This condo is in a great location! Super close to the beach and to many restaurants and coffee shops. We walked easily all over downtown Carlsbad and on the boardwalk almost daily. The private garage was hugely helpful. The condo had more things than we expected: plenty of cooking supplies and towels and hand soap, dish soap, beach chairs and umbrella, etc. My wife and 3.5 and 1.5 year old daughters and myself stayed for six weeks while we had work done on our home. One thing to note is that there are two sets of steep stairs in the house. There were some baby gates in a closet that we didn’t set up and luckily our kids did okay on the stairs for the most part. The water pressure in kitchen sink and showers was also lacking but not a big deal. Overall, this place is pretty wonderful and more affordable than most other spots we looked at. And Tim, the property manager, is so lovely. It was easy communicating with him and when we realized the coffee pot was broken, he had a new one to us immediately. I would highly recommend this spot in Carlsbad!
