchild!

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Staying at Melody’s place was truly a dream. The home was not only beautiful and perfectly clean, but the breathtaking ocean view made every moment unforgettable. Falling asleep to the soothing sound of the waves each night brought such peace and comfort — it was an experience we will always treasure. Melody’s kindness, attention to detail, and thoughtful recommendations, like the easy walk to Nobu restaurant, made our stay even more special. It was the perfect couple’s getaway peaceful, romantic, and filled with special touches. We are so grateful for the chance to stay here and can’t wait to return. Thank you, Melody, for creating such a magical and memorable experience! ❤️

Cozy beach cottage in a gorgeous setting. Neighborhood was quiet, and I loved hearing the sound of the ocean waves. Would come again.

Joanie was a great host. We were ghosted by our original reservation and customer service was able to get us with Joanie. Joanie was extremely responsive and everything matched with the description on the listing. I'm extremely grateful with Joanie and her home was great. My husband and 2 children were extremely comfortable and relaxed during our stay. Thank you!

loved it cause it was at the beach not too small or too big nostalgic

We LOVED having our Thanksgiving weekend at The Shoals Corner! The unit is charming, very comfortable, with a pull-out couch/bed conversion in the living room that gives a great view of the ocean (and sunsets!). From there, we could see a pod of dolphins feeding for quite a while one morning! We brought a crockpot and fixings from home, and made our turkey breast in the cozy kitchen for our holiday meal. The kitchen is really well stocked for up to four people. There's lots to do in central Ventura, so we worked out at a gym a couple of times, shopped for food and beverage extras next door to the gym, and drove around to look at neighborhoods. We also played miniature golf another day and thought about going to a movie...but the beach vibe, fresh air, and sunshine were so satisfying that we avoided indoor activities. We're already talking about going back next year. THANK YOU, MARY, for your hospitality and the opportunity for us to have a wonderful vacation!!

We have stayed in dozens of AirBnbs and this one might top the list! The view overlooking Carbon Beach and general location to everything in Malibu was incredible. We saw sea lions swimming from the balcony and walked to many great restaurants (Cafe Luxxe, Malibu Farmers Cafe, and Duke’s were our favorites). The pool was nice and we spent countless hours walking the beach to the pier and down towards Dukes. It’s beautiful and very private. The overall space was perfect - the master suite has a curtain to provide privacy, which we never used because the view out to the ocean is just too amazing. The guest room and bathroom are separated and more private, which would be perfect for kids. Everything was clean and exactly as stated. Beyond that, Ashton was one of the most helpful and responsive hosts - his check in instructions were so detailed and every time we messaged him he responded immediately. We were on our annual girls trip and have already decided we’ll be back! 10/10!

We loved the house! The neighborhood was quiet and beautiful. We enjoyed the backyard and being able to have a view of the water. There were great restaurants nearby! I would definitely stay at this house again if it was available.

Cozy and immaculately maintained 70’s nautical beach vibes. Extremely friendly and responsive host. A very special place! Two things I did not like: 1. 4pm check-in (3pm more reasonable) 2. 10am checkout! (Should be 11am) These adjustments would be more fair to guests still leave plenty of time for cleaning before the next guests arrive.

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb in Ventura! The space was cozy, welcoming, and exactly as described—everything we needed was thoughtfully provided. The amenities were top-notch, and the custom webpage app was a brilliant touch that made settling in seamless. The check-in process was smooth and clearly explained, which we really appreciated. We'd happily recommend this place to others and would absolutely stay here again!

Nice studio close to the beach and the everything Malibu has to offer

Cruz was so helpful and responded to our questions immediately. The house had everything we needed and more. Has a great vibe! Our big group really enjoyed gathering here and making some memories!

We enjoyed our time here very much, thanks you Angela and the hosting team, your proactive messages and tips were very helpful and made our stay better than we even expected!

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!

Perfect perfect perfect. This was a perfect place to have a vacation with our family of 5 and our pooch. Perfectly situated, perfect view of the ocean from the main room and the deck, perfect amenities. It had everything we wanted, beach chairs, towels, a blow up paddle board, and more. Place was perfectly kept, which is so hard to do on the beach with the salt water, breezes, sand etc. Clare made everything so easy and obviously understands hospitality. Most appreciated, a simple check out…we didn’t have to spend the last day stripping beds, cleaning towels, whatever. She just kept it super simple. The crazy fancy Miramar Hotel is just down the beach…but honestly, we’d stay here every time instead. Worth every penny. Thank you Clare! Perfect.

We enjoyed our time here very much.. . It felt welcoming and cozy from the moment we arrived. Suneetha is a fantastic host she is very responsive, friendly, and puts so much care into making her guests feel comfortable. It was truly a great experience. Thank you Suneetha!

This was one of the most beautiful locations I have stayed at! I am an avid traveler and advisor, so I have stayed MANY places. This was my first visit to Malibu specifically, and Bill and his space were nothing short of amazing. You can hear the waves from anywhere in the home, and it is so peaceful. All of the linens and towels were cleaned, with ample amounts of extra pieces! There was also MULTIPLE different kinds of shampoos and conditioners that were provided, plus small things you may not think about such as cotton balls and Bobby pins. The kitchen has all condiments and every utensil you may need to cook! We felt safe and secure, and the neighbors were also so kind and lovely. The secured parking structure and entrance was helpful and the shared pool and hot tub were a great addition. This is a 10/10, and in walking distance to Nobu and other popular restaurants! If you are thinking of booking here, do not hesitate!

Great stay here for my family of 6! Beautiful furniture and smart renovations made this a very comfortable stay! Sound of waves as soon as you walk in! Sebastian was VERY responsive to a couple questions. Would highly recommend!

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!

Staying at Rachel's Beach Condo is consistently an incredible, inspiring "home away from home" experience... The place could not be more perfect (there's always personal touches and new stuff in the kitchen that makes me say "I have to get one of those!") and the location (right on a gorgeous beach and walkable to everything in town, plus a sweet playground for kids) can't be beat. Plus, Rachel is like family (in only the good ways!). So looking forward to our next visit to Carp! (As long as we can snag a week on the very busy condo calendar.)

The place looked exactly like the pictures portrayed. The location was great! Beds were very comfy!

Family get away with our adult “kids”. Perfect spot to enjoy the beach, close surf spots and walkable to local eateries. Pool and hot tub are a great add! Just the right place for us!

Instructions were clear, condo was as described. The beach chairs and boogie boards were so helpful. Will happily return!
