Recent Carlsbad vacation rental reviews

The home is comfortable and well stocked. The location is perfect! Beautiful beachfront view. Only a few steps to beach access. Only a block to the beginning of countless restaurants and shops. Absolutely would stay in this home again

great kitchen facilities and open gathering space for large groups (15 were there) and nice outdoor firepit and seating. Smores anyone? Only issue is narrow driveway with steep entrance that bumped trailer hitch on my SUV.
Chuck M. | Jan 2025
Location, location, location! We loved that it was just a few minutes walk to get to the beach. There are plenty of great little restaurants and coffee shops nearby. The layout of the house was great with plenty of space both indoors and outdoors. We had a great stay and will definitely book again.

Carlsbad is known as the Flower Capital of the U.S. for its Giant Tecolote Ranunculus fields, which pop into stunning bloom in March, but that’s just the beginning of what this town has to offer. An affluent beach village with a beautiful coastline, the town is also a hot spot for foodies, families, and surfers. Its most notable surf beach is Tamarack Surf Beach, while South Carlsbad State Beach offers a quieter and secluded feel. 

If you’re traveling with kids, make sure to visit Legoland for rides and games, as well as a stop at Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park, which houses gorgeous free-roaming peacocks. Laze the day away at the beach, grab lunch at a taco stand, tour the Sea Life Aquarium, and visit the village flea market. All the fun awaits with Carlsbad beach rentals.
