Nightmare Stay in “Luxury” Rental
Our dismay with this unit started the minute we opened the “Upper Unit” door. The sectional was filthy, the barstools were ripping apart, the stools on the main floor deck were broken and had pieces hanging off. The main AC vent was rusted and corroding, the filth in the Master was unbelievable. We had to clean the ceiling fan before we could turn it on. The window in the second bathroom was broken and stuck open. This made the noise from construction next door impossible to escape. There was a shared door, with another room upstairs (that we were never told about) that we could NOT LOCK OURSELVES. This place is as NOT as advertised, and definitely not a luxury unit. Haystay Vacation Rentals did nothing but offer a superficial cleaning. They never came to repair the window (after admitting via text they knew it was broken). They also never came to fix the outdoor furniture that was unusable.We bought sheets to cover the sectional. We’ve been vacationing in Carlsbad for 25 years. This was, by FAR, our worst experience. Haustay Vacation Rentals is now ghosting us. They ruined a very important vacation,that our grown kids traveled thousands of miles to get to, to help us celebrate a big anniversary and birthday. Our only time together as a family for the year, was ruined. Renter BEWARE.

Great house/location. Property was clean and communication with host easy/painless. Overall great rental. Construction noise next door is present, but will only bother you if you are a late sleeper. Driveway to parking in rear can be a little challenging if you have a big vehicle/truck.

Great property - construction next door was very noisy
We stay in Carlsbad every year and usually use Vrbo. The property manager informed us a week before our stay that there’s construction next door. No time to change my trip or get a refund. Mon-Fri at 7 am sharp it was super loud up until 4.
We would have not booked this property if this was disclosed to us.
Mornings were just awful in this place.
We love the town and location but not the early wake up. Morning coffee on the balcony was also a no go.
We expect better from VRBO and we expect some form of refund or credit toward our next stay. We paid ~$10k for the week and didn’t have an experience consistent with what we paid.

Simply the Best!
If you’re looking for a great place to stay in Carlsbad, look no further. This home is the best! Best location. Best view. Best when it comes to cleanliness. Best when it comes to bedding and towels. You’ll find only the best quality linens here. Our family, ranging in age from 16 months to 72 years old, enjoyed everything about this rental. The kitchen is gorgeous and has everything you need. Just add your groceries and you’re good to go. The kids loved the upper deck and making s’mores every night. Access to the beach is easy-pesey. I simply cannot say enough good things about this home. We’ve been renting through VRBO for over 10 years and this has become our favorite! Thank you Nick for sharing your lovely home with us!

Spring Break Win!
We truly enjoyed Carlsbad! The home was perfect for our family. The full size soaps in all the bathrooms, dish soap, laundry pods, Diana washer soap, extra rolls of toilet paper and paper towel where an A+ addition.
Home was pretty clean, baseboards and corners could use some extra attention but high touch areas were clean. Plenty of towels and trash bags for the entire week.
Communication and check in/out was a breeze. Would stay here again if our travels bring us back.
