Comfortable, clean, great location
We stayed here during March. The property is accurately represented in the listing. It contained everything we needed - note that the kitchenette is small with small fridge, full size coffee maker and toaster. No oven. Room darkening shades were awesome. Hot tub was awesome. Roku on the TVs for streaming. One block walk to the beach. 15 minute walk to all the restaurants and shops in Carlsbad. Much recommended!

Better attention to detail needed
The location was great. It’s quite small so it works for 1 or 2 people. Unfortunately a new condo was built behind the house so there was no ocean view…big bummer. TV in the guest room was wonky and wouldn’t totally shut off so light was on all night. Had to put a towel over it to sleep. No coffee or cream/sugar, another real bummer. They did bring us coffee but we had to steal sugars from every restaurant we went to. FYI -you can’t park in the driveway which is kind of a drag when arriving and departing.

Great location
Nice place a block away from the beach. The Studio was nice and layed out perfectly… the only complaint was the master bed was too soft for my Wife and myself so we switched ethe other room with twin beds…. Heather was great , replied quickly with my questions…

Carlsbad beach house
Clean and modern with nice decor. The kitchenette has no fridge (If that was mentioned in the website posting, I missed it. If not, it should be.) The outdoor space is nicely landscaped-nice hot tub and grill. Private and quiet (although a big construction project, either new house or apartments, is underway behind the house). Roof observation deck is a bonus. Nice stay, overall.

Good location
Clean and comfortable. Easy to get around, close to the beach and the village! Quiet at night for a good night sleep! Comfortable bed. Living space is tight but we knew this before arriving. Everything we needed was provided. Full size refrigerator in the garage for extra groceries. Would recommend to anyone looking for a laid back beach vacation!

Our weekend retreat
Almost perfect. Living area is tight for 4 adults. A couple folding chairs would be good for sitting inside. The many pillows on beds are pretty but not necessary and they sadly end up on the floor. The 2nd bedroom should have a mirror...perhaps on the back of the door. Rooftop patio has a view of the ocean. Loved it. We would definately come again.

Cozy Space 1 1/2 Blocks from Beach
Heather's place is very clean, well-appointed and most importantly a simple 1.5 blocks from the beach! The outdoor spaces, including an observation deck, are available to guests and definitely add to the overall enjoyment of the space. The beds are super comfortable and everything in the unit worked very well. Heather's communication was very warm, clear, and open. Thank you, Heather, for a wonderful stay in Carlsbad!
