Location: Carlsbad, San Diego County, California, USA
Accommodations: House, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 6)
Enjoy the sunsets and unobstructed ocean views in this 1923 California style beach house. The house is located on Carlsbad Boulevard and has been refurbished by family members who have lived here since 1953. Now it is used as our vacation home available to you when vacant. Main rooms all look onto the Pacific Ocean, where surfers, boaters, dolphin and whales can be seen. New sofas, beds, appliances, and paint will make your stay comfy and homey.
A walkway above the bluff and stairs to the walkway and State Beach below reveal miles of white sandy beach for sunbathing, and a very gradual descent into the surf for swimming, bodyboarding, or surfing. Lifeguards keep watch during the prime seasons. Some beach equipment is provided, but a surf rental shop is 3 blocks to the north. Two of the photos here attempt to show the proximity of the house to the beach.
Carlsbad's old village ambiance, Lego-Land, Flower Fields, Outlet stores and nearby malls, Oceanside Harbor with its boat trips, fishing from the pier, golfing at local courses, the Museum of Making Music, old Mission San Luis Rey are just a few of the many ways to enjoy yourself while staying in Carlsbad.
The driveway can accommodate 3-4 cars. It's a short walk to Carlsbad Village downtown. Or hop on a bus on the corner or the Coaster rail downtown to any place in San Diego County, including Petco Park, the home of the Padres. We provide ideas for local attractions, of which the area is so famous. You can even take Amtrak from Oceanside to Disneyland or Los Angeles. The Riviera of Southern California is here for your pleasure, too much for just one visit. Make this your home away from home.
