"This property worked great for our one week family getaway for us the kids, grandkids and a small dog. We were also able to host a couple “pool party BBQ for nearby extended family. The house configuration is a little quirky, but comfortable, and the room accommodations worked well for a family setting. It has easy walking to both Carlsbad Village and Tamarack/Warm Water Jetty Beaches. Driveway parking accommodations for two cars in driveway and ample street parking met all our needs. The Heavy duty washer/dryer got a good workout with the generous supply of beach towels."

10/10 Excellent

"The Pool was the biggest hit!! Close location to the beach, convenient to freeway, communicative host and just the right amount of rooms. Very close to Legoland and the music museum. No air conditioning was the only draw back in summer. It was still mid-70's most evenings. Use the provided mini fans next to your windows and it get cooler in the evening when you do."
