This small, above garage unit was perfect for our family. It was the perfect size and had a great rooftop seating area. The owner was great and was attentive to all of our needs. We’ll be back in the near future for sure!

Perfect place in Carlsbad

This property was perfect for my college-aged son and me. It was just enough space and a block from the beach. The host is gracious and provides a washer/dryer for guests. There’s plenty of outdoor space as well and it’s walking distance from Carlsbad Village which offers plenty of restaurants and shopping. We would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous Efficiency Apartment

My sister, cousin and I enjoyed our reunion there and were delighted at how the host thought of everything we needed. The space was arranged so that we felt comfortable. It was convenient to walk to the surfer's beach and along the sea wall and into Carlsbad for dining and shopping. The spa, outdoor area and the rooftop patio was a nice bonus! I would definitely stay here again.

Great Stay! Parked the car and never touched it until we left.

We had a nice stay in Carlsbad. You can walk to most everything you will need from the property. The only mishap was the electronic keypad to unlock the door decided to take a break at 10 pm on one of the evenings as we were returning from dinner. We were able to get it resolved. It was nice to have the beach chairs and a wagon to haul our items to the beach! Great Stay...

Super cute place to stay. Having beach toys, a wagon, outdoor shower and pack-n-play was wonderful! Also the room darkening shades made it so easy to put a little one down before sunset.

Great Little Place

We stayed for a week in June of 2024. The unit is an apartment on top of a garage that is a secondary building on the property. Although it was a little tight for the four of us, the patio and outdoor area provided plenty of space to eat meals and just hang out. Our host, Jess, was very accommodating. The washer and dryer in the garage came in very handy. Also, he allowed us access to beach chairs, coolers, games and a wagon to drag it all down to the beach, which was only a block away. Wonderful location with many amenities within walking distance. The one negative was there was a fair amount of construction. Fortunately, they shut down at night and on the weekends, allowing for some quiet time. Would book again in a heartbeat!

Very nice property and location. A couple of blocks to walk to beach. Short, easy walk to Carlsbad Village. Pay attention to description of property regarding only street parking and mini-fridge/wine cooler/no oven. One couch and no table/chairs for dining. Not an issue for us but might be for some. Easy to access hot tub and large outdoor table to use along with a grill. Could see a limited view of ocean from small deck area with a couple of chairs and a table accessed by metal spiral staircase. Was satisfied with unit.

Comfortable, clean, great location

We stayed here during March. The property is accurately represented in the listing. It contained everything we needed - note that the kitchenette is small with small fridge, full size coffee maker and toaster. No oven. Room darkening shades were awesome. Hot tub was awesome. Roku on the TVs for streaming. One block walk to the beach. 15 minute walk to all the restaurants and shops in Carlsbad. Much recommended!

Better attention to detail needed

The location was great. It’s quite small so it works for 1 or 2 people. Unfortunately a new condo was built behind the house so there was no ocean view…big bummer. TV in the guest room was wonky and wouldn’t totally shut off so light was on all night. Had to put a towel over it to sleep. No coffee or cream/sugar, another real bummer. They did bring us coffee but we had to steal sugars from every restaurant we went to. FYI -you can’t park in the driveway which is kind of a drag when arriving and departing.

Carlsbad beach house

Clean and modern with nice decor. The kitchenette has no fridge (If that was mentioned in the website posting, I missed it. If not, it should be.) The outdoor space is nicely landscaped-nice hot tub and grill. Private and quiet (although a big construction project, either new house or apartments, is underway behind the house). Roof observation deck is a bonus. Nice stay, overall.

Our weekend retreat

Almost perfect. Living area is tight for 4 adults. A couple folding chairs would be good for sitting inside. The many pillows on beds are pretty but not necessary and they sadly end up on the floor. The 2nd bedroom should have a mirror...perhaps on the back of the door. Rooftop patio has a view of the ocean. Loved it. We would definately come again.
