Perfect tropical beach getaway

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 80 reviews2 months ago

This place worked well for us! However, if you are looking for beach access and/or ocean views - this is not the place. Since this place is located east of I-5, you are miles from the beach. And this place offers privacy, but absolutely no ocean views. It wasn't a deal-breaker for us but it may be for you.

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 165 reviews6 months ago

This is such a beautiful home, I already want to go back! The walk to the beach was easy and so close. The privacy of the outdoor seating area was really nice. Kitchen was clean and spotless and the beds were incredibly comfortable! The water pressure in the showers wasn’t very strong, but everything else was perfect. Would absolutely stay again! Oh, and the hosts were very responsive throughout the stay when I had any questions!

Stunning Ocean Beach Gem - has everything!

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 153 reviews1 week ago

Really enjoyed this stay! Didn't know much about ocean beach beforehand so was pleasantly surprised! Lots of places very walkable from airbnb which was awesome. Also, having a parking spot ended up being so convenient. There is a lot of noise from the airplanes and I can be sensitive to light/noise but found myself being able to sleep soundly. I appreciated hosts being upfront about these things in listing so I could accurately choose this place. Would definitely stay again!

Extremely responsive management. Proactively reached out to check us in early. Charming house right on the water, you can dip in the ocean during low tide (or high tide if you're adventurous!). Enjoyed every bit of our stay and would definitely go again. 10/10 would recommend

Amazing place to stay. Spotless, looked exactly like the pictures and the views of the bay was so nice. The location was perfect. Went with my wife and our two children. Everything was very close to us. We went to the zoo, Little Italy, Belmont Park and even I took a run around the bay. Highly recommended this place to stay.

Private Carlsbad lagoon getaway. Stunning escape.

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 119 reviews1 month ago

Eldein is the perfect host, welcoming, friendly, easy to talk to, available to ask any questions or get any extra supplies. It felt like we were staying with a friend. His hospitality and generosity was truly heart-warming. One of us got sick during our stay and he went out of his way to help make us feel comfortable. This was our first time staying in Carlsbad and it’s a great location to explore the area all the way to San Diego. So many great places to visit and dine at in the area. His place was a great home away from home for our visit. Eldein’s place is located on a beautiful street, it feels safe and peaceful while being close to all the area’s attractions.

Private Coastal Villa steps 2 beach

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 186 reviews1 month ago

We had such a wonderful stay—this Airbnb was absolutely perfect for our family of four (two adults and two young kids, ages 5 and 6). The house was spotless, comfortable, and incredibly well stocked. We arrived to fresh flowers and snacks, which was such a warm and thoughtful welcome. Everything we needed was already there—from a fully equipped kitchen to beach chairs, towels, and even toys for the kids. The backyard was a huge bonus—beautifully maintained and a great space for the kids to run around and play. We loved starting our mornings with a short walk to Leucadia Donut Shop, which is a truly special little spot. Just Peachy Market at the end of the street had everything we needed, and we also enjoyed walking to Fish 101, Haggo’s Tacos, and Bump Coffee—all fantastic. Moonlight Beach ended up being a favorite for the kids, but the beaches that were walkable from the house were stunning and less crowded. I absolutely adored Leucadia and this Airbnb.
