Perfect beach getaway
This place was perfect for our family of five. Plenty of space, comfortable beds, well-maintained unit and property, and steps from the beach. Property was exactly as listed and included everything we needed to relax and enjoy our stay. We also appreciated the proximity to shops and restaurants just a short walk away.

We have been coming to Carpinteria for about 15 years and this has been our favorite place so far. You can’t beat this unit location to the water, beautiful views of the ocean great interior design and close to restaurants and shopping. We would absolutely stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a little getaway.

Awesome beachfront condo
Almost everything about this condo was fantastic. The location is prime, and the condo was spotless. Vrbo didn’t send us our checkin instructions, but the property manager was really responsive to all of the concerns we had. They got us our checkin info within 15 min of us letting them know we couldn’t get in, they had a solution when we were locked out of the beach gear locker, and when we discovered that there were only two bowls in a condo that accommodates five guests. Five stars for the property manager. A couple of things that I would have like to have known before renting: The property listing says there is a hot tub. There is no hot tub. A fireplace is featured in some of the pics, it can’t be used. There weren’t any linens that fit the foam mattresses our kids slept on. We ended up finding stuff for the bigger beds and just using that and some blankets we were traveling with. Another thing that could be improved includes a better stocked kitchen. All of the Teflon pans were peeling and need to be replaced, & there was not a full array of kitchen utensils (no citrus squeezer & knife sharpener are the two main ones that come to mind), and there was nothing in the way of basics like foil, etc. not a huge deal, but for the price I expected the kitchen to be better stocked/in better shape. Overall our experience was great, the property manager was super helpful, the place was nicely decorated, clean, and has a prime location. We would for sure rent again.

Carpinteria gem!
Neptune’s Retreat on the Beach is a gem in Carpinteria. The location, residence and overall property are just as described on VRBO. The property owners have done a great job in thinking of everything needed for a relaxing vacation. Looking forward to returning to NR and Carp in the near future.

Excellent location and pleasantly decorated condo
We enjoyed our stay at the condo. The upstairs unit is back from the beach, but the beach can be viewed through the kitchen window. We arrived after dark and we’re not familiar with the checkmark door lock (had to press the “Yale” button to illuminate the digital keypad). We rented the condo during 4th of July, so the neighborhood was a little noisy (understandable), but it was quiet at 10 pm. The manager was very accommodating with our 11 am checkout request. We enjoyed using the supplied beach chairs and boogie boards. Overall, this was a pleasant stay, we only encountered minor defects (the manager worked with us), and we would consider renting it again.
