We had a wonderful stay at this Carlsbad beach cottage. The property was immaculate and very well maintained, and the host was welcoming and easy to communicate with.We really appreciated that it’s pet-friendly, and the location is hard to beat—just two blocks from Carlsbad State Beach. It made for a relaxing and convenient getaway. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for visiting, you are always welcome back.
What a wonderful place! The yard war perfect for our dog and it was very secure. There were multiple potty bag stations available. The area was quiet and so relaxing
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.

Clarence, thanks for staying with us, you are welcome back anytime.
Best, Jim
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.
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 always enjoy staying here. Jim has created such a cool vibe to the cottage and outdoor yard space, that we love. The location is perfect to the beach and also into town. Can't wait for the next time!

Nicole & Bryan,
You are always welcome here. Thank you for visiting again.
The house was just as described in the listing but the yard stole the show. The location is one block from the beach and parking was very easy. Highly recommended and would definitely stay here again.
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.
Wonderful property with spacious fenced in back yard. Kitchen very well equipped, remodeled bath very comfortable. Comfortable bed and living area. Host lives next doir and came over at check in in the evening to show all the features of the place. Will plan to stay here again for sure.
The cottage is wonderful including an awesome fenced in yard. Our host Jim was very helpful and friendly. Overall, I highly recommend this cottage which is a short walk to the beach and downtown.
Our favorite rental spot! We love the simplicity of the cottage and, our favorite, the outdoor aspect of this place! Jim is a great host and incredibly accommodating.
