South O Retreat - Steps to Beach & Local Vibes

MeechelleRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Great location with several other Airbnbs in the same complex. The unit was just as described—clean and close to both the beach and nearby restaurants, which made things super convenient. The space itself was clean and comfortable. The only things worth noting are that the bathroom water pressure and sink flow were a bit low, and you can hear some noise from neighboring units. That said, it wasn’t a major issue for our stay. It may have been a bit pricier than other options we considered, but we booked last minute, so that’s understandable. Overall, it was a good stay and a convenient spot that had all the bare essentials.

Carlsbad Paradise - Beach and Legoland nearby

JenniferRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We loved our 3-night (couple’s) stay at this quaint and cute apartment! Joel and Heather were both very quick to respond and offered good recommendations. It’s within walkable distance to the Carlsbad Village and Beach, which were our top priorities. Loved it and strongly recommend!

Relaxing Private Condo in La Costa, Carlsbad

AngelicaRating, 5 stars7 months ago
I loved the location, we could walk to coffee in the morning. A few great food options are close. The kitchen was fully equipped for anyone wanting to cook, we didn't because the food choices were too good in the area.

Seaview Sunset - Close to beaches & restaurants!

JacobRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We stayed at Christie’s apartment for two stays during a one week trip. Both stays were overall pleasant . Very nice view from the front balcony where you are able to see both the ocean and sunset, you are also able to hear the waves crash at night. Nice interior with plenty of space for two remote workers. Nice coffee shops within a walkable distance for lunch breaks and just a 5 minute walk to the beach. There were also many great restaurants within a few minutes drive of the apartment and a mall in Carlsbad 15 minutes away with many retailers. The only issue I ran into with our stays is one neighbor two houses down was rather hostile towards parking near her property, although it’s public street parking. Overall, I would stay again, I would just make it a point to park on the other side of the road.

Cardiff-by-the-Sea Walking District

JenniferRating, 5 stars3 days ago
I really enjoyed staying here. The hosts were always responsive and helpful. The place was clean and well furnished, quiet and functional. Beds were comfortable, however the pillows were too flat and soft. Recommended getting a variety that guests can choose from. The 2 bedrooms were far enough apart for privacy with the living room in between; I liked that. Lovely restaurants within 10 min walk. Strongly recommend Fish 101 for dinner and Pipes for breakfast. Grocery store was well stocked too. Nice walking trail within 10 min walk and beach access too. Overall a lovely stay, I wish we could have stayed longer to really enjoy the two cute patios. I would definately stay again!

Cardiff Walk to Everything! Beach Retreat + Bikes

CindyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We loved our stay! The place was accurately described and clean. There were nice touches throughout the place and Karin's binder of suggestions for food and activities was extremely helpful - she's done all of the work for you. The outside area is really nice and relaxing. We had bad luck with weather (June gloom!) so we were inside more than we wanted to be so it got a little tight especially with doing the dishes.

Forty feet from Pacific Ocean

DarleneRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We absolutely loved, and would recommend Matthew's vacation rental. We have stayed in Oceanside several times for a quick get away and this lovely location is by far our favorite. We hope we will be able to return in the near future. A parking spot is right in front of the property, Matthew's check in and out instructions are clear and easy to follow, the location cannot be beat, with the ocean and private beach just steps away. The interior has everything you could possibly need, it was clean and well stocked. I personally appreciated the binoculars and decaf coffee. It was wonderful to sit outdoors and watch dolphins, seabirds, surfers, dogs happy to be on the beach, and relax to the sound of the waves. There are many great restaurants nearby, and plenty of activities and places to visit in and around town. The best part was the feeling of being in our own little private sanctuary. Thank you to Matthew for being a fantastic host!

Sunny Carlsbad Home I Walk to Beach w/ Heated Pool

BreRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Great place! Especially if traveling with kids. Very clean and has all the comforts of home. The yard is a bonus for letting little ones play. Mari was helpful and accommodating and easy to communicate with. My family was actually set to stay at another one of their properties but at the last minute, (and due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control), we were unable to stay at the original booking. But Mari was quick to reach out to me and was very helpful at getting us booked at another location. Definitely recommend and would stay again!

Lisa and Menotti have a beautiful beach escape that was perfect for our small group celebrating a birthday. The sliding door and balcony were beautiful and such a nice feature to let in the beach breeze. The house was pristine, comfortable, and so well designed. All amenities you would need. The hosts were super responsive and helpful and accommodated a late check out which allowed us to wake up early and check out low tide in the morning! Definitely will stay again.

Ocean Views,Rooftop Deck,Fire Pit,Game Room,AC

Teresahastings17@Bellsouth.NetRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Anthony was very prompt in responding to any questions we had. He accommodated our specific needs and was helpful with last minute inquiries. Perfect location with spacious, but welcoming environment. Home was stocked with all basic needs so you didn’t immediately need to run out to buy necessities. We also appreciated the art work and decor that isn’t normally in a rental. Loved the fireplace, fire pit, and outdoor entertainment garage. I enjoyed the rooftop desk the most, while the family spread out to the other areas. Wonderful family home with all sad to leave.

Great stay. Plenty of room for a family of four. Very clean with everything you could need. We spend a lot of time enjoying the roof top view. Loved the convenience of the beach toys locker. Enjoyed walks to Harbor Village for fish and chips and breakfast at the Stratford. Sea lions were a fun bonus. Would definitely stay again. Top notch hosts!

We loved this place! The mattress was so comfortable, I literally took the sheets off to see what brand it was. It was nice to have beach stuff ready to borrow for our stay and we loved sitting out on the front porch to eat and watch the waves.

Light and Bright Carlsbad Beach!!

MaribelRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I couldn’t have chosen a better place to visit my son, who is currently serving in the Marines. We were both able to rest deeply in a big, soft, comfortable bed something we hadn’t shared in a long time. The house had everything we needed; if I needed something from the kitchen, it was there. Nothing was missing. I was able to cook for him, we shared a beach day, and for a few days, it felt like we were home again. It was a safe, cozy, and truly special place. I’m deeply grateful for this week and for the joy of spending it with my son. 5 stars without a doubt! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable, safe stay full of heart.
