California Dreamin by AvantStay | Private Pool + Fire Pit | Near the Beach
Welcome to California Dreamin, a stunning SoCal retreat. Perfectly nestled in Carlsbad less than a mile from the beaches, this home is your ticket to coastal relaxation, just a short stroll away from shops, eateries, and the vibrant Carlsbad Village.
This spacious retreat was thoughtfully designed with groups in mind, offering multiple living areas to unwind and connect. The front of the house features a bright and open living room, complete with a plush sectional that flows effortlessly into the fully equipped kitchen and dining area. Toward the back, you'll find a cozy second living space with a large TV, perfect for movie nights, and an additional dining area. Need a quiet corner? Choose from two smaller living areas—one equipped with a sofa and desk for remote work, and another with a queen sleeper sofa for added convenience.
California Dreamin was curated for indoor-outdoor living. Step through sliding glass doors to your private outdoor oasis, where a sparkling pool takes center stage. Soak up the sun in one of the poolside loungers or swing in the hammock under swaying palms for a true dose of R&R. When it’s time to dine, fire up the grill and enjoy a meal alfresco at the outdoor dining table. As the sun dips below the horizon, gather around the fire pit table to toast marshmallows and share stories under the stars.
After a day of fun, retreat to one of four comfortable bedrooms. The king suite boasts an ensuite bathroom for ultimate privacy, while the queen bedroom, twin room, and additional bedroom with two twin beds provide versatile sleeping arrangements for any group. The bathrooms (two full and one half) ensure there’s never a wait.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We're so glad the heated pool delivered even in April, and that the spacious layout, foosball, and comfortable beds made for such a fun and relaxing stay. We'd love to welcome you back anytime!
Really quite adequate and perfectly nice. Just needs more bath towels.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear the home was a comfortable and pleasant stay overall.
We appreciate your note about the bath towels as well—that’s helpful and something we’ll review to better support future guests.
We appreciate you staying with us and hope to host you again in the future!
The hosts were great. They were easy to get a hold of and checked in via text on regular basis. Loved the amenities this house had to offer. There was more than enough bathroom space for my family of 8 adults. The Bbq and fire pit were in great working condition with extra propane tanks available. The pool was the best feature. It was clean and warm when the weather was cool. There was more than enough patio seating and plenty of room in the house. The fuse ball table was a hit. The location was great, it was a 15 minute walk to the beach or downtown Carlsbad. Loved it, loved it, loved it. Would definitely stay again.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the home, amenities, and location, and that it worked well for your family. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to hosting you again.
We had a family gathering there for spring break with my husband, teenage daughter and 83 year-old dad staying at the house. We had other family local that hung out with us on the patio with all the cousins using the pool. One of our family members has a walker and was able to walk along the side of the house to get to the patio (no stairs). The house has a few steps between kitchen and family room. I ran down to / along the beach every morning (0.66 mile to the beach). It was wonderful! Beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. We would rent this place again.
