We met Jim when we were checking in, and he was super friendly, chatting with us for a bit. Everything was spotless and tidy. We were easily able to walk to and from downtown and the beach daily. Plus, the outdoor area was so peaceful, it was a real treat!

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.

This property was amazing. Wonderful location, within walking distance to the beach and several great restaurants. It had more than what we needed, when I say fully stocked kitchen, I mean it, all appliances, dishware, utensils, pots, pans, can opener, anything you would need. The host was very kind and communicative. This may seem small, but he supplied ample toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, etc. You could tell that he has gone out of his way to think of ways to make his guests comfortable. It felt like home. I did not want to leave! Overall great experience. Also, very pet friendly, there were dog bags everywhere, property was very safe for my small dog to be off leash in the yard. Very private, very safe. Also, had an electric car charger.

Jim and his place are a Carlsbad gem. We are a couple with a dog and are grateful that dogs are allowed. We also really appreciated his thoughtful amenities like the EV charger, Carlsbad Alkaline water, hot outdoor shower the kitchen set up including a blender (we make a lot of smoothies). Jim also provides beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, bougie board, surf board, and towels)We also loved the enclosed outdoor space which seems like an extension of the indoor space. All the plants, trees, and fountains give the place a private Zen garden feel. Even though the street is just on the other side of the trees, there is almost no noise. Thanks Jim, we're already looking forward to coming back!

UNBELIEVABLE STAY

I have been going to Carlsbad for 15 plus years. This place was the BEST place we have ever stayed at hands down. The owner is on top of everything and the location and amazing courtyard put it over the top. You would be stupid not to select this place for your vacation.
