About this house rental
Come stay at our recently remodeled Beach House right on the famous and centrally located Pacific Coast Highway 101. Discover the only private beach in Carlsbad right across the street from your front door. Short and easy 2 minute walk to beach.
After spending time in the surf and sand, come inside and enjoy the partial ocean views from the living room! Free wi-fi and satellite TVs are available in each bedroom. Hungry? Cook something up in our fully outfitted Granite Kitchen or hop in your car and take a short drive into Carlsbad Village and enjoy one of the amazing restaurants nearby. (We will leave you a list of our personal favorites!) Afterwards, if you're feeling adventurous explore the local nightspots where you can enjoy a margarita by the fire pits, or maybe you'll opt for a romantic stroll along the beach under the stars instead.
When you return home relax in the jacuzzi bathtub or light a fire in the fireplace. Sink into the softest sofa known to man and watch a movie with your loved ones. When you just can't keep your eyes open any longer sprawl out on one of our Queen sized "Heavenly" Westin Beds and fall asleep to the sound of Ocean waves.
If you've got little ones, bring them! Our large enclosed backyard is lush and perfect for kids who like to play. Not only that but Legoland, Legoland Water Park, and the Sealife Aquarium are less than 2 miles away and very easy to find! If you're up for a little bit of a drive you can take them to the San Diego Zoo, the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, Knott's Berry Farm, Seaworld, or Disneyland all less than an hours drive away.
There is so much to do in Carlsbad including lots of activities for those seeking a quiet getaway without children too. Make sure you check out our favorite things to do in Carlsbad in the "Activities" section below. We also live in Carlsbad and know the area very well and would be more than happy to answer any questions you might have by email, text, or phone if you choose to stay with us!

My family had a great stay. Super close to the beach and a short drive to the restaurants on Carlsbad Village Dr. Really well equipped kitchen and nice fenced back yard. Clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

The property is perfect, location not so much. It's not a 2 min. walk to the beach, much longer and steep for those who have knee issues. High traffic all night/morning long making it very difficult to sleep without earplugs.

The property was centrally located to local beaches and amenities. It had plenty of space for my family and I.

Perfectly located; freeway close, shopping and of course steps from the ocean! Ocean facing front yard with Adirondack chairs where 4 adults and one child can breathe in the sea breeze. Retreat to the backyard where privacy and beauty meet. Beautifully blooming shrubs, a pretty shed, a barbecue area and string lights were enjoyed well into the evening. The split floor plan and gourmet kitchen created a home away from home vibe after long days at the beach. A quiet and spacious get away for small groups.

We had a wonderful stay at the bungalow. Tamar, the property manager, was fantastic to work with and very communicative. That is deeply appreciated. The bungalow has a wonderful rear yard and everything you need for a great stay. We felt very much at home. Great care has been taken with this property and we will certainly be back. Thank you!

This place was the perfect find for our family (mom, dad, 3 young kids, & grandma).
Everyone had fun at the neighborhood beach, especially the early morning tide pools! We also did legoland and even got a date night in the downtown area. The house was clean and cozy, and both yards were beautiful and enjoyed by all.

Enjoyed our stay and immediately felt comfortable in this well kept beach bungalow house with Crate & Barrel esthetic decor. Beds were extremely comfortable and it was nice having a small fenced backyard for our dog to relax in especially since the house is on busy PCH Hwy 1. There is a sizable front lawn that separates the house from the road but during high traffic hours even in the Winter time the road noise is intrusive enough that we kept the front windows closed. During the less busy times we could hear the surf from the ocean which was nice. A previous tip from another review recommending backing in to park on the driveway was very helpful when leaving the property. We loved being able to walk 1/2 a block down the road to the signal light which made it easy to safely cross the road where you can immediately either take the moderate stairs to the beach or walk along the bluff with unobstructed views of the coast and ocean. Extremely nice not to have to drive and look for parking.
The manager was very nice and promptly addressed any concerns as well as gave us a wonderful tip on a local flower mart. I appreciated all the small conveniences that one sees in a property run by owner or family.
It was nice having a full kitchen with large refrigerator, gas stove, and a Vitamix blender. However, we were rather disappointed in the lack of a lot of basic staples for cooking and the minimal dishware. A set of basic Corelleware would be much preferred to the small set of Melamine dishes which I would not microwave. We did not cook while we were there but I feel like I would need to bring some of our own cookware & supplies if we did. We are Foodies though so maybe have higher expectations.
The floor plan with a nice new master suite converted from what used to be the garage makes it convenient for 2 couples as it can be closed off with a locking door and is situated on opposite sides of the house from the other bedrooms giving lots of privacy. Also having all the rooms on one floor made it easier for my elderly mother to visit with us during the daytime. A few minor hiccups but all in all had a most enjoyable stay in this charming bungalow.

Great Location with Relaxing Backyard
The house was perfectly appointed in a great location: two blocks from the gorgeous beach beneath the cliffs— advise checking and going at lower tides. Close enough to get to markets and downtown restaurants and shopping, far enough away from crowds.
Many houses in the neighborhood are undergoing teardown/ rebuild or major modernization and we encountered some disruption from such activity— we nevertheless felt right at home.
Final note: the owner and manager were responsive and magnificent!

Very relaxing. The house was perfect. Neighbored to the south were noisy ☹️A little information regarding best beach access would have been useful. Parking for the beach was horrible, might of been worse because of the holiday but suggestions would have been appreciated. Still, everything was delightful. Thank you,

Great week!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the home was cozy, loved eating dinner on the back patio every night, walked across the street to beach every day and kids boogie boarded nonstop. We brought our pups and they loved their morning walk on the bluffs, and lounging in the shade of the beautiful Magnolia Tree in the backyard.
The location is a bit removed from town, which was perfect for us. But, you are still only a quick 5 minute drive away from Carlsbad Village. The Carlsbad Outlets are also only about a 5 minute drive.
The home is situated on Carlsbad Ave (which is actually part of the Pacific Coast Highway), so there is a lot of activity happening out front. I loved sitting on the front porch with a peek a boo view of the ocean, watching all the street traffic - on foot, bicycles and cars piled high with surfboards. We even saw a Unicycler ride by! It really makes you feel like you are in the thick of the beach community. And when you want to step away for peace and quiet, the backyard is waiting with twinkle lights and beautiful landscaping.
Our host, Tamar, was responsive and extremely accommodating. We would love to visit again!

Perfect for Legoland Family trip
We absolutely loved this house! It was so nicely decorated, furnished and very, very comfortable all around (beds, sofa, towels, kitchen stuff, etc). The view of the water in front was more than we expected, and the walk to the beach was so easy. We really enjoyed exploring the tide pools in the morning, and later on we'd drive a couple minutes to the beach closer to town. It's just 5-10 minutes to Legoland, and we opted to take UberX as that was cheaper than the parking fee. Since we like to drink, we also would Uber into town at night which was just about $5, so easy and convenient. Our favorite dinners were Campfire and Land and Sea company. Costco was super close, and Ralph's was an easy drive as well. The owner provided a large jug of drinking water, and laundry and dishwasher soap were available. The washer/dryer worked great and we were so happy to have that. Beach towels, chairs and toys were so nice to have on hand as well. Tamar was very responsive, friendly, and helpful, and we highly recommend this rental for anyone heading to Legoland or just wanting a relaxing SoCal experience.

A Well-Appointed Vacation House
The house, facing Carlsbad Blvd, with the ocean and beach across the street, has all the amenities that make for a comfortable stay for two to three couples or a family with children. The kitchen appliances, including a gas stove with multiple burners and oven, a convection oven microwave, and a Vitamix blender allow for the preparation of complex meals if one is so inclined. The private backyard has a grill, lounge chairs, and a large outdoor table and chairs. There are bicycles, beach chairs, and umbrellas for guest use. Four decent-sized TVs, one in each of the three bedrooms and one in the living room, allow guests great flexibility in their viewing preferences. Having a dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer is a great convenience. The place is clean and well-lighted, and the property managers attentive to any problems. The way the house is situated you have to back out of the driveway onto heavily-trafficked Carlsbad Blvd, but one quickly learns how to safely do that. All in all, a fine rental.

Our experince was exceptional. The house was so inviting, very clean, comfortable and the landscaping was just beautiful and well maintained...... Very accomidating in kitchenware. We were in Carlsbad for a family wedding at the Flower Fields which was less than two minutes away. Our extended family from Japan and neighboring states, we were able visit us the day after the wedding for simple lunch at the house. Abundent seating on the patio along with the dining area accomidated us all nicely for an afternoon visit, While the older children visited the beach. The Public beach access was just up or down the street. I was able to walk the beach in comfort and always felt safe. It amazed me to see so many people using the bike and walking path in front of the house. I am Nascar fan, so sitting on the front porch was heaven. Looking across to the ocean view, beautiful landscape and busy street ....I was perfectly happy. I highly recommend this house if you are visiting the Carlsbad area. (ps, my only suggestion if possible and not too much to maintain would be a wireless printer, in order to print boarding passes for those flying out, We were able to locate the nearest Fed Ex store to print them rather than spending $10 at airport.)
Thank You for a very enjoyable house for our visit. VRBO is my new best friend. :)

We have stayed at many VRBO rentals over the years and this property is at the top of our list. Clean and everything we needed for our family........Beach toys a huge asset to our granddaughters....who are 9 and 4....Lovely safe and fenced backyard. We took Tamara's advise on Restaurants....we were not disappointed! The beds were great especially the pillows! This was important for "Nana" who has had back surgery! The house is centrally located for all our outings....Legoland and San Diego Zoo. We took advantage of the Coaster it beats dealing with heavy traffic and the price is right. Kudo's to Tamara for making our holiday a great experience! We will be back!
