Great location. House was clean and comfortable. Our dog loved the yard! Kitchen well stocked for cooking. Busy street so a bit difficult to pull out of driveway.

Great location. Very walkable, no car needed unless you need to go to a large grocery store. Close to restaurants, shops and a nice path along the beach.

**Magical Beach House Experience** I recently had the pleasure of staying at a truly magical beach house that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into a dream. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the breathtaking view from the deck, where we were lucky enough to watch playful dolphins frolicking in the water. It was a serene and captivating experience that I will cherish forever. The location couldn't be better—just a short walk to the pristine beach. It was so convenient to pop over whenever we wanted to soak up the sun or take a refreshing dip in the ocean. The beach itself was beautiful and not overly crowded, making it perfect for relaxation and fun. What truly set this beach house apart were the thoughtful amenities. They provided bikes, boogie boards, and an assortment of beach toys that added so much joy to our days. We spent hours riding along the shoreline and playing in the waves, creating unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime. Overall, this beach house was a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and magic. I can't recommend it enough for anyone looking for a memorable getaway filled with ocean adventures and relaxation. I can't wait to return!

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.
