*Beach Break* Oceanfront/Balcony/Walk Everywhere

PeterRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Bart and Debra’s place was awesome! The place feels like you’re at a Disneyland hotel. The gardens are breathtaking, the pool was as good if not better than the beach itself. Restaurants are a one minute drive. The unit itself was super-clean and the parking is right next to the elevator which can be difficult in other units at this location. That was the BIG win for us. Would definitely return!

#3, Ocean Front Studio by the Beach in Carlsbad

VickieRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We loved being so close to the beach and so close to Carlsbad Village; once we parked our car we walked everywhere. So nice to have designated parking, too. The place was very nice, queen bed super comfortable. The pullout bed was not as comfortable, but after layering the sofa seat cushions on the 2nd night it was much better. Everything was very clean, the kitchen was fully stocked, bedding and towels were high quality. We would definitely choose this unit again. We found it remarkably quiet despite being so close to everything. The team at Sea Breeze is VERY responsive, but even with that we had a couple of questions that never got answered. That did not impact our enjoyment. We walked to State Street and had an amazing breakfast at Wildland followed by some good boutique shopping, then ice cream at Handels; a great rooftop dinner during happy hour at Fresco, and the rest of the time we stayed right on our deck or on the beach at Sea Breeze. Can’t wait to do it again!

Hottest Neighborhood! Walk to Beach!

KrystaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Great apartment in a prime location. Had everything we needed and coming and going was easy - very nice to not have to carry around keys. Only real complaint was that there was no functioning sliding door on the balcony, so it wasn’t accessible, but not that big of a deal. Other than that, great visit and will definitely be back and hopefully it will be fixed. Definitely recommend!

Beachfront Luxury Vacation Condo in Oceanside

GauthamRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We stayed at Paul’s place over the spring break-LEGOLAND trip, family of four with two young kids. The apartment matched the description and was fully stocked. The beach toys , chairs, towels were an added bonus though it was cold when we stays and not much getting in the ocean. It’s close to the downtown and shops. We loved our stay. As other reviewer had mentioned the warping of the doors were a minor annoyance which we had to help kids close bathroom doors. Would recommend Paul’s place for anyone looking for a place in Oceanside - Carlsbad area.

Writers' Cottage - AC,Pets OK, Close to everything

JessicaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Kamilo was super kind, accommodating, and attentive. This little cottage was stocked with all the things we could ever possibly need. The garden path to the cottage and backyard were adorable! We brought our dog and she enjoyed the backyard as well. They even had a bottle of wine waiting on the table as well as some fruit grown by them. It was my first time ever trying a loquat!! The neighborhood was quiet, cute, and safe. We took our dog out for walks in the morning with no worries. The beach is also a quick drive. Everything was great and I would definitely come again.

Modern Coastal Farmhouse - steps to the beach

SerenaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
A 5 Star Family Adventure to Carlsbad! Mimi and Hank's sweet house, is situated just a few steps from the Beach, which our grandkids loved. Legoland is also about a 10 minute drive away, which was the main reason why we went to Carlsbad with our son and his family. The location is wonderful; close to grocery stores and good eateries. The grandkids are already asking to return next year! Thank-you, Mimi and Hank for helping us create wonderful memories and for your warm hospitality!

NEW Steps to Sand Cozy 2 Bdrm for 6 w/office area

GeoffRating, 5 stars2 days ago
I almost don’t want to leave a review because I want to keep this place to myself… however I can’t not mention how amazing this place is. What a beautiful home with an unbelievable location! We will come back to this place every time we visit Mission Beach if we get the chance. Home is laid out well with 2 beds 1 bath, very comfortable beds despite being smaller, and nice to have private parking regardless of how tight the lot is. They warn you very well how tight the parking is, but we drove 2 half ton trucks and parked one in the lot and one on the street nearby. Very easy. Very easy to communicate with Cheyann and Rodney. Would recommend to anyone!

Ocean View - Ultimate Beach Adventure!

CandiceRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The proximity to the beach is really the best part of the house. Being steps to the beach made daily walks along the water and shell searching with kids my favorite part of our trip. House was very clean and felt safe. House is well stocked for cooking, bring your own condiments if you plan on a longer stay. Hosts were very responsive. Finding the house was a little difficult as the garage is on a different street but we quickly figured it out. Would definitely stay here again.

Bungalow w Hot Tub-Sauna-Cold Plunge

KristinRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was our second time staying in Paul & Amy's Carlsbad cottage and it proved once again to be a quiet and comfortable nest during our travels. Bright, airy, well-designed and super comfortable with a fantastic patio and backyard for winding down—addition of a fire pit made for a really relaxing evening. Centrally located with lots to do around, this is the perfect spot for small families and solo travelers wanting a bit of a break from the touristy options. Paul is very communicative and helpful, even sending over video instructions how to work the sauna and fire pit upon arrival— Highly recommend and will return again!

Private Getaway w Pool/BBQ/Firepit Large Backyard

SavinoRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We booked Suan and Jessica's place for Easter weekend. We had planned a trip to the Flower Gardens and Legoland in Carlsbad, both of which were less than 20 minutes away from where we were staying. Not only was the place conveniently located, it offered us a spot to enjoy our family's company and dedicate our time to our grandaughter. We barbecued, watched movies, swam in swimming pool, did our own arts and crafts, etc. We had an overall amazing time at a reasonable price without the chaos and limitations of booking a hotel room. We would definitely book this place in the future if we are in the area.

HollieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I love that the kitchen was very well stocked! If you like to cook it’s great! The backyard was beautiful my kids loved the resort feel. We visited for a graduation for my nephew from the Marines boot camp. The location was about 20-25 minutes from base which was so easy because you’re close to the freeway! The house was perfect for our stay! The box truck in the front yard was a throw off when we arrived but once inside you didn’t notice it was there. The house is very cute and full of everything you need to have a great stay! Thank you Brian for being a great host!
