Quiet street with a quick walk to the beach and to town. Jim is an excellent host. Appreciate the parking and the sense of safety as a woman traveling alone.

When we arrived in Carlsbad, we were excited to get to beach just a short ealk from the property. But when we got to this fantastic home, we were so in love with this hone we didnt want to leave! The hone is so cute and comfortable. But the yard was my favorite part. It was so peaceful. We loves sitting outside with the sounds of the waterfountains and the beautiful wall mural and landscaping. This is paradise. Everything was so clean. The host is very friendly and accessible.
