Sleep In A Century-Old Carriage House When You Book A Stay In This Small-Town Airbnb In Southern California

Just south of Santa Barbara, the coastal town of Carpinteria is a laid-back escape full of charming businesses, friendly people, and picturesque scenery - and nearly perfect weather all year long. If you're feeling like a family getaway that offers the beauty of the Southern California coast and the peace and relaxation of the country, I think this charming Carriage House Airbnb in Carpinteria, CA, may be just what you're looking for.

This spacious rental now known as the Carriage House at Ivy Oaks was just that over 100 years ago, housing hay, horses, and a carriage. It sits on a large ranch property between the mountains and the beach and was converted into a remarkable family home.

Authentic Western decor - cowboy hats, wagon wheels, elk sheds, and more - permeates the interior’s circular floor plan. The ground floor features an open-concept living room, built-in dining table, and kitchen with vaulted redwood beam ceilings and tons of comfy seating.

The kitchen’s red tile counters give the space a bright and homey feel, and even the cookware takes you back to the Old West. You’ll love preparing meals using cast iron, Dutch ovens, and a large griddle that’s perfect for pancake breakfasts.

The interior of the home is custom-built and boasts beautiful redwood throughout, including the staircase and open walkway that connects the upstairs bedrooms.

The Carriage House sleeps six with three bedrooms including a master with a king bed, a darling pink and white bunk room, and a third bedroom with a loft. Families will also appreciate having three individually designed full bathrooms.

The outdoor space is as incredible as the inside. The large patio has a dining table and wooden rocking chairs to enjoy and a private spa just off to the side. The property also features a freshwater pond, a fire pit, a trampoline, and a workout pavilion if you’d like to get a bit of exercise.

This is a ranch and there are lots of animals - from chickens to turtles and fish in the pond - and the family that owns the home operates a horseriding business on the property. You’ll enjoy watching the horses just outside the house and can even book your own beach or trail ride!

It's hard to imagine not falling in love with this place! What do you think? Are you ready to pack a bag and head to this carriage house Airbnb in Carpinteria, CA, for some rest and relaxation? Even if you live close by, this is a perfect spot for a grand staycation! Find more information and availability for the Carriage House at Ivy Oaks on Airbnb. While in town, I highly recommend wandering through the scenic Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve.
