About this property
Garden, Ocean-Views, Dog Friendly, A/C.
This extraordinarily relaxing & serene home-away-from-home at the beach is a beautiful, classic 2 bedroom California beach bungalow. Just steps to the beach with ocean views inside and out.
Walk to famous Tamarack beach on a scenic trail. You will love dining on the patio and gazing out to the sea. Relax as children and pets play in the yard.
From the house, it's just a quick 1 mile drive -- or a gorgeous 20 minute walk along the ocean -- to the center of Carlsbad's Village, where you will find restaurants of every description, lots of shops and the Coaster train station.
Go just 1 mile in a different direction to find a supermarket, drug store, the freeway entrance, and all the conveniences.
Gourmet markets, fine dining and shopping, and Legoland theme park are all available within minutes.
Your beach house is fully equipped, and features wonderfully comfortable beds, a big TV in the living room, a well-stocked kitchen, off-street parking, private laundry facilities, a grassy yard with patio furnished for outdoor dining and lounging, a propane grill, a fire-ring for enjoying an evening beverage, and an outdoor shower for your pleasure upon returning from the beach.
And it's sparkling clean!
At the beach you will find lifeguards, restrooms and showers. There are designated areas for surfing and swimming. Beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, boogey boards, beach toys and coolers are provided. Pelicans, egrets, seagulls, and great blue herons will point the way as you follow the short and easy scenic trail from the property to the beach (about a block-and-a-half, about a 5 minute walk.)
In the evening, enjoy the view of the magnificent sunset over the Pacific and the graceful flight of many sea birds, while you cook dinner on the grill. If you've brought children, there's plenty of room for them to play, and you can relax knowing they are safe in the yard.
Stroll, bike, or rollerblade one mile up the coast to the 'village' for lunch. Explore the small shops, boutiques, antique stores and cafes. There are many excellent restaurants.
...If you decide on a romantic dinner, one of Carlsbad's best ocean view restaurants is just three blocks from your home.
Carlsbad Premium Outlets mall - a five minute drive away - is a shopper's paradise. But remember to save some energy for tomorrow . . .
Will it be surf lessons, sunbathing, or golf, the Zoo, the Wild Animal Park, Sea World, Legoland, Old Town, Balboa Park, jet skiing, deep sea fishing, The Lagoon Discovery Center, Disneyland, or . . . Just RELAXING at the BEST SPOT IN CARLSBAD!
The entire area is rich with so many opportunities for recreation, enjoyment of the arts, and entertainment you will have to return again and again to begin to scratch the surface!

About the host
Hosted by Denise Junge
Starting with my early childhood summer vacations in Hawaii, I have always loved the beach and ocean. I have enjoyed the magnificence of an ocean view virtually my entire adult life, and consider it an essential. Getting tossed by the waves and walking on the beach are two of my favorite pastimes. It delights me to share the experience of these things with my guests, and to see their smiling faces as they relax and enjoy the stunning meeting of earth, sea, and sky!
Why they chose this property
'This is the Best Spot in Carlsbad!' This little neighborhood has it all: The gorgeous views of the ocean and the lagoon, wonderful ocean breezes, a trail from the property to the beach, proximity to the restaurants of the Village and the Coaster train, great nearby shopping, easy freeway access -- but it's just far enough away from all these to avoid the noise and traffic! It is also a wonderful neighborhood, with many long-time residents who couldn't imagine a better place to be, and who really care about each other. And, being at the North end of San Diego County, it's a great location for day trips to Disneyland or LA as well as all the San Diego attractions.
What makes this property unique
There is something very special about classic beach houses, built by hand by the original owner with lots of TLC. There's a feeling of peaceful enjoyment, serenity, and the beauty of nature. Yet, it's just a stones throw to all the action! Carlsbad's best beach, Tamarack, is right out front. It is a sandy beach with lifeguards (summer only), restrooms, and showers. The Village is one mile away, with many restaurants, cafes, icecream, gift shops, and boutiques. A shopper's delight awaits at the Carlsbad Company Stores outlet mall, a 5 minute drive. The lagoon (just to the south and east of the property) offers fishing, exploring, jet skiing, and sailing. Many guests love to simply relax in the ocean breezes, enjoying the sunshine and views from the yard and patios, dining outside, and letting the kids or pets play safely in the yard.
