Stayed here for a project within the city; we didn’t venture out much, but all of the desired amenities are within this home! The house was clean and tastefully decorated, and beds were comfy.

AshleyRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This place was great for a girls weekend. Shops and restaurants right across the street. Main busy street of Ocean Beach and the beach itself was a 10 min walk. Ramona was super nice and accommodating. The pull out sofa in one of the bedrooms was very uncomfortable for one of the guests though so they ended up sleeping on the couch which was better. Would stay here again and again!

KatieRating, 5 stars6 days ago

This rental was really beautiful and well taken care of. It is evident that Wyatt was very intentional about the amenities in the home - from the child gate at the top of the stairs to the beach equipment he left available to use. We felt very comfortable and loved how close we were to the beach and to the shops in Carlsbad. Wyatt is also super responsive. Definitely an excellent experience deserving of 5 stars!

We had a great time! The location was short walk to the beach, Starbucks (bonus) 😉 and several restaurants and stores. We rented the beach cruisers and rode along the boardwalk and also on the bay side (perfect if you want less crowded spot) . Everything was organized and easy to find, clean and cozy. Definitely would stay again. 😊👍🏼
