About Russell Bennett
I live here in wonderful Carlsbad Village with my wife and children, we love being able to walk to dinner, listen to live music, ride our bikes around and enjoy the beach. I couldn't imagine a better place to experience life as a family.
Russell Bennett purchased this cottage in 2014
Why Russell Bennett chose Carlsbad
I purchased this property from a friend who had plans to develop it into condos, but loved the uniqueness of this amazing cottage compound and decided to bring the charm back. After fixing one after another up and many people stopping by to say how much they loved the property, I decided that sharing it was what I wanted to do and made them available as Vacation Rental.... Villagio Carlsbad Cottages. 7 individual cottages with private patios. Stay in one or multiple family can stay next to each other to be together and yet have their own space.

Great property!
Would go back in an instant.
Good location. Nice place.
I traveled out to Carlsbad with 3 other people for a friend's wedding. The cottage was definitely in a prime location in Carlsbad. It was a short 5 minute walk to the beach and a short walk to downtown. Laurie the property manager was very nice and answered all of our questions promptly. The cottages were small but it had everything we needed. It fit the four of us fine all sleeping separately. The cottages all had their own individual look and they looked great. It was like stepping into a different world once you were in the gate. I would definitely consider staying again.
Loved the weather!!
The property can use an updated couch. But overall the time was awesome!
Super Cute Cottages, Close to everything
There were a couple cons, similar to what others have stated. So I'll start with those. The units could definitely use some a/c! We brought our 4 daughters & they all woke up several times sweating & couldn't sleep. We are from Arizona, it's 118 as I'm typing this, so we are used to heat... but it's very humid in the unit. One morning the girls woke up at 5:30, checked the weather on their phone & humidity was 85%. We kept the windows open the first day & when we got back from the beach there were ants in the kids room & all over our daughters clothes. Luckily they have a washer & dryer onsite, which was awesome! Secondly, there is a very loud train close by that runs all the time. But if the units had a/c, the windows could be kept closed & that would resolve that issue.
Now for the pros... the Cottages are adorable!! Even thought they're small, they are very nice inside. Everything is within walking distance. The beach, & lots of restaurants & shops! Everywhere we went to eat was really good!! The only time we left in our car was to drive to the Carlsbad outlets, which was a 6 minute drive. Washer & dryer on site was awesome!!! So we didn't have to take any sandy, dirty clothes home. Owners are quick to respond & very helpful. Overall, we had a great stay. Our girls had a blast. We spent most of our time at the beach or at the shops/restaurants.
The pros outweigh the cons & we would definitely stay again!! If they got a/c units we would book a longer trip.
So much fun!
we will be back for sure!!!
Adorable Cottage w All the Amenities!
Pros:
The decor and the furniture were adorable and every space was used efficiently to make the most of a small space. The landscaping around the cottage is ADORABLE!
We loved the location (so close to the beach - which is beautiful - and the town and only a 9 minute drive to legoland). There was also an adorable little farmers market that happens every Wednesday. You can see it from the entrance to the cottages!
There's a grill, a really nice community laundry room, a small deck to sit on, beach toys, a tv in each room, each set up w netflix, games, etc. we also found olive oil, coffee, laundry detergent, ketchup and mustard already on hand!
Any questions were answered within minutes via the Home Away app.
Cons:
It was definitely smaller than it looked in the photos. But we made it work!
It was SO hot at night. There were ceiling fans in each room and additional large fans, and we had the windows open, but we were all sweating throughout the night every night. I'm not sure what can be done about this but it would have to change for us to go back.
Noise. The train really didn't bother us, we like the sound of trains! But there was a dump truck that ran around 6am on two mornings that woke up our kids and the baby). And then there was a jackhammer and a tractor working on the street right outside our kitchen window that started at 7am one morning and was there digging and drilling and beeping til we left around 930.
Overall we loved this trip to Carlsbad. We plan to come back every year now! This cottage is adorable, and if the heat situation can be fixed, we'd be up for staying here again.
