Me again. I've got an update since COVID. As I mentioned last time, we stayed in unit 21- we were able to request and stay in it again this summer. There've been some upgrades since we were last there, which was cool to see. Really nice updated bathroom on the first floor - very easy to wash up after going in to town. I'd say about 80% of people in town were wearing masks but with two kids running around you can never be too careful.
The living room has a great new TV which has made the quarantine routine, nightly binge watching, enjoyable. We ordered in a few nights Teddy&apos

My wife I stayed at Solimar Sands last summer with our daughter and grandson Benjamin, 6, and Reagan,3. It was perfect, one of the best vacations we ever had. Steps away from the "world's safest beach," 2 pools, and a Jacuzzi. With the kitchen and bar-b-que, we were able to cook all of our meals, didn't have to go out to eat once. We're coming back again for the July 4th week. And Jennifer Miller, Guest Relations, is super.

This place is a total dump. Everything is gross and falling apart. The "security" lady at the pool is horrible. About every 3 min or so she comes out of her office and screams at the children swimming. While sitting there I witnessed her scream at a 3 year old quietly swimming with his mother. She should not only be fired from her job but she should not be allowed to work around children. It appeared there was something wrong with her. Either she had been drinking or sleep deprived. Either way she should not be working around families.
The facilities are about to fall down. All the

Spent a lovely summer week in unit 21!! Beach and Salt Marsh views were unsurpassed - we enjoyed watching the sunset from the balcony each evening. The condo was well decorated and very cute (there are EXTREMELY outdated pictures of this unit on the website which doesn't do it justice).
Overall, Solimar Sands is a wonderfully located place to stay and if you get the chance to stay upstairs like we did you can enjoy the fantastic views! Everything in town is close and walking distance. Bring your towels and sheets and get ready for some relaxing fun in the sun. We are looking forward to planning

Great place. Great onsite managers! I rented Sept-Dec 2016 as part of a corporate assignment in the area. Each unit is an individually owned Condo with a single management company overseeing things.
*** Yes *** I would stay again. Absolutely, no reservations what so ever! The location is ideal, a few steps from the water (just across the street). My apartment was well stocked with kitchen ware, linens... move in ready. All the appliances worked flawlessly and were clean and in great working order.
It was clean. Don't confuse "clean" with "Marriott Quality" ... the place was built in 1970 and

We just stayed here for a week over July 4th week and LOVED it!
From the location of the complex, to the condo to the property manager, we had an EXCELLENT experience!
We had a little issue with losing a set of keys. I contacted Jennifer (Property Manager) on her Emergency Phone. She pleasantly answered the phone and said she thought she may have had them. She was already off for the night and off the property. Within 10 minutes, I had a knock on the door. She had come back to the property, found my keys and came to our condo to return them for me. I was not expecting that at all! I really appreciated

My extended family rented two condos here for a week. One of the condos turned out to be not very nice, and the manager Jennifer kindly arranged for us to switch into a different one, which was gorgeous. We ended up in #2 and #20. The location is great; it's right across the street from the beach access by the salt marsh; the city surf lessons and kayak rentals and junior lifeguard programs are all at that access. It's a bit further to walk to downtown Carpinteria; it's 3/4 mile to the RiteAid and the farmers market.
The condos were terrific. #2 has a nice big deck with plenty of

We stayed at Solimar Sands this year at the end of May for one week. Our condo was VERY clean and decorated SO darling and welcoming. We found the customer service to be absolutely professional and amazing. I am a professional wedding photographer, and we accidentally left our family camera in the condo. I called Jennifer Miller with Solimar Sands and she IMMEDIATELY returned it to me via shipping without a hesitation. In this day and age, that was very thoughtful and professional. She was AMAZING with every other area of our stay. She NEEDS A RAISE if her boss is reading this!! We will surely

I've been staying at Solimar Sands since the 70's and it's been a family tradition of ours for decades. The wife and I returned for a month of R&R last October. Our fifth monthly rental in the last seven years but first under this Manager, Jennifer.
Because I've got just two weeks vacation we planned on being there the entire first week and the whole last week (we live an hour away). Well we both had to change our vacation plans when we were finally notified by the assistant manager only weeks before our stay, that they were renovating the pool area and it would be dusty

We stayed at Solimar Sands for about 6 weeks, while I was staying in the area.
While the apartment was fine, and the complex well maintained, the customer service was absolutely terrible.
I've never met such an entitled, smarmy,
disrespectful, and unhelpful woman in all of my travels, and I've travelled a lot.
Jennifer comes across as completely unwilling to help or accommodate her residents in any way beyond taking their money.
The apartment wasn't properly cleaned when we got there, and although they advertise wifi internet, it is spotty, to say the least. When I tried to arrange

Recently stayed for a week, the complex itself is okay, the management was okay our particular unit #15 was a dive .My list can go on for days..it has been neglected for years! The owners had just been there the previous week. There were tall weeds in the patio, closet doors were broken not enough kitchen supplies. No tongs, no cheese grater, no lighter for the BBQ , no dish towel, no paper towels..dirty bathroom, no toilet paper, no bath mat, shower head leaked. The bed had no box spring ( low to floor ) 2 plastic pillows. The sofa bed was so uncomfortable could not be used. I will never stay

We love the town of Carpinteria and a few years ago we found this quaint little place called Solimar Sands . We stayed a week and just loved the pool area, we walked across the street to the beach and found the most beautiful sunset WOW My wife and I sat there and just enjoyed the view . Solimar sands is very clean and the parking is secure with a gated area to make me feel safe . We liked the upstair units because they had a great view and the units are very nicely decorated , we will be back

We decided to try staying at Solimar Sands recently, to see if the customer service has improved. It is in a really nice location right across the street from beach access. We spent a week enjoying the beach and the town and had a nice time. I think the manager must have been on vacation or no longer works there because it was peaceful around the complex. Hopefully the owners have made a change and customer service has improved, making this a more welcoming vacation destination. If so, we'll be back! The complex is very nice.

Great location and nice (thought if can vary from unit to unit a bit). The issue is weak management. Not very helpful with any issues that might come up. In our case, there was a grill on the balcony in photos for our unit, but no grill when we got there. The manager just shrugged and didn't care. I'm really surprised the owners put up with such shoddy management. Just look at the website for them and it still lists the year as 2010-11.

Our family has rented a place here for the past four years and we love it. The apartment complexes are nice but some are better then others. The manager is nice and makes sure everybody follows the rules. The apartments are pretty cheap to rent and very close to the beach. I think we will come here for several years in the future. The only things I don't like about solimar sands is that the temperature of the pool is very inconsistent. Sometimes it is very hot which is always nice and other times it is pretty cold. The other thing I don't like is that the people that live here will complain
