Photos and Description of the Carlsbad vacation house rental
2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, queen, full, and queen sofa bed

Quaint beach cottage available for vacationing family or group. From the front porch enjoy beautiful sunsets with unobstructed ocean views. Walk down the stairway to the beach below for swimming, surfing, sunning or walk into Old Carlsbad Village for restaurants, antique and hobby shops. Hop a bus on the corner or the Coaster or Amtrak for points north and south. Or just sit and watch the fishing boats, and an occasional whale or pod of dolphins. Make yourself at home at the coast.

Feel at home by the sea:: Enjoy a full kitchen, dining room, and front porch with ocean view, sometimes glimpsing the spout of a whale or pod of dolphins. The living room features new sofas and chairs, a television, and a piano, with a bay window view through the front porch to open water. The bedrooms are quiet, cozy, and comfortable, with plenty of closet and dresser space, a ceiling fan, and windows that can take in the ocean breeze. Three cars can park in the driveway beside the house. Prepare a backyard barbecue with picnic tables and chairs under a St. John's Bread tree. Fences secure the back yard for the safety of small children. A ping-pong table and Foosball game await young and old in the garage. Settle in and bask in a home setting beside the sea. You will want to return.

A Happy Home:: Seven children were brought to this quaint beach cottage, arriving from Minnesota in 1953. We love every aspect of life on the Pacific Coast. Gathering frequently for celebrations and beach-going, our family treasures our beach house. When we are unable to use the home, we are offering it to you for a great getaway. With that in mind, we have painted, replaced appliances, installed a new furnace, purchased new sofas, plush towels, etc. We hope you stay here. You will want to come back.

Several of the grand kids teach surfing and body boarding. You may wish to inquire about their availability.

Cute House, Perfect location

My family really enjoyed staying at this quaint little house. The owners were sweet. The house was well equipped. My kids loved the toys they found plus enjoyed playing in the back yard. The proximity to the beach was perfect! I loved being able to listen to the ocean every evening. We are definitely looking into this house again if we come back to Carlsbad.

We have been very fortunate to be able to stay at this wonderful litttle beach house several times in the last couples of years. We are looking forward to our next visit in January 2012 for my 60th birthday. I had the greatest experience growing up in Carlsbad and remember many beach parties at the house. It is heartwarming that the house has managed to remain with the family for so many years! Janice and Rich always make us feel welcome. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us!

We stayed here a few years ago. I just spent two hours hunting down this listing again in hopes of being able to rent it this summer. Alas, it is booked solid! When my family and I needed a place to stay and just be quiet for a few days this was perfect! We enjoyed the beach and shops up the street. Every morning my young kids sat and watched the ocean and people walking by while eating breakfast in the front room. We fell asleep every night to the sounds of the ocean waves. The yard was beautiful and the home so warm and inviting. We walked the neighborhood as well. It was a wonderful retreat and the owners so gracious. They bent over backwards to be accommodating. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience that we still talk about!

This beach cottage was great. Beautiful views and convenient location for dining and the beach. The cottage had everything we needed. It was even convenient for wedding stuff we had in San Diego. We are already planning our next trip.

This is our new favorite place to stay when we visit Southern California! The people couldn't be nicer. The location couldn't be better. It was one of the most relaxing vacations our family has ever had. We are looking forward to our next chance to vacation here.

We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation at this home in Carlsbad. The house is very "family-friendly"! The kitchen was superbly well-equiped, and the abundance of towels (for both the house & the beach) was truly appreciated. The washer/dryer came in handy, too, since we had our 8-month-old grandson with us. This "antique" home is beautifully appointed and updated; and, obviously much-loved by the owners. Everything was in good repair & very clean (most importantly, the beds were comfortable!!!) We loved walking the beachfront, watching sunsets over the ocean from the beautiful sunroom, spending time in the back yard, and relaxing/working in this lovely home. And it's only 4-5 blocks from Carlsbad Village (restaurants, shops, etc.), about a mile to a major grocery store, about a mile to the Interstate (which made "getting around" very easy). If we ever have the opportunity to be in the area again, this is the first place we will check for availability!!
