It's an easy walk to get your feet in the sand, improve your surfing skills or to just enjoy the ocean waves. It's also a brief 20 minute walk from the house to enjoy the restaurants, shopping, pubs / bars and nightlife downtown in the village. If you're looking for a really delicious meal walk to the end of our street and you'll find Vigilucci's Seafood & Steakhouse for a scrumptious meal and glass of wine where you can relax and watch the sunset directly across the street. Looking to stay at home and relax on the porch while watching the sunset after a day at the beach or strolling across the boardwalk or walking around the village? The house is fully equipped for all your cooking needs - including a BBQ and outdoor seating in our huge fully fenced back yard.

This beach bungalow getaway is setup to be casual and comfortable with sleeping for 7.

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.

I enjoyed my stay in this lovely house and so did my two dogs. We took walks to view the beach every day. The backyard was fantastic and my dogs loved it. I had family stop by for dinner and they loved sitting on the front porch. It was very relaxing vacation.

This is without question among the top 3 VRBOs we have ever stayed at. While we have found that some rentals have a sense of scarcity, this was not at all the case at the Bungalow. There is much more a sense of abundance and it is down to the last detail. For example, the towels were nice and fluffy (as opposed to threadbare and worn) and there were plenty of towels provided. It is a beautiful place, well located, very comfortable and cozy. We loved it!

House was nice location was very convenient. It is a good thing that it has a driveway because parking on the street is pretty crowded and would make things a little more difficult. The owner is very responsive and the house provides almost anything you may need especially if you have a younger family

Wonderful time

We really enjoyed our time in Carlsbad and this house was ideal for our family of four plus our dog. We walked everywhere because the restaurants and stores were so close. The house has plenty of space, it was fully equipped and the beds were super comfy. In addition, Marci was super quick to respond and very kind. We’ll definitely stay here again.

Excellent house!

This house was exactly what we needed. Super close walk or bike ride to the beach, just a few minutes on bike to downtown Carlsbad, but tucked away on a cul-de-sac which made it super quiet and peaceful. We loved all the included equipment including bikes, baby gear, and beach stuff and took full advantage of everything! The house isn’t large but did feel bigger in person than we expected. As others have noted, one of the bedrooms is semi-detached and accessible only by an exterior door. We never felt unsafe with our older boys in that room as the backyard is fully fenced in, but if you have younger children, it might not suit them. The property manager was extremely quick to respond and super helpful accommodating all our needs. Our only regret is that we didn’t stay longer!

Wonderful family vacation!

I don’t normally write reviews, however, I was so impressed with Getaway Beach Bungalow that I thought it needed a review. The place was extremely clean, which allowed me, as the mom, to be able to relax. The place was also stocked with everything you need from toiletries to beach items. It was so nice to not have to rent beach chairs or to have to transport them in our car. The location of the home is on a quiet street, with close access to the beach and the town. This was definitely one of our favorite family vacations!

A comfortable stay!

No real complaints here - the beds were comfortable - home clean - neighborhood was quiet - well stocked kitchen and so close to the beach. It was on the chilly side during our stay and we did have a little issue with figuring out how to run the heat wall units but we made it work. There is a gas fireplace which was so nice to have running in the evenings. We did enjoy our stay here and would probably rent it again.

Very clean, comfortable, close to town, short walk to the beach and boardwalk. Lots of toys and beach supplies available for families. Well cared for front and back yard with covered patio and bar-b-que to enjoy anytime of the day or evening. We met a Navy friend from Colorado who served together 45 years ago and had family visit from Reno and San Diego for some beach time. Would highly recommend and plan another visit to the Getaway Beach Bungalow!
