We really enjoyed staying at this condo. It was just steps to so many great restaurants, shopping and the beach. The apartment itself was comfortable and just the right size for my husband and I. Thank you to Pam for her great hospitality and for answering any questions I had quickly. We will be back!

The location was excellent. Easy access to shopping, numerous restaurants, and the beach. We rented a car but rarely used it other than for a hiking day and a drive to the flower gardens. The kitchen was fully equipped and even had a full set of spices. The space was perfect for us and we enjoyed the patio while drinking coffee and reading. The host provided beach chairs and umbrellas which we used daily. Check in and check out were a breeze. The host was very accommodating and communicative. She even reached out to us on a night we lost power to check in with us and provide us with an update as to how long the power was to be out. I would definitely recommend this property and look forward to future stays.

The condo or apartment is in a perfect location to just park your vehicle in the designated spot and walk everywhere you want to go. It was such an easy, short stroll to the beach, so I woke up early each day and headed out to listen to the waves and breathe in the ocean air. You're already right next to a whole bunch of good breakfast and coffee places, and nothing tastes better than vacation coffee. The bed was super comfortable. The water pressure was very good and the kitchen has everything needed to make your own meals. Pam was super responsive to any questions, too.

Spotless beach themed sunny apartment just a 2 block walk from the beach. There's a reserved parking spot in the carport just steps from the apartment and the grounds are immaculate. Comfy bed, great shower, the kitchen is well stocked if you are planning on cooking. If you're not cooking, the Village is very close, many restaurant and shopping options. Keyless entry was so convenient. Host was quick to respond when we had a question. The only surprise was the close proximity of the train tracks, weekdays the train starts at 5am, the train has minimal cars, the noise passes quickly and the route isn't used at night.

About the host

Hosted by Pam Kerckhoff

Host profile image
I am from Southern California. I have been living in Carlsbad for over 20 years and love it here!

Why they chose this property

I grew up being able to walk to the beach and to shopping. I loved it! I live in Carlsbad, but have to drive to the beach. So when an opportunity came up to buy a property that was very close to the beach and to the Village in Carlsbad I took it.

What makes this property unique

Properties don't become available in this development very often. What I love about this unit is that it is on the ground floor, has two private enclosed patios, and is in a sunny and quiet location in the complex.
