About this property

Steps to the Ocean+Village Beach Home w Hot Tub šŸ–

Bungalow-style beach home with outside hot tub jacuzzi only steps to a wonderful beach with perfect sand, available bathrooms, and showers. Short walk to the wonderfully charming Carlsbad Village with plenty of shops and restaurants! Surf it up, visit Legoland and the world-famous flower fields, or take a day trip to San Diego and Sea World! There's plenty to do all around, and even more if you're staying longer and willing to drive up to Orange County or LA.

PERMIT #BLRE010683

The space:
- 3 private bedrooms
- Solar panels to completely power the house
- Ice cold AC!
- 3-4 person hot tub jacuzzi
- Beach necessities: towels, umbrella, chairs, kid's toys, bodyboards

Designed to perfection with an authentic beach-living vibe! 3Bd/2.5Ba with an office area, large kitchen/family room combo with TV, original wood plank flooring, on an oversized lot (7243 SF) with a private, quiet, tropical yard, with a huge covered patio to dine at, take a dip in the jacuzzi hot tub and relax - feels like paradise! The garden area is the coziest place in the world after a day at the beach.

Other things to note
Driveway parking for 3. There is an additional 1 bedroom guesthouse on the 2nd floor with its own bath and kitchen. For the time being, it is being rented out long-term to a working professional. The right parking spot on the lot is reserved for the tenant. You shouldnā€™t have any privacy issues as the guesthouse has a separate entrance along the side of the home, with the stairs leading upstairs outside in the backyard to the side. The two spaces are not connected internally, and the yard is private for guests of the large house only. There has never been a privacy issue or concern from our many past guests!

Up to 2 pets are allowed with a $250 pet fee.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

What a super house, the best VRBO weā€™ve stayed in! Very clean and well furnished, the primary bed was so comfortable and the room was nice and quiet. There was plenty of space to spread out and a well stocked kitchen. The host provided everything we needed and then some! The backyard was like a tropical paradise, so many beautiful plants and flowers, very private. The beach was a block and a half away and there was everything you need for a day at there, beach towels, chairs, umbrella, toys and a handy caddy to take everything there. A wonderful place to stay in Carlsbad.

We had such an amazing stay at this property and Alex was a wonderful host. Very quick with communication- when needed. I had some hesitation about the upstairs renter but leaned on the other reviews and they were right. This person seriously must be one of the quietest people ever. I only knew they were there when a car appeared in the driveway. The house is CLEAN. itā€™s a super cute beach house and I hope people realize how special it is. Itā€™s an old house (with beautiful floors!!!). Full of old house quirks (lots of switches for instance) that make it really cool. The backyard is ah-mazing. So beautiful. We didnā€™t use the hot tub so canā€™t speak to that. The house is very close to the beach. Alex has a storage shed full of chairs and Boogie boards to use. There is also a cart to help take things to the beach. We cooked in for several meals and the kitchen is well stocked. He also makes sure you have plenty of all kinds of towels, trash bags and toilet paper. The house is right on a very Main Street but overall itā€™s pretty quiet when you are inside. There is a train that goes by frequently and you can hear it. It didnā€™t keep us up at all but if you are a super sensitive sleeper this would be something to consider. Overall, we loved it and wouldnā€™t hesitate to come back again!

Roomy, nicely appointed, comfortable for a family. The kitchen was well-equipped as was the beach shed. The backyard was a real plus, with shade, hammock and hot tub. The TVā€™s all had premium streaming channels. The beach is a short 1-12/ blocks away. The house was quiet, as it was not right on noisy Carlsbad Blvd. Everyone in my family wants to come back next year.

My friends and I stayed here to celebrate my sisterā€™s 40th birthday weekend and loved it! The house was exceptionally clean, beds were SO comfortable, and the backyard is a dream! So much so that we had a sound healer come and host a sound bath in the backyard before we checked out - what a wonderful way to wrap up a relaxing weekend. We greatly appreciate the hostā€™s responsiveness and flexibility with allowing us to have a sound bath and truly enjoy the space. We will be back! FYSA there is a tenant upstairs but we didnā€™t hear a peep from them or see them even once - do not let that steer you from this wonderful home! Highly recommend!

Nice little place!

The property was perfect for my family of five and two dogs. It has a lush backyard that was perfect to relax in. The location was just a short walk from a beach spot that was great for surfing and swimming. Downtown was also close with either a five minute drive, 10 min bike ride or 25 walk. We would definitely stay again.
