About this property

Great Getaway 1/2 Block From Beach

Great vacation getaway one half block from Carlsbad Beach and a short walk to Carlsbad Village shops, restaurants and breweries / wineries.

This second floor unit is located in a well-maintained 4-unit building with onsite laundry, single car garage and off street parking. The second story unit is accessed by way of a single flight of stairs. As of 2023, the unit has new, larger and more quiet air conditioning unit to take the sweat off those hot and humid summer days. Kid-friendly amenities include a baby gate and pack-n-play. Garage has beach chairs, toys and wagon. A minimum 6-night stay is required to reduce the turnover.

Perfect Getaway!

The location and property was perfect for my family's needs. The home was clean, had all the amenities that I needed especially when having young children, and you could not ask for a better location with a view! When returning to Carlsbad I will stay here again without question.

We spent a week here and wished it was longer. So many great features. Spent lots of time on the spacious deck. Very clean inside and fully stocked. Seriously - anything you need is here. The beach chairs and umbrella made our day on the sand perfect. Communication with the host was excellent. The location is amazing! We walked to almost everything. We’ll book again first chance we get.

Wonderful place to stay!

Fantastic location for easy and close beach access, and walkable to Carlsbad Village. Patio deck provides a great view of the beach and plenty of seating options. Love that it’s in a quiet neighborhood as well. Beds were comfy, lots of towels for beach and in house use. Had beach chairs, umbrellas and a wagon. Well stocked kitchen too! Will be first option if we return to Carlsbad!

Vacation with brother & wife from Washington state

This was a great property/condo for our stay. We loved our very large deck from which we had a front row seat to view the Pacific Ocean. So happy our daughter in law found this place for us. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Wonderful again!

We have stayed at this property now a handful of times and have never been disappointed. Dennis is a wonderful host. The property is clean and has all of the necessary amenities that we look for in a vacation. The outside deck is a huge bonus for this property. We eat breakfast there and dinner there and read and stare at the ocean and have a wonderful relaxing experience.

Wonderful experience in Carlsbad

The property was just as advertised. Walking distance to beach and town. It was very clean and all the equipment from kitchen appliances, utensils, linens were of top quality. Host was very easy to reach and responded to our questions speedily. We stayed for 2 months and were supplied with paper products, cleaning supplies and coffee for the entire time. We would highly recommend this property and will hope to stay there again should we return to the San Diego area. The weather was a little cooler than we had hoped for January and February.

Perfect 2 bedroom by the ocean

This is as a very cute and clean condo, with everything you need. Dennis the host is very helpful if you have any questions. The neighborhood is very safe and pleasant. It is only a couple minutes to the ocean. People are walking and enjoying the weather constantly. Carlsbad the town was quaint and cute with delightful residents. We hope to stay here again.

Great setup and location

This property is exceptional for its location and the massive 2nd story deck with ocean view! I spent every morning reading and having coffee and breakfast out on the deck while taking in the breeze and ocean view. At night, there is a great fire pit to hang out with a glass of wine. The unit is well stocked and the host is very attentive. The bedrooms could use some updating, particularly the mattresses and carpeting, but other than that the place is great.

Relaxing Stay Near the Beach in Carlsbad

We had a fantastic stay at this property in Carlsbad! The location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach and close to great restaurants in Carlsbad. The home was very clean and beautifully maintained, with a spacious deck with an ocean view. Perfect for relaxing or dining outside. The house was fully equipped with all the amenities we could need, from kitchen supplies, coffee pods, to comfortable bedding. We felt right at home. The host, Dennis, was incredibly responsive and helpful with any questions we had during our stay. Thank you, Dennis! We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a beach getaway with a great location, fantastic views, nearby restaurants, and all the comforts of home!

Ideal Spot!

We loved the location, with the beaches and the Village all within short walking distance. We also loved the large deck and the nice views. When I texted the host Dennis about a problem with the coin-operated dryer, he was super responsive and got right on it by coming over in person and fixing the problem himself. He even gave us a roll of quarters for the inconvenience. I wish all hosts were like him! We would not hesitate to return

Incredible spot

Can’t say enough good things about this vacation rental. It is located in an incredible spot just steps from the beach and the Carlsbad village. Our family took advantage of the easy access and the easy access gave us so much opportunity to enjoy the area. The condo is so well appointed and features everything you will need and more. The setup, furnishings, tvs and overall setup was perfect for relaxing at home. The large deck and view was also a an amazing amenity. Stay here and like all the people before us you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Dennis!!!

Completely as advertised

My family and I were very impressed with the preparations made for our stay. The apartment was immaculately clean. As has been mentioned before, everything you need is there and well stocked. We have stayed in rentals where the photography looked much better than the rental. Dennis' place is the real deal. Called Dennis for an issue, and he answered immediately and was going to come over and check it, but I cancelled it as it wasn't an issue at all. All in all, it was great.

Fabulous location, great home away from home

The home was wonderful, with comfy living room furniture and beds (although they are very soft, we still slept well!) The bedding is wonderful, and there are thick bath towels. The air con was greatly appreciated, as a few days it really got hot upstairs, even with all the windows open. Loved walking to the beach every morning for our daily exercise and peaceful, ocean sounds. We've already booked two weeks next year. We were pleasantly surprised to have a bottle of wine awaiting for us! What a nice touch. Thank you Dennis!
