Steps to the Ocean+Village Beach Home w Hot Tub 🏖

Bungalow-style beach home with outside hot tub jacuzzi only steps to a wonderful beach with perfect sand, available bathrooms, and showers. Short walk to the wonderfully charming Carlsbad Village with plenty of shops and restaurants! Surf it up, visit Legoland and the world-famous flower fields, or take a day trip to San Diego and Sea World! There's plenty to do all around, and even more if you're staying longer and willing to drive up to Orange County or LA.

PERMIT #BLRE010683

The space:
- 3 private bedrooms
- Solar panels to completely power the house
- Ice cold AC!
- 3-4 person hot tub jacuzzi
- Beach necessities: towels, umbrella, chairs, kid's toys, bodyboards

Designed to perfection with an authentic beach-living vibe! 3Bd/2.5Ba with an office area, large kitchen/family room combo with TV, original wood plank flooring, on an oversized lot (7243 SF) with a private, quiet, tropical yard, with a huge covered patio to dine at, take a dip in the jacuzzi hot tub and relax - feels like paradise! The garden area is the coziest place in the world after a day at the beach.

Other things to note
Driveway parking for 3. There is an additional 1 bedroom guesthouse on the 2nd floor with its own bath and kitchen. For the time being, it is being rented out long-term to a working professional. The right parking spot on the lot is reserved for the tenant. You shouldn’t have any privacy issues as the guesthouse has a separate entrance along the side of the home, with the stairs leading upstairs outside in the backyard to the side. The two spaces are not connected internally, and the yard is private for guests of the large house only. There has never been a privacy issue or concern from our many past guests!

Up to 2 pets are allowed with a $250 pet fee.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area.

Our best VRBO experience yet!

The home is in the perfect location we rode our bikes down to the beach multiple times a day! only 2 min bike ride, 5 min walk just a few blocks away! they have all the beach gear you need. The house was very clean upon arrival and stocked with everything!We tracked with two children and it was very spacious had high chair and pack and okay accommodations. The backyard is the most beautiful oasis and we enjoyed relaxing in the horrible every night! The host was very accommodating and great at communicating as well as organized and had so many wonderful recommendations for restaurants and things to do! We have stayed in many VRBOs and this was by far our best experience! the train is loud but that's everywhere if you are staying close to the ocean. bring sound machine ear plugs etc to help. It didn't bother us much. Wouldn't change a thing. such a wonderful experience! can't wait to come back!

Best weekend EVER

Was looking for a nice, relaxing, place to stay near a beach for a weekend to destress from life. Alex’s place is by far the nicest VRBO I have ever stayed in. The backyard is an oasis, the house is SOOO nice, clean, love the layout. Brought my puppy along who equally loved the place as well especially the gorgeous backyard. I will absolutely be looking to book this place again! Thank you again Alex, wouldn’t change a thing =D

Tamarack beach house was exactly as described in the listing. As noted by other guests, the backyard was fabulous: spacious, lush and very private. The rental was just a short walk to the beach, immaculate, with plush amenities, comfy beds, and a very well-equipped kitchen. The host was very attentive, but not at all intrusive. Hope to return!

Fall break 2024

We had a wonderful stay Alex was great. His instructions were spot on. The home had lots of space for our entire family. There were six of us two dogs. The backyard worked out great for them. The spa was a delight after coming back from the beach. Make sure you clean your feet and all sand off and then it works out great. We stayed a week and it was awesome. Actually we probably will be back next year.. We couldn’t ask for anything else the home worked out great. We will be back. Oct. 6 thru 13 2024.

Our stay was wonderful! The house was very nice, three large bedrooms, nice big kitchen, the bathroom was nice and the beds were super comfy. We had seven people for Friendsgiving and we had everything we needed to cook. The house is just down the street from a beautiful beach that has a parking lot. Owners are very nice and very responsive. Would definitely recommend!

Carlsbad Near the Sea

House was clean and well equipped. Located on a street with an I-5 exit. Easy access but a bit more traffic. The third bedroom seemed bright in the morning so a sleep mask might be a good idea. Short walk to the beach. Tolerable walk into town if one is in good shape. Good place for a family get together. No complaints about the house.

The property was perfect for my family of five and two dogs. It has a lush backyard that was perfect to relax in. The location was just a short walk from a beach spot that was great for surfing and swimming. Downtown was also close with either a five minute drive, 10 min bike ride or 25 walk.

FABULOUS

I stayed here with my 4 adult kids and my parents (in their 80's) joined us for a part of our stay as well. The home is great and has everything you need! I was worried it would not really be close enough to walk to the beach but it definitely is. My parents walked as well. Alex was quick to respond to any questions I had and was very nice and helpful My only critique would be the extra roll away beds are twins. My (big) kids would have liked some bigger beds, but that is no fault of the home! I could have brought an air mattress but didn't. There is lots of floor space. The AC works really well! The backyard and jacuzzi were wonderful. I would definitely stay again!!

Perfect Family Spot

I can't say enough wonderful things about this rental. Truly one of the best houses we've stayed in. The beach was the easiest of walks for both grandparents and our young children (ages 6 and under). We also walked into the village for breakfast one time. It was a longer walk (google said 25min), but you walk along the coastal rail paved trail and it is a very lovely walk. The house is comfortable and the back garden is SPECTACULAR. Rent this house, do it, you will not be sorry.
