Another amazing summer trip!
Such a great stay at the salt creek cottage! The improvements to the front yard was such a nice surprise. We spent a lot of time out there as a family playing cards at the table and enjoying some sun! This house fits all of us perfectly (4 adults 2 kids) and we are already looking to book again! Great location and very clean and comfortable!

Amazing house for family trip!
Wow we loved staying at the salt creek cottage! My husband and I and our 3 kids (ages 6, 2, 5 months ) plus my in laws stayed together and had an amazing time. The house was clean, so comfortable, easy to walk around town and to the beach, we absolutely loved it! We want to stay here again for sure. We ate out a lot but the kitchen was great and seemed very nice. Bedrooms and bathrooms were great sizes, the “kids room” was so cute and my girls loved it! Excited to rent again!

Wonderful Vacation at the Salt Creek Cottage
We have been going to Carpinteria every summer for as long as I can remember. It has become a yearly tradition for my mom's side of the family. My grandmother starting taking her kids 60 years ago. The Salt Creek cottage was beautifully appointed and perfect for my family. There was plenty of space and the built in closet storage was great for unpacking. The bathrooms were upgraded and large with plenty of storage as well. The kitchen was stunning...I wish my kitchen at home was that nice:) We loved it so much that we are hoping to stay here next year as well!

Fun in the best house!
The house was very clean and tidy. Presentation excellent! The dishes in the kitchen are Royal Doulton! The auto closing garage after 1min was cool! The extra large pristine Viking oven saw some use. Thank you for delivering body wash. I didn't ask for some. Even so, you thought of something that was missing and brought it over. The only thing I thought you could add to the house are coasters. I was worried about rings on the table while drinking my morning tea! Over all a great stay and I would definitely book again. Allison

Great place to stay and enjoy Carpinteria
We thoroughly enjoyed our three-week stay at Salt Creek Cottage. The condo was clean, well-stocked, and just as advertised on the VRBO website. The property manager was especially helpful, checking in with us regularly and quickly dealing with a minor issue we encountered. It is an ideal location from which to enjoy the beach and wildlife refuge, and is an easy walk to restaurants and the Thursday Farmer's Market. We highly recommend this home!

FANTASTIC HOME
We loved our stay at this beautiful property! We were in town for our daughter's wedding. We got to spend one morning at the beach which was so convenient being only 2 blocks away. The home was beautiful and very comfortable. The host was very responsive with any questions that we had. We would definitely want to stay at this property again. Maybe for our next family getaway. Thank you!!

It's Perfect!
This is our second year here and my family of 4 love it. I have 2 Kidults and each one takes a guest bedroom. They say the beds are "so cozy". My husband & I take the master bedroom, and it's the perfect size for us. The layout of the house provides for gathering time, yet also alone time. Coleen is a wonderful communicator! Thank you for another lovely perfect stay, and we look forward to returning again next summer..perhaps sooner. :) Mary

Beach fun in style
Our accommodations were truly lovely. The space was perfect for an adult couple and adult son in town for a wedding. The kitchen was well appointed with all items needed for creating meals. The home was beautifully furnished and very light and airy. A short walk to the beach and town made the location perfect to enjoy Carpinteria. The outdoor space was limited but not necessary with the beach so close by. A wonderful stay.

Salt Creek Cottage was clean, easy to live in and well located between town and the ocean. Coleen was super responsive, friendly, and helpful. While it might be small for a family, it was a great home away from home for my husband and me. We look forward to returning next year.

A 45+ year old family tradition visiting Carpinteria for Thanksgiving only made better by a perfect week-stay in this beautiful home. Perfect location near beach and walking distance to campgrounds and downtown. The home is very comfortable and quiet with an upgraded kitchen that felt like home. Communication with Coleen was fantastic from the start with confirming our reservation all the way through our checkout. Highly recommend for any occasion!
