About this property

Ultimate Beach House for Your Next Vacay~50 feet from the Beach!!

Our house is beachfront in Carlsbad village with beautiful views of the waves from the large balcony on the top floor. Spacious open style living area with modern kitchen, dining room, family room, and 2 large Master bedrooms with bathrooms, each with a super comfy king size bed. A third "add-on" bedroom is accessed through the upstairs Master bedroom, but does have its own doors for privacy, windows for natural light, and a trundle bed with two twin mattresses. One of the main bedrooms also has a queen sleeper sofa and a work area (desk and chair) with lots of natural light. 5-burner BBQ in our private backyard. The house is only a few minutes walk (a few blocks) to the adorable Carlsbad Village. We have 4 adult bikes, 1 child size bike, plus boogie boards, chairs, umbrella, and toys - everything you need for a fun day at the beach. We have a 2-car garage (doesn’t fit a Suburban, but we have space in the driveway for a large car). Bathrooms are showers (no tubs) and were remodeled in Jan. 2025. Fully stocked with towels and bath products. Kitchen is clean and fully stocked with all kitchen necessities provided for your cooking ease. Three 55-inch smart flat screen TVs. The private backyard is fully enclosed for extra space to relax, cook on the BBQ, or let kids run around safely. Private front door and garage door entrances ensure social distancing safety. The view of the ocean is priceless! Our house is a great choice for your next vacation and we look forward to hosting you!

Perfect Getaway!

What a wonderful property that is well maintained and thoughtful in all aspects making you feel home away from home! The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen stocked with everything you need. The location is unbeatable as well; a short walk to beach.

Beautiful beach house, in a wonderful location! This house is directly across the street from the beach, and also walking distance to all of the great restaurants and shops in Carlsbad village. My family of 6 adults stayed here, and we had plenty of space for everyone. We loved using all of the beach gear provided in the garage, and had so much fun riding the bikes into town every day to shop. Mike was a wonderful host and responded right away to any questions we had. We love Carlsbad, and would absolutely love to book this house again if we return.

Mike and Janice have a wonderful place, directly across the street from the Ocean. The configuration of the rooms allowed us to look at the ocean all day from the living room, kitchen and dining room. The bedrooms were in the back of the house and thus very quiet and cool. The bathrooms are newer than the photos and extremely well done. We also appreciated the access to all of the beach equipment: chairs, umbrellas, beach towels and blankets, and a bunch of other stuff we didn't get to such as bikes, boogie boards, etc. We appreciated having screens on almost all of the windows, which allowed us to get good cross ventilation from the front to the back of the house. WIFI was excellent for work, streaming, and videogaming on a laptop. We would definitely stay here again.

Great stay at the beach house..The location was awesome right across the street from a beautiful, not crowded, beach. The home had plenty of space for two little boys and four adults to enjoy the home equally. Awesome experience...would definitely stay again.

Breathtaking View

This property definitely lives up to the description and images! Our family spent time on the balcony enjoying the view, walking the beach in search of shells, visiting Legoland (recently opened with limited capacity), and visiting the Carlsbad Flower Fields! We dined at Campfire and Vigilucci's, both were within walking distance from house and delicious. The home was well equipped and we found everything we needed! Thx to the owners for sharing their lovely beach house!

Wonderful stay, lovely, large and comfortable condo that was well stocked for our stay (needed scissors & tape and they were there- so nice). Coffee, sugar & creamer stocked. Nice bottle of wine to greet us. Made it easier to get settled and enjoy!Third bedroom is a separated space in the larger bedroom. Comfortable & served its purpose. Beds were comfy & we slept very well. Lovely ocean view from the deck - great at sunset. Easy walk down to the beach. Not the fault of the unit or owners but the traffic is quite loud so hard to enjoy the ocean sounds from the unit. Easily resolved by walking across the street & down the stairs, we didn’t use the bikes or beach gear but there was plenty of it so maybe next time! Garage has 2 sides with a post in the middle. Tesla 3 fit and the driveway space fit my kids trucks side by side (Tacoma and 4-runner) without blocking neighbors or feeling crowded. Absolutely will return. Hosts were kind & responsive - no complaints at all.

Good Beach Stay Needing a Little Love

This VRBO was in a good location (good sunsets and short walk to downtown Carlsbad) with comfy beds / blankets and good amenities (kitchen supplies). Communication with the property manager was very good as well. Our group was disappointed in the condition of the home which needs some reno (stained carpets, stained couch, outdated bathroom, mirrored living room walls, offset knobs on the stove, dirty baseboards, etc). Might be good for a group of surfers but we wouldn't return to this location since it's outdated.

Small birthday party wonderland

This property had a wonderful setup for a private birthday party. We celebrated a milestone birthday for my wife and this was the perfect location. The view from the balcony and sounds of the ocean late and night / early in the morning was phenomenal. The community was quiet and calm, even traffic was quiet. The rooms were spacious, the third bonus room is a room within the uppermost bedroom. There was just an abundance of space, we were overwhelmingly pleased. Thank you.

Great getaway to the beach

This place has pretty much everything you need and more! First of all, communication with the host was quick and easy. The place was clean, well maintained, well stocked and nicely decorated. Great book and game selection too. Great location right across from the beach and so many beach supplies. I would book this place again in a heartbeat. The only thing I would mention is that the “add-on” is more like a sun room off of one of the bedrooms. It worked for us bc we just put all the kids in there, but may not be the best option if you need 3 actual separate bedrooms.
