Lisa B. | May 2025
Loved this little place, clean and close to everything . Beach was clean.
Rhonda H. | Apr 2025
The location and cleanliness were the highlights for our trip. Definitely recommend this place and look forward to coming back. Parking was pretty easy for majority of our trip. A lot of great places within walking distance for food, shopping and can’t beat being right on the beach. The gate leading to the front door and desk doesn’t require a code so I would recommend not leaving personal belongings on the deck and closings all windows when you’re not there because someone walked in and tried opening the windows while we were inside and took off when they realized we were still inside. We let the host know in our property review so hopefully it can be prevented in the future.

Carlsbad is known as the Flower Capital of the U.S. for its Giant Tecolote Ranunculus fields, which pop into stunning bloom in March, but that’s just the beginning of what this town has to offer. An affluent beach village with a beautiful coastline, the town is also a hot spot for foodies, families, and surfers. Its most notable surf beach is Tamarack Surf Beach, while South Carlsbad State Beach offers a quieter and secluded feel. 

If you’re traveling with kids, make sure to visit Legoland for rides and games, as well as a stop at Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park, which houses gorgeous free-roaming peacocks. Laze the day away at the beach, grab lunch at a taco stand, tour the Sea Life Aquarium, and visit the village flea market. All the fun awaits with Carlsbad beach rentals.
