Spotless beach themed sunny apartment just a 2 block walk from the beach. There's a reserved parking spot in the carport just steps from the apartment and the grounds are immaculate. Comfy bed, great shower, the kitchen is well stocked if you are planning on cooking. If you're not cooking, the Village is very close, many restaurant and shopping options. Keyless entry was so convenient. Host was quick to respond when we had a question. The only surprise was the close proximity of the train tracks, weekdays the train starts at 5am, the train has minimal cars, the noise passes quickly and the route isn't used at night.

Pleasant Stay

Pleasant stay- nice sized, very clean updated older unit with comfortable seating and memory foam mattress, large TV, well supplied kitchen including spices. Our host thought of every amenity! Grounds were also well kept. Seemed like a good area, conveniently located within walking distance to everywhere. It was cooler than we expected for end of April, so we didn't make much use of the shaded nice little patio.

Ideal location and well equipped, if staying more than 5 days there was no change of bed linen meaning that you had to launder them in one day.

About the host

Hosted by Pam Kerckhoff

Host profile image
I am from Southern California. I have been living in Carlsbad for over 20 years and love it here!

Why they chose this property

I grew up being able to walk to the beach and to shopping. I loved it! I live in Carlsbad, but have to drive to the beach. So when an opportunity came up to buy a property that was very close to the beach and to the Village in Carlsbad I took it.

What makes this property unique

Properties don't become available in this development very often. What I love about this unit is that it is on the ground floor, has two private enclosed patios, and is in a sunny and quiet location in the complex.
