Top Tar Pits Park Hotel Reviews

Beach Shanty - One Block From Carpinteria State Beach

8/10 Good

"Ideal location! Walking in Carp is so lovely and this was steps from the beach and all the shops. The property was fine- very dated and no extras. The king bed was comfortable and the kids slept fine in the pullout and the bed under the stairs. Upstairs had slanted roof, had to bend over when getting dressed no view or windows, just a skylight and the downstairs window looked straight into a hedge on a very slim walkway. Great place if all you need to do is sleep or it’s just two people. The price is for the location and it’s clean with responsive hosts who were very welcoming and accommodating."

Just a few steps from Carpinteria State Beach. Bright, clean and cozy.

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. You can walk to the beach or walk to the strip of shops and restaurants. Easy to park. Chill vibe. Exactly what we needed."

Exquisite Carpinteria Beach Cottage, Steps Away From The Beach

8/10 Good

"Nice place in a great quiet location. Everything was great and clean. Little warm upstairs while sleeping. Instead of an AC downstairs, a fan to pull the air from top window and out that same vent would work wonders!"

Victorian Carpinteria Apartment < 1 Mi to Beach!

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and unit is fun!"

Remodeled Beachfront Condo | Ocean Views & Steps to the Sand

8/10 Good

"Home was decorated lovely… Patio was phenomenal… My only complaint would be about the sleeping situation… The bunkbed is dangerous… The top bunk is so high and so close to the ceiling it would be impossible not to bump your head… And there should be at least one king size bed and two twin beds just to accommodate four people more comfortably… Mattresses should be replaced on the queen's other than that we loved our stay"
