Great location. Michael was great

The property was just what we needed for a family getaway. Michael showed us where all the beach toys were and is a great person to deal with. Walking distance to the beach, resturants, the Coaster...We enjoyed our time there and would come again.

This is my third stay with Mike. Mike is a pleasure to work with. His places are clean, tidy, nicely located and well appointed. We stay in rentals so we can cook and his kitchens have all I need, plus a bbq and outdoor table. I have stayed other places when Mike has been booked. I had to pay more and the places weren't as well equipped for cooking. So book early as he fills up and enjoy your stay.

Our trip over the week of Memorial Day was so perfect, thanks in a huge part to the great cottage and Michael's warm welcome! The location is ideal. The beach is only a few short blocks away, easy to walk there even carry items like a chair, umbrella and boogie boards (all kindly included in our stay!). There is a 7 Eleven on the corner for those quick trips for milk or a snack. The train and bus station are a short walk away as is great shopping and small restaurants. The cottage was super clean, well stocked for anything you may want to cook. The linens are nice, all kitchen items are well cared for. The yard was a great spot to read a book. The train does go by several times throughout the day, honking the horn as it passes through the intersection. We live where it's super quiet and we found that the sound was not even an issue. When in Southern California we will stay nowhere else! We can't say enough good things to everyone we talk to! The Lefko's

This is a great place and a great deal. The walk to the beach is quick and it is away from the hustle and bustle of the main drag. The yard was perfect for our kids, it was like a big playpen with a locking gate. Mike is a great host and the unit was stocked with all of our needs. The most popular local restaurants are right around the corner, we never needed to get in our car at all. Cant wait to go back.

My husband and I stayed here for one week the first part of November. Had a relaxing time here...very clean, comfortable and well located cottage. Walked lots of places in Carlsbad Village, enjoyed the Farmer's Market and many shops there and wonderful walks on the beach and boardwalk. Owner was VERY helpful and able to answer any question we had. Would stay here again, no problem! Thank you Mike for all of your hospitality!

Honeymoon!

This rental was perfect for our budgeted honeymoon! The cottage was clean & organized, providing any need possible aside from food & clothes. The location was great. The Village of Carlsbad was within walking distance and we walked there for breakfast every morning. The weather that whole week was perfect! Frazee beach was a block away & we spent every evening & several afternoons there. The landlord, Michael, was always available & very courteous. Our first night, we were cold & couldn't figure the heater. I didn't have Michael's number yet, so I emailed him asking how to turn the heat on. He arrived 10 min later & showed us how. He was friendly & helpful in suggesting places to go or things to do. Very laid back cool guy. We really enjoyed our stay here & completely recommend it & look forward to staying there again someday.

He had great suggestions for dinner and was happy to accomidate any requests he could. We will be back again!!! Thank you Michael for such a memorable stay.

Fabulous rental

This is a fabulous rental in Carlsbad. Just two blocks from the beach and one block from all the downtown restaurants and shops. You don't need a car while you're here, just take the Coaster from San Diego and you can walk to the cottage. You will find it exactly as described. The full kitchen was put to good use as was the BBQ grill and patio furniture in the private back yard. All items needed for the beach were there for you including beach chairs, beach towels, umbrellas, boogie boards, cooler and shovels and pails. There is a big flat screen TV (but no reason for TV with the beach so close). Can't say enough about the host, Michael who was very helpful answering our questions. You may even get to meet his dog, Dude!! You can't go wrong with this rental.

We stayed here for a week of wonderful experiences. Everything was as described and then some! We had beautiful facilities that were spotless. The owner was available and answered ALL questions, plus offering additional suggestions. It is VERY convenient to all the attractions. We would recommend this facility to friends, relatives or anyone.

Very convenient location in the middle of Carlsbad. Close to the beach, shops, restaurants and main throroughfares if you want to travel to the neighboring beach towns. Ideal for the sports minded; we started our afternoon runs from the cottage and had easy access to the route along the ocean. The cottage is very comfortable and everything is provided! Michael, the owner was a great host.

My husband and I went to Carlsbad to visit our daughter and we were fortunate enough to find this hidden treasure! Located only a block from the beach on one side and a block from the Village on the other. The cottage was immaculate and furnished with nothing but the best! The queen bed and pull out couch we like sleeping on a cloud. And then there was the meticulous manicured yard with gas BBQ, Huge table and umbrella and flowers everywhere. We enjoyed morning coffee there every am. The owner, Michael was very pleasant and accomodating with all of our needs....and we could not have found a more perfect home away from home!

We had never rented a property for vacation before. We have always stayed in hotel properties. We took a chance and stayed in Carlsbad at this lovely one bedroom condo which was like a home away from home. It was clean, comfortable and safe. The extras were great - everything needed to cook a meal, gas bbq grill, wireless internet, free washer and dryer on site. We highly recommend this reasonable unit for 2 people. Might be a bit crowded for more than 2. We would rent this unit again in a minute as well as recommend it to anyone else.

A home away from home

My wife Elisabeth and I stayed 3 days in this lovely cottage on our 3 week tour through California: a bit too short. The cottage was spacious and clean and it felt like a home away from home especially because of Michael's hospitality. I's just a short walk to the beach, stores and restaurants. There is ample parking space and everything you need for a nice day at the beach (such as towels, beach chairs, umbrellas). The price is also more than fair. We can recommend this house to anyone who isn't looking for posh places like Rodeo Av. Jim
