Loved every minute of our time at the house and our time in Carlsbad. The home was immaculate when we arrived; the layout is spacious; the location is one of the best features of this house. It's about one block from the beach. And, being in the village was perfect - we parked the car in the garage and could go for four or five days without using it. Walk everywhere. Long walks along the beach or along the esplanade. Great restaurants: Sushi, Mexican, French, Italian, Irish, Steakhouse - it's all there. And, we were there for the Carlsbad 5000 - the fastest 5K race in the world. Something like 12,000 runners competed in nine or ten race events over that weekend in March. It was a festival weekend and we were living in the middle of it. Could not have been any better.
Rhonda was a gem to work with; she met us when we arrived and made sure everything was OK with us. Then, she checked in (by text message) with us after two or three days. No need to have done that because everything was exactly as described and maybe even better than described. And she made sure that we had her contact information in case we needed it.
We will be checking the reservation calendar for this home for our next trip to Carlsbad.
