Beach Retreat Condo with a Heated Pool & Hot Tub

Hear the sound of the surf while you sleep at Seaside Retreat Solimar Sands.

*Pools heated to 83 degrees through the winter.

Seaside Retreat at Solimar Sands: Your Perfect Beach Escape
Just eighty-five steps from the beach, Seaside Retreat at Solimar Sands is a charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo located near "the world's safest beach." Enjoy serene views of the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains from the balcony. This location is ideal for a "park your car and leave it" beach getaway, with easy access to the beach right across the street through a small parking lot. The beach features bathroom facilities and outdoor showers for your convenience. The condo comfortably sleeps 4 in beds two in the double air mattress.

Condo Amenities
The complex offers two pools, a hot tub, and two poolside bathrooms with shower stalls. You'll have gated parking for one car. Downtown Carpinteria, with its restaurants and stores, is within walking distance—most are less than a mile away, and many are within half a mile.

Living Areas
The living room features lovely wood-style flooring, a cozy sofa, and two comfortable swivel leather chairs. Unwind with a movie on the flat-screen TV or step out onto the balcony to enjoy the ocean breeze and sunset colors while sipping your favorite drink. The balcony also has two tall deck chairs and a gas BBQ for grilling.

Kitchen & Dining
The kitchen is fully equipped with full-size appliances, a blender, coffee maker, dishwasher, toaster, and microwave. The dining table seats four, making it perfect for family meals and creating lifelong memories.

Bedrooms & Baths
The second-floor master bedroom has a King bed, flat-screen TV, and a walk-in closet. Let the soothing sounds of the surf lull you to sleep. The adjacent guest bedroom has two twin beds. The upstairs bathroom features two sinks and a remodeled glass and tile walk-in shower. A second bathroom with a shower is located downstairs. A double air mattress is available to accommodate 1-2 additional guests.

Outdoor Activities
The balcony offers stunning ocean and mountain views, equipped with two chairs and a gas grill. The sand closet by the front door contains four beach chairs, a beach umbrella (with a small shovel), and two boogie boards. The nearby Carpinteria Beach is perfect for a full day of fun, with bathroom facilities and outdoor showers available. In the summer, you can rent kayaks and surfboards from a pop-up shop at Sandyland and Ash.

Next to the condo is Marsh Park, a 230-acre estuary with a 1.2-mile round-trip hike on accessible graded trails. You'll encounter butterflies, seabirds, and more. Take a moment to sit and observe with a camera or binoculars—there's plenty of life to see if you slow down.

For more adventure, hike the trail to the Carpinteria Bluffs or enjoy a family picnic at the park on Linden and Sandyland, complete with picnic tables and BBQs. The nearby Amtrak station offers easy round-trip tickets for a day trip to Santa Barbara, where you can explore downtown and see the largest magnolia tree in North America at the Santa Barbara Amtrak station. Rincon Beach Park, a short 3.7-mile drive away, is renowned for its surfing spots and scenic beauty, perfect for watching driftwood and daredevils on parachutes.

Seaside Retreat at Solimar Sands is your ideal destination for a relaxing and memorable beach vacation.

Great spot in Carpinteria
This was our second time staying in this unit, and we’ll be back next year. Everything from booking, to check-in, to communication and check-out were great! It’s nice to have the two pools and hot tub to suit a range of ages. The location near the beach can’t be beat. The unit is clean, stylish, and comfortable!

Perfect Chill Beach Getaway
My family of four thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The condo was clean, new, and so close to the beach. We walked to everything we needed (groceries, restaurants, ice cream, surf shop) and took strolls along the beach. Multiple other beaches with surfable waves were a short drive away. Communication with the owners was great. Check in and out was seamless. It really was perfect. Highly recommended.

This location is a super short walk to the beach and the beds are comfy! Needs more art on the walls and the kitchen could use salt/pepper/oil and hot pads for the oven.
