#3. We are in a SAFE location, on a QUIET residential neighborhood with little traffic.

#4. We have a beautifully landscaped grassy yard looking out to the ocean. Enjoy the ocean while dining on the patio, sunbathing in the yard, or sitting around the fire pit with a beverage at sunset.

#5. We are dog friendly.

#6. We are NOT on a noisy street with lots of traffic, or next to a bar with live music, a restaurant, or apartments with loud parties at night.

#7. We are close to everything! 10 minutes to Legoland; 30 minutes to Seaward; 35 minutes to San Diego Zoo; 45 minute to Wild Animal Park; 1:15 hour to Disneyland;

Your home-away-from home at the beach is fully equipped, and features lovely views of the ocean, with plenty of outdoor space for the children to play and the adults to relax.

Pelicans, egrets, seagulls, and great blue herons will point the way as you follow the short and easy scenic trail from the property to the beach (about a block-and-a-half).

In the evening, enjoy the view of the magnificent sunset over the Pacific and the graceful flight of many sea birds, while you cook dinner on the grill. If you've brought children, there's plenty of room for them to play, and you can relax knowing they are safe in the yard.

Stroll, bike, or rollerblade a few blocks up the coast to the "village" for lunch. Explore the small shops, boutiques, antique stores and cafes. There are many excellent restaurants, and If you in the mood for romantic evening out, one of Carlsbad's best ocean view restaurants is just three blocks from your home.

Carlsbad Premium Outlets mall - a five minute drive away - is a shopper's paradise. But remember to save some energy for tomorrow . . .

Definitely the BEST location!
Absolutely loved this property. We spent most of our time outside relaxing in the yard - sometimes around the fire pit. We also loved walking the trail system that circles the lagoon that is right by the property. The house had everything we needed and was well appointed. I had trouble opening the door - my fault! and the host responded very promptly. No other issues at all. The most relaxing trip. I am already trying to see when we can come back. Thank you!!

Affordable slice of paradise
Everything was as advertised. Even better in person. We had a great time and enjoyed the yard and the location is only a 25 minute walk to the heart of Carlsbad. 5 minute walk to Tamarack beach and with the included parking pass it was perfect for our family of 4. It’s at the end of a dead end street which people do park along the road throughout the day. It doesn’t really interfere with the view and the front yard is landscaped very well so it feels very cozy and private. It was quiet even on cinco de mayo holiday. As far as the home goes we kept all the windows open and the breeze was perfect. Big mirrors in the bedrooms and has good hot water for showering and kitchen was fully stocked and clean. TV was nice for evening movies and even though we didn’t use the fire pit or grill it was nice to have. We will definitely look into staying here again. Neighbors were quiet snd there are so many trees and shrubs covering the property it felt super private. We loved it however the main queen bed was very firm for us. Depends on your liking…

Gorgeous, private, easy access to beach
Beautiful, well kept home. We enjoyed sitting out in the yard taking in views of the lagoon and ocean and watching happy dogs and their owners start their walks down the trail. House had everything we needed and we would definitely stay here again!

Great place, great view
We loved the location overlooking the lagoon (and ocean beyond) and being steps away from a hiking trail. The house was clean, comfortable and had great amenities (like the outdoor fireplace and outdoor seating). We would stay here again!

Amazing views
This is a great property. We loved the view of the ocean every morning and evening. It was very close to the beach, and we walked most of the time. The drive was 2 minutes and easy also. The BBQ was very nice and easy to use so it made outdoor dinners the thing to do. I would recommend bringing an extension cord so you can plug into the outlet in the main bedroom. My phone cord was too short. I also thought the main bed was on the harder side, but I like soft beds so it’s really an individual preference. We loved our stay and would absolutely love to stay here again!

Great location. Our little dog loved the fenced in yard and the lagoon path that starts out the front door. Outdoor space with gas firepit, bbq, table with umbrella and lounge chairs madee for relaxing afternoons. Amazing lagoon and ocean views. Hope to return.

This small home is truly walking distance to the beach and the boardwalk into Carlsbad. It is on a cul de sac, so very quiet, except for the few sounds from the passing trains.
