Oceanviews, Steps to the Sand, Short Walk to the Village! A/C

Very clean!

This property worked well for me and my preschooler. It was an easy walk to the beach and a short drive to Legoland. Everything was clean upon my arrival with no maintenance issues encountered. Carlsbad was great to stay in. The area where the rental is located has a bit of the small town feel but is only a short drive from all of the amenities I needed.

While the initial booking indicated which of the three units I had reserved, the check-in information did not specify unit number. I didn't have a good enough signal to load the original booking, which meant that I had to drive to a place where I got a signal to verify that information. I'm not sure if that's an issue with VRBO or the listing, but it seems like a simple fix. Pros: The unit was clean and well-appointed and you can't beat the location. Garage parking was a nice perk. Onsite laundry was convenient.Cons: I got dropped from work Zoom calls multiple times because the wifi cut out intermittently, separate from a carrier outage that happened while I was there. At one point a fuse tripped and disabled the garage doors. The circuit panel was in another unit, so I had to wait for those occupants to come home to reset the system. Also, there's no soundproofing between the garages below and the unit, which means that any time someone comes or goes, the whole unit vibrates. Weirdly, it seemed like someone was coming and going between 1-6 AM on a regular basis, which makes for a disrupted night's sleep.

Nice one bedroom condo. The update/remodel is pretty decent. The double sink in the bathroom is not needed, not enough counter space to set anything on. The beds are uncomfortable. If I owned this place the first thing that I would do is replace the mattress. Every thing else is good. The beach chairs and boogey boards and ice chest that they provide are a nice addition. The AC worked good. The beach is very easy to walk to, about 100 yards away. It is upstairs with garage below.
