"Our family of four stayed at this lovely beach house over spring break. You can’t beat the location, just a short walk from the beach and not far from Carlsbad Village, grocery stores and restaurants. The home was very comfortable, clean and had a fabulous outdoor space. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals and we took advantage of the outdoor gas grill as well. It was a bit cool and rainy the week we were there, so the indoor gas fireplace was a nice amenity. Pam was a gracious...

"House is well furnished and comfortable. However if you are still a cable TV person like us you will be frustrated by the Roku TV. You can not access many channels unless you have access to a streaming service and the Roku channels had programs we’d never heard. To relax in the evening we had to watch old episodes of Rockford files."

Omni La Costa Resort & Spa Carlsbad

Omni La Costa Resort & Spa Carlsbad

5/5 Excellent
"Great service, with one exception at our initial seating in the bar where it took too long for our server to acknowledge us and take our order. Amazing team on both shifts for the front desk and Kidtopia. Awesome family pools and water slide options. Delicious food, reasonable value. Cocktails are a bit pricey. Did not get a chance to golf this time, but the course looks to be in great shape."
