We had a lovely stay at Jim’s property. The feelOf the house was great. When you walk around the house it feels more like you are staying at a friends house and not at a rental property. The walk to the beach was very easy and quick plus Jim had some beach supplies (wagon, chairs and umbrella). We really enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Sitting in the garden with the chimes chiming was one of the highlights. Being able to walk to the beach for sunsets or day at the beach is wonderful.

Great location, cute place

Everything was seamless and exceeded expectations (parking, serene outdoor space, mini-split cooling, spacious kitchen). This place was well equipped and perfect for our weekend plans. Loved that we could reach everything on foot and could easily snag an Uber when we had more distant plans. Absolutely would stay here again if I had the opportunity. Thank you!

Cute Beach cottage in great location!

Had a wonderful stay at this property! Jim could not be more responsive and helpful. It has a cute outdoor area with fire pit which we used and enjoyed! It is within walking distance to the darling Carlsbad Village and the beach. Its down the street from a darling coffee shop Cafe Elysa, which we visited every morning for coffee and a yummy croissant breakfast sandwich. We would definitely stay again!

An outstanding gem in Carlsbad, highly recommend!!

Our stay at Jim’s cottage was wonderful, & we absolutely loved our stay! It’s outfitted with everything you need, and has the sweetest garden area that is private and all your own. We loved coming home to the sound of the water fountain in the garden, and the lights in the garden at night were so lovely. A full kitchen, plenty of towels, bed linens, and all the beach gear was so thoughtfully provided. The cottage has a nice peaceful vibe and is so pleasant to hang out in, very quiet at night, too. We slept so well! It’s perfectly located a short walking distance to the beach & everything in town. What makes this place so special is Jim, a kind, friendly & gracious host that truly wants his guests to enjoy their stay, and has put alot of love into creating a comfortable & unique place for you to have as your home base in Carlsbad. We can’t wait to return, thanks so much Jim!
