We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 week stay! The studio is an easy walk to the beach and situated in a nice neighborhood. It’s been well kept, clean and very well equipped. Ed and Jill were most accommodating and made our stay very enjoyable. We will be back!

Couldn’t have been happier

Cozy, cute, sun dappled and lovely. We truly enjoyed our stay. My partner had some issues with the train tracks being so close at night but a few ear plugs and she was fine. Thank you for letting us enjoy your lovely space.

Nice studio apartment close to the beach.

Nice studio apartment close to the beach. The only problem was on days it was warm, the apartment was very warm late into the night. There is no air conditioning and you can’t really keep the windows open because of the frequent train whistle early in the morning especially.

This is a great vacation retreat spot! Easy code access, comfortable bed, more spacious than it appears in the photos, and the host is very pleasant and accommodating. The kitchen & appliances are full-sized so we were able to cook full breakfasts every day. I was a little concerned about the lack of air conditioning in July but the place has numerous screened windows that provide wonderful cross breezes! And a bonus for us was that it was very conveniently located & easy to get to all of our destinations. I highly recommend this place!!

Vacation and unexpected delay with Crowd Strike

Property is clean, convenient and easy to access off the freeway Property owner was easy to get ahold of as we had Crowd Strike hit and our flights were cancelled and we were stranded additional days. Would recommend.

Disruptive stalky hosts!

Stayed here 1 month, Ed and Jill were rude and not nice, to me, I’m a single gal, they watch the tiny old unit and anyone in it like HALKS , they call a FEW times a week to include Sunday’s in Emergency or Urgent style for no real reason, just to bug , yet they don’t respond to your concerns, they did an EMERGENCY ENTRANCE , to the unit , no real ER , I was told not to use the heat, although it was a storm all month and freezing , Ed is a heavy drinker, Jill never came to say HI, but called to harass all month!! , they have a broken lock leaving your stuff open for theft, they are surrounded by apartment buildings, there is rust on everything to include Kitchen stuff, the MOLD is awful, you an smell it, dangerous wood steps to get in unit, when they are wet, it’s like a death trap, they get upset if you pay to park in driveway , they even asked me to park on street, there are 4 — yes 4 ways for them to enter, and every once in awhile drunk ED pops out of one of them, with so many places to stay, avoid these people and their bull! The unit itself is small and old , at least 15 min drive to village and they hold your security for 2 full weeks

Property was very clean and well equipped. Ed and Jill were both friendly. The listing photo showing the steps leading right to the beach was a bit misleading. We were quite a distance from the ocean, and there was no sunset view. Perhaps we caugnt unseasonbly warm weather, but lack of AC made it a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, we brought our own fan. With all windows open trying to stay cool, the train noise was pretty loud. We had booked a 7 night stay, but had to leave after 3 nights.

We found it without any trouble. The street was a block off Tamarack, a street we were very familiar with. It's a very walkable area. The beach, and Carlsbad Village very close, Easy to get anywhere around there by freeways, or local roads. Von's, Vigilucci's, and Starbucks are close. The kitchen has a fine gas stove, full size 'fridge', and sink. Bathroom has a spacious walk in shower. There are sitting areas on both sides of the unit outside. Cool breezes made our June stay very comfortable with no need for the fan provided day or night. It felt very safe and secure. Internet and streaming TV were good, Jill heped us out when it went down very quickly, and Ed was always right there to help too, even replaced a disposal in the sink when we discovered a problem, and lent me a screwdriver! Parking was off street, and Ed helped with the bird poop, wiping off our rental car, since there are a lot of blackbirds there, when we checked out. One friendly neighbor even showed me a pic of a racoon he met in his next door yard. The king bed, and recliner were very comfortable. There is a stackable washer, and dryer, and a dishwasher, though we didn't use the dishwasher; coffeemaker, and toaster we did. And plenty of dishes, glasses, and cooking gear made home cooked meals easy. Friedly, helpful hosts, nice single family home, condo neighborhood, easy access to the area, comfortable place, reasonable price. What more can you ask for?

Convenient location

The setup is great for two. Loved having our morning coffee on the private front deck. As others mentioned, the Coaster train horn is very loud and frequent on weeknights, so bring your noise-cancelling headphones. It was a nice walk to Carlsbad Village using the trail, to grab lunch or dinner.
