Wonderful Location

We had a great stay! Me, my son, my sister, her husband, their 10 yoa son and teenage girls stayed and loved it! I love the open space of living room, dining room and kitchen. Grocery store was probably under a minute walk and Tamarack beach was within walking distance. The location was perfect for me to stay in close proximity of Legoland!

PERFECT STAY FOR A FAMILY TRIP

We stayed at this VRBO for our son’s 4th birthday trip, and it was the perfect home base for our adventures! We visited Legoland, SeaWorld, and the San Diego Zoo, and everything was just a short drive away. The house itself was spacious, clean, and beautifully updated. The big backyard gave our little one plenty of room to run around, and the whole space felt comfortable and inviting. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to families looking for a convenient and relaxing place to stay!

This was an absolutely beautiful property! We were so appreciative to be able to bring our senior dog with us. There is a fully enclosed and fenced backyard with nice grass and landscaping, and plenty of room for her to roam. Also a beautiful deck with a firepit and nice table and chairs. We didn't use the firepit, but it looked to be in good condition. Front yard was also fenced in and nicely xeriscaped - a convenient feature with the dog, also. The house was immaculately clean and well stocked. 3 BR, two full bathrooms, and also a convenient powder room off the living room. Two sliding glass doors leading to the backyard - opening both let in a lovely breeze, making air conditioning almost unnecessary. Washer/dryer located in a closet right off the living room. TVs in every room. Big fridge w ice maker. Large kitchen table - perfect for playing games. Even amongst the other houses on the street, very private-feeling. On kind of busier road, but not an issue at all-very quiet.Perfect location! A mile from the beach, straight down the road, which dead ends in the parking lot for the beach. Lot was small, but we never had a problem finding a spot. Great beach. House had a foldable wagon, bg boards, sand toys, chairs, etc -everything you need for the beach. Also had beach towels, although I was glad that we brought our own, bigger-sized towels with us. Full-service cute supermarket a block away.Not enough room here to say it all! 1000% will stay here again!

Nice, but with issues.

Property not really ready for occupancy. Stove had burner problem, 2 car garage not cleared adequately, missing light bulbs, ice dispenser didn’t work, tv controls not easily used, garage side door deadbolt can’t be locked, to name some problems. Very difficult driving out of driveway due to busy street. Slow response from management for problem solving. We were not there for vacation but because our house had water pipe leakage and was under repair. Location terrific, nice ocean view, and very nice house. Probably great for short term vacationers. Would have been better if we could have checked place out before committing to rent.

Beautiful, clean Carlsbad home

We loved this house . Clean, open, and beautiful kitchen and bathrooms. Perfect for our family of 6. Kitchen stocked a bit bare. Has the feeling of a true vacation rental and not borrowing someone’s house. Which we prefer. House is off a Main Street , but getting in and out is no problem. Has great beach chairs for use.

Awesome Beach Bungalow

We loved our stay in Carlsbad. The home was clean and spacious. The yard was well-maintained and big enough for the kids and dogs to play. We really enjoyed the chef's kitchen and outdoor area. I would suggest that the kitchen include a few more items: a cookie sheet/baking pan, foil or plastic wrap, bowls, and more kitchen towels. We always love to clean before we leave, so having a Swiffer or light vacuum would have been helpful. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would love to be invited back.

Overall we had a great time and the house was comfortable for our family. There was one issue. We only had one bath towel. When the management company was notified they brought hand towels. Other than that comfy beds and nice decor.

Almost perfect

Many little maintenance issues to solve (some never solved) and a lack of certain necessary house must haves indoors and out. But, house was comfortable and great light and location is wonderful. Loved Carlsbad. With some promises of upgrades and the management/owners heading the list of items that needed attention, this could be a very delightful place.

Graduation Weekend

The house was very clean, the one thing was a strong pet odor on the couch. We had to clean it, seemed to help. Something we noticed or we didn’t know how to work properly was the oven took a very long time to heat. The rest of the stay was great beautiful house.
