It is very large and spacious. The layout is excellent. It never felt as if you didnt have any breathing room. All you hear are the waves. All day. Loved every second of it. Have stayed here before and I plan to come back. Prompt attention from the owner/management regarding the heater. Prompt and professional attention. We thank you for trusting your home to us for a relaxing time!

This is the perfect little getaway for two! You have your own parking spot and a perfect view of the ocean. The private patio and the bedroom view were priceless! We just love the little oasis and the backyard was wonderfully packed with all kinds of chairs and loungers. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook, and the property was very clean with lots of towel towels and extra toilet paper!My only suggestion for next time is stronger Wi-Fi. However, listening to the ocean is priceless.

This was a great place to stay, pics are accurate. I agree with the other postings that the Unit C isn't obvious when you 1st arrive. Walking distance to Carlsbad Village, which is already a great place to tour and be at the beach. Definitely recommend.

This was EXCALLY what we were looking for! A house right on the beach. Just like the photos you walk right out your back gate and are on the beach. All day and night you just hear the waves crashing, it was perfect. The unit was actually bigger than expected. Morning coffee and wine nights on our balcony were amazing.

It's a great location though there is not much beach area to sit in front of the home. It may have been a higher than normal tide. The home needs some TLC. Lots of aging inside and out. Please fix the blinds in the main room, it's a great view but you can't raise the blinds to enjoy it!

Everything about this place is exactly as listed. When we arrived someone was parked in our assigned spot, so we called them. They immediately answered and got it taken care off. It is a very open floor plan with a picture perfect view of the ocean. Since it is down at towards the end of Ocean Street there were very few people. The walk to the center of town only takes 5 minutes or so, and you have access some of the best parts of the beach for daily searches for sea shells. The place has a lot of space which I believe they could have used to place some extra beds if they wanted. We have been coming to Carlsbad every year for a long time, and this is our new favorite place to stay.

Great spot but.....

Place was in an outstanding spot, right on beach, waves crashing, great location. Clean and spacious. Good parking. The problem we experienced is the noise. Paper thin walls all around, including ceiling, so you heard everything your neighbors were up to. That is the only negative I would comment on. If you don't mind some background noise, till about 10pm, the location again is awesome!

Very loud!

I would ABSOLUTELY never return to this property! This is an old building with paper thin walls and ceilings. The 615 am wakeup incessant running and jumping on the furniture from the kids upstairs was exacerbated by the loud music by the room next to us at 130am. 4 hours of nightly sleep for the first three days. Management tried their best to get folks to be courteous, and respect the reasonable 10 pm to 10 am quiet hours...but to no avail

Beautiful View...But

The house number was difficult to find. Stair accesses slacked handrails and lighting, and were dangerous. Unit identification was missing. Windows needed cleaning. Blinds had bent and broken slats and could not be raised so the view could be appreciated. The heater was badly rusted. Bathroom tub lacked non skid surface/mat and safety supports. There was no handbook on operation of any equipment/TV, local convenience and emergency services.

What a disappointment?

Pluses areLocation, View, Comfortable Bed, Lots of Towels, BBQ works well. Negatives:Lots of rust in heating unit and bathroom shower, Cookware was falling apart, MAIN ROOM BLINDS WOULD NOT RAISE, so could not see view properly, Built in Microwave is out of order. While they do have a small replacement microwave, the built in one not working means that there is no light or fan over the stove top. Outside light sensor on balcony kept turning on and off all night, One of the other suites has access to the balcony in front our your bedroom window. So the other suite tenant walked out in front of us while we were still in bed. Very poor sound insulation in upper suite so that we could hear every move they made. Finally the garbage cans outside were overflowing when we arrived for our 3 day stay. It looked like the garbage had not been put out for well over a week if not longer. The owners request that if you are there on Monday to put the garbage out which we would normally be happy to do. We had to pile our garbage on top of a very full bin and wheel the cans out onto the street. Not impressed
