Mermaid’s Grotto | Beachfront 2BR on Carpinteria Sand

Beautiful, well situated condo right on the beach with secure parking. Spacious and clean. Managed by responsive and attentive hosts.

Great Time!

Great location if you want easy, quick access right out to the beach. Although the unit is not on the beachfront, you can enjoy the ocean views literally just out the front door. The common area beach patio is perfect to sit and enjoy a meal at one of the tables. Plus, it was so easy to bring our morning coffee to enjoy out on the beach. It's also located where you can easily walk to most places in town. Great spot for a casual beach getaway.

Great Spot!

We had a fantastic time at this condo. It was clean, well-maintained and stocked with just about everything you could possibly need. It was warm and cozy (our stay was in December) with direct access to the beach. Check in and check out were a breeze and the host was really responsive.

Fantastic Stay!

Nice clean place. Great beach walking nearby. It is not in Santa Barbara, a 15 minute drive away, but it is close to a nice downtown area, with lots of shops, grocery, restaurants, coffee, etc. No beach view from inside the unit, but the building is on the beach.

Nice &amp; Clean!

Fantastic place and a terrific stay. Alli was very responsive and there’s loads of fun toys and beach supplies for you to use. Couldn’t have been happier.
