Wonderful stay, lovely, large and comfortable condo that was well stocked for our stay (needed scissors & tape and they were there- so nice). Coffee, sugar & creamer stocked. Nice bottle of wine to greet us. Made it easier to get settled and enjoy!Third bedroom is a separated space in the larger bedroom. Comfortable & served its purpose. Beds were comfy & we slept very well. Lovely ocean view from the deck - great at sunset. Easy walk down to the beach. Not the fault of the unit or owners but the traffic is quite loud so hard to enjoy the ocean sounds from the unit. Easily resolved by walking across the street & down the stairs, we didnât use the bikes or beach gear but there was plenty of it so maybe next time! Garage has 2 sides with a post in the middle. Tesla 3 fit and the driveway space fit my kids trucks side by side (Tacoma and 4-runner) without blocking neighbors or feeling crowded. Absolutely will return. Hosts were kind & responsive - no complaints at all.
Good communication from the host, a great location nearby a lot of restaurants and coffee shops, and the the house was beautiful and very clean. Would definitely stay again.
Mike and Janice have a wonderful place, directly across the street from the Ocean. The configuration of the rooms allowed us to look at the ocean all day from the living room, kitchen and dining room. The bedrooms were in the back of the house and thus very quiet and cool. The bathrooms are newer than the photos and extremely well done. We also appreciated the access to all of the beach equipment: chairs, umbrellas, beach towels and blankets, and a bunch of other stuff we didn't get to such as bikes, boogie boards, etc. We appreciated having screens on almost all of the windows, which allowed us to get good cross ventilation from the front to the back of the house. WIFI was excellent for work, streaming, and videogaming on a laptop. We would definitely stay here again.
Dear Hess Family,We just wanted to take a moment to thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful Carlsbad home. We truly enjoyed our time thereâthe boogie boarding, our attempts at surfing, and simply relaxing in such a comfortable and well-kept place made for a memorable trip.Weâre already looking forward to the next opportunity to stay again. Your hospitality made our visit both easy and enjoyable.Warm regards,Joe and Gina
Beautiful beach house, in a wonderful location! This house is directly across the street from the beach, and also walking distance to all of the great restaurants and shops in Carlsbad village. My family of 6 adults stayed here, and we had plenty of space for everyone. We loved using all of the beach gear provided in the garage, and had so much fun riding the bikes into town every day to shop. Mike was a wonderful host and responded right away to any questions we had. We love Carlsbad, and would absolutely love to book this house again if we return.
We loved staying at this property. Right across from the beach and a short walk to all the restaurants and shops. The house had everything we needed for our stay. We will definitely stay here again if we vacation in Carlsbad again.
This was a lovely property with plenty of space for our whole family. Perfect walking distance to the beach as well as some restaurants. Weâd love to stay here again!
This VRBO was in a good location (good sunsets and short walk to downtown Carlsbad) with comfy beds / blankets and good amenities (kitchen supplies). Communication with the property manager was very good as well. Our group was disappointed in the condition of the home which needs some reno (stained carpets, stained couch, outdated bathroom, mirrored living room walls, offset knobs on the stove, dirty baseboards, etc). Might be good for a group of surfers but we wouldn't return to this location since it's outdated.
We loved our stay here. Wish we could have stayed longer. The house is located in a PERFECT location. We went to Legoland day 1 and Sea World day 2.
We walked across the street and took walks on the gorgeous beach too.
I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
we really liked the place a lot.
Unfortunately we had record high temperatues during our time there. It would have been nicw to have AC but most places on the coast have no need for it.
This property had a wonderful setup for a private birthday party. We celebrated a milestone birthday for my wife and this was the perfect location. The view from the balcony and sounds of the ocean late and night / early in the morning was phenomenal. The community was quiet and calm, even traffic was quiet. The rooms were spacious, the third bonus room is a room within the uppermost bedroom. There was just an abundance of space, we were overwhelmingly pleased. Thank you.
The house lived up to our expectations (which are pretty high!) and we had a wonderful time. I'm looking forward to returning in the near future. Thanks so much Mike!
This place has pretty much everything you need and more! First of all, communication with the host was quick and easy. The place was clean, well maintained, well stocked and nicely decorated. Great book and game selection too. Great location right across from the beach and so many beach supplies. I would book this place again in a heartbeat. The only thing I would mention is that the âadd-onâ is more like a sun room off of one of the bedrooms. It worked for us bc we just put all the kids in there, but may not be the best option if you need 3 actual separate bedrooms.
We very much enjoyed our stay, being right across the street from the beach was very nice. My son was thrilled there was a boogie board and a wetsuit to use. Close to walk downtown to shops and restaurants. The only hiccup was the listing says 3 bedrooms, which technically it is but the 3rd bedroom is not a separate room like you would expect. The hosts responded quickly to my inquiries. Overall, my family and I will stay here again. We loved our trip!!
This was the best beach house with the most awesome kindest owners ever!! We are Carlsbad locals for over 25 years. We needed a house closer to the beach for our daughterâs 13th birthday celebration we couldnât have asked for a better house!! We will definitely rent this house again!!
What a wonderful property that is well maintained and thoughtful in all aspects making you feel home away from home! The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen stocked with everything you need. The location is unbeatable as well; a short walk to beach.
Beautiful views, Carlsbad Village is just a short walk away with many great restaurants, shops and a fun farmers market. House was very clean. Included a nice grill for fresh fish and everything you need for the beach - Had a great time.
My husband and I wanted to find a place to stay in CA with a view and away from the crowds. I'd say we hit the jackpot. Carlsbad is a great little town that is centralized to any major tourist destination north or south. The house was perfect for our needs and Mike was a pleasure to deal with. We would definitely stay here again when we return to the area.
Hi! We live in Newport Beach, an hour north of Carlsbad. We fell in love with the darling village and beaches of Carlsbad and decided to buy a second home/vacation rental. We have lived in Southern California all our lives and have a lot of experience traveling around the San Diego County area. We can help you plan your fun vacation with suggestions and ideas. Thank you for considering staying in our beach home. Sincerely, Rob and Janice Hess
