Everything was clean and felt very secure, and James was a great host with very open communication. We've decided if we come back to the area we'd definitely seek this spot out again!"

"Everything was as stated. We were there for a family event. Did enjoy access to the Omni Resort for a few walks. For the price was disappointed in no bath soap or shampoo. Target and many stores were close by. The place is nice but a little dated and very musty smelling for the first day or so. Mattress very soft but fine."

"This property remained as magical as it was when we were there five years ago - nothing has changed and it was absolutely wonderful. Perfectly situated in a small private neighborhood just South of Carlsbad. Picture windows overlooking the ocean, as well as plenty of lounge chairs etc. on the back porch to enjoy the beautiful meditative ocean all day long from the bluff upon which the house sits. Then walking down the private steps to the beach - at low tide there are tidepools and you can walk...

"My sister and I stayed here for 5 nights. Very safe neighborhood away from the train tracks but close to everything by auto. The home was very clean and well equipped, other than ice trays. With four bedrooms and 2 baths, great for a family or couples. Outside patio was great for taking in the afternoon sun. Very private. Appreciated the fact that there was sufficient seating both inside and out for the house bedroom count. There was one comfort height toilet which was great for us...
