Solimar Sands - Carpinteria, California

Jennifer at the management was very attentive and allowed us to get packages dropped off. This is the best place in Carpenteria. We stayed in unit 10 and loved it.

I paid a cleaning fee on top of the owner taking my entire deposit for pet fur that could easily have been vacuumed as part of the paid cleaning fees. I was instead charged a "professional cleaning" in retaliation for having a disability animal. They also tried to pin obviously old worn out rug soiling on me I had nothing to do with. No sheets, linens, mats of any type provided, you feel like an imposition by the rude manager on site, not a guest paying good money to stay that they rely upon for income. Instead of a vacation you get nickled and dimed as they look at you as free money.

My wife I stayed at Solimar Sands last summer with our daughter and grandson Benjamin, 6, and Reagan,3. It was perfect, one of the best vacations we ever had. Steps away from the "world's safest beach," 2 pools, and a Jacuzzi. With the kitchen and bar-b-que, we were able to cook all of our meals, didn't have to go out to eat once. We're coming back again for the July 4th week. And Jennifer Miller, Guest Relations, is super.

Great place. Great onsite managers! I rented Sept-Dec 2016 as part of a corporate assignment in the area. Each unit is an individually owned Condo with a single management company overseeing things.

*** Yes *** I would stay again. Absolutely, no reservations what so ever! The location is ideal, a few steps from the water (just across the street). My apartment was well stocked with kitchen ware, linens... move in ready. All the appliances worked flawlessly and were clean and in great working order.

It was clean. Don't confuse "clean" with "Marriott Quality" ... the place was built in 1970 and is "beach housing." My specific unit was more like "Painted Plywood and Varnish" for the kitchen cabinets. Again, not bad quality, just "beach grade." There is a management company who pays to clean the place before/after your stay and they do a fantastic job. If you need a cleaning during your stay, just ask and you can pay for it out of pocket. I did that once, and it really helped me feel more at home.

My unit had plenty of beach chairs, kids beach toys. I never used them, but they were there for families. Only complaint - my specific owner did not provide much for Cable TV....it was there, only a few channels.

Bring a window fan for the warmer nights.

Parking is a bit tight - there is enough, but the navigation is snug.

Great places to shop and grab a bite, all within walking distance. Give this place some business, I hope to return!

This is a lovely location for locals and tourists alike. The beach is really close and a quick walk to town. We usually stay in unit 24 which has a fantastic view of the sunset and you can see the ocean from the balcony. We'll definitely be back!

Really close to the beach and with 2 pools and a jacuzzi it's great for those not so sunny days. Quiet atmosphere and gated parking are nice on the busier beach days. Some parts are a bit outdated but fit nicely with the quaint surf town feeling.

We're staying for a week in unit 6. It's just fantastic. Updated, very clean, and beautifully decorated. We're right next to the pool, and have a minute walk to the beach. It is peaceful and relaxing, and the town can't be beat.

Spent 4 months here during the fall/ Winter time frame. Was more affordable than any other place and was less than 25 yards from the beach
