Great location only 5 minutes from the beach and local to cafes, restaurants, and shops. Nice to have the beach gear available especially the umbrellas and towels. Kitchen is well equipped for basic cooking tasks like making some breakfast or the pot of Mac n cheese when you just can’t fathom taking exhausted kids to a restaurant. Just a note the laundry on the property is shared and coin op or app-pay; throw some detergent pods and dryer sheets in your luggage if you think you need it.

Everything really was really ideal for me, my dad, and my two kids. Having the comfortable couch, beds and grounds was amazing! My kids and I felt very safe and there was so much with in walking distance. We would love to stay here again

Impeccable location, for our family just right.

My 2 young children and I had a very comfortable stay. The home itself is very child friendly, beds were super comfortable, and the neighborhood itself was very quiet. The train does run by and you can hear it BUT it didn’t bother us at all and my kids actually loved it and would look out the kitchen window whenever they heard it come by. We came at the end of May so the weather was perfect and the house temperature wasn’t stuffy and we were never cold in the mornings. All basic necessities were provided which I appreciated (I forgot salt and was thrilled to see some in the cabinet). I appreciated all the extra beach gear. We didn’t use it but it was nice to know it was there if we needed it.
I did have trouble at check in. There were 2 codes but only one was given to me and after some confusion on the phone with customer service we figured it out. Also the shower door was wobbly which I had noted as I was bathing my kids but at one point my elbow had barely tapped it and the whole door fell off. I caught it before it hit the floor but I’m afraid if I didn’t it would have cracked or shattered. Maybe something to look into for maintenance.
Overall I 100% recommend staying here. It’s the perfect location for families who want to be near the beach as well as shopping/restaurants. We hope to be back soon!

We walked everywhere we needed to go. The home base was a great place to crash. The complex is super convenient and cute. Perfect for our relaxing weekend. I even used the lawn to stretch after my runs on the beach.

Located next to it all in Carlsbad. As the listing says you can hear the training horn blow from 7am-12:30am whenever it passes by. Home has a lot of amenities like beach supplies and games.

We really enjoyed our stay. Nice location and clean. Just not kid friendly

This is an amazing place and also location. Close to downtown, restaurants, and the ocean. This is a kid friendly place with items for the beach like chairs, umbrellas, toys, boogie-boards, etc. The kitchen has everything that you need for most cooking efforts.

Sweet spot for a getaway. Close to the beach and The Village.

This was a really convenient place to stay - good location (few minutes walk to the beach & into town) and the place had everything we needed. It was a comfy place to stay, and we enjoyed the boogie boards. There is a train that runs through town that is pretty loud, which ran pretty late and started early, but that was the only downfall.

Place is close to Carlsbad village and stores!! Place was clean and had all you needed. Very quiet place to stay so not a place to party. Stayed with my 2-kids and had plenty of space.

This condo was in a great location. Walking distance to the beach and restaurants. It’s an upper level unit so there are some stairs to climb up. Overall we had a good experience.

Garbage disposal was not working. Frying pans were rusted out. No cooking/baking sheet was available. Besides that everything was great!

Great trip. Clean and comfortable. Easy to get to everything you want. That parking spot is super tricky plan on walking once your parked.

What a great place to stay. Clean close everything including the beach! AC was amazing over the hot hot weekend! Highly recommend staying here!! Thanks for a great vacation!!

Close to the beach and the village. Unfortunately, it is also close to the train but it grows on you eventually. Bar next door can get loud but they do stop the loud music at a decent time so it did not bother our sleep. The apartment was clean and full of amenities. The complex is also family friendly. This was our first time trying out a vacation home instead of staying in a hotel and we will definitely come back.

The location is phenomenal, close to beach, close to shopping, close to restaurants. Loved the amount of room for our family with the 2 beds in the second bedroom. Also loved how clean it was when we first walked in!

We stayed for a month and it felt like home. Lovely location. Met one of the other owners who was so nice. Everything you need is provided, you literally only need your clothes. Grounds are immaculate. Parking space was bonus. Close to everything. Will definitely be back .

Clean place, super comfy beds! Only a block from the Village shops and maybe 2 blocks to the ocean beach with public bathrooms and a long walkway. Awesome little coffee/breakfast place right across the street from the condo (Cafe Elysa). We used one of the outdoor grills at the condo out in the yard one night. Oh, my friend appreciated all the mirrors in the condo especially if you have a lot of girls getting ready - full length mirrored closet doors in both bedrooms and in hallway as well as bathroom mirror and another small hallway mirror. The dining table easily sat 6 of us. Just be careful parking- it's a tight spot especially if you have a big SUV.

This property/unit is located within walking distance of just about everything you could want! Shopping, restaurants and the beach are all within minutes!
Please note that if you stay in unit 17, the parking space is very very tight (against a wall and a pole and a small wall behind it that doesn’t allow for good range to get in and will break your entire bumper panel when you accidentally back into it in the dark…ask me how I know 😭). I would say if you have a large truck or large suv, the parking is pretty close to impossible.
Unit was clean and very well stocked. I had a glitch with the entry code they sent me. It was the wrong one and after backing into a wall and breaking my SUV, not being able to get inside without calling their call center for assistance was frustrating. We’d stay again but pick a different unit for parking or just park at the lot on the end of the street like we ended up doing!

We reserved for two nights and left by 10 am after the first night. A few reasons why.
First, the lock code given to us was for the interior door, not the lockbox on the outside of the door. We couldn't see the interior door to know there was another code lock/handle because the outside safety door was too rusted over. We had to call and sort it out with the help line. That would seem like not a big deal to most people but we have a special needs kid that was losing her mind with all the waiting.
Second, the property needs attention. Housekeeping certainly did their best but when things are run down it's hard to make anything really sparkle. Disappointing since it was our first "vacation" since 2018.
Third, while this is a fantastic location if you want to be close to the beach and easy-peasy walking to restaurants/shopping, we experienced three unsavory events in less than 12 hours. An individual was captured on our vehicle camera looking for a spot to do their drugs at about 2 am (left quickly when our sentry mode kicked in.) Another man in hot pants and little else picked a fight with my husband who was outside near the street minding his own business (early evening). Finally, he also witnessed a guy pick pocket another person on a bike he (the assailant) was assaulted by the person he stole from while getting his wallet back. (about 9 in the morning, seriously.) I don't think we will stay in Carlsbad again, just bizarre.
High points: this condo has a bunch of beach stuff for use (chairs, boogie boards, umbrellas), kitchen full of stuff (coffee pot, toasters, knives for cutting, seasonings/coffee filters, stuff like that to help make simple meals and feel more comfortable), games/DVDs, etc. The parking spot is wonderful, easily accessible, and as I said above the building is right in the middle of all the fun.

Great location, nice condo. First impression though when walking up to the place the security door looks awful. Needs paint desperately. I’m sure it’s due to the ocean moisture but would help to make a better impression. Other than that the place was very comfortable.
