Every person, except for my 1 year old, couldn't stop talking about how blown away they were by EVERYTHING this place had to offer. Organized, clean, easy check in/check out without the annoying "please do our laundry" requests at the...

Carlsbad Village, Great Beach Access, Shops & Restaurants
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (51)
"We loved the location. Half a block to the beach/promenade, walking distance to downtown stores, restaurants. We took the Coaster to downtown San Diego. We could have gotten off at any of the stops in between there and Carlsbad to explore instead of dealing with parking. Short drive to Oceanside and other towns. Garage, washer/dryer were a big plus. We actually were able to extend our stay by four days. Rene got back to us quickly when we had questions. Highly recommend Unit C. Thank you Rene....

Dreamy SoCal home near the beach with pool, hot tub, pool table, grill & firepit
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (31)
"This property is very clean and is has easy access to the beaches, Carlsbad village and Legoland. The home is well appointed, and very comfortable, especially the backyard with the pool, hot tub, and fire pit areas. The outdoor area is the highlight of the home. It is awesome. Keep in mind the bedrooms are on the second floor, so there are steps to climb to access, nothing major though. Found no instructions on how and where to turn on the jets for the hot tub, also lacked kitchen staples...
