Located in the town of Carpinteria, only 12 miles south of Santa Barbara and shrouded by the towering hills of Santa Ynez, lies a modest 62-acre recreation area with more than 4,600 feet of beachfront. The original inhabitants of the land were Chumash peoples, who called the area mishopshnow, which roughly translates to “correspondence.” The Chumash used the area’s resources for crafts, such as bowls, effigies, and beads.

Honestly, this was an amazing experience. Very helpful and communication was so easy. The rv was big and cozy and was left setup perfect for my family of 5. I’m looking forward to my next trip with this same rv. Delivery was awesome as well I got to my destination and it was ready to go which made a huge difference. Ac works really good and the heater worked great at night. Shower and restroom were good. Beds were big and comfortable, we were setup with blankets and silverware, we even had flashlights and emergency supplies. I would definitely recommend and give it a 10/10 if I could. Thank you

We had a fantastic experience renting from Brett! Communication was excellent from start to finish. Picking up and returning the trailer was super easy and hassle-free. The trailer itself was spotless inside and out, with a very comfortable bed and fresh, clean linens. The kids love the bunk bed! It was also lightweight and easy to tow, making the whole trip even more enjoyable. Highly recommend renting from Brett — he truly made everything simple and stress-free!
