Located on a five-acre coastal farm in the quaint, picturesque ocean-side city of Carpinteria, The Avo-Cottage awaits your getaway. This tiny house cottage has everything from ocean and mountain views to a seven-hole putting green. Conveniently located, the beach is minutes away, while the Franklin trail is right outside your doorsteps. Carpinteria offers excellent dining, bars, and beautiful sightseeing. End the day by relaxing in the hot tub. Enjoy all that Santa Barbara County has to offer. Other things to note: The Cottage is a two-unit Tiny House.

The Main bedroom has a queen bed and door access to the bathroom(green unit). Those who sleep in the kitchen unit with the loft should know that you will have to walk on the deck to enter the bathroom, but the Tiny House units are only 4 feet apart (so they are very close together). ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Golf ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age: 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions An adult age 18 or older must assume all liability for the booking You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Check-out instructions The host requires you complete the following before checking out: Strip any used beds and gather used towels Remove personal items and take out the trash Turn off the lights, lock the doors, and return the keys Once you arrive, please read the checkout instructions in the house manual on the kitchen table.

We arrived late and the host messaged that they left the lights on for us which was very nice. Super quiet and relaxing. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks again! ##### Chris M. Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shelly C. Sep 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming and memorable We absolutely loved our stay at the Avo-cottage. I was a little worried that we (four adults) would be cramped or uncomfy in a tiny house, but as soon as we got there I saw that this would absolutely not be the case. We were completely taken in by the unique and adorable set up, which is perfect for a memorable and fun stay in the beautiful Carpinteria weather. We didn’t have time to use the hot tub but my husband putted around quite a bit and the patio furniture was where we spent most of our time. All the beds were comfortable and there was not one thing we needed while there that wasn’t already on site. We loved everything about the place and would 100% stay again! ##### Shelly C. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jesse J. Nov 30, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Carp Tiny House Our family spent three nights at this two-tiny-house property, rating it 7/10 by tiny house standards. Location Highlights: Close to downtown Carp, with beautiful orchard views and minimal neighbors. Quiet setting with occasional farm animal sounds. Narrow road requires careful navigation. Amenities: Well-supplied with towels, personal items, and extras like boogie boards. Outdoor area includes a hammock and seating. Strong Wi-Fi and good cell service. Owner was responsive and friendly. Challenges: Significant discrepancies between VRBO listing and actual amenities - no pool or washer/dryer as advertised. Structures slightly slanted, causing potential item-rolling issues. Dirt driveway becomes muddy in wet weather. Ant infestations in multiple areas. Climate Concerns: No central heating/cooling. Guests must use portable heaters, fans, and a dehumidifier for temperature management. Cleanliness: Reasonably clean by tiny house standards, though showing some wear. Best For: Travelers seeking a unique, unconventional accommodation who don't mind some rustic imperfections. Ideal for those wanting to experience something different from traditional lodging. Recommendation: Consider carefully if this quirky property meets your specific travel needs and expectations. ##### Jesse J. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Albert C. Feb 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family of 4 with two kids under 3 My wife and I really liked this property because of the fenced in yard with hot tub and putting greens. Given we had two kids under 3, they needed to be able to run when we were there. My three year old loved calling the loft his bedroom! Would stay there again. ##### Albert C. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Missy S. Dec 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tiny homes outside Carpinteria Carpinteria is just a special place. Paul’s tiny homes gave us a chance to experience it. Definitely read the description as there are quirks to this property. It’s two separate homes. The kitchen home has two lofts… one w/ a queen bed & one w/ a twin. The bedroom home has the bathroom. Those staying in the lofts need to go outside to get to the bathroom, but there is an exterior door directly into the bathroom. You’re on a farm, so there are animals including roosters nearby. It’s a 10 minute drive or less into town. ##### Missy S. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ellen L. Sep 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Special, fun, great place to stay A unique, fun, charming property that had lots of privacy! We enjoyed the AvoCottage so much! The mini-mini golf course was a hoot. And the setting was great, once we found it in the dark. The owner was great and responsive. I recommend to anyone looking for something different, yet has plenty of creature comforts. ##### Ellen L.
