Spacious Beach Residence w Backyard Pond & Hot Tub
Alexander's place was the perfect California get away for our family vacation! The location was awesome just a short walk from the beach. The backyard was so big for California and great for our dogs. It had a lot of seating and a hot tub which was perfect! Alexander was very responsive throughout our stay. There is a train right behind the Airbnb that used it's horn loudly multiple times a day and until about 11 which was very clearly listed in the listing but if you are sensitive to noise it might bother you. We had no issues with the train.

Modern Coastal Farmhouse - steps to the beach
Mimi’s beach house is exactly what our family wanted and needed for the week. The walkability to Carlsbad Village, how easy it was to go for a run along the beach every morning, its proximity to the beach - it was perfectly located. And then the house itself was wonderful - clean, had a fire pit for smores / an evening outside, beds were super comfortable. Will def be back again!

Sunny Carlsbad Home I Walk to Beach w/ Heated Pool
Great place! Especially if traveling with kids. Very clean and has all the comforts of home. The yard is a bonus for letting little ones play. Mari was helpful and accommodating and easy to communicate with. My family was actually set to stay at another one of their properties but at the last minute, (and due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control), we were unable to stay at the original booking. But Mari was quick to reach out to me and was very helpful at getting us booked at another location. Definitely recommend and would stay again!

Lovely Coastal Cottage near Carlsbad beaches
Robin was a great hostess. She was extremely responsive but we didn' really need to communicate with her ince we were checked in. The cottage was a beautiful little space that was perfect for my two older parents. The area was quiet, off set from the main street but still close enough (5-15mins) to groceries, shopping and the beach. The cottage has plenty of ameneties for your stay and 1 spot for parking.

Ocean Views,Rooftop Deck,Fire Pit,Game Room,AC
Anthony's place was great! He and Amanda were super communicative and the place was easy to get into and was exactly as described. We had a great stay. If you are unfamiliar with the Carlsbad area, as we are, there are a couple of helpful things to know: - there is quite a bit of street noise as the home is directly on the street across from the Pacific. - the beach directly across the street from the house is at the bottom of a bluff - there are quite a few stairs to climb down in order to reach the beach/water. - there is no beach across the street at high tide - the water comes all the way up to the bluff - there are great beaches about a half mile either direction from the home that are easier to access. None of this would have changed our decision to stay, but would've been good to know if we were more familiar with the area. Overall great stay, at the home was very well laid out for my elderly Mother with all amenities on the first floor and not stairs to enter the home.

*2 Blocks to Beach, Downtown & Pier w/ Beach Gear*
Lauren’s place was absolutely perfect for our family! You can’t beat the location - easy and quick walk to the beach, tons of restaurants, quick drive to the harbor and Sea World. The home had everything we needed, and was clean and comfortable. We also appreciated the beach supplies and wagon! We highly recommend this place if you are coming to Oceanside and hope to stay here again soon.

Carlsbad Private 1br Cottage - 1 Block from Beach
Traci's place was great, check in was a breeze, instructions were accurate and straightforward. The place was immaculately clean. Kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils, pots, pans, and everything you would need for cooking a meal. The location is great, very short walk to the beach and easy to get to downtown Carlsbad. We never had any trouble finding a parking spot on the street pretty much immediately in front of the property. We would definitely stay here again.

Chateau de Marseille - Luxurious New Two Bedroom
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Bob and Kim's lovely place, and I can't recommend it enough! From the moment i arrived, they were incredibly kind and responsive, making me feel right at home. The atmosphere was so welcoming, and the space was impeccably clean and pristine. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, creating a truly enjoyable environment. I loved my stay and will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you, Bob and Kim, for such a wonderful experience!

Studio - beach, breweries, transport: 15 min walk
It is a perfect place if you're looking to make a quick trip to Oceanside. We only stayed for a night and half a day, but it was perfect for what we needed, a place to sleep and quick access to downtown to attend celebrations with friends. Betsy was super communicative and friendly, no issues whatsoever.

Cute, clean private studio. Close to the beach!
We had a great stay! Dave and Sharon are wonderful hosts who helped us with lots of tips. Communication was very quick and easy. We can recommend the apartment and would definitely come back.

💜 THE NEST 💜
We were in town to help family move. The Nest was a peaceful, comfortable place to rest each evening after moving boxes all day. It was just what we needed.

Large one bedroom with golf course views -203
Rented this airbnb for my 70 year old mother in law who was visiting family in the area. She said the airbnb was perfect - clean, easily accessible, everything you’d need and more.

Luxurious La Costa Condo!
I've had multiple stays at Rick and Robyn's place, there's a reason I continue to book with them. Love the condo, sleek and modern, yet incredibly comfortable. Highly recommend

Carlsbad Paradise - Beach and Legoland nearby
Our son was the primary guest at this property while he interned at a local law office. We were able to leave him and return to Texas feeling very comfortable with his accommodations. Location was perfect, centrally located, close to village dining and shopping as well as walk to the beach. He enjoyed his time and looks forward to another visit. Thank you so much for the amazing communication and well kept property.

Seaview Sunset - Close to beaches & restaurants!
We stayed at Christie’s apartment for two stays during a one week trip. Both stays were overall pleasant . Very nice view from the front balcony where you are able to see both the ocean and sunset, you are also able to hear the waves crash at night. Nice interior with plenty of space for two remote workers. Nice coffee shops within a walkable distance for lunch breaks and just a 5 minute walk to the beach. There were also many great restaurants within a few minutes drive of the apartment and a mall in Carlsbad 15 minutes away with many retailers. The only issue I ran into with our stays is one neighbor two houses down was rather hostile towards parking near her property, although it’s public street parking. Overall, I would stay again, I would just make it a point to park on the other side of the road.

Relaxing Private Condo in La Costa, Carlsbad
I loved the location, we could walk to coffee in the morning. A few great food options are close. The kitchen was fully equipped for anyone wanting to cook, we didn't because the food choices were too good in the area.

The Sunshine House. Location, Location, Ocean.
Me and my girlfriend had a great stay. We would definitely stay again and it’s a great little place to stay at very cozy. We really enjoyed our stay and recommend it to anyone. Very close to the beach and many restaurants.

Hottest Neighborhood! Walk to Beach!
Nick was a great host! He let us check in early to get settled, was communicative and helpful, and the apartment was everything we were looking for. I loved the location as it is very close to downtown Oceanside while still in a peaceful neighborhood. I felt very secure with the courtyard and loved the coffee shop right across the street. I would recommend staying here and plan on staying here again the next time we come down!

The Coast Getaway
A wonderful condo in the Omi resort.Has everything you need , fully stocked .great views out of the 2 sliders .A Walkable area in the resort and a lagoon and beaches not faraway. I enjoyed the walks in the resort and the restaurant.

#4, Ocean View- One Bedroom Condo at the Beach
We had a fantastic stay in unit 4! You absolutely cannot beat the location and having parking included is incredibly convenient. The unit itself looked just like the pictures and it was very clean. We enjoyed having a full kitchen as we visited the farmers market on State Street (open on Wednesday afternoons) and purchased snacks and items to make breakfast each morning. We're already planning our next trip back and will book this location!!

Robyns Resort Nest & Spa Wash/Dryer
We really enjoyed staying at Robyn’s condo! It is in a nice spot close to the beach and there is a beautiful view from the balcony. It was great to be able to access the hot tub and pool, we had it to ourselves both nights! Robyn was very responsive and helpful, we definitely recommend staying here.

Steps to Beach and Dining - Carlsbad Village Condo
Comfortable, clean, and safe, with responsive and friendly hosts! A short walk to the beach, shopping, restaurants and night life. Highly recommend and will book again in the future!
