This cottage (behind the house) was a perfect size, clean, and quiet. It was comfortable and we lacked for nothing, Even though we were right behind the house and next to others, we had no sound issues and complete privacy. Bob was easy to communicate with. The cottage is less than a block away from the beach and close enough to walk to the village. We would definitely stay there again.

This is a great location for Carlsbad ; especially for the beach goers. Downtown Carlsbad is walkable within 10 minutes or so. Lots of great restaurants and options of entertainment. The unit has beach chairs and accessories. The actual rental itself is upgraded, extremely clean and very warm and welcoming. Bob, the host, is excellent. He is very quick on answering/responding to communication. Will definitely be coming back here to stay.

This location is fantastic for an easy walk to the beach! Our young family (kids ages 1 & 3) had a very comfortable stay. We brought our own pack-n-play (though one is supplied) and used the cottage's high chair. We enjoyed the list of recommended restaurants. Helpful host. We had a fantastic time here! Highly recommend!

Perfect Getaway Cottage

We were really impressed with this cute cottage and the proximity to the clean and lovely beach. It was so nice to have all the beach gear and we also enjoyed the private patio area out in the back. My husband and I stayed here so our 2 adult sons, who live nearby, could join us. Bob was a very gracious host and we'd love to go back again!

Great location and comfort

This was a perfect escape for our family of four. We were met by the host when we drove in and check-in was a breeze. The place was clean and comfortable and in a perfect location to the beach. There was a place out front that we could wash the sand off and plenty of space away from the street to leave our beach tent, beach shoes, sand toys, etc. The laundry room was a bonus and let us wash out sweaty clothes after the San Diego Zoo and LegoLand. Highly recommend Vigilucci's which is only a few minutes by foot away. We would definitely stay again and maybe check out the COASTER train.
