Family-friendly vacation rentals in Carpinteria City Beach

Marty and Carey's home was a perfect place for our friends' reunion! The home is spacious, clean, comfortable, and with great decor. The kitchen was well-stocked and we loved the openness of it. The couches and beds were very comfortable for lounging and sleeping. The backyard is so beautiful and peaceful, we spent most of our free time out on the patio, and the kids loved the swings. The hot tub was a big hit with everyone, and we enjoyed being so close to the mesa bluffs and the private beach. We can't wait to come back again!

What a beautiful location! We had a relaxing time and a lovely stay while in Ojai. Clean and modern. Description and pictures matched the experience. Check in was easy and hosts were responsive and communicative. We will recommend this place to our friends and family. We’ll also book again in the future.

Perfect house for adult family of four over Christmas. Great kitchen for preparing Christmas lunch. Enjoyed the hot tub.

We had a wonderful stay at Rachael's place. Everything from reservations to check in to check out was easy and smooth. The location was convenient to many great restaurants, eateries, shopping, and the beach. Rachael made us feel welcome with a nice bottle of wine and fresh flowers when we arrived. Everything was thoroughly cleaned and just as described. Rachael made some excellent recommendations for dinner that we adored. We had a little hiccup with the HVAC system, but there was great communication and it was resolved in a timely manner. We wouldn't hesitate to reserve this home again in the future! Thank you again Rachael!

We really enjoyed our stay here! It was really easy to get to downtown and the Funk Zone for a bite to eat, a glass of wine, or some dessert! We also really enjoyed going to hang out at the Mission, the beach, and accessing local trails in SB and Montecito. Even the trail just near the house on Modoc drive was really pleasant and a good way for us to get outside and enjoy the SoCal weather. The house had a ton of great amenities like a backyard sauna, cold plunge, and hot tub. It even included small things like good cookware, a keurig coffee maker and lots of coffee pods, etc. It was also nice that there was a little backyard for our poodle to hang out and get some fresh air. Our hosts were really helpful and even went above and beyond to check on us and make sure our stay was to our liking on the second day after we arrived. Would recommend!

We had a fantastic stay—our kids absolutely loved it and begged to stay longer every single day. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach, with gorgeous morning strolls and stunning evening sunsets. We especially appreciated that it was dog-friendly—the built-in dog door in the bedroom was such a thoughtful detail, letting our pup come and go without waking us. After full days of kayaking around the Channel Islands, relaxing in the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind. The kitchen was fully stocked for home-cooked meals, and the welcome snacks were a lovely touch. We also loved not having to pack beach gear—the hosts had everything covered: toys, canopy, towels, you name it. Everything was spotless and well maintained, and the host’s kindness in offering us a late checkout made our departure so much smoother. We’d come back in a heartbeat.

We loved our stay! The house decor is warm and joyful and comfortable. The location is perfect for a long weekend in beautiful Ojai! We will be back xx

Deborah and Peter were fantastic hosts! All the amenities were fantastic, the hot tub, the deep soaking tub, and the snacks. The bed was super comfy and the views were nice. Would definite recommend for a weekend getaway!

Very accommodating - listed for three nights we asked for two nights and Robert and Arlina made it happen.

Rebecca's place was overall very cozy and beautiful. Do note that there are a lot of stairs to get to the airbnb or backyard space so people w/ limited mobility should take caution. Also make sure you read the entire listing because it doesn't tell you right away that the 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms are not connected from the inside. To access the other 2 bedrooms and 2nd bathroom, you have to walk outside the deck and it's at the other end of the house. And if you have to walk that pathway at night, I recommend bringing a flashlight because it's dark, and there's no outdoor motion detector light for that pathway that connects the 2 spaces. But once you get to the other space, they do have a light that turns on. But other than that, the place was very beautiful, beds were comfy, and pillows too. Rebecca was a great host, and we had no issues. We appreciated the info she has laid out- Just make sure you read everything prior to booking, and you'll be fine!

This place was awesome! Peter is great, he showed us around when we arrived and was very responsive to messages. The place was super cool, we especially loved the ping pong table downstairs and the volleyball net outside. It had everything we needed and made for a fun retreat for our club!

We absolutely loved this place to gather and practice Reiki with our teacher. The space is so serene and surrounded by nature that it felt like paradise. We loved the hot water of the entire home so we could always have the option to wash dishes or run a hot bath which was divine. Would love to come back and stay for a longer period of time. Ojai is also nearby so restaurants, shopping and other things to do, like hiking was all available to us.

The place was awesome… pretty small and cozy, perfect for my solo work trip. The dogs, while lovely, can be a bit intrusive. The puppy got out twice and I had to chase him around the neighborhood… I would have been more careful but my hands were full. No biggy. Other than that, the place was great and the hosts were great. Would highly recommend!

We loved our stay. The casita is close to downtown Santa Ynez and surrounded by horses and cows! The property is private and very quiet and peaceful. We brought our dogs along and were able to walk them in a nearby neighborhood and take them on adventures with us. Jeanne’s place was clean, well appointed and she was very helpful and a clear communicator. One surprise was the tax that was due separate from the paid price to Airbnb. It is stated in the listing that tax was not included but I missed that it would be paid separately. So just note, but we really enjoyed ourselves and would love to come back!

We enjoyed our stay! It was very peaceful and the creek was beautiful. Definitely will be coming back again. Thank you! This place rocks!!!

We had a great time here! Booked very last minute and ended up being almost perfect! Main pros were location, beach access, provided beach toys, very comfy bed. The view is exactly as depicted in photos. So not completely oceanfront but can see and hear the ocean just fine. Construction noise as mentioned in other reviews was not an issue for us. Very cozy small place, worth the price for location. And was very clean. We had issues with the grill which was a bummer but they came and fixed as soon as I mentioned. One thing to note is the sofa bed was very basic. Great for our kids but would not recommend putting an adult on it. Also I was very confused by reviews stating the kitchen was very well stocked. That threw us off as we were planning on cooking every meal. No mixing bowls, and exactly 4 plates, 4 cups, 4 bowls…next time I’ll bring paper plates for serving etc. Would definitely come back! Look forward to booking again.

Everything went well. Instructions from Adam were very clear and our stay was smooth!

Cute place and great location!

Hillary’s place was absolutely beautiful—peaceful, cozy, and surrounded by incredible scenery. There were so many amazing wineries nearby, which made the whole experience even better. We had such a great time and can’t wait to come back again soon!

bsolutely loved our stay at Julie’s place in Ojai! From the moment we booked, Julie was warm, responsive, and incredibly easy to communicate with—she made everything seamless. The house itself is stunning—beautifully designed, full of thoughtful touches, and nestled in such a peaceful setting. It truly felt like a retreat. We left feeling refreshed, inspired, and so grateful for the experience. Can’t recommend it highly enough—thank you, Julie!

Jennifer is an extremely hospitable and generous host! She was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay and always with a friendly demeanor. We had a fantastic time at the Fantastical Cottage! Jennifer's place is truly magical and my wife was constantly thinking she was in a wonderland! Very much looking forward to returning some time very soon.

I usually rent a cabin somewhere in the mountains with my best pup once a year for a quiet girls weekend. This year I was hoping for something more local and stumbled upon this gem of an experience. What a beautiful place Murray and Kay have. The property is easy to find and Murray was right there (with their horses) when I pulled in. The Airstream was fully equipped and I really didn't feel like I was deprived of any creature comforts. The solar battery was enough for my couple of devices to charge. Hiking trails right outside the door and views for days. One of their horses even made it up the mountain one night to say hello. The bed was comfy and there was plenty of blankets, linens and towels. I loved every minute of my stay and look forward to visiting again.

Perfect for us! Lots of space and light, really nice master bedroom and bathroom, good beds. And a better deal than most in the area. Very nice and communicative host. Thanks, Gloria!!

Very nice and helpful host. Clean place. Safe and friendly neighborhood. Close enough to freeways and local things to do.
