Family friendly comfy condo
The condo was great and totally set up and comfortable for us and our young kids (2 and 6). TVs all had Disney plus that was a nice benefit and place was clean and cozy. The advertised walking to beaches wasn’t beaches, it was all rocks. The pool wasn’t heated and the hot tub was not working, hence the 4/5 rating. Location was good close to playground at buccaneer park, and only 30 min walk to the pier with better beaches! Would love to come back again!

Right on the beach. Safe neighborhood. Short distance to shopping malls and dining. Great pool and spa. Only thing, my child slept on the couch and woke up with spider bites. Otherwise recommend this property.

This is a quiet vacation rental good for an individual or family. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms and comes supplied with towels, shampoo, condition, soap, and cleaning supplies. Just a short walk to the beach and we were fortunate enough that the beach was covered in sand when we visited. Close to local stores. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen adequately equipped. Nice having the pool, hot tub and outdoor grill all available for use. Air conditioning works well or you can open the 2 sliding glass doors for a nice breeze. Only difficulty was getting the washer and dryer to turn on as the on button was very difficult to push. Other than that would definitely stay here again!

Great Family Vacation Spot
We enjoyed the proximity to Oceanside attractions, pier, restaurants, & beaches, as well as the 6 minute drive to Carlsbad State beach for sand & sun. The beach across from this house has alot of rocks, but still made for a beautiful ocean view & breeze while enjoying the pool & hot tub on site. And we didn’t mind driving to/from the beach, easily found parking. The property manager responded promptly to my questions regarding amenities, beach gear, etc & arranged for housekeeping to leave additional amenities as our stay was 11 days. The neighbors were friendly & quiet. Excellent home & location for a family trip to Southern California.
