    We all loved your little house it was cozy, comfortable very welcoming. We loved the beach access sitting in on the porch listening to waves. We all had enough room no one felt crowded. We loved that we could walk into the accessibility to everything was great.

    The house and yard were great for our stay. The kids loved running around the yard. The beach was across the street and great restaurants a short walk away. Nice fans for every room - which were needed and worked well. The only down side was one of our nights the smoke alarms went off at 10pm (unpredictable of course) It quite took awhile to resolve the issue, but managements response was quick and appreciated.

    Cute bungalow style home, perfect location for beach, town, and other day trips. Location on a Main Street along the shore means traffic noise well into the night. House was well equipped for vacationing aand

    Great stay and location. The only thing I would suggest is to have more seating in the living room. Maybe another small couch.

    Our family of 7 had a great time. This property was perfect for us. It’s our second time staying here. The kitchen was well stocked if you want to cook your own meals. There were plenty of beach towels, chairs and umbrellas for going to the beach! The host Cheryl was very attentive if we had any questions.The yard was big and had plenty of sitting for everyone. There is so much to do in the Carlsbad area. You can’t go wrong with this property or the location.

    Location could not be more perfect, directly across the street from the beach and walking distance to lots of shops and restaurants. House is as described and the property manger was very responsive.

    We loved the house and loved the location even more. The bathrooms were a touch on the small side but we spent most days out and about so we hardly noticed. We could easily walk to town and would spend many mornings walking the path along the beach with the locals. Carlsbad, Cardiff, and Del Mar are much more relaxing and pleasant places to stay than San Diego. We’d definitely stay here again.

    This house was in excellent condition and cleanliness. We have never rented a home with a better equipped kitchen. The fenced in yard was perfect safety and freedom for our two dogs. Easy walking access to beach and Carlsbad Village.

    This property is so warm and cozy. We enjoyed listening to the ocean every morning from the front porch. There are many restaurants to choose from and an easy walk into Carlsbad village. Cheryl was a gracious host and easy to communicate with. We will definitely be back.

    House was located across the street from Frazee beach. Walking distance to restaurants, bars, coffee shops and convenience store. The property had chairs, a beach umbrella, cooler, and boogie boards for guest to use. Outside of the home was a propane fire pit with adequate seating great for watching the sunset. I would book this home again for my family.
