Seahorse Retreat - Double The Fun, BEACHFRONT, In Carpinteria!

Carpinteria License Number - 1188-VR-18 and 1189-VR-18

6 BEDROOMS | 4 BATHROOMS | 12 GUESTS
Paradise Retreats Seahorse Retreat offers your own little piece of Paradise, with not one, but two units completely oceanfront! This duplex is situated to enjoy a fantastic Beach Vacation! Come enjoy Carpinteria's intimate beach town vibe, with awesome weather and the beach in your backyard, Seahorse Retreat is an escape from the daily grind.

This luxury vacation rental is complete with two identical units and the beach literally two steps from the outside deck! Flow through to either unit using the connection laundry room, or by the oceanfront deck.

Come inside and enjoy both of these 3 Bedroom 2 Bath units. As you walk in the front door of Seahorse Retreat, you’ll see the Living Room with a couch big enough for the entire family! Take a load off while enjoying the view of the ocean through the sliding glass doors. 6 members of the family can sit comfortably at the Dining Room table while someone whips up a delicious dinner!

While two rooms with two twin-size beds are making up part of the downstairs, the Primary Bedroom takes up the entire upstairs. And adding to the luxury of this home, the Primary Bedroom comes equipped with its own balcony overlooking the ocean. What makes this home so special you ask? Instead of only having one luxurious unit, there are two! Who would want to leave this place? Come to Carpinteria and make memories at Seahorse Retreat that you and your family will never forget!

PLEASE NOTE: During the Winter months, approximately November - March, the City of Carpinteria may erect a sand wall to protect all of the beachfront properties in Carpinteria from winter swells and storms. While it attempts to protect the properties, it does have the potential to block the view of the ocean from the lower levels of the home.

We had an enjoyable Thanksgiving break at the house. The set up was great for two families to be able to be connected through a hallway. Location is great. Right on the beach and walking distance to town and restaurants. It was clean and had a great view.

Love carpinteria

We have been staying in Carpinteria almost every summer for a week for the last 35 years. We have rented several different beach front places over the years. This place was the best one of them all. Very spacious, very clean, and was well supplied with all the necessities.

On the sand!

This property is not luxurious but very nice. Ample parking and good amenities. The furnishings are a little dated but very functional and comfortable. Best part by far is the convenience of being right on the sand at Carpenteria Beach. Location can't be beat and Carpenteria is a great community. Would recommend to anyone.

Perfect beach rental for two families!

This was a wonderful beach rental! The owners definitely care about the renters having a comfortable and easy experience. The bedding and pillows were lovely and very comfortable. There was an abundance of kitchen supplies, which made it so easy to start enjoying the trip right away. The layout is so helpful. We were two families with small kids. In this duplex, we’d set the kids up on one side for dinner and a movie, while the grownups enjoyed wine and dinner on the other side. Our kids loved the book nook that was stocked with plenty of children’s and adult books. Lots of board games available too! Waking up in the morning on the top floor is so great because you can see over the dune the the ocean. Being right on the beach was so fun. The kids enjoyed using the boogie boards (that are stored in the outdoor closet) to slide down the dune for hours and hours each day. Even the parking was perfect. I’m thrilled with this place and will absolutely be coming back if it’s available
