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 new hardwood flooring, modern kitchen, dining room, family room, and 2 large Master bedrooms with newly renovated 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 5 adult bikes, 1 child size bike, plus boogie boards, surf 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 walk-in 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!

We had a wonderful stay at this home. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need and we slept the best we’ve ever slept at a vacation rental! A little bummed about the construction right in front but that didn’t ruin our trip and we know these things happen and are necessary for upkeep in the area. We saw lots of marine life while enjoying our coffee on the patio. That was definitely my favorite spot. Beautiful space!

This was easily one of the best stays we've had. The place was spotless from the moment we walked in, and it had absolutely everything we needed, we didn't have to worry about a thing. The location was perfect too, walking distance to everything Carlsbad has to offer.What really set this apart was the host. Communication was quick, responsive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. You can tell they take pride in the experience they provide, and it shows in every detail.We'll definitely be back. If you're looking for a place in Carlsbad, don't hesitate to check this out.

We had a perfect stay from every perspective. The home was immaculate, thoughtfully and thoroughly outfitted; the amazing location was across the road from the wonderful, clean, walkable beach, and also a few minutes' walk from the charming downtown. Our host Mike responded to our questions promptly. We would return in a heartbeat!

The Hess Beach House is a wonderful place to stay. (Our stay was 1 week.) The view of the Pacific Ocean is spectacular from the deck. Watch surfers from morning to night, and catch a beautiful sunset. The house is only a few steps from a beautiful beach. The house is stocked with everythng needed for the beach - chairs, boogie board, surf board, wagon, etc. There are over 5 bikes to go for a ride on the bike path right in front of the house. The quaint Carlsbad downtown area is a short walk away. The host was extremely responsive to all my messages. Finally, the interior of the house was very accomodating for 4 adults. We really liked this rental; I highly recommend it for anyone wanting a beachfront poperty in Southern California.
