We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the home was cozy, loved eating dinner on the back patio every night, walked across the street to beach every day and kids boogie boarded nonstop. We brought our pups and they loved their morning walk on the bluffs, and lounging in the shade of the beautiful Magnolia Tree in the backyard.
The location is a bit removed from town, which was perfect for us. But, you are still only a quick 5 minute drive away from Carlsbad Village. The Carlsbad Outlets are also only about a 5 minute drive.
The home is situated on Carlsbad Ave (which is actually part of the Pacific Coast Highway), so there is a lot of activity happening out front. I loved sitting on the front porch with a peek a boo view of the ocean, watching all the street traffic - on foot, bicycles and cars piled high with surfboards. We even saw a Unicycler ride by! It really makes you feel like you are in the thick of the beach community. And when you want to step away for peace and quiet, the backyard is waiting with twinkle lights and beautiful landscaping.
Our host, Tamar, was responsive and extremely accommodating. We would love to visit again!
