Comfortable & Convenient Bungalow

The place was perfectly located near beach and restaurants and short distance to Legoland and other destinations like Carlsbad and San Diego Zoo. The place had everything we needed to make meals and enjoy coffee or drinks on outside patio. Great place to stay for a family vacation.

Great backyard for dogs! Cute cabin

We traveled with our two dogs. Hard to find a great place for them like this. Really appreciated the beautiful back, front and side yards. Even had a doggie door. Could park in the enclosed yard. Property is cute and well maintained. Lots of nice little welcoming touches. And great support from Paul, the host:

Cozy

Furniture and beds were comfy. The house offered everything we possibly could’ve needed for our stay including some toys for our three-year-old. Relatively quiet if you’re inside, but close to the freeway so there is noise. We didn’t walk to anything in the neighborhood, but drove a couple miles toward the ocean where there were many wonderful coffee shops, icee cream, restaurants and things to see and do. Overall, a nice home to spend the night.

Beautifully Accommodated Home

This was a cozy beautiful accommodating home. It had everything me and family needed. It was closed to the beach and to everything. The property manager Paul was easy to communicate. He responded right away to my messages. I will highly recommend this home to anyone looking to stay with dogs in the Carlsbad area. The fully fenced backyard was a game changer for my dogs. Karina

Super Hidden Gem

My family and I stayed here so I could attend my GIA lab in Carlsbad. At first we were a little nervous driving up to the address. But once we were inside of the gated property we were happy. The property is clean and well kept. The inside was everything we needed. Would stay again! Definitely!

Wonderful Family Oasis

We stayed here for a girls trip and honestly, it was amazing. Paul was responsive to a couple of requests that we reached out about, and the home was set up so thoughtfully! From the s'more kit in the kitchen to the relaxing hammock in the backyard, we just really didn't want to leave! The proximity to the beach and downtown area was super close, not walkable, but a short 5-minute or less drive to the happening scene was super convenient. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
