The property was nice and clean. Everything worked properly and only a short walk to the beach. The host, Bob, was great at communicating before hand and was very nice when we arrived. I highly recommend this property.

This is a great place to stay. Tight quarters but very well maintained and we really enjoyed the laundry accommodations as well as the beach gear (chairs, wagon, umbrellas, etc.). It’s a 3 min walk to the beach and Carlsbad is now my favorite San Diego beach town.

Best weekend!
We had the most lovely weekend! The cottage is perfect. Quiet yet close to everything. We had meals outside and walked to the beach every day. The cottageś beds were super comfy and the linens were super nice. The kitchen is perfectly outfitted. Trips to the beach with beach chairs and towels and even games. Thank you Bob!

Perfect location for our getaway
Our family came to celebrate my sons 8th birthday with some time at the beach and legoland. This home was exactly the right location, just enough room for all of us, and walking distance to the beach and amazing restaurants! Will definitely stay again

Lovely cottage close to the beach
Lovely cottage behind the owners home. Perfect for being close to the beach. My family and I had a very nice time. Typo on the amenities there is no a/c as listed. Can get a little warm and noisy when sleeping with the windows open.

Excellent location, updated interior, nice owners, and quiet!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was close to beach access and the owners provided all of the essential beach gear. We couldn't have found a better place to stay for our family get away.

Super location. Everything you need.
Bob and Sue have stocked this place with everything you need. Washer/dryer, microwave, dishwasher, cable TV, wifi, full size fridge and plenty of fresh linens. The location is fantastic; walk to beach or downtown. Quaint, quiet location for small family or 2-3 people.

Perfect location; great for kids
We loved the low key feel of Carlsbad and this little beach house. The location was great for what we needed- a couple days at the beach, a day at Legoland, and a day in SD at the zoo. We had our two little ones with us and recommend this house for a family. Our kids are 6 and 3 and they loved the bunkbeds and being 250ft from such a great beach made getting back and forth a breeze. The house was nicely equipped and had lots of beach toys and chairs. The beach is really wonderful and the access is just a short walk from the house. The beach is huge, clean, and has a bathroom and beach shower. A decent Italian restaurant is around the corner and a drive to downtown Carlsbad was less than 5 minutes, Catholic Church was also about 5 min away, as was a nice grocery.
We'd love to come back!
