Carlsbad Inn Beach Resort

Villa Bahia Your Waterfront Private Beach Retreat in Beautiful Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"This was perfect for my sons 7th birthday. The home was fabulous, it was better than the pictures! It even had a toy/book/art room which our 3,5,& 7 year olds loved and were in there everyday. The rooms were all very spacious with great bathrooms. The Kitchen was beyond well stocked, including sticks for cooking marshmallows for Smores. The pool and spa were both very clean and we paid the extra for the heating which made it very nice. The private beach was especially nice with the paddle boards and kayaks. The home was very close to a grocery store which was nice if you forgot something. Whenever we have used VRBO the owners or managers really are what can make an enjoyable experience exceptional. In this case, beyond exceptional and a 10/10. We were coming for our sons birthday and they surprised us with a birthday gift basket on our arrival! It was stocked with bubble toys, wine, and all types of treats plus supplies for smores. We had a few questions and Cierra was ALWAYS very quick with responses to tall of our questions. ( thank you Cierra). The check our was the easiest I have ever had . We hope to make this a regular destination"

"So much room! Our entire family fit with everyone enjoying the space and the locale. We enjoyed the pool, the walk to town and the outdoor dining area…and the great shower post beach swim. The host was very communicative."

Ocean View Home w/PrivateBalcony

10/10 Excellent

~OPEN 9/7-9! Unique Villa! Walk to Beach, Pool&Spa, Pets Ok!~

10/10 Excellent

"The Pool was the biggest hit!! Close location to the beach, convenient to freeway, communicative host and just the right amount of rooms. Very close to Legoland and the music museum. No air conditioning was the only draw back in summer. It was still mid-70's most evenings. Use the provided mini fans next to your windows and it get cooler in the evening when you do."

Steps to the Ocean+Village Beach Home w Hot Tub 🏖

10/10 Excellent

"This home was perfect for our family get together that included my husband and I, our 2 toddlers, 3 grandparents, and our dog. The house is adorable and was very clean; the bedrooms are generously sized - there was plenty of space in the primary for the pack & play plus our dog's crate; the kitchen had all the cooking utensils we needed and even included ziploc bags, plastic wrap, foil, etc., which you don't always get; the yard was spacious and safe for our dog and kids to play in; there was plenty of beach gear and towels for our group; and it's an easy walk to the beach - especially with the cart the host provides to carry your gear. We didn't use the hot tub, but did check it out when we first got there and it was also very clean. We were all so happy with the home and location and wouldn't hesitate to stay again."
