We spent a week here and wished it was longer. So many great features. Spent lots of time on the spacious deck. Very clean inside and fully stocked. Seriously - anything you need is here. The beach chairs and umbrella made our day on the sand perfect. Communication with the host was excellent. The location is amazing! We walked to almost everything. We’ll book again first chance we get.

The location and property was perfect for my family's needs. The home was clean, had all the amenities that I needed especially when having young children, and you could not ask for a better location with a view! When returning to Carlsbad I will stay here again without question.

The property was just as advertised. Walking distance to beach and town. It was very clean and all the equipment from kitchen appliances, utensils, linens were of top quality. Host was very easy to reach and responded to our questions speedily. We stayed for 2 months and were supplied with paper products, cleaning supplies and coffee for the entire time. We would highly recommend this property and will hope to stay there again should we return to the San Diego area. The weather was a little cooler than we had hoped for January and February.

We had a fantastic stay at this property in Carlsbad! The location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach and close to great restaurants in Carlsbad. The home was very clean and beautifully maintained, with a spacious deck with an ocean view. Perfect for relaxing or dining outside.
The house was fully equipped with all the amenities we could need, from kitchen supplies, coffee pods, to comfortable bedding. We felt right at home. The host, Dennis, was incredibly responsive and helpful with any questions we had during our stay. Thank you, Dennis!
We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a beach getaway with a great location, fantastic views, nearby restaurants, and all the comforts of home!

This place was amazing!! So amazing we already booked for next year. It’s so close to the beach and has all the beach equipment you would ever need. Dennis has gone above and beyond stocking his place. It’s cozy and safe.

This is as a very cute and clean condo, with everything you need. Dennis the host is very helpful if you have any questions. The neighborhood is very safe and pleasant. It is only a couple minutes to the ocean. People are walking and enjoying the weather constantly. Carlsbad the town was quaint and cute with delightful residents. We hope to stay here again.

The home was wonderful, with comfy living room furniture and beds (although they are very soft, we still slept well!) The bedding is wonderful, and there are thick bath towels. The air con was greatly appreciated, as a few days it really got hot upstairs, even with all the windows open. Loved walking to the beach every morning for our daily exercise and peaceful, ocean sounds. We've already booked two weeks next year. We were pleasantly surprised to have a bottle of wine awaiting for us! What a nice touch. Thank you Dennis!

Fantastic location for easy and close beach access, and walkable to Carlsbad Village. Patio deck provides a great view of the beach and plenty of seating options. Love that it’s in a quiet neighborhood as well. Beds were comfy, lots of towels for beach and in house use. Had beach chairs, umbrellas and a wagon. Well stocked kitchen too! Will be first option if we return to Carlsbad!

We have stayed at this property now a handful of times and have never been disappointed. Dennis is a wonderful host. The property is clean and has all of the necessary amenities that we look for in a vacation. The outside deck is a huge bonus for this property. We eat breakfast there and dinner there and read and stare at the ocean and have a wonderful relaxing experience.
8.0 / 10.0
This property is exceptional for its location and the massive 2nd story deck with ocean view! I spent every morning reading and having coffee and breakfast out on the deck while taking in the breeze and ocean view. At night, there is a great fire pit to hang out with a glass of wine. The unit is well stocked and the host is very attentive. The bedrooms could use some updating, particularly the mattresses and carpeting, but other than that the place is great.

Thank you Dennis for an amazing place to stay and for being such a great host! My husband and I stayed a week and enjoyed sitting on the deck looking at the ocean and people watching. The house is so nice and clean and comfortable! I could live there😁
I loved it so much and can’t wait to come back!

We loved the location, with the beaches and the Village all within short walking distance. We also loved the large deck and the nice views. When I texted the host Dennis about a problem with the coin-operated dryer, he was super responsive and got right on it by coming over in person and fixing the problem himself. He even gave us a roll of quarters for the inconvenience. I wish all hosts were like him! We would not hesitate to return

Can’t say enough good things about this vacation rental. It is located in an incredible spot just steps from the beach and the Carlsbad village. Our family took advantage of the easy access and the easy access gave us so much opportunity to enjoy the area. The condo is so well appointed and features everything you will need and more. The setup, furnishings, tvs and overall setup was perfect for relaxing at home. The large deck and view was also a an amazing amenity. Stay here and like all the people before us you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Dennis!!!

This house was great, the owner thought of everything. We have stayed at many places in CA and this was the best overall place we have found. We love the beach, surfing, and just watching the ocean and we were close to all.
10.0 / 10.0
My family and I were very impressed with the preparations made for our stay. The apartment was immaculately clean. As has been mentioned before, everything you need is there and well stocked. We have stayed in rentals where the photography looked much better than the rental. Dennis' place is the real deal. Called Dennis for an issue, and he answered immediately and was going to come over and check it, but I cancelled it as it wasn't an issue at all. All in all, it was great.

This was a great property/condo for our stay. We loved our very large deck from which we had a front row seat to view the Pacific Ocean. So happy our daughter in law found this place for us. Would highly recommend to anyone.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this rental. It was so well stocked with all the essentials. We loved watching the sunset over the ocean from the deck while sitting around the fire pit. A perfect setting with the ocean a stone’s throw away and a short walk to great restaurants and stores. We hope to be back next year. Thank you Dennis for being a great host.

Dennis's apartment was perfect for our family vacation. We spent a lot of time on the huge deck watching sunsets and grilling. The property is in a great location close to restaurants, a fantastic beach right across the road and much needed air-conditioning that kept us cool during the recent heatwave. We would love to come back one day.

Best relaxing trip ever!
Best relaxing trip ever!
This home-away-from home has been Very nicely updated! It looks even better than it did before, and we loved how it looked before! We especially appreciated the new pots n pans and Keurig as we stayed for 2 weeks and cooked at home most meals. We just bring our clothes, a few games to play, several books and buy food after we get there. You' ll find beach chairs, a boogie board in the garage below - I saw a surfboard down there as well. The unit is fully stocked, and has cable TV with most any channel you'd want. You can be on the boardwalk that oversees the ocean in less than 5 minutes. I drank many a cup of coffee at that boardwalk rail. Did I mention the deck? Best part of the stay! We parked The lounge chairs by the see-through wall and spent hours reading and looking at the ocean and passerbys. I was unable to give more than 5 stars!!! The owner, Dennis is very attentive, and will help ensure your stay is Great!

We love this place
this was our second year with a10 day October visit. We have kids and grandkids in Carlsbad and the big deck here is a magnet for them all--especially with Covid. The Tiki bar is a big hit with 5 and 9 year old granddaughters. Fire pit a big hit with us all. Some of the furnishings are getting a little tired, but the location and the very large deck make this place a winner for us.

We LOVED this property AND Dennis was one of the best hosts we’ve ever experienced! We have stayed in and around the Carlsbad/Oceanside area several times over the last 4 years (have children in the Marines) and this property’s location and DECK are by far, our favorite. Will definitely stay again on our future visits.
Thanks Dennis; Marty says good luck with those pesky contractors and remember he’s always available. Lol!!!
