Perfect for girls trip

Loved the property and quiet location. The view from the open-concept living area was beautiful and beach access was perfect. We had Birds Eye view of dolphins every day! It was walking distance to Carlsbad village and perfect bedroom-to-bathroom ratio for a group of four women.My only critique would be the rusty chain link fence separating the patio from the beach.

Great View, Dated Property

Great view of beach both north and south, but the property is extremely dated with window coverings that don’t quite work, scratched skillets / pans, had to call to figure out how to get in, where the laundry was (shared laundry downstairs with different access code that was not provided), etc.

Great Location

Location of property was great. Within walking distance to Carlsbad Village. The beach was right in the backyard, though, as noted in the prop description….there are stairs. To get to the sand you do need to walk over rocks… not boulders but river rock size. Beach was not crowded, which was nice. View from the house was outstanding. Property itself was comfortable but the overall property is dated especially the kitchen and bathrooms. Property Management company was very responsive to questions and requests.

Home away from home!

We were so pleased with Everything! From the beautiful view of the ocean, falling asleep to the sound of the waves, and the cleanliness. We had more than enough room for two couples-we loved the large well stocked kitchen and cooked many of our own meals. Was great to have our own grill as well. We loved exploring Carlsbad with the great breweries, eateries, and shops-always something fun to do and then “heading home” to our great home away from home to take a walk on the beach and enjoy the amazing sunsets! The daily dolphin, seal, and whale sightings were amazing to watch as well as the surfers! 5 stars all the way!

Beautiful view, cozy feel

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view is exactly as it looks. Easy access to the beach. The home is very large so all four bedrooms can be occupied with comfort for all. TV’s in every room which is always a plus. The home is old but they’ve done a great job decorating to make it feel comfortable and cozy. They could use more lamps in the living room as the ceiling lights are quite austere. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful view and perfect for girls weekend

The Carlsbad Village property offered a beautiful view of the ocean and beach. My girlfriends and I sat on the two white couches by the windows and talked for hours, overlooking the surfers in the water. The property was very spacious and the kitchen has everything you need. The house would benefit from a little TLC and the bathrooms are dated and need some upgrades. Other than that it was the perfect place of my college girlfriend reunion. Plus, the town of Carlsbad is fantastic for a tasty dinner, boutique shopping and friendly people.

Our family of 8 had lots of fun here.

The views from the main living area are fantastic! We had plenty of room, however, the bathrooms could use an update as well as the kitchen countertops, and some of the cabinetry as well.

Perfect access and view of the beach

This is a delightful property with a huge family room that has an entire wall of windows overlooking the north end of Carlsbad beach (right on the bluff). Great restaurants and shopping near by. Easy access to beach right off the stair stepped patios in front. Fire pit for evening enjoyment

Buyer beware

The property location is perfect and it was clean-ish, except for flies that seemed to be everywhere. This house has no ac, which was disclosed on the property listing. Initially, this didn’t worry me as we’ve stayed at properties with no ac when visiting Southern California before. However most houses have air flow; this one does not. In the main living space, the entire wall of windows that over looks the beautiful ocean, there is one tiny window that opens and it’s on the far north side of the house. There is little to no air flow into the common living areas. The weekend we chose to visit there was an extreme heat advisory and the temps climbed to 85-90 degrees inside during the afternoons… using all of the fans in the property. Additionally the last night that we stayed there, the power went out. This was in the neighborhood, not just the property, so we have no idea if it was rolling blackouts or what the cause was. If a few beers weren’t had during dinner, we would have just driven back to our home state. To make matters worse, the property company was miserable to work with. From trying to find out what was in the house and what wasn’t, to trying to figure out what was happening with the electricity. It seems like a number of the customer service reps were either out of the state or country or both. They kept stating that they would need to contact the local team (which of course I couldn’t wait on hold or do myself) and that they would call back. Which did not happen except for one call regarding the electricity; they called to tell me that it was a local interruption of power and that it should be back on within a few hours. Our group had 3 babies under 3 and keeping them cool was a nightmare. If you choose to stay at this property, make sure the temperatures are very reasonable and you don’t need much from the property management company. We will not be returning, which is too bad because it is a beautiful property otherwise and great location.

Wow, just WOW!

You walk in the door and immediately your jaw drops. THAT VIEW! The entire living room back and side walls are floor to ceiling windows with an unobstructed view of the ocean. I cannot tell you how many hours we sat there and watched the waves, the people and those who attempted to surf. Sure, it is an older home with a few oddities (light switches that don't turn on anything), but I would not trade the peacefulness, less crowded beach and that view for a newer home with larger bathrooms. The kitchen is quite large as is the living/dining room. All of the bedrooms are of ample size and all but one have ocean views. Sleep with the windows slightly open at night, the sound of the waves will lull you to sleep. The bedrooms are a split wing so that family can sleep on one side of the home, and mother in law on the other side. Great beach access and great outdoor area. Seriously people, this home is a gem.

The View!

The view is exquisite! The layout is fantastic for families and couples. The ease of getting to the beach is wonderful. The only downside was the broken window in the bedroom closest to the ocean. It was partially taped closed with a large open gap. This made for very cold nights. Another issue we had was the housecleaners. They showed up at 10:00 am and weren't supposed to be there until 11:00. We needed the extra hour. When your'e cleaning out a kitchen for a party of 9, it's a lot of work. WE NEED 11:00 checkout. The guy was very pushy and it really irritated me. Other then that, we had an amazing time and I'll be looking forward to booking again.
