Stayed Jun 1, 2026Everything went so well and we loved the home! The decor was beautiful, the beds and linens were clean and comfortable and the kitchen was very well appointed. The host was super responsive to messages. The location was more than convenient—who else can walk to the beach several times a day just for the views! It was also a fairly easy walk to Carlsbad Village for food and cold drinks. Board and Brews is the best place to get a sandwich. The backyard was incredible, with so many large trees and shrubs and comfortable chairs to relax in. I loved the quaint bungalow and am already missing Carlsbad. We had everything we needed for a wonderful stay!

Stayed May 9, 2026We had such an amazing stay at this property and Alex was a wonderful host. Very quick with communication- when needed. I had some hesitation about the upstairs renter but leaned on the other reviews and they were right. This person seriously must be one of the quietest people ever. I only knew they were there when a car appeared in the driveway. The house is CLEAN. it’s a super cute beach house and I hope people realize how special it is. It’s an old house (with beautiful floors!!!). Full of old house quirks (lots of switches for instance) that make it really cool. The backyard is ah-mazing. So beautiful. We didn’t use the hot tub so can’t speak to that. The house is very close to the beach. Alex has a storage shed full of chairs and Boogie boards to use. There is also a cart to help take things to the beach. We cooked in for several meals and the kitchen is well stocked. He also makes sure you have plenty of all kinds of towels, trash bags and toilet paper. The house is right on a very Main Street but overall it’s pretty quiet when you are inside. There is a train that goes by frequently and you can hear it. It didn’t keep us up at all but if you are a super sensitive sleeper this would be something to consider. Overall, we loved it and wouldn’t hesitate to come back again!

Stayed Dec 21, 2025Great location, 2 minute walk to beach. Tamarack is a busy road and there is some noise from upstairs tenant and the train. Kitchen is well stocked to make meals. Yard is wonderful for people and pets. Alex and Alexander are helpful and responsive. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Stayed Nov 7, 2025My friends and I stayed here to celebrate my sister’s 40th birthday weekend and loved it! The house was exceptionally clean, beds were SO comfortable, and the backyard is a dream! So much so that we had a sound healer come and host a sound bath in the backyard before we checked out - what a wonderful way to wrap up a relaxing weekend. We greatly appreciate the host’s responsiveness and flexibility with allowing us to have a sound bath and truly enjoy the space. We will be back! FYSA there is a tenant upstairs but we didn’t hear a peep from them or see them even once - do not let that steer you from this wonderful home! Highly recommend!

Stayed Sep 8, 2025What a super house, the best VRBO we’ve stayed in! Very clean and well furnished, the primary bed was so comfortable and the room was nice and quiet. There was plenty of space to spread out and a well stocked kitchen. The host provided everything we needed and then some! The backyard was like a tropical paradise, so many beautiful plants and flowers, very private. The beach was a block and a half away and there was everything you need for a day at there, beach towels, chairs, umbrella, toys and a handy caddy to take everything there. A wonderful place to stay in Carlsbad.

Stayed Aug 10, 2025Roomy, nicely appointed, comfortable for a family. The kitchen was well-equipped as was the beach shed. The backyard was a real plus, with shade, hammock and hot tub. The TV’s all had premium streaming channels. The beach is a short 1-12/ blocks away. The house was quiet, as it was not right on noisy Carlsbad Blvd. Everyone in my family wants to come back next year.

Stayed Jun 23, 2025We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home, it was an easy 5min walk to the beach and a beautiful 15 minute walk to all kinds of restaurants! The AC was an added luxury for those warm afternoons and the tree covered backyard was a gorgeous retreat for our coffee mornings! The house was extremely clean and well laid out, it had everything we needed. The host was fantastic, he was attentive, courteous and fixed a few minor issue with in 20min of our arrival!! The only thing I would let anyone know who is renting this beautiful home is that the grill is not gas, It is charcoal, which was a new experience for us:) A huge added bonus was all of the sand accessories provided ….beach chairs, boogie boards, a few sand toys, and a cart to haul them all down to the beach. This was such an incredible luxury for us! We will be staying again soon !!

Stayed May 27, 2025The home is in the perfect location we rode our bikes down to the beach multiple times a day! only 2 min bike ride, 5 min walk just a few blocks away! they have all the beach gear you need. The house was very clean upon arrival and stocked with everything!We tracked with two children and it was very spacious had high chair and pack and okay accommodations. The backyard is the most beautiful oasis and we enjoyed relaxing in the horrible every night! The host was very accommodating and great at communicating as well as organized and had so many wonderful recommendations for restaurants and things to do! We have stayed in many VRBOs and this was by far our best experience! the train is loud but that's everywhere if you are staying close to the ocean. bring sound machine ear plugs etc to help. It didn't bother us much. Wouldn't change a thing. such a wonderful experience! can't wait to come back!

Stayed Oct 26, 2024Was looking for a nice, relaxing, place to stay near a beach for a weekend to destress from life. Alex’s place is by far the nicest VRBO I have ever stayed in. The backyard is an oasis, the house is SOOO nice, clean, love the layout. Brought my puppy along who equally loved the place as well especially the gorgeous backyard. I will absolutely be looking to book this place again! Thank you again Alex, wouldn’t change a thing =D

Stayed Oct 16, 2024Tamarack beach house was exactly as described in the listing. As noted by other guests, the backyard was fabulous: spacious, lush and very private. The rental was just a short walk to the beach, immaculate, with plush amenities, comfy beds, and a very well-equipped kitchen. The host was very attentive, but not at all intrusive. Hope to return!

Stayed Oct 6, 2024We had a wonderful stay Alex was great. His instructions were spot on. The home had lots of space for our entire family. There were six of us two dogs. The backyard worked out great for them. The spa was a delight after coming back from the beach. Make sure you clean your feet and all sand off and then it works out great. We stayed a week and it was awesome. Actually we probably will be back next year.. We couldn’t ask for anything else the home worked out great. We will be back. Oct. 6 thru 13 2024.
