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.

This is a single family 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom home on a private, secured lot (enclosed with fencing and shrubs). A remote controlled back gate provides access to the property and parking through the alley. A bit thanks to your son for his service, and Thanks to you, Aaron, for being absolutely wonderful guests, and we look forward to hosting you again! :)

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!

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.
