Perfect Property

This property had everything we needed. Three houses away from the beach and a 5 min walk to all restaurants. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. They also had a bunch of beach toys to bring down to the beach.

This house is fabulous. Great location, extremely comfortable, updated, well stocked kitchen. One minute walk to the beach, many restaurants within 15 min walk, wonderful backyard patio and deck over the garage for views of the sunset. Would not hesitate to rent this house again.

Fantastic, perfect for our 50th anniversary celebration!

Check-in was easy, the house welcoming, roomy, has plenty of chairs and tables-in and outdoors, and everything we could want for cooking. It truly couldn’t have been better! The weather was the only negative for us-mostly cloudy with some rain, but there was plenty of room for all of us to lounge around and feel at home.

Wonderful home in a perfect location

We love this home! Lots of space, fun layout, great kitchen, nicely updated/decorated, four nice bathrooms, outdoor shower, garage, patio with ocean view, tons of windows for ocean breezes, nice backyard with a grill, beach chairs/towels/umbrellas... everything you need! It is truly a home away from home. Location is perfect - less than a block from the stairs to the beach and a short, easy walk to the village. We were literally sad to leave. Highly recommend.

Fantastic location, house and property management

We had four adults and two children and more then enough room during our stay. The house is really fantastic and the location cannot be beat. Walking distance to the beach and to Carlsbad Village. The AC wasn't working when we arrived, but property management team was on it and had portable AC units and then had the AC fixed as soon as possible (within 2 days). We are planning to book again next year!

Perfect location, beautiful home!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location of this property is perfect for beaching, dining and shopping! The house is spacious and the kitchen was better equipped than my own! The only disappointment was the lack of a king size bed. The listing of bed sizes is inaccurate on VRBO and that was a huge problem for my guests. Should be corrected.

Beautiful home with all the amenities

This home is recently renovated and no detail has been spared. The house is beautifully done. Very comfortable beds, well equipped (and huge!) kitchen, beach supplies, and proximity to the beach and village was appreciated. I would have enjoyed some movie channels or access to Netflix so I will remember to bring some dvds next time. The managing reality was very helpful and responsive. We had a lovely time with my elderly parents and sisters family. In all, 8 of us fit very comfortably.

Spacious, comfortable home by the beach

Location is very convenient to the beach, though you have to cross a fairly busy street. Also easy to walk downtown to shops, restaurants, and the train station. The home was beautiful and well appointed. The pictures do not do it justice. Really enjoyed the private backyard patio and oceanview deck. Home is very spacious for a large family and had comfortable beds. Each bedroom has a private bathroom, which was nice. There was a problem with one shower during our stay; however, the management company was quite responsive and resolved the problem. We would return and would recommend the property!
