This is the perfect little getaway for two! You have your own parking spot and a perfect view of the ocean. The private patio and the bedroom view were priceless! We just love the little oasis and the backyard was wonderfully packed with all kinds of chairs and loungers. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook, and the property was very clean with lots of towel towels and extra toilet paper!My only suggestion for next time is stronger Wi-Fi. However, listening to the ocean is priceless.
Our unit was a bit worse for wear. It's an older beach cottage and smelled musty.

Great place on the ocean. Outside deck and areas are great for watching the ocean.
I am anxious to rebook ... my husband had a medical emergency/hospitalization so the owner allowed me to let my friend enjoy the property. She loved it - I can't wait to try again!

Thank you so much for sharing this, and we’re truly sorry to hear about your husband’s medical emergency.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out when you’re ready to rebook — we’d be happy to help make your next stay a great one.
The condo was perfect! Ocean views from every window, which we left open even at night to hear the surf. The condo was nice & decorated like a beach cottage. It's exactly like the pictures. We had everything we needed. We would love to go back. Perfect!

Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the ocean views, the beach cottage feel, and that the condo had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. It’s wonderful to know it was just as you expected from the photos. We’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime!
This was EXCALLY what we were looking for! A house right on the beach. Just like the photos you walk right out your back gate and are on the beach. All day and night you just hear the waves crashing, it was perfect. The unit was actually bigger than expected. Morning coffee and wine nights on our balcony were amazing.

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear the home was exactly what you were looking for and that you enjoyed the beach access, balcony mornings, and wine nights. It sounds like such a special stay, and we’re so glad you chose to spend it with us.
We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
I will say we love Carlsbad! The beach has changed so disappointing!! The condo was nice ! Very comfortable! Beds everything! Thanks we love Carlsbad!!!
Everything about this place is exactly as listed. When we arrived someone was parked in our assigned spot, so we called them. They immediately answered and got it taken care off. It is a very open floor plan with a picture perfect view of the ocean. Since it is down at towards the end of Ocean Street there were very few people. The walk to the center of town only takes 5 minutes or so, and you have access some of the best parts of the beach for daily searches for sea shells. The place has a lot of space which I believe they could have used to place some extra beds if they wanted. We have been coming to Carlsbad every year for a long time, and this is our new favorite place to stay.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the home, the views, and the location. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back for your next Carlsbad visit!
Great location, perfect accommodation for a couple. Easy walking to restaurants and the Coaster. For groceries you'd need to drive. Big plus is the beach is right out the door.
It's a great location though there is not much beach area to sit in front of the home. It may have been a higher than normal tide. The home needs some TLC. Lots of aging inside and out. Please fix the blinds in the main room, it's a great view but you can't raise the blinds to enjoy it!

Thank you for choosing to stay with P.S. Platinum Vacation Rentals and for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the location and beautiful views, and we appreciate your notes regarding the blinds and areas needing a little extra care. Your comments have been shared with our team so we can address them for future guests. We hope to welcome you back soon for an even better experience next time.
This was a great place to stay, pics are accurate. I agree with the other postings that the Unit C isn't obvious when you 1st arrive. Walking distance to Carlsbad Village, which is already a great place to tour and be at the beach. Definitely recommend.
Direct access to the beach. Great porch to enjoy early morning and late night lounging while enjoying the ocean. Everything we needed to get started on our stay was provided. Comfortable and clean.

Carol, we're so glad you enjoyed your time here. We hope to welcome you back again!
Place was in an outstanding spot, right on beach, waves crashing, great location. Clean and spacious. Good parking. The problem we experienced is the noise. Paper thin walls all around, including ceiling, so you heard everything your neighbors were up to. That is the only negative I would comment on. If you don't mind some background noise, till about 10pm, the location again is awesome!

Very loud!
I would ABSOLUTELY never return to this property! This is an old building with paper thin walls and ceilings. The 615 am wakeup incessant running and jumping on the furniture from the kids upstairs was exacerbated by the loud music by the room next to us at 130am. 4 hours of nightly sleep for the first three days. Management tried their best to get folks to be courteous, and respect the reasonable 10 pm to 10 am quiet hours...but to no avail

We are so sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. We do have a quiet hours policy and a zero-tolerance policy for parties/excessive noise at our homes, however, as this unit is located on a shared property where others may be enjoying their vacations, the noise may carry from time-to-time. This has not posed a problem previously, but we will continue to remain available to all of our guests should an issue ever arise.

Beautiful View...But
The house number was difficult to find. Stair accesses slacked handrails and lighting, and were dangerous. Unit identification was missing. Windows needed cleaning. Blinds had bent and broken slats and could not be raised so the view could be appreciated. The heater was badly rusted. Bathroom tub lacked non skid surface/mat and safety supports. There was no handbook on operation of any equipment/TV, local convenience and emergency services.

What a disappointment?
Pluses areLocation, View, Comfortable Bed, Lots of Towels, BBQ works well. Negatives:Lots of rust in heating unit and bathroom shower, Cookware was falling apart, MAIN ROOM BLINDS WOULD NOT RAISE, so could not see view properly, Built in Microwave is out of order. While they do have a small replacement microwave, the built in one not working means that there is no light or fan over the stove top. Outside light sensor on balcony kept turning on and off all night, One of the other suites has access to the balcony in front our your bedroom window. So the other suite tenant walked out in front of us while we were still in bed. Very poor sound insulation in upper suite so that we could hear every move they made. Finally the garbage cans outside were overflowing when we arrived for our 3 day stay. It looked like the garbage had not been put out for well over a week if not longer. The owners request that if you are there on Monday to put the garbage out which we would normally be happy to do. We had to pile our garbage on top of a very full bin and wheel the cans out onto the street. Not impressed

Needs a table and chairs on the balcony. The couch is too low and the railing blocks the view

Thank you for your feedback and for choosing to stay with us - we’re glad you enjoyed the views, coastal sounds, and comfort of the home!
Following your stay, our team completed a thorough inspection. We did not find any moisture under the sink, and while we were unable to replicate any hot water concerns, we proactively descaled the system to ensure optimal performance. The shower connection was also checked and is functioning properly.
We appreciate your suggestions regarding the balcony furnishings and interior layout, and will take them into consideration as we continue to enhance the guest experience.
Thank you again - we hope to welcome you back in the future!

Unit C that we stayed in is perfect for my husband and I, this is the second time we've stayed in this unit. Right on the beach, walking distance to Carlsbad Village, has everything we need. The unit was clean, bed very comfortable. The unit is starting to show some wear & tear on the outside due to the weather, and a couple of things on the inside that will need fixing, but this didn't bother us, we were there for the view and beach access. We saw dolphins a couple of times and that was cool! We will definately stay there again!
