About this property

Heart of Carlsbad Village, Too Walk Everywhere! Luxurious and Private.

Luxury • Location • Comfort — Right in the Heart of Carlsbad Village

The combination of location, convenience, and luxury is hard to match. Heart of Carlsbad Village, Too sits in the Village itself, just one block from the beach where the upper and lower boardwalks begin. You’ll find beach bathrooms, an access ramp, and a manned lifeguard tower in summer — all just steps from your door. Surrounded by amazing restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques, guests often park in the private two-car garage and never use their car again.

Newly constructed and beautifully furnished, this residence offers the quality and comfort of a five-star coastal hotel with the warmth of home. With 3,000 square feet of living space, it features four spacious bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a gourmet chef’s kitchen, and an inviting open-concept layout perfect for gathering and entertaining.

The living area includes two cozy sectionals, fireplace, and wide sliding doors that fill the space with ocean air. Two dining areas make it ideal for families and friends — a large banquet-style table for shared meals and a high-top table with bar and bar stool seating overlooking the kitchen. The kitchen itself is a dream, packed with dishes, bowls, pans, waffle iron and kitchen tools, a six-burner range, double ovens, and ample counter space for cooking, serving, or sipping wine together.

Each bedroom offers a king-size bed with plush linens, ensuring a restful night’s sleep for everyone. The primary suite is nearly 800 square feet, facing west with ocean breezes and peek-a-boo views. It features a luxurious spa-style bathroom with soaking tub, glass shower, dual vanities, makeup counter, and private water closet. A spiral staircase from the master deck leads to a private 12x12 rooftop sun deck with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and Carlsbad Village.

Families will love the thoughtful extras: baby gates, a high chair, Pack ’n Play, and plenty of board games, puzzles, and toys. For beach days, the garage is stocked with chairs, towels, umbrellas, sand toys, and a wagon to roll everything easily to the beach.

After a day in the sun, enjoy cool central A/C, gather for a sunset dinner on the patio, or stroll the Village for ice cream and live music.

For larger groups or family reunions, our identical property next door — “Heart of the Village, Too!” (Vrbo #288076) — can be rented together for double the space and shared memories.

Built with attention to detail, quality, and comfort, Heart of Carlsbad Village, Too offers everything you love about the coast — luxury, location, and that effortless Carlsbad charm.

Your perfect Village getaway awaits.

Lovely property in perfect location.

This beautiful townhouse feels like your rich Italian grandmother's pied de terre. the stone and mArble and dArk wood transport you to Rome - and then you walk outside and it's bright sunny bustling Carlsbad beach town in summer. We loved the contrast and the terrific quiet inside Kimmy's home. the beds were my favorite part: big and solid and with the softest sheets and lovely linens. we had everything to cook 3 meals a day, secure enclosed parking, tons of hot water, and space for privacy that's so rare in a beach rental. The outdoor space is small, it's a townhouse, but we enjoyed meals there on the 4-top table and had a view of the moon and stars. you're so close to the park above the. beach, it's no big deal to walk up there to watch the sunset. Kimmy was great about everything and we are so grateful for her hospitality.

Great location with easy walking distances to the beach, eateries and bars. Many golf courses within close driving proximity.

Great location!

This rental worked very well for us. It’s a great location for walks to the beach, shopping or restaurants. All was clean, well stocked and in good working order. It was just the two of us but the home is huge and seems well suited families. Would consider staying again on our next trip to Carlsbad.

Great location and everything you need!

This condo had everything our family of eight needed. Lots of beach toys, beach towels, wagon, umbrellas. The kitchen was well stocked, and the host did not skimp on paper towels, toilet paper, etc. It was very roomy and the king size beds were very comfortable. It was quiet, but very close to the beach and also downtown. We walked everywhere, which we loved. We’ve already made a reservation for next year!

Excellent location for family reunion!

The property was so perfect for our gathering! There was plenty of room in the spacious bedrooms, living room and kitchen. Everything was so clean and comfy. The hostess was welcoming in her communication with me before and during our stay. She was easy to contact and wanted everything to be perfect for us. Laundry detergent, bathroom soap and paper products were supplied as well as many misc dishes, pots and pans and kitchen utensils. It was within walking distance of the beach, restaurants and shops.

Amazing place

We loved this property. It is very spacious in the main dining room/kitchen and accommodating. The garage fits two SUVs very easy and they offered a bunch of useful beach gear like chairs, umbrellas, toys, and boogie boards. Checking in with Kimmy was super easy and she was helpful, even when I had a simple question at 10p. She responded very quickly and was accommodating. A true 5star rating IMO. Thanks Kimmy!!

Absolutely a beautiful place to stay. The kitchen/living area could not have been better.

Beautiful accommodations in a prime location

We really enjoyed staying here! Great location to walk to restaurants and the beach just 3 blocks away. Easy to get in and out of the garage. Well stocked kitchen, plenty of towels, beach toys for the kids. Perfect set up for entertaining and cooking in the main level of the house. It really is a beautiful, well-laid out place. All rooms had king-sized beds which was really a treat for all! We're from Seattle so my only recommendation would be a new coffee maker or Keurig machine but this was a minor thing as Starbucks is only a few blocks away.

About the host

Hosted by Kimmy Terrell

Host profile image
Hi! We've lived in Carlsbad for 30 years now. If you've never traveled here... you're going to LOVE it. My Husband and I stay active with all that the coastal lifestyle has to offer. We cherish the coast and our village. There is so much to do...whether it's biking, walking, running, surfing, biking, swimming or building sand castles we all have different interests along with others we enjoy as a family.

Why they chose this property

Originally in California beginning in the 1950's we feel Carlsbad and specifically Carlsbad Village is the nicest beach town along the entire Coast line, primarily because of the beautiful year round weather, very close access to the Oceans and our miles of amazing sandy beaches, good surfing and the large variety of shops and restaurants that Carlsbad Village has to offer. It has everything we've ever hoped for in a coastal community...we absolutely love it here.

What makes this property unique

the combination of location, convenience and luxury is hard to beat. Were located in Carlsbad Village 1 short block to the main Village area with many different restaurants and shops and a little over a block from the beach posted in the pictures, which is where both the upper and lower beach boardwalks begin and there's a nice access ramp, beach bathrooms and also a manned lifeguard tower in the summer months. Newly constructed and furnished, this is one of the nicest condos in Carlsbad and consistent with a 5 star luxury hotel with 3000 square feet, a gourmet kitchen, a secure private 2 car garage and an ocean facing master with cute roof deck that looks to the beautiful pacific ocean and downtown Carlsbad Village. No need to drive...walk everywhere as it's close enough to come and go from the beach and Village all day when you want to do your own thing or in a group.
