"Super quiet and very spacious "

"We had a great time staying in Carlsbad for spring break; the condo is a lot bigger than it seems from photos. Our family of four had plenty of room to spread out. We were able to walk into town for dinner each night and the drive into San Diego proper is very quick. It was a little chilly to get in the water but we still spent some quality time at the beach just outside the condo. "

"The property is right on the strand. There is a small road between you and the beach. There are two parking spaces in a garage below the building. The garage is gated. There are really two master suites. One is towards the back. It has a king bed and en suite bathroom. There is a small fridge and microwave. There's access to a private patio (non-ocean facing). The other master has 2Q and has a sitting area. Sliding doors open to the ocean. It has a large bathroom with tub and a shower....

"Great spot to enjoy our son doing the Oceanside half iron man race "

"We were lucky as in Sept we snuck a peek at the empty house on a family visit to the area. We have 9 family in Carlsbad-O'Side.The Beach house is just as listed, and the past 2024-25 reviews are very accurate. We found almost nothing wrong at all with the house. Some doors are hard to open and close to the patio, but we fought through it. Beds and towels are fantastic. Furniture was great and decor was very nice, and everything was very clean. Personally, if I was staying here again, I would...

"Spacious and so very comfortable. Loved sitting around the fire pit in evenings. Can’t beat the location."

"The house and location were great. We loved the views and the sounds of the ocean. Hanging around the fire pit playing trivia was a lot of fun. We enjoyed many meals and sunsets. Our miniature poodle had fun watching the many squirrels playing in the sand. Overall it was a great location to spend our 20th wedding anniversary."

"This home was wonderful for our stay to visit our son. It is very well equipped with everything you need to cook with in the kitchen. The house is very clean and the outdoor spaces are so beautiful. The property manager was great and always responsive. We would absolutely come back to this home. Just be mindful if you have older guests traveling with you there are many stairs throughout the home. Really cool house and very well maintained. Convenient to restaurants and shopping "

"Loved spending time in Carlsbad. The village has lots of interesting shops and really great restaurants. This location was walking distance to the village and beautiful beach."

"This property is absolutely gorgeous and is located in a great area. Grocery stores in each direction, eateries and easy access to the highway. It was located just a few minutes from my kids apartment. Must try Pam's Donuts and Frozen Yogart. They have the best apple fritters and donuts in Vista! I will return in December and plan to stay at the same location."

"We had a lovely stay at this property. It looks just like the pictures it’s very clean. The backyard is lovely. The fire pit is a great touch.Any words of advice is I would request more blankets and better mattresses The guestroom bed doesn’t have a box spring and the mattress is very small and very hard"

"This was such a beautiful home away from home. Directly across from the beach , close to Carlsbad village, and plenty of room for us with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. Will definitely be renting again. "

"We were in Oceanside for a soccer tournament and spring break. The cottage was exactly as advertised—clean, one block off the beach, and well-stocked!"
