Very nice house with a great location. Some of the furniture certainly not the best. Most disappointing was we had to buy paper towel and toilet paper. The house came with the cheapest of both.
Frank M. | Jun 2025
This unit was decorated nicely with a beachy, comfortable theme. We really liked the beds, very comfortable and sheets were nice. The location was okay, but a bit far if visiting San Diego area (only because traffic is bad). The pool & hot tub area looked great, but unfortuneatly we didn't have a chance to try it out, even though it was only a block away. Upon arriving, the rusty security gate at the front and side door, were disappointing, as was the dingy mat outside. I'm a clean freak, so maybe it's just me. All rooms were very comfortable, but spare bedroom needs an overhead fan as it got warm and the window faces the front of the house & neighbors. The standing fan that was in that room was old and wobbly. Nice having a washer/dryer, though they are old. Kitchen was outfitted, but think it needs a deep clean. Even though the garage wasn't available to park, there was plenty of parking in front of the unit. Area was safe and quiet. It's very close to the beach too, sadly, not enough time to really explore the area. Dining options outside were a bit limited, though we liked the Windmill Food Hall (?) that had good options and was close by.

We loved our experience at this home! The house was immaculate and had lots of beach chairs, an umbrella and a few extras. It’s such a short walk to the beach and it was absolutely the best. Can’t wait to come back and stay again next year!

Carlsbad is known as the Flower Capital of the U.S. for its Giant Tecolote Ranunculus fields, which pop into stunning bloom in March, but that’s just the beginning of what this town has to offer. An affluent beach village with a beautiful coastline, the town is also a hot spot for foodies, families, and surfers. Its most notable surf beach is Tamarack Surf Beach, while South Carlsbad State Beach offers a quieter and secluded feel. 

If you’re traveling with kids, make sure to visit Legoland for rides and games, as well as a stop at Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park, which houses gorgeous free-roaming peacocks. Laze the day away at the beach, grab lunch at a taco stand, tour the Sea Life Aquarium, and visit the village flea market. All the fun awaits with Carlsbad beach rentals.
