Great Location

We enjoyed staying at this bungalow right by the beach. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and the host was very kind and accommodating. Close to lots of restaurants and in the center of the action. Thank you for a great stay.

Great location, yard!

We had a great time in Carlsbad staying at this property. The enclosed yard was perfect for my young kids to explore. Walking distance to everything in the village. And Jim was super knowledgeable and very communicative.

5 day vacation

This cottage was amazing! Jim is a phenomenal host, it has everything you need, and a short walk to the beach and downtown Carlsbad Village. You can park your vehicle behind the front gate which is very safe and secure. Everyone in the area is super nice, the yard is very big, we were able to bring our dog and there were no concerns of her getting out. our family and dog will be back.

Best Experience!

We had an incredible time with our 2 tiny pups. The pictures do not do the place justice. Jim is a very gracious host. A sweet gift upon our arrival and so many unexpected touches. Jim also reached out to us to let us know that the place was ready and if we wanted to check in early we could. It was an easy walk to Carlsbad Village and the Beach. We would definitely like to visit again.

Jim was great, he had great communication skills and made check in easy! We left LA early to avoid traffic and Jim allowed us to have an early check in at no cost. The property was well maintained and is a home away from home, great location next to shops, beach, and restaurant. Check-in and check out process was easy.

Carlsbad’s secret tropical hideaway. The cottage is all you need for a beach vacation in Cali, but the backyard…holy smokes! Absolutely beautiful and private. I’m not sure who enjoyed the stay more us or our pup. The cottage is located perfectly, everything is walkable. Jim is a kind and gracious host to top it off.
Extra sleep space in there!

Perfect with Pups!

Overall this place was wonderful. The yard and outdoor amenities were great. Inside is on the small side but perfect for up to four. Jim was a great host, extremely thoughtful and knowledgeable. We had an amazing time and will be back in a couple of months.

My husband and I stayed 3 nights here. We had the most relaxing, enjoyable time. The yard is beautiful and private! The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The beach and town are just a short walk away. We hardly used our car. Jim is a great host. He even had a little gift for us when we got there. We will definitely be going back!

Amazing Stay at Jim’s Beach Cottage !!

We had a fantastic stay at Jim’s beach cottage! The location is absolutely perfect—just a short walk to the beach, shops, and great local restaurants. The cottage was clean, well-equipped, and had everything we needed and more. It truly felt like a home away from home. Highly recommend staying here if you're visiting Carlsbad. We met Jim on our last day friendly, kind . Thank you Jim for everything ….. Tiffany R & family

Even better than the pictures

This was one of the easiest places we have ever stayed at. Everything from the check in to the outdoor lights was stress free. A fantasic yard that the pictures didn't really capture. The inside space was cozy and well layed out. Very pet friendly. Really loved this place and can't wait to stay again.

Fabulous place

This property is amazing. This is our second stay here and we will be back again. The house is very nice and clean with thoughtful touches like a water cooler. We had a lovely card and gift waiting for us as return guests. The showstopper is the yard. It is incredibly private and beautiful. There is a covered patio with heaters and large dining table, chaiselounges and a fire pit. It has everything you need to enjoy the outdoors no matter what the weather. Our dog loved it as well. You can also park inside the gate which was nice. The size of the yard is unheard of a couple blocks from the beach. You can walk to everything in the village and there are lots of shops and restaurants. We didn’t even use our car some days.

Fantastic house near the beach

We loved every detail of this place. The patio and yard are so inviting and comfortable that we almost didn’t want to go anywhere, but the beach is a short walk away and so are the restaurants and shops. It was easy to come and go. Jim is a super friendly and thoughtful host.

Location!

So, let's just start with location, location, location. A short 2 block walk to the beach. In the other direction is a 2-block walk to Carlsbad village. I personally would never rent anywhere else. And I haven't even mentioned Jim, the host. Jim was the best VRBO host we have ever had, and we've been VRBOing for many years. Jim has lived in Carlsbad his entire life and is a walking encyclopedia of everything San Diego. My husband and I had the best week, and I am so grateful that my dog was also welcomed in open arms. Jim was amazing in ways I can't describe. We loved our stay.
