Light and bright beach retreat

Be one of many who have stayed in this light and bright condo in the heart of Carlsbad Village. (Carlsbad STVR#1242819) Total remodel is finished creating a light, bright, open space. The theme of light and bright is realized with mainly creamy whites and aquamarine blues to lend a feeling of calm.... complimented with splashes of bright, happy colors that exude FUN! This unit is a desirable END unit. No one is above, below, or on one side!!

Walk out the door and you are within 1 block of one of California's most desired beaches- a six mile stretch of white sand with a well designed boardwalk for walking or running. Explore the unique boutiques, restaurants and entertainment just steps away in Carlsbad Village. Outdoor concerts, unique shopping, fabulous restaurants, street fairs, and even a marathon are a sampling of the varied activities to enjoy.

The condo feels fresh and clean with new everything! We have tile floors in the main living area/bathroom, and warmer wood floors in the bedroom. Sink into the new king size bed with high quality mattress and linens to feel totally cozy and comfortable. There is also a high quality, slipcovered queen sofa sleeper in the living room.

Accommodations include:
*Flat screen HD television
*Wi-Fi/Internet
*DVD/CD Player
*Tastefully designed kitchen with fun utensils and serving ware
*Beach supplies: boogie boards, tote, small cooler, blanket, umbrella, toys, and towels.

This unit is a unique find in a very unique vacation spot. We have created a space that is perfect for whatever type of vacation you want: quiet and relaxing or active and adventurous! Be one of the first to stay!

Great Place in a Great Town
Very happy with the stay. Close to beach, close to village restaurants. Well stocked with beach chairs, beach towels, etc. Wish it was not so close to the train tracks as the Coaster starts early in the morning, but obviously not something the owner controls.

Fantastic Condo
The condo was very clean with all the necessary appliances. It was in a top floor private location. Stores and restaurants and the beach were just a short walk away. Onsite parking was provided. Great owner. Hope to stay in this condo in the future.

Great Place to Stay with Two Cons
The location is great. The condo was clean and well stocked. Timothy was great to work with. Our only cons were the train runs all night. By the 4th day, we kind of got used to it. The other con was the bed and pillows were uncomfortable. Other than that, great place to stay.

Light & Bright Between the Holidays
We like to make a getaway between Thanksgiving & Christmas. This year we stayed in Carlsbad at the Light & Bright property for the first time. We loved it. Great location, easy walking distance to all amenities, the beach, and easy access to the Coaster train if you'd like a trip into San Diego (e.g. step off at Old Town). Very nice condo with all that you need, including a parking space.

A slice of paradise
We throughly enjoyed our stay. The condo was so cutely decorated with a very beach vibe. The condo was well appointed and was stocked extremely well for cooking meals. Such a bonus to have beach chairs, towels, boogie boards etc. We come to Carlsbad every summer for a week and multiple times a year for a long weekend. We will definitely be booking with this property again in the near future. The proximity to everything in the village was amazing and the beach a short one block walk. Everything was perfect!!

Great location in Carlsbad
We loved our month long stay at this location. Best part: we were a 5 minute walk to the beach and 2 minute walk into the Village. The unit was clean and comfortably updated. We cooked at home many nights and there was adequate cookware to enable it. The shared laundry has an app so I did not have to hoard quarters, which was nice. As others have said, there is a train that runs right through Carlsbad. You’ll hear it. But we enjoyed being able to walk to the train and took it quite a few times into Encinitas, O-Side and San Diego. We loved it here and will stay at this rental again.

This property is a hidden gem. Excellent location and all the amenities needed for longer stays. We have rented different units at this address and this unit is our favorite. The kitchen is VERY well stocked for meal preps. Very clean and comfortable. Great bed! Timothy (host) response time was very quick. We have already rebooked for next Spring. Kim & Joe Oct 2021

The Condo was exactly what we expected ! Very comfortable and clean. Only suggestion, in the description of the rental information, make sure guest realize your need to be okay with climbing stairs. Condo is located on the second floor. Other then that an amazing Condo. Its walking distance of tons of shops, restaurants, liquor store and a 7-Eleven right on the corner. Thanks Timothy !

Great location. Super clean.
This unit was incredibly clean and well appointed (although we didn't use the kitchen this trip.) The furniture was comfortable and looked fairly new. Easy check-in/check-out and communication with the owner was straightforward and responsive. The unit is in a great location and we never needed to use our car once we parked. Our only complaint would be that it was hot. We happened to be in Carlsbad during a weekend with unusually high humidity, especially for a beach community in October. The unit doesn't have AC, which admittedly most units do not in the area, nor is it likely needed very often. But being on the second floor, it was hot. We utilized all the fans and had the windows opened at night, but it made for hot sleeping. As long as the weather is not too hot, you'll have a very comfortable stay here!
