Oceanfront Beach Cottage with private yard, and 50 yards too the sand


Large, comfortable, clean, beach cottage.
This is a single family home, no shared space., with a small garage, and parking area attached to the house. We are located across the Street from Tamarack Beach.
The price quoted is for a family of 4, the 5th and 6th person will be an extra charge. The coaster train is a great way to travel to downtown, or other beach cities, also the horse races, or fair. It's walking distance to the station, or ample parking at the station. There's over 70 restaurants, and shopping in the village, which is walking distance from the house.
If you are coming to see the flower fields, we are 1.5 miles away. They are usually open from March to Early May.

Beautiful view inside and outside of the beach, and sunsets. Easy access to the beach, which is a 2 minute walk, and few stairs, or ramp, and your on the sand. Both bedrooms have their own bathroom, enclosed patio for little ones safety yard for kids to play. Clean and convenient beach/coastal neighborhood. A grass front yard for enjoying the water views also. Ocean views from the front room, kitchen, and front bedroom. This is not a party house, but a family house. Carlsbad was voted one of the top family beaches in the U.S. Nice large kitchen with an eating area that seats 6. Outdoor patio with barbecue and table seats 6 also. Outdoor hot and cold shower. Full size washer/dryer, firepit, and barbecue, all with ocean view. Walk to the Village to have dinner and shop. Shop at the outlet mall 2 miles away, or large shopping mall 4 miles away. Legoland is less than 3 miles from the house. We provide sand chairs, umbrella's, beach towels, boogie boards, ice cooler, and a wagon for carrying it all.

Always a wonderful vacation!

We have stayed here quite a few times over the years and the house has everything you will need for a day at the beach. Accommodations are very comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked for cooking and grilling.

Great house and great value

Perfect beach house with all you need to enjoy a week in San Diego. Owners were very responsive to the minor issues we had. Location is ideal to both the beach and walking distance to the Village. Only gotcha would be road noise but knew that going in. Will rent again If possible one day!

An overdue Beach vacation

First of all the owner of the property was warm and welcoming. The location was great the view and proximity to the beach and the walking area along it was fantastic. The actual home was clean well stocked with dishes and utensils and the living are was comfortable. If I had any issue, and it’s only mine was the steps within the units to get from the living/kitchen area to the bedrooms and bathroom, i have a bad back. But that was a minor inconvenience that didn’t impact the enjoyment of the property

Beautiful house. Great location.

I could tell that the owners really care about their property and take good care of it. They called us to let us know that it was ready early (about 90 minutes before check in time). The house was very clean and in good repair. Plenty of towels, kitchenware, cleaning supplies, etc. There is a gorgeous view of the beach from the front living room window. The neighborhood is quite nice and people were very friendly. I was really glad for the off-the-street parking. The garage is kind of small, but I was able to fit my midsized SUV in it. The parking spot on the side of the garage is quite spacious.

Refund

Pam the owner said she is working on this, but the water was turned off by the city for the entire day for over 12 hours that we couldn’t shower use the restroom it’s not my idea of an ideal vacation situation I feel I’m entitled to a refund for the inconvenience! I had to book a hotel for that night so that we could shower sleep use the restroom and then get up and be someplace the next morning that was part of our plan for our vacation. I couldn’t take a chance of water will be turned on and when I spoke with the men working on it , they also they had no idea when it would be back on they couldn’t guarantee anything.! So i am out an additional 280.00 for a hotel room on top of the night at the house i paid for Its not right or fair!

Best decision I’ve ever made on VRBO! This house is a historic landmark that was renovated years ago. It was the PERFECT location for our vacation! A private home with 2 bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms! We (my husband and I) stayed here with our two adult children (18 and 20) and had the time of our lives. We surfed, had a BBQ, hung out at the beach, watched cable TV, sat by the fire pit on the deck and ate at all of our favorite restaurants. We also went fishing in a nearby lagoon. Everything is within walking distance. This house has a private parking space to the left of the garage so we never had to worry about parking if we left to go somewhere. Pam and Al were amazing hosts! They literally have everything in the house that you could possibly need: chip clips, griddle, stain remover for clothing, etc. We will definitely be back! You can rent a 335 sq ft room at a resort in Carlsbad for 400 a night or you can rent this private beachside house right on the ocean for the week at a reasonable price. We are SO glad we found this place! I cannot say enough wonderful things about the memories we made here. Just incredible!

Perfect family getaway

This is the largest and most well-appointed house we've rented in the North County area so far. Incredible view from the front, a nice stroll from Carlsbad Village, and across the street from the beach are all added bonuses. Very well appointed kitchen, great appliances, I can't think of a single negative. Great communication from the hosts.

MPut together a spur of the moment trip and stayed here for five days. It was the most amazingly perfect stay in absolutely every single way. The hosts were so phenomenal and accommodating to any need we could have thought of. The time flew by so quickly that we were saddened to leave. We are actually looking forward to planning a future stay.

Excellent space, except.....

I was disconcerted to see that "50 yards to the sand" meant that you have to cross a 4-lane road to get to the beach. The space is lovely and immaculate and perfect, except for the non-mention of the road.

We loved the location of this house so close to the beach and the window in the living room was the cherry on top! What a great place to reset and have a perfect set up for conversation and rest! The listing said there was a hot tub, it wasn’t important to us but maybe that should be updated.

My adult family of 5 stayed for the week and it was the perfect location and home for our son's wedding in the area. Vigiluccis is on the same block and is an excellent restaurant. It is close to Carlsbad Village shops and eating establishments. Try 264 Fresco too. The owners are close and were very accomodating. We absolutley loved our stay and highly recommend.
