About this property

Spacious, Charming, Clean Home Close To The Beach!

Welcome to your home away from home in Carlsbad! We are proud to provide our guests with a home that is comfortablek, beautiful, spacious and exceptionally clean.

Our favorite part of hosting is providing a place for you to make beautiful memories with family & friends that will last a lifetime.

***Please note: All guests must honor quiet hours from 10pm to 8am, and be respectful to our house & our neighbors.***

Less than a mile from the beach, and only 3 miles from Legoland, this Olde Carlsbad gem is the perfect place for family and friends to call their home away from home. Groceries are a short one-minute walk, and Starbucks, Leucadia Pizza, and the Village Pie Shop are less than a 5-minute walk from our home.

Full details of each of the spaces are listed below. All rooms with televisions include access to Hulu+ Live TV, Disney+, and ESPN+ as well as Amazon Prime Video. The home also has central air conditioning (rare for Carlsbad!) and heating. And almost every room in the house has a ceiling fan to keep you cool and comfortable.

Fast, free WiFi is included in the home.

There is a brand new bank of EV chargers (EVgo) located just steps from our home in the Vons parking lot.

The Living Room:
The living room has beautiful bay windows, a large 65" Smart HD TV, blue ray DVD player and gas fireplace.

Dining Room/Kitchen:
There is a huge table with room enough for 8-10 people, and a sliding glass door to let in the cool ocean breezes. The kitchen is oversized with plenty of what you need to cook for everyone at home.

Backyard:
There is a large patio table with room for 8 people cooled by an overhead fan. The jacuzzi has enough room for 6 adults, with color changing LED lights, waterfall feature and plenty of jets. The outdoor fire pit is the perfect place to unwind with a glass of wine at night, or make s'mores (with or without the kids!). There is also a large gas BBQ for outdoor grilling. The backyard retreat lights up at night with cafe lights throughout. A water fountain provides for the soothing sounds of running water. And there is a surfboard shower for a whimsical and warm rinse after a day at the beach!

Front Yard:
There are adirondack chairs for enjoying the Carlsbad breezes, and a small lawn for the kids to enjoy as well.

Rooms:
The largest en-suite bedroom is downstairs, and includes a King size bed and attached bathroom with private shower. There is a 32" HD TV and beautiful French doors with private access to the patio.

The second downstairs bedroom includes a queen bed and a queen sleeper sofa, as well as a 49" flat screen HD TV.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Check-in was super easy. The home was quite comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed. The kids especially enjoyed the availability of the boogie boards and the games in the game closet. The parents found the super clean jacuzzi quite relaxing at the end of a busy day. Definitely a place that I would recommend.

We were visiting Oceanside for a sporting event that got cancelled due to bad weather prior to our arrival. So we never ended up staying at the home. Our payment had been made a long time ago and was non-refundable but the owners were very helpful in helping us recover at least the cleaning fees. Definitely good owners to rent from and I would highly recommend booking with them.

Noah's wedding

We enjoyed all the amenities. Unfortunately, we did not have enough time to enjoy the beach this trip.The only down side is that the hot tub took long too long to heat up. Another down side is that we could not enjoy the hot tub after 10.

Response from VrboOwner on Mar 3, 2025
Thank you so much for your comments, Paul. I’m sorry to hear you didn’t have enough time at the beach, but am glad the house worked out for you! I did test the hot tub myself this weekend, and it only took 2.5 hours to increase from 80° to 103 °. It’s quite a bit of water, so it does need a little time to get warm. We try to be very clear about our quiet hours in our listing. The hot tub is available at any time. However, the noise level needs to be very low during our quiet hours. If you stay with us again, please do reach out so I can assist you with any issues that may occur. Thank you again, and a wishing you all the best!
