The house was amazing. Just as advertised. Location was great, view was wonderful. Everything was neat and clean. My wife was extremely happy about where we stayed and loved every minute of it. She said it couldn't have been a better place to have her 60th B-Day. Thank you so much for checking in on us to see if we needed anything, that was nice of you. Thanks again!

Best ever
The location was perfect in that there is little to no public beach access nearby. The beach for the property itself is private. No boardwalk, just waves and surfers to watch. At night, the sound of breakers is the best. The home may be a little old for some but for my family, it was more than enough, had all the surfboards, boogieboards available, parking for three vehicles and super comfortable quarters.

Carlsbad Beach House
Outstanding home right on the ocean. Well equipped accommodations. You will never want to leave the property, we ordered DoorDash for groceries and dinners. Beach is accessible during low tide, so make sure you time your visits down the stairs. Beautiful views and amazing sunsets.

Actually Relaxed!
We stayed two nights with a family of 5, the only thing that could have been better was to stay longer! We really enjoyed watching the surfers, dolphins, and sea lions from the patio and living room. Having an almost private beach was amazing. We didn’t have to deal with crowds, and it was really nice to go back to the house when we needed. Great place for a relaxing time.

A Rare Seaside Gem in Carlsbad
We had an amazing staycation at the villa of Shore Drive! The views were spectacular and the property was full of coastal charm! We couldn’t have planned for a more perfect weather to add to the gorgeous setting. Spent hours gazing out at the surf on the lovely patio watching the locals catch waves. We even spotted a few sea lions and playful dolphins out in the distance. The tide pols just below the property were fun to explore and the sunsets were unparalleled. Kitchen was well stocked and nice to prepare meals. All the bedrooms were comfortable and decorated impeccably. Even the garden courtyard was beautiful. We would love to return! Thank you for sharing this beachside treasure with us!

Great Family Stay
Amazing views. Patio was huge and had spectacular views up and down the coast. The waves broke at the bottom of the property so there was the sound of the ocean all day / night. At low tide there was ample room for the kids to play on the beach. Tough to find easier access to the beach. Unlike a lot of properties right along major thoroughfares, this neighborhood is its own little enclave so there was no traffic noise. House had beach toys and great spot to hose off outdoors. We stayed with a family of four plus in-laws and had ample room.

Amazing Family Vacation
Can't say enough good things about this property! The view is absolutely stunning, the stairs leading down to the water is great, the windows when open provide the nicest of ocean breezes, and it's close to many different things in Carlsbad and SD.My wife and our three boys had a blast and can't wait to come back again. The only thing that I would change would be to have softer newer beds in all of the rooms and maybe make the front gate a little easier to open :-)

Absolutely beautiful!! What a wonderful beautiful place. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The home was perfect. Everything was stocked and ready for use. The town of Carlsbad has plenty of things to do if you decided to leave the proberty. The strawberry fields were amazing. Legoland is 2miles from the home. I will definitely go back next year with my girlfriends. Communication was quick and responsive. Host was wonderful. I highly suggest this place to everyone. Enjoy and I pray that peace will overcome your souls as much as it did mine while staying here.
