The hosts were incredibly helpful, they even asked if we were visiting for a special occasion, and curated a wonderful gift basket full of games and treats. The house itself is amazing, the children enjoyed the playroom as much as the pool. There was plenty of space for everyone and so many things to do.

We had the loveliest time at this property. It looks just like the photos, the views are beautiful, and the property is a little piece of paradise. Barbara, the owner, was so easy to communicate with, and she had everything dialed in for our stay. It was a really special weekend for our family to all be together for our youngest son's college graduation. We will definitely be back!!

This was perfect for my sons 7th birthday. The home was fabulous, it was better than the pictures! It even had a toy/book/art room which our 3,5,& 7 year olds loved and were in there everyday. The rooms were all very spacious with great bathrooms. The Kitchen was beyond well stocked, including sticks for cooking marshmallows for Smores. The pool and spa were both very clean and we paid the extra for the heating which made it very nice. The private beach was especially nice with the paddle boards and kayaks. The home was very close to a grocery store which was nice if you forgot something. Whenever we have used VRBO the owners or managers really are what can make an enjoyable experience exceptional. In this case, beyond exceptional and a 10/10. We were coming for our sons birthday and they surprised us with a birthday gift basket on our arrival! It was stocked with bubble toys, wine, and all types of treats plus supplies for smores. We had a few questions and Cierra was ALWAYS very quick with responses to tall of our questions. ( thank you Cierra). The check our was the easiest I have ever had . We hope to make this a regular destination

Great vacation home

We visited Carlsbad with 14 family members for my father in laws birthday, and this house was great! Kids enjoyed paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming and playing pool. More than enough space and we never felt crowded. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking and enjoying family meals. Property manager was easily available if I had questions. Thanks you for a wonderful stay!

The perfect beach getaway!

This house is gorgeous and everything you could ever want when staying at the beach. You never have to leave! It was beach front access, which is great for the kiddos to play and the adults to relax. The pool overlooks the water and it perfect if you don’t want to go in the ocean. It also includes all the amenities, such as coffee, all the kitchen supplies you could ever need, extra towels, and games. The host are amazing, extremely responsive, and even left a sweet gift basket. We are very happy with our stay and can’t wait to go back!

Epic house!!

Stayed here with 12 people and we had the best time. They have literally everything you could ever want! We had an infant (1.5yrs old) with us and the house was loaded with baby gear. The play room was perfect and the kiddos spent all day in the heated pool and on the beach. If I could give this house 6 stars I would! Plenty of room for 12.

Carlsbad villa

Perfect spot for our family vacation. 11 adults fit comfortably in this spacious, well-equipped house. We were a little worried the nearby freeway sound would bother us, but it really didn’t. The house has everything (it could stand a little maintenance on a few things, but generally most everything was functional). Loved the private beach, the pool and the spa. Great location near enough to town (and thus groceries) but also feels like you’re away on your own on the lagoon. Would stay here again (and we weathered an actual hurricane!).

Spectacular property! The accommodations were incredible! The house is equipped with everything you need and Bruce and Barbara left us a greeting basket of toys, snacks and wine. Everything was above and beyond what we expected! Plenty of activities and restaurants close by to keep everyone happy. We had five kids between the ages of 15 and 17 and seven adults up to the age of 75. Can't wait to return next year. Thank you Bruce and Barbara for being such gracious hosts!

60th Anniversary Celebration

Our family came together to celebrate my parents 60th anniversary and this house had something for everyone! We had three generations (ages 22-84) in our party and everyone could find something to do. The pool and jacuzzi were a big hits as were all the water toys. The house is very spacious with lots of room for family meals together as well as quiet time to read. Thanks so much to the hosts for everything they did to make this a special vacation for my parents. We would definitely come back.

our stay

The house was beautiful, clean and well equipped but there were some minor issues: The smoke detector in the main floor was missing, Several windows in the master bedroom on the main floor were broken and fell out of the frames when we tried to open them and there should be some type of railing on the bottom floor deck to prevent someone from falling in to the pool. It would have been nice to know there was construction going on next door. Otherwise it was terrific!

Response from VrboOwner on 10 July 2025
Hi Steve, The smoke detectors were upgraded when we put in a ADT security system. The old one was removed. I am aware of one window in the master that needs new springs which I ordered last week. Sorry about that. A rail is a good idea, I just don’t want to take away from the view. The construction is out of my control and was supposed to be done months ago. It looks like they will finish in a couple weeks.

Fantastic Vacation Home

Villa Bahia is an amazing home! It was a perfect spot for our family vacation with 10 adults and 4 grandchildren ages ranging from 1-75. The home is very comfortable and well stocked with everything you'll need. A grocery store is conveniently located in about a 5 minute drive. There's plenty of beach towels, pool toys, beach toys, games, and a playroom with lots of fun toys and books for the littles. The owners were great to deal with and always responded quickly to our questions. We were surprised by the very generous gift basket that was left for us on the kitchen island. Thank you so much, it was such a kind gesture to kick off our week and it was enjoyed by all. We can't say enough about how fabulous this home is, our week was perfect in every way! Tom and Terri

Amazing stay

This house was simply incredible. It was very spacious and accommodating. The hosts were quite communicative and helpful. The kitchen (and amenities) and common areas were so large and comfortable - we ordered a personal chef one night and he was in heaven! The private beach with kayaks and paddleboards were just wonderful and so inviting. The hot tub was great! The only room for improvement I would say is that we were told the pool would be heated to 82 degrees and it was definitely in the low 70s. When I requested it to be heated more, it never seemed to get to a comfortable temperature (it was 60-65 degrees out when we visited in February). Also, strangely, the hot tube drained halfway each evening, which made for night-time dips to be significantly less enjoyable. Otherwise a supremely wonderful stay and would very highly recommend this property!
