Waterfront vacation rentals in Santa Barbara County

Another great stay at Logan's. The beach is only a few steps away and the Salt Marsh Reserve right across the street. One of my favorite things to do is either an early morning walk on the beach, or just stay in with an early morning cup of tea and watch the sunrise light up the hills. Coming to Logan's feels like a welcome home. I've been coming for several years and intend to continue.

Austin was quick to respond about any questions and overall a great host! I recommend 10/10 experience. A beach right across the street, safe area, and had everything we needed. Will be back again :)

Fabulous location right on the beach AND walkable to some very nice restaurants and shops. The condo is well designed and furnished. Two full baths and well equipped kitchen. And a wonderful State Park beach is right underneath you. Not crowded, quiet, blissful week spending time with family and new grandchild!

Clean. Accurate. Great spot. No bells or whistles. But did the Job.

Cozy beach cottage in a gorgeous setting. Neighborhood was quiet, and I loved hearing the sound of the ocean waves. Would come again.

Joanie was a great host. We were ghosted by our original reservation and customer service was able to get us with Joanie. Joanie was extremely responsive and everything matched with the description on the listing. I'm extremely grateful with Joanie and her home was great. My husband and 2 children were extremely comfortable and relaxed during our stay. Thank you!

loved it cause it was at the beach not too small or too big nostalgic

We LOVED having our Thanksgiving weekend at The Shoals Corner! The unit is charming, very comfortable, with a pull-out couch/bed conversion in the living room that gives a great view of the ocean (and sunsets!). From there, we could see a pod of dolphins feeding for quite a while one morning! We brought a crockpot and fixings from home, and made our turkey breast in the cozy kitchen for our holiday meal. The kitchen is really well stocked for up to four people. There's lots to do in central Ventura, so we worked out at a gym a couple of times, shopped for food and beverage extras next door to the gym, and drove around to look at neighborhoods. We also played miniature golf another day and thought about going to a movie...but the beach vibe, fresh air, and sunshine were so satisfying that we avoided indoor activities. We're already talking about going back next year. THANK YOU, MARY, for your hospitality and the opportunity for us to have a wonderful vacation!!

Cozy and immaculately maintained 70’s nautical beach vibes. Extremely friendly and responsive host. A very special place! Two things I did not like: 1. 4pm check-in (3pm more reasonable) 2. 10am checkout! (Should be 11am) These adjustments would be more fair to guests still leave plenty of time for cleaning before the next guests arrive.

We enjoyed our time here very much, thanks you Angela and the hosting team, your proactive messages and tips were very helpful and made our stay better than we even expected!

We absolutely loved this place! It was so relaxing to be right on the water, and to be able to hop in the hot tub on a cold morning :) The beds were incredibly comfortable and the primary bedroom felt like a luxury suite. The host and property manager are also lovely. Very kind and easy to communicate with. We will definitely be back!

Great stay in a good location. Had amenities for my family including a grill and baby high chair which I appreciated. One bathroom does make it tough but we managed.

We had the BEST week at Strandcastle 2.0! We booked the house to celebrate our son’s 8th grade graduation and it could not have been a more perfect place for the occasion. The house is absolutely beautiful and incredibly spacious — it easily accommodated our large group with room to spare. Family members stayed with us throughout the week and others came to visit, and everyone commented on how comfortable and well-appointed the home was. The views are amazing, and everything we needed was right there. It truly felt like a special home away from home, and it made this milestone celebration even more memorable. We can’t thank the hosts enough. The communication was great and the entire experience was seamless. We’re already hoping to come back!

Amazing little beach side cottage. We booked this place for my wedding and it was perfect. I got to relax days before the wedding had an amazing vacation, and then all me and my girls were able to get ready easily day of. I dream of coming back perfect house! Beds are super comfortable too!

First, the place is great. It is spacious, the bedrooms are large, and the view is fantastic. Being dog lovers, the highlight for us was Styx the ranch dog who kept us company all weekend. The house was clean and well stocked. The furniture is dated but comfortable. The master bathroom has a heater that made my shower very nice!

We loved stay at Kat’s place. Was perfect fit our family! Kat was super fast in answering and even faster in helping us with everything. Looking forward to come back soon!

This place is amazing, cannot express how great the value is. Practically beach front and cheaper than most hotels in the area!

We enjoyed our time here very much.. . It felt welcoming and cozy from the moment we arrived. Suneetha is a fantastic host she is very responsive, friendly, and puts so much care into making her guests feel comfortable. It was truly a great experience. Thank you Suneetha!

Awesome condo right on the beach! Super clean and the best view and location - listening to the ocean was the dream! The beach is a gorgeous and long and very beautiful - it's busy with cars and people but we loved it!

Great host, great location, fun stay. Highly recommended. Jumped on the surfliner Amtrak and took our kids to the Santa Barbara Zoo. Hung out on the beach just down the road from the apartment. Awesome time!

Staying at Rachel's Beach Condo is consistently an incredible, inspiring "home away from home" experience... The place could not be more perfect (there's always personal touches and new stuff in the kitchen that makes me say "I have to get one of those!") and the location (right on a gorgeous beach and walkable to everything in town, plus a sweet playground for kids) can't be beat. Plus, Rachel is like family (in only the good ways!). So looking forward to our next visit to Carp! (As long as we can snag a week on the very busy condo calendar.)

The place looked exactly like the pictures portrayed. The location was great! Beds were very comfy!

Instructions were clear, condo was as described. The beach chairs and boogie boards were so helpful. Will happily return!

The place is a perfect retreat for those who love being on the beach. It's a nice place, and you feel like you are sitting on the beach as you sit on the balcony. The place has everything you need for a great and peaceful time. Having parking is great.
