Great stay for local needs!

We had a great time at this apartment! It was right in between some of our favorite restaurants and an easy walk to the beach! Only complaint we have is the trains horn can wake you up at night. Otherwise, awesome please! We’d stay here again for sure.

Very comfortable confo

The condo is well located, nicely furnished, and very comfortable. It has most everything needed, including lots of towels, comfortable bed, lots of dishes and cookware. I would definitely return here for another stay. My only small suggestions would be to fix the dripping kitchen faucet (it turns off but I had to play with the lever to find just the right spot), Kleenex, and food storage items would be helpful (Saran wrap, aluminum foil, ziplocks or the like). There was something in the checkin instructions about a lockbox but I couldn’t locate it but the door code worked fine and a key wasn’t needed. All in all a very nice place.

Great location.

We parked when we arrived and never had to drive; we walked everywhere. There is a free shuttle, the Coaster, and bus as alternative options. The rental property worked for what we needed. It was perfect for two people. The train tracks are very close by, so getting used to the loud train every night took some getting used to, especially with the window open. The first night was a little rough, but we got used to it for the remainder of our stay. We'd stay here again. We also didn't mind "June Gloom."

Generally a good spot.

This is a fine and basic spot. If you want a simple place to stay in great walkable location this is fantastic. It has a parking spot, yet a bit tight to get in, so that is a plus. The furniture was simple and basic, but if you aren't going to be in the unit most of the time it won't be an issue. Yes, there is a train that runs at ALL times of day. However this is something that may be hard to avoid in the area regardless. My only concern is the slow response from the management team for an issue. I am glad it was a non-serious event as that could have been very problematic. No issues rebooking here again, but I'd also look at other options.

Substandard

The electricity went down in our unit and other units in the building. We promptly notified the host, a company called Vacasa, by text. It took Vacasa over 15 hours to respond. That response contained inaccurate information and no solution, and did not even offer to help find a solution. Also worth noting: the train passes nearby and is very noisy, starting from very early in the morning.

Wonderful Location!

The unit was clean except for tiny ants in the bathroom and kitchen. Heard from other guests in same complex that they were having issues with the ants also. Supposedly the complex HOA was contacted to see about pest control.

A nice place to stay in Carlbad, but that train noise is a dealbreaker

Was in town for the Oceanside 70.3 race. A very convenient location, a nice building, close to the village center, etc. Nice amenities, although the a/c system is a huge kludge but functional. The parking space is tight if you have a larger SUV. The biggest issue is the train noise. The train honks as it passes through the village crossing. It is loud. It runs basically til about 10:30 in the evening and from 5am in the morning. It will wake you up, and I am a fairly good sleeper. Even closing the double pane window and sleeping with ear plugs did not eliminate noise. To me this was a deal breaker, and not specific to this property - I think that it is an issue anywhere in the vicinity of the village center. Otherwise, we had a nice time. Vacasa (the management company) was easy to deal with.

OK but not great

It was loud. The restaurant next door was playing loud music late night making it hard to sleep and the train blew its horn every 45 min. It woke us up through the night and early in the morning. The place was clean, but just was not as nice and comfortable as the other places we’ve stayed in town. The bed was really uncomfortable and squeaky. We went home exhausted. I probably wouldn’t stay there again.
