Property details

Permit No.: TRU23-044 3 BEDROOMS | 2 BATHROOMS | 6 GUESTS The legendary Rincon Point is a surfer’s dream and it’s right at your doorstep. The area is home to an exclusive enclave of beachfront homes that claims the best local surfer spot and hosts the annual Rincon Classic competition. If you’re more of a low-key vacationer, you’ll be able to see the whales migrate through the Channel, take a dip in the water, then walk fewer than 100 feet inside for a snack. This dream is perfectly located away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to Santa Barbara, Montecito, and Ventura for an excursion. This 3 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom bungalow was built in 1947 and has been a beloved family retreat for decades. Now it’s your turn to enjoy. Each Bedroom offers serene views of the ocean or calming garden courtyard. French Doors throughout open to a surfside patio complete with an outdoor dining area and chaise lounges to watch the sun lower and set at your feet. **Disclaimer: Fireplace(s) inoperable.** HIGHLIGHTS: - Right on the beach! - Best local surf spot with beach toys included - Instagram worthy patio views - EV Charger - Outdoor Surfer Shower **GUEST AGREES TO ELECTRONICALLY SIGN OUR RESERVATION AGREEMENT within 2 days of booking.

We have been coming to Carp for several years and usually rent a different house in town but were excited to have beachfront access at Rincon for surfing and swimming. The house was more spacious than we anticipated. The beachfront patio was an absolute highlight and the front yard is super private and beautifully landscaped. Great for small kids with flat grass and fully enclosed. The house is absolute heaven for readers - there is a fabulous library for both kids and adults and so many places to curl up with a great book.

We love and appreciate staying here very much. The home is cozy and refreshing at the same time. The location is the absolute best. We'll be back soon! The amazing space is becoming our home away from home. I'm thankful that owners share this special experience with us and other guests.
