Very pleased with our stay, location, and the Vacation in Carlsbad team. We stayed in SURF - upper middle door - and had enough room for two teens, hubby, and myself. Check in was a breeze as we finally arrived at 1:30 am and basically walked right in, travel weary, to a homey feel. I always bring basic cleaning supplies when we travel but did NOT need to use them - this is a first! Everything was spotless, clean, and well organized. Kitchen necessities, detergents, laundry, and high-end bathroom essentials were well stocked and easy to find. Place was decorated in a fun Cali vibe. Beds and pillows were comfortable to sleep with for the entire week. Beach was a very quick walk down the block, turn left to crosswalk, then down to the sand. If you aren't familiar, all traffic must stop when crosswalk lights are in use. Downtown Carlsbad was a short walk, down the block then turn right. Walk is 5-10 minutes to great food and fun shopping. Game room was fun but could use an update - pinball and foosball table could be replaced. We still enjoyed some evening time with the other games. Apparently there were other renters, but we didn't hear anything. No tv's, music, or even doors. The Vacation in Carlsbad team was friendly and introduced themselves when around. We would DEFINITELY book directly with the Vacation in Carlsbad team should we be lucky enough to visit Carlsbad again. If this is your first experience with rentals or Carlsbad vacationing, be sure to look up Vacation in Carlsbad and feel confident in choosing any of their locations.

This was a great location, excellent amenities and the host went above and beyond. Would recommend this place to anyone looking.

This property delivers on every level. Fantastic location, the host Nancy was a pleasure and everything was clean and well stocked. We'd come back next time we are in town.

Property is in a great location and was a short walk to the beach. We appreciated having two bedrooms and bathrooms. It is in a building with other units but we did not have any noice from the other people living there. The shed with beach supplies was great and our kids appreciated having everything there. Beds were comfortable and the unit was clean. Management was responsive. Would stay again.

Best Vrbo stay yet. So nice. Best hosts. Very clean. Very helpful. Thought of every way to make our stay memorable

Perfect place! Will stay here again and again!

Everything was as expected and more! Great location, very clean, easy walk to the beach and the village. We hope to be back!

2nd time staying here. Everything was great!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Surf apartment. It was perfectly clean, super comfortable, had everything we needed, and was walking distance to the beach and the town center. We were able to cook some meals and dine out at some truly amazing restaurants in Carlsbad. We will absolutely be staying here again! Highly recommend.

Pictures don’t do it justice. The place was very clean, all appliances are high quality and worked perfectly, and the hosts were awesome and very accommodating.

Property was perfect! Short walk to beach and the village, even for little kids. Beach storage shed had plenty of stuff for each unit. We will be booking again!

This was our first time staying in Carlsbad and we couldn’t be happier with the location, parking, proximity to the beach and things to do in the village.

We had a wonderful vacation to end summer and this property had everything to make this vacation special. Providing boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrellas, bbq, fire pit and beach towels made it super convenient and added to our experience. Property management team was quick to respond to any questions and really friendly. They thought everything so we didn’t have to. Highly recommend!

We have stayed in a number of S. Cal resort towns and Carlsbad is now my favorite. The property was less than one block from the beach. It is a short walk to the village. I didn't cook much but everything I needed was here. For unforeseen reasons, I traveled solo, but the place has two identical bedrooms and baths so is perfect for two couples or a family with kids. The apartment is fairly basic (i..e no hot tub, roof deck etc.), just as advertised in the pictures and a great comfortable clean place as home base. The key lock system is brilliant. Easy check-in, easy access--couldn't lock myself out. I had a wonderful time.

Loved this place. Celebrated 60th BD. Would definitely stay again.

Fantastic !!! Everything was as it should be.

We are so lucky we found this place. It was perfect for our two kids and had everything we needed. It was six minutes walking to the beach or ten minutes to town. We were so glad that we did not have to haul beach chairs, towels, or boogie boards. Everything was supplied for us. The location was great and the property was super clean and spacious. The bonus game room was a nice touch for downtime from the beach. Our kids absolutely loved it and so did the adults. Hoping to rent this place again. We really enjoyed ourselves and loved it.

Loved this place. It was clean, modern, close to the ocean and to the village. We highly recommend

Great rental near the beach. Fantastic support from owners.

We celebrated a 50th birthday get away in the Surf suite. Everything was immaculate with the property and our suite. We had a party of 4 adults, and it was nice to each have individual matching king beds and baths. The common area was very nice, and the kitchen was great to work in. Had everything you would need minus the food and spices! Being 1 block to the beach and a short walk to the Village was a nice bonus also. We will be back!

Really sharp place. Block from a not-crowded part of Tamarack beach. Half mile to all the stuff in the village - not too close and not too far. Not sure what more you could ask for.

We were a party of 5 ranging from 4 years old to 72 and the stay did not disappoint anybody. The surf suite was just a short walk to the beach and to the village of Carlsbad. The neighborhood was super quiet even on Labor Day weekend. Mary the property manager made us feel like we were family and was available to answer any questions. We will be back and we'll bring more family with us to rent out the the joining unit! Thank you VIC for a 5 star stay! P.S. Your beds are so incredibly comfortable.

Everything as advertised. Loved the individual controls for AC in each room and king beds. Parked the car and walked to downtown for shopping and eating as well as Coaster train to San Diego. Would highly recommend.
