Beach & town 2 blocks away. Private. Families & dogs. Safe parking.

This property exceeded my expectations in every way imaginable. It will be the first place I look for next time i visit. Jim left us with a picture too bring home and also kept in touch with us about things going on in Carlsbad during our stay. We were sad to leave but excited to visit again. Thanks!

Loved Jimmy’s place!!!!

Jim was excellent host and place is amazing.

We had a great weekend! The property was perfect and owner was awesome too! Will definitely be back!

AMAZING!!!

Truly had the greatest time in this beautiful home! It has been equipped to allow you enjoy Carlsbad like a local. The location is perfect and the private patio with fire pit is such an oasis. So thankful to have enjoyed this stunning home!

Amazing stay. Cute little sanctuary by the beach

A very nice property in a great location. The garden was beautiful,and the off-street parking is a definite plus.

This is a great house with a wonderful, private, peaceful yard. Great amenities, kitchen is well stocked, location is perfect-just a few blocks from shopping, restaurants and the beach. The host is very communicative and helpful. We had a wonderful stay and can't wait to go back.

We enjoyed our stay and the patio was a great place to relax. Very close to everything.

If you want a nice and serene place to stay in Carlsbad this is the place. It's nice to have a nice, secure place to yourself to wind done at night. And it was so close to the beach and had a wagon with chairs and towels to use. Jim was a very great host.

Jim was great. Our dogs loved the back yard.

Perfect place for a family of 3 beach getaway! We loved everything and definitely plan to day here again in the future.

Perfect location, great price, overall a great place to stay!

Lovely. Very clean well equipped

When we arrived in Carlsbad, we were excited to get to beach just a short ealk from the property. But when we got to this fantastic home, we were so in love with this hone we didnt want to leave! The hone is so cute and comfortable. But the yard was my favorite part. It was so peaceful. We loves sitting outside with the sounds of the waterfountains and the beautiful wall mural and landscaping. This is paradise. Everything was so clean. The host is very friendly and accessible.

The accommodation was excellent. The location has easy access to the beach and Carlsbad Village.We enjoyed the shops and restaurants, and especially the Wednesday farmers market.

Host was extremely welcoming. Loved the outdoor space. Truly paradise

Great stay! Very quiet, nice easy access to the beach & restaurants, & we really enjoyed a couple nights around the fire pit!

This tranquil escape located in the heart of charming Carlsbad was, without question, our favorite place we've stayed on vacation. The home was so well appointed with all the amenities needed, including a full kitchen with loads of kitchen supplies, a wagon and beach supplies for fun days in the sand, a peaceful and serene private courtyard with fire pit and outdoor shower, and the proximity to the beach and downtown Carlsbad couldn't be beat. The icing on the cake is the host, Jim. He's incredibly responsive, kind, accommodating, and seems to have 'never known a stranger'. Jim, thank you again for everything. We are excited to become repeat guests!

Absolutely wonderful! The house is cute, clean, and very functional. The yard is fantastic with privacy, an outdoor shower, and lovely greenery. Quiet street with a quick walk to the beach and to town. Jim is an excellent host. Appreciate the parking and the sense of safety as a woman traveling alone.

The host was very helpful and accommodating. We loved the patio water features and wind chimes, so relaxing. Location is great. It is super close to the beach and the village both within walking distance.

Friendly host, great location, well stocked, peaceful outdoor space

Jim was an amazing host. He was very friendly and helpful and also gave us a very sweet welcoming gift. The home is located in a wonderful spot, very walkable. We enjoyed a private outdoor fire in the attached yard and loved the outdoor oasis. We will definitely book this property with this great host again. Thanks Jim!

Jim was kind and welcoming. Location and property were perfect for my needs

This property was amazing. Wonderful location, within walking distance to the beach and several great restaurants. It had more than what we needed, when I say fully stocked kitchen, I mean it, all appliances, dishware, utensils, pots, pans, can opener, anything you would need. The host was very kind and communicative. This may seem small, but he supplied ample toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, etc. You could tell that he has gone out of his way to think of ways to make his guests comfortable. It felt like home. I did not want to leave! Overall great experience. Also, very pet friendly, there were dog bags everywhere, property was very safe for my small dog to be off leash in the yard. Very private, very safe. Also, had an electric car charger.

This property is absolutely wonderful! The location, privacy, cleanliness... it was all perfect. Jim was a pleasure to get to know!

Jim was great very responsive and place was awesome, true surf bungalow

Fantastic place to just crash for a few days!! Love the atmosphere of the property and walkability to down town.

Love the area, and this was a great find. A wonderful option to enjoy some time at the ocean and eat wonderful food.

Jim and his place are a Carlsbad gem. We are a couple with a dog and are grateful that dogs are allowed. We also really appreciated his thoughtful amenities like the EV charger, Carlsbad Alkaline water, hot outdoor shower the kitchen set up including a blender (we make a lot of smoothies). Jim also provides beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, bougie board, surf board, and towels)We also loved the enclosed outdoor space which seems like an extension of the indoor space. All the plants, trees, and fountains give the place a private Zen garden feel. Even though the street is just on the other side of the trees, there is almost no noise. Thanks Jim, we're already looking forward to coming back!

This place was so relaxing and had everything you needed. Perfect for my little furbabies as well. Felt comfortable for them and we felt safe leaving them for a couple of hours.

Very cool property by the beach with a great outdoor space. It was the perfect space and location for our weekend trip to Carlsbad.

Exceptional host along with beautiful inside and outside areas!!! This was my second time staying here and I already booked for next year!!!! The ocean is so close and stunning!!!! I highly recommend!!!

We met Jim when we were checking in, and he was super friendly, chatting with us for a bit. Everything was spotless and tidy. We were easily able to walk to and from downtown and the beach daily. Plus, the outdoor area was so peaceful, it was a real treat!

This was a perfect place to stay for us. We enjoyed walking to the beach and into town.The place was super clean and had everything you needed. Jim is a fantastic host, always asking if you need anything and ready to talk and give you ideas of restaurants or sights to see. Definitely will be returning!

Always a great experience!

We had a lovely stay at Jim’s property. The feelOf the house was great. When you walk around the house it feels more like you are staying at a friends house and not at a rental property. The walk to the beach was very easy and quick plus Jim had some beach supplies (wagon, chairs and umbrella). We really enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

The host was very accommodating to any of our request. The facility itself was very nice and was in a perfect location.

Perfect for a quiet get away. Very private and beautiful outdoor patio area. The location was ideal for a close walk to the beach, restaurants and shopping. Jim was a great host. We will be back!!

It was very Zen and Peaceful, the place was put together very well, it was comfortable safe and secure. We enjoyed our stay. Well equipped with all the comforts of home. Super close to the beach. Outside shower was really cool.Very accomidating. You cant go wrong with choosing this place. We would definitely rebook. Thanks Jim

4th time staying here. We love the yard and ability to bring a pet. Close to everything.

Gorgeous and comfortable enclosed patio area. Welcoming owner. Great location.

Great place. Dogs enjoyed the yard. Great location in carlsbad. Great communication fromjim, who goes out of his way to ensure his guests have a pleasant stay. Hope to be back!

Great location 2 blocks from the beach. Very nice place. Even has a Sparkletts water dispenser in the kitchen. Great yard with fire pit, fountains and tubular bells. Very serene. If I go to Carlsbad again alone or with my wife we’re staying here if it’s available.

This place was perfect! Everything my husband and I needed for a weekend away!

I have been going to Carlsbad for 15 plus years. This place was the BEST place we have ever stayed at hands down. The owner is on top of everything and the location and amazing courtyard put it over the top. You would be stupid not to select this place for your vacation.

What a wonderful place! Close to the restaurants and close to the beach. Everything is there in the home to make it a special time. What a gem!

I had my dog with me. I was visiting my daughter who lives in Carlsbad the location, and property were great. Jim the owner was friendly and helpful

This was an absolutely perfect place for our mini getaway! Such a peaceful retreat and fabulous location. We enjoyed going for walks by the beach and into the village. Jim made the visit so comfortable and easy. Can’t wait to visit again.

The zen feeling and beauty of the surroundings made our visit memorable. The home was very functional and comfortable. We’re planning our return retreat!

Our stay was wonderful. And Jim was very thoughtful with everything that he left as instructions in the place. A good surprise was a big screen for my husband to plug in his laptop so he could work and I enjoyed the Carlsbad water that he provided. thank you Jim. We had a great time.

Love this property anytime I want to stay by the beach. Perfect set up. Property is amazing w private closed in patio and outdoor shower, EV Charger etc perfect for dog.

Perfect getaway, super close to beach, restaurants, and shops. Clean, quiet, PRIVATE! Outdoor space, like a zen garden! Host is super helpful and accommodating. Loved it!

We had everything we needed to enjoy a great location next to the ocean and Carlsbad Village. Our host was friendly and accommodating.

Hands down, this is the best VRBO we've ever stayed at. As avid cooks, we prefer to dine in rather than eat out when vacationing, and this place was perfect for that. The owner provided everything we needed for cooking indoors, plus a BBQ in the yard. One of the amenities we loved was the filtered water in 5-gallon jugs. The amenities throughout the property exceeded our expectations, and we never had to make a store run for anything.When I first saw the photos online, I assumed the yard images were for the entire property, but they were actually for our unit. The residence and yard were incredibly private and relaxing. We even had a delightful chat with the owner one evening about the property's history and his special connection to it. If you love immersing yourself in the local culture, this property, with its proximity to the beach and the owner’s passion for surfing, offers a truly enriching experience.

Perfect place to stay close to the beach, coffee, restaurants and shopping. Big thanks to the amazing host. We will definitely be back!

Near to the beach, owner is on-site and super helpful, beautiful patio area with 2 fountains and wind chimes … weather was the only issue.

This was my very best VRBO experience ever!!! Love the home, walking distance to fine dining & the beach for spectacular sunsets! The owner was SO amazing!!! True friend! I’ll be back to this very special place.

Exactly as pictured; quant, secluded, very cute and perfect for my family of 3. Outdoor patio has fire pit, water features and wind chimes for ambiance. Just a few blocks from the beach and plenty to walk to re: cafes, restaurants, shopping. Host is extremely communicative and kind. Will stay again!

Very clean and charming!

Surfer vibe vrbo that is close to the beach and restaurants. Board and Brew has delicious sandwiches and is a 5 minute walk. The patio is really nice. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

This was perfect for a little surf retreat with my best friend. Great host!

We really enjoyed our weekend here. Owner was able to accomodate our early check-in which really helped us for a late Friday PM wedding. Great little town.

Staying here is so amazing, my husband and I have spent our last two anniversaries here now. The location is very convenient and walking distance to the top restaurants and bars and of course, the beach. Jim is a great host and is very communicative; it is clear he cares about his guests.

We were looking for the perfect place to stay near the beach in Carlsbad and found it!! The space inside and out is stunning with a large outdoor oasis where 2 large fountains provide constant calm. Jim the host is exceptional!!

Location rules! Walk to good surf, walk to stores, restaurants, beach, all the village has to offer. Jim is as good as I gets to host! Great guy and great property.

Ali and I loved our stay here. The vibe is just eclectic and amazing. We loved the fully stocked kitchen, not fancy, but had everything. The outdoor space is just fantastic, amazing seashore murals, very planted and private, super cool lighting, two hue fountains, fabulous fire pit with wood included! Host is a true heart. Location is perfect. This place is a brilliant find and an absolute bargain!

This was an ideal property that matched our hopes perfectly! The owner was beyond helpful, friendly, and it was obvious he wanted to share his love for his hometown with us! It was walking distance from the beach, the boardwalk and restaurants. It was supplied with everything we could have needed, and, we loved the cozy patio area when friends visited. We plan on returning for sure!
