Recent Carlsbad guest reviews

Owners have really thought of everything. Excellent stay. Home had everything we wanted in our stay once we had a minute or two to look around I find the things we were looking for. The shower experience in the master bathroom was second to none. Falling asleep to the ocean waves is very therapeutic. Heavy fog most days we were there, but that's Carlsbad in January for you. The hot tub took the chill out of the fog in a few seconds. Top notch stove and cooking supplies. Didn't use the fire pit in the front yard, but it looked fun. Board games and DVD's aplenty. No one was bored on this trip. Pool table--though not quite full size--was excellent quality and provided hours of entertainment. You could see a woman's touch AND a man's touch in the decorating as well.

The house had a great view and beach access. The interior of the home was old. Because of this, you can hear your neighbors all night.

This place is very nice and right on the beach in a great neighborhood. Had a great visit.

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.
