This residence was perfect for our 3 night stay with our pet. The location is top notch and the whole place was well stocked. We hung out on the front porch alot and enjoyed walking into the village for coffee and doughnuts. You must go to The Goods for their doughnuts. We would definitely stay here again.

This was our second time staying at this location in Carlsbad. So quick and easy to walk to the beach and this house has everything you’d need. I always bring my own frying pan when I travel through VRBO. I could have left it home. With 4 kids we cooked and had everything we needed. Grocery store is close and many restaurants if you like eating out. The kids loved playing in the backyard and the separate sleeping/ TV quarters kept the house quiet for Grandma and grandpa.

My family and I stayed at the house for 4 days. The location was ideal. Very close to the beach! The house is in a great neighborhood, was very clean and inviting! While we were there we used the bikes and a few other items provided by the host. They literally had everything you would need to make your stay enjoyable so if you forget to pack it, don't worry it will most likely be at the house ready for you to use. If I plan another trip to the Carlsbad area I would DEFINATELY choose to stay at this house again.

Carlsbad bungalow stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Carlsbad. The house had everything a beach goer could want or need and with the beach only a short walk away it doesn’t get much better. The kids loved the back bedroom and backyard. We really loved the large master bedroom, with an extremely comfortable bed. I felt like I was at home.

Yes the property was pet friendly and kitchen was well stocked. The location was good. To call the 3rd bedroom a bedroom is a stretch..no direct access to house or bathroom, and was in fair condition. The house had a musty smell, although the bathrooms were clean. For the cost I would not rent this one again.
