A fireplace and jacuzzi tub in room, with a lovely deck to relax on. Beautiful garden sitting area. All cozy and quiet. But a quick walk to the ocean front or to Carlsbad Village for dining, beach activities and nightlife. The Inn is a perfect retreat.

What a charming property with kind service, free parking & safe quiet street. A perk is beach chairs, umbrellas, soft cooler & beach towels. Coffee, tea, ice & water available 24/7.
