Updated Mid-Century beach house --10 minute walk to the beach

Relaxing in the hot tub, grilling on the patio, roasting s'mores around the fire pit, cooking a feast in the beautifully renovated kitchen, strolling to the beach to surf or take in the sunset -- experience the San Diego dream in a Carlsbad beach house. We have beach chairs, surfboards, body boards, a portable BBQ, ice chests and beach towels for your use. Tamarack Beach, one of the premier surf breaks in San Diego, is just a 10 minute walk. Enjoy our foosball table and weight bench in our furnished garage. Our house is west of the 5 freeway and just a mile from all the shops and restaurants of Carlsbad village and a 10 minute drive to Lego Land, the Outlet Mall, and Flower Fields.

Great accommodations

Damon was a wonderful host. We had to relocate during water restoration in our home. Damon was willing to work with me on the dates, even as I was trying to get insurance approval. The location is perfect for the beach or walking to the village for dinner. We had a wonderful stay.

Amazing Carlsbad house

We had such a great long weekend. We were there with my parents and my two toddlers to explore San Diego a bit. The house had everything we could have ever needed and was so clean. Great location - so close to the beach and Carlsbad Village. And we loved the hot tub and grill! Thank you again Damon for a great time.

Family vacation

My family had a wonderful time at this beach house. The backyard was relaxing and had enough room for kids to play as well as a nice bbq. The neighborhood is quiet, walking distance to the beach, garage was stocked with beach chairs, boards, and umbrella. Beds were comfortable too! Wish we could have stayed longer :)

Summer Get Away

I stayed at the home for five days with my three grandchildren and was impressed on how well stocked the home was. The backyard was big enough for them to play in and although rarely home during the day, we enjoyed the open space and decor. I would definitely rent again.

Amazing get away

We loved our stay at this home. The house was even roomier than we expected from the photos. We spent a lot of time in the amazing backyard, grilling, at the fire pit and in the hot tub. The location was great with an easy trip to the beach or into the village. There was everything you could need for a day at the beach and the home was incredibly well stocked. We will definitely be back again.

Perfect beach house for families

Great place with a beautiful backyard/outdoor space and easy 10 minute walk to the beach. It ended up being just a tad too far to carry beach things with kids in tow, so we ended up driving, whi h was not a big deal at all. The house had plenty of space for 8 of us, beach chairs and towels, firepit outside and a a great kitchen/dining space. There's even a piano that was a nice treat to be able play while on vacation. Great vacation spot!

Cute, cozy, artsy and great for families

This house is adorable with lots of unique artistic touches, a great layout even for our larger family and in an excellent location. My kids love being close to the beach, we love being close to the Village, and the house has everything we need and then some. The foosball table and surfboards in the garage are icing on the cake! The owners are excellent at communicating and very kind and accommodating. Highly recommend!

Great experience!

We had a great stay here!! Two couples and a handful of kids, we had plenty of room to relax and the house had everything we needed to feel like we were at home. Easy walk to the beach, and they provided everything you needed for a perfect beach day. The kitchen was fully stocked, as well as the bathrooms. The hot tub and fire pit were two of our family favorites! Communication with Damon was great as well, I had a few questions and was responded to within minutes. Would definitely stay here again, highly recommend!

Such a great spot for traveling with kids!

This is a wonderful house for a fun family vacation. The location is fantastic: walk or bike to the beach, walk or bike to restaurants in the Village, and quick access to the freeway for trips to Legoland, Birch Aquarium, SD Zoo, etc. The kitchen is well-equipped, the owners are kind and responsive to requests, and everything worked well during our entire extended stay. My husband and I especially loved the backyard with built in bbq, fire pit, hot tub and outdoor shower. My kids (ages 3-14) loved movie nights cozied up on the couch by the fireplace, the fun assortment of games available (some of which we had never seen), and the foosball table in the garage. Our dog loved being able to play fetch in the backyard with the kids. We highly recommend this adorable home for families visiting Carlsbad.

Soccer tournament getaway

We had the most wonderful weekend getaway here. The perfect place to wrap up the summer. The kids had a soccer tournament in Del Mar and decided to make a trip of it and this house was just perfect. We were there for 4 nights and wished we could have stayed longer. The house was spotless and completely stocked with linen, towels and every possible kitchen utensil. We brought grandma, 2 kids and dog and had plenty of space. The backyard is beautiful with a gas grill, great fire pit, hot tub and large table that could seat us all for al fresco dining. The garage had everything we could possibly need for the beach and entertaining the kids, bikes, boogie boards, chairs, foosball table, washer and dryer. We enjoyed walks down to the beach ~ 10 minutes and leisure strolls to Carlsbad Village ~ 20 min walk. The town is super bike friendly and a great way to explore the town. The Surf Sports Park was a 15 minute drive which was perfect. Damon was fantastic! The best host, quickly responding to questions and super flexible. We hope we can make it down for the winter break! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Fun Fun Fun

We have rented many places through VRBO, and I have to say this was probably our favorite. We had 4 adults and 3 children under 12 for an early Thanksgiving with family. This home feels like a comfortable family home, it had funky fun decor, great location with an easy walk to the beach, lots of games, a huge table for family gathering, great backyard for relaxing and super comfortable beds. The kitchen was well equipped with a great layout. The kids especially loved the foosball table in the garage.

We traveled to Carlsbad with our kids (ages 7 and 9) and the grandparents to check out Legoland. Damon's home was a great home base for the 6 of us - very clean, comfortable, and close to everything. The home is beautiful and neighborhood is lovely too! Damon was very responsive and a friendly neighbour even came over when we needed a hand with something. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful spot

The backyard was really nice. We love the hot tub. The grill was really nice with a dedicated island the furniture was newer and hip . This was a beautiful spot, but we managed to stay here during an unprecedented heat spell. The host was very prompt and responsive and flexible. He reimbursed us for fans as there is no AC. Our only regret is not booking during s more temperate time/season! We had 2 families with toddlers/baby. The backyard is perfect and the house would be the perfect hangout and homebase when the weather is nice!
