We had a wonderful stay in La Costa! There was a bit of work going on in the building but the owner was very responsive and kept us up to date at all times. The disruption ended up being minor and we felt very well taken care of. The unit sits just inside the gates of the beautiful La Costa resort and a great location to walk the whole area. This condo is very nicely decorated and well appointed. We even had space for my son to stay in his own area on a nice open up sofa and used the washer and dryer for our beach towels. It is ideal for a couple but can accommodate a family. Really nice kitchen for cooking and a lovely outdoor space. Perfect long weekend. We hope to go back again soon!

I had an amazing stay at this VRBO in Carlsbad! I was in town for a conference, and the location was perfect—within walking distance of everything I needed. The place was well-maintained, and had all the comforts of home. The host was great, making the entire experience seamless. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Carlsbad!

Clean w/Comfy Bed

We visited Carlsbad for a long weekend to be with family and to celebrate my uncle’s 100th birthday. Highest priority for us is clean unit and comfy beds - this checked both boxes. We enjoyed our stay and appreciate owner’s quick response to a minor incident. She is readily available to assist and we appreciated that. Great place to stay. We highly recommend.

Wonderful experience from start to finish. Great communication and instructions with check in and check out. The condo is furnished so nicely and comfortable as well as impeccably clean! Huge bathroom and really really comfortable bed. Everything you need is stocked and available. Beautiful grounds with a quiet pool in the back. Keep in mind, It is on the ground floor situated right next to the main door of the building looking out to the parking spaces and entrance road. It’s not the quietest location. We struggled a bit with the noise of people and workers going in and out of the building. The door slammed each and every time someone went in and out. They were doing some cleaning and painting of the entrance outside for a couple of the days we were there which is right next to the patio and sliding patio doors. So that starting at 7am with music playing while they worked was a disturbance to us. If you want a place that is going to be very quiet than this may not be the place just because so close to the main entrance/lobby. With that said, I do feel like the price per night reflects that.

A fabulous 10 day stay away from home.

Property was excellent and exceeded our expectations. Bed comfortable, kitchen and bathrooms well stocked. Location was perfect for us to play golf and visit all the sites in all the beach cities and downtown San Diego and specifically the Gaslamp District. Overall a wonderful stay in a well equipped and well appointed condo with all the conveniences of home. Excellent!! Paul & Eileen

Great stay!

We spent a month in this condo and found it to be one of the nicest in our frequent travels. It was very well stocked, clean and comfortable. The shower was the best we’ve ever had and the bed was comfortable. The location was near any number of shops and restaurants and close enough to make visiting San Diego a breeze. The only thing that wasn’t ideal was some noise from the elevator or condo above that woke my husband who’s a very light sleeper . Michelle was excellent at communicating and helpfulness. We would definitely stay here again

Safe Haven

Michelle was a great host. The property was immaculate and clean. We felt safe on the property. I even took walks each day. The rental was only an hour from Disney. We left around 6:30am and didn’t even hit traffic. We stopped by Laguna Beach on the way home, which was beautiful. Unfortunately, it was too chilly to swim, but we did get a semi warm beach day at Carlsbad Beach. There’s quite a bit to do there and in Encinitas. We highly recommend Casa de Bandini for Mexican food. It was delicious.
