Overall spacious and good property. Good location albeit a mile away from the main Carlbad beaches. It was pet friendly and great for our needs. If you arrive at night be sure to read the lockbox instructions carefully. There were no lights on at the house and I had difficulty finding the lockbox. However the phone support was immediate and walked me thru it.

Stayed here with 3 couples and it was absolutely perfect! Definitely one of the cleanest and nicest houses I’ve rented. All the amenities that you could need, beach within walking distance, just a few minute drive to shops and restaurants. Thanks for a great weekend!

Hello Megan,
Thank you so much for the kind words! We're thrilled to hear the home was a perfect fit for your group and that you enjoyed the cleanliness, amenities, and convenient location. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime. Thanks again for staying with us!
We are happy to hear our home is beautiful. We have reviewed our home for seating and have found we have more seating than the sleeping limit in our home.
A wonderful stay in Carlsbad to visit our granddaughter attending college in Southern CA. The house is an open plan that worked perfectly for our needs. It had everything we needed and was close to the beach, restaurants and local attractions.

Hello Lynne,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're so happy to hear the home worked perfectly for your visit and that you enjoyed the location and amenities. We hope to welcome you back again for another wonderful stay!
House is really beautiful, nicely furnished and appointed. Everything looked fresh and new. Plenty of space to spread out. On a very busy street but location across from the beach is worth it.
This is a very nice place to stay. Objectively pros: spacious, private, good for families, all modern creature comforts. Cons: lighting is dim in kitchen, not a lot of pot and pans for cooking, confusing light switching. Check-in/out was smooth and simple, hosts attentive and responsive. Only draw back was having to sign a secondary contract directly with renter.

Hello Robert,
Thanks for the thoughtful review! We're glad you enjoyed the space, comfort, and smooth check-in. We appreciate your notes on the lighting, cookware, and switches—great feedback we’ll use to improve. Hope to host you again!
Large lower level of a house with 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, large kitchen, living room, air and outdoors couch.
Safe neighborhood walking distance to get to the beach and surf spots. we were lucky to find bioluminescence both nights.
good kitchen to cook in and good downtown to walk around shops and restaurants after watching sunset. Great girls getaway.
Not enough towel racks. Middle bathroom not draining. Dishwasher is unlevel but works.

Thank you for your feedback. We were a bit surprised to read your comments, especially after your earlier message saying you were enjoying your stay and loved the spaciousness and décor.
We appreciate you bringing these items to our attention and will review the concerns about the towel racks, the middle bathroom drain, and the dishwasher to ensure they are addressed.
HelloThe lighting in bathroom and bedroom was not bright enough. Hot water in kitchen took awhile to get hot. Front gate and entrance had a lot spiderwebs, had to use outdoor boom to clean it.

Hi there — thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
We’re sorry to hear the lighting and hot water didn’t meet expectations, and we’ve already passed this along to our maintenance team to address. We’re also taking care of the spiderwebs at the entrance so future arrivals feel more welcoming.
Your comments help us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again for a smoother stay next time.
The property was just as shown in the listing. The house easily accommodated six people. The rooms were very clean and well maintained . The kitchen appliances were all good and in excellent working condition. However, the kitchen cabinets could have used a little TLC; the interior of the kitchen cabinets were not as clean as the rest of the surfaces on the house, (previous tenants left open jars of food and leftover spices in one of the cabinets), some of the plates were chipped, pots and pans were haphazardly placed or stacked in the cabinets. Otherwise our stay was very enjoyable.

While it was a nice home, I don’t think we would stay there again in the lower unit. There wasn’t any kind of view, and the upstairs tenants were quite noisy. The living room furniture needs to be updated, there is no support in any of the seating, and not enough seating for 6 people. We only had 4 in our party, but struggled with finding comfortable places to sit. The toilet in the master bath dripped, and smelled of sewage. It was a good location and not a far walk to several beaches. The property management was responsive to any questions we had.

Hello Robin,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear you appreciated the location and found our team responsive throughout your stay.
We’re sorry to hear that some aspects of the lower unit didn’t meet your expectations. Your comments regarding the living room furniture, noise from the upstairs unit, and the issue in the master bathroom have been noted, and we will be addressing them with our team to ensure improvements are made.
We truly value your input, as it helps us continue to enhance the guest experience. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in one of our other units in the future.
Beautiful home with lots of character and all the nice amenities. Fast response from host when in need. House set up is unusual, but the six of us made it work. The house is very open and allows beautiful breezes through out the day. Lots of storage, beach necessities and great towels/supplies for a traveler. Beach is close and allows those more active to enjoy miles of walks/runs. House is two separate rentals. Upstairs is a month long+. If one is sensitive to heavy foot steps and movement, be aware. Second guest was so polite and respectful of his neighbors below.

Didn’t meet expectations
- There was little to no lighting in the kitchen. It was very hard to see while cooking.
- stove light was broken
- top rack in oven is not installed correctly. 2 casserole dishes almost crashed onto the ground because it slides out and then tips downward.
- the leaf to extend the dining room table was missing

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations. We want to let you know that we’ve already addressed the lighting issue in the kitchen and it should now be much brighter and more functional for cooking. Additionally, we’ve fixed the stove light and corrected the oven rack to ensure safety and stability. Regarding the dining room table, we’ve found the missing leaf and have made sure it is available for future guests. We truly appreciate your input, as it helps us continue to improve. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back soon.
Overall good experience, loved being in walking distance to the beach. The house is beautiful! The only down side is that we didn't find it clear in the listing that we couldn't use upper deck in the listing picture that most likely has an ocean view. We envisioned watching the sunset from the upper deck which didn't happen. Otherwise, this was a great stay!

Thank you for your review. We’re glad to hear you had an overall good experience, enjoyed the home, and loved being within walking distance to the beach.
We’re sorry for any confusion regarding the upper deck. This reservation is for the lower unit of the home only, and the upper unit is a separate 30 day rental. The upper deck is not included with this rental, but we appreciate the feedback and will review the listing to make sure this is as clear as possible for future guests.
We’re happy you otherwise had a great stay and appreciate you choosing our home.
