This house was perfect for my family's one week stay in Carlsbad. My two younger sons (8 & 11) loved hanging out in the playroom with the toys and the foosball table. My 13 year old loved her room and could find plenty of spots around the house, inside or out, to unwind when she wasn't hanging out with us. House is in a quiet neighborhood and the beach was about a 10 min. walk. Even during the busy days there was no problem finding a spot on the beach to set up for the day. House is also close to attractions (Legoland) and about a 10 min drive to Carlsbad Village for shops and restaurants. And if you don't want to drive and park, there's a train about a 5 min walk from the house that you can catch that takes you into Carlsbad, or down to San Diego if you're heading that way. Very convenient. The house was clean and spacious, and the pictures and descriptions were accurate. This isn't a house where you get there and realize the pictures are dated and everything isn't quite as nice as you expected. The house is awesome!
What really set the experience apart for us compared to previous rentals were the hosts. Kim was very helpful and quick to respond to any questions. When we expressed interest in surf lessons she went out of her way to provide recommendations and even left wetsuits for all three kids. The lessons were one of the big highlights of the trip for our kids. We had one of our best vacations and would love to return in the future. Thanks Kim & Jeff!

This Carlsbad beach house was perfect for our family vacation! The location was perfect. A very nice south Carlsbad State beach was easily accessed by a 10 minute walk. The house itself was located in a cul-de-sac neighborhood which was nice and quiet. Kim and Jeff thought of every need in the house including skewers for roasting marshmallows on the outdoor fire pit. The converted playroom garage area was fully stocked with toys that fit all age groups. Our grandsons had hours of fun in the playroom! There was easy access to Interstate 5 making it easy to get to San Diego and various theme parks. Thank you Kim and Jeff for sharing your beautiful beach house!

This home was so great for our family of 6! We have 4 kids 8 and under and Kim & Jeff converted the garage into a kids room and it was the best! The kids loved it! We had a 6 month old baby and they had extra baby items, bouncer, High chair, crib and other things that were great to have since we couldn’t fit those in our suitcases. The fire pit was a hit for our kids too! The beach was about a 10 min walk away and down a set of stairs and it was the perfect distance for our kids to walk to and from. The house was very clean and organized. We also went to Legoland and it was a 10 min drive. Jeff & Kim even gave us wetsuits for our kids, which was really nice! They made the whole process easy. We will definitely be staying here again next time we come down!

Such a wonderful home for a big family vacation! Close to the beach, spotless, great communication from hosts, comfy beds, awesome playroom, tons of amenities - we had a blast. Kids loved making S’mores! Thank you!

The property was clean and well appointed. I generally expect this from a rental. What put this over the top was the kids playroom and closeness to both the beach and Legoland. Perfect for a family with young kids!

This house is an absolute dream. When you imagine getting a house close to the beach, you wouldn’t even hope it was this good. The pictures are accurate. It was spotlessly clean and had everything you could need. The neighborhood felt so safe and welcoming. My 80-year-old in-laws took a walk every morning and loved it. We had three generations staying at the house, and we all had enough living space and hangout space. The owners are beyond gracious and wonderful to communicate with. Do yourself a favor and book this house!

Perfect getaway location! The house is so family friendly and conveniently located. We enjoyed the beach, Lego Land and the zoo. All 3 generations were happy! It is one of the nicest stays we’ve had as the owners have thought of everything and were so nice to rent from. Hope to go back!

Amazing host! The house lacked nothing. We walked to the beach every day, they supplied everything we needed to enjoy our beach time. The play room was well thought of. The kids had a blast in there. Highly recommended for family. Thank you, Jeff and Kim:)

Our family was so happy that we found this house in Carlsbad! It was perfectly located for our beach day, SD zoo day, and legoland. Even staying in the home was great due to the perfect playroom for kids that kept them entertained for hours.
There is something for everyone in the home. The backyard was great to hang out in with the fire pit and patio furniture.
The interior of the home was great for entertaining, especially the kitchen and dining area. The kitchen contained all the essential cookware needed.
All the bedrooms are upstairs with a baby gate already installed at the top of the stairs which was perfect for our little ones.
We met the owners, Jeff and Kim, who are wonderful hosts and readily available for anything you should need in your trip as they are right next door!
We can’t wait to come back as a family and enjoy vacations for years to come in this Carlsbad home.

Wow. This home is perfection! We head to Carlsbad yearly for the 4th of July and this is by far our favorite home. The kitchen is stocked, the play room is wonderful, the beds are so cozy, and steps away from the beach!
The homeowners are the sweetest, leaving goodies for the kids and jumped onto any requests we had, including helping find a babysitter!
We will be back and we cannot recommend this rental enough! Thank you Jeff and Kim!

We enjoyed our stay at this great property. Owners were easy to communicate with and so accommodating. House was very clean and well appointed. The play room for kids is also amazing. Short walk to the beach and plenty of beach equipment on hand to use. Nice central location to all things Carlsbad, Oceanside and San Diego. Legoland, the zoo, safari park, aquarium, and delicious u-pick it strawberries close by.

Loved everything about this property! Location was great- a short walk to the beach; enough spaces for everyone- the playroom was perfect for our grandkids (and even our adult kids at night); and the kitchen was stocked well enough for us to cook every meal. We will definitely stay again next time we’re in Carlsbad! Thank you Kim and Jeff!

Everything we needed for an amazing family vacation was included in this VRBO. Our kids and grandkids had so much fun. The playroom was perfect and well equipped for "down time". Quiet time around the fire pit after the kids were asleep was amazing. The hosts were very accommodating and the thought of everything a family would need.
5.0
Beautiful house! Fully equipped with everything we needed and the kids loved the playroom. All four bedrooms and two full bathrooms are upstairs (plus a half-bath downstairs). Three of the bedrooms share one hall access bathroom, so maybe not an ideal setup for multiple non-related families but worked fine for our 3- generation family group. We all enjoyed our stay!
5.0
We had an amazing stay! Logistics and communication were seamless. Beautiful home, location is excellent, quiet neighborhood, easy stroll to the beach, steps to the train station yet no train noise. The best part however was the play room! We had 4 kids that would have spent the trip playing in the playroom if we'd have let them! Definitely would recommend this stay!

My husband and I stayed here with our 3 kids (ages 8, 6 and 1) and our nanny. The house was perfect for us. It had everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and beach chairs/toys for having fun at the beach. The beach was such a short walk away it was so nice. The playroom was perfect for keeping the kids entertained while we made meals or got ready in the morning. We had family foosball tournaments and had so much fun we'll be buying a foosball table when we return home! The home was a quick drive to all the activities we did - San Diego Zoo, Legoland, Flower Fields, Torrey Pines, Encinitas. It was a great spring break trip for us and we'll definitely return. The hosts were easy to contact and made everything great.

The house is wonderful…really well equipped….the owners couldn’t have been more helpful…very kid friendly. I have recommended it to friends already. The location near the beach is great and being on a dead end road it is quiet. We were 6 adults and 2 kids and we had lots of room to spread out. Can’t say enough about it.

The property and hosts are wonderful! Kim was very responsive and attentive. The house was equipped with everything we needed. It's located in a nice neighborhood close to the beach and Legoland. I was a little worried about the walk to the beach with two young children, but it is a breeze and safe due to easily accessible crosswalks. I would highly recommend and stay here again!

Wonderful Carlsbad Trip
The house was amazing and so well equipped. We had everything we needed. The host was accessible and great to work with. We had a great time and were very comfortable. The playroom and backyard were great for downtime with the grandkids. We also loved Carlsbad and the house was an easy walk or drive to the beach. Highly recommend.

A great home for multi-generational families!
This home had everything our family needed and so much more. The kitchen is large and far more than adequately equipped. A play room for the kids. Great front patio and backyard. ( The fire pit was an excellent gathering place at night for conversation and S’mores, Thank you, Kim and Todd!) Private and quiet spaces, when needed and owners are right next door, should you need anything.
Truly a great home in a great area!

This was the absolutely perfect house for our stay. The owners are wonderful and so kind. They truly care about their guests and made the entire process so carefree. If you have young children, I would 100% recommend staying at this property. It is very kid friendly with so many fun activities to entertain the kids. Even if traveling without kids, this property is beautiful with a great yard and location to the beach. The amenities were above and beyond, and the house was very clean. We will definitely book this property again the next time we’re in town. This was, by far, the most positive experience we have ever had with booking a vacation property. Thank you Jeff and Kim for giving us a memorable family vacation!!

First annual family reunion
This was the perfect home for our 3 small families (6 adults, 2 toddlers, 1 infant). Everyone had their own space (key to sanity), the littles had the most amazing playroom, and the kitchen was fully kitted which made it easy to prepare our own meals and even have a few friends and family members come by to enjoy the property and the nearby beach. Kim was always just a helpful text message away. And the location can't be beat with easy access to grocery stores and local attractions.

There truly are not enough words to describe how wonderful our time at Jeff and Kim’s home was! It absolutely felt like home! We were greeted with all the fixings for s’mores and coffee beans to grind. The house is very clean, well appointed and thoughtful, adorably decorated, convenient to anything we wanted to do and comfortable enough to relax and stay in. Morning coffee around the fire pit was a favorite for us all… a super way to get the day started. Our son in law enjoyed a surf spot at the beach access as well. Our 15 month old grandson LOVED the playroom!
Jeff and Kim were also very responsive to any questions we had. Very friendly and kind! We will definitely return on any future west coast trips!!! Truly a great experience and beautiful home!

I highly recommend this home!

We had a wonderful stay at the house. Jeff and Kim were very accommodating and answered any questions quickly. Our two families (4 adults and 5 children) were very comfortable in all of the bedrooms and the kids loved the play room and backyard space. The beach was an easy 5 minute walk and was never busy. The house is well stocked with everything you need to cook and enjoy your stay. We would definitely stay at this property again!
