This tranquil escape located in the heart of charming Carlsbad was, without question, our favorite place we've stayed on vacation. The home was so well appointed with all the amenities needed, including a full kitchen with loads of kitchen supplies, a wagon and beach supplies for fun days in the sand, a peaceful and serene private courtyard with fire pit and outdoor shower, and the proximity to the beach and downtown Carlsbad couldn't be beat. The icing on the cake is the host, Jim. He's incredibly responsive, kind, accommodating, and seems to have 'never known a stranger'. Jim, thank you again for everything. We are excited to become repeat guests!
