Great Getaway
This place was perfect for our family on our recent trip to the San Diego area. We had people with varying levels of mobility present and the single story home had an accessible and open layout. The large kitchen was great for family dinners after a day out and about. Overall great stay!

Overall good experience and great location
Beautiful sunsets and vistas great property. Needs some upkeep, attention and love though. Dishwasher falls out of place/isn’t installed properly and doesn’t clean well, jacuzzi was rank and pool are very substandard. We had to clean jacuzzi ourselves and went 2 days unable to use it. Lack of kitchen towels, toilet paper, and the kitchen knives were very subpar fell apart while cutting. The beds were quite decent and the great room accommodates very well. The kids 3-8 aged) loved playing in the yard out front and our weather was perfect. The property is well situated to local attractions and great eating spots locally. It definitely has the potential to be 5 stars but isn’t presently.

Great Location & Classic Rental Property
Perfect location with nearby Starbucks, grocers, restaurants and most importantly the ocean. Extremely clean, ample bedding and towels. Definitely a rental property that has never been lived. It is missing things that a homeowner would have realized. Full length mirror, functional pots/pans, coffee/tea, laundry room sink, and door mats would go a very long way. Not enough hand soap or toilet paper. Toilet paper was enough for 3 days of our 14 day trip. Newly renovated and feels like a home goods store combined with Viking appliances. Dishwasher, washing machine and dryer awesome. Bedrooms are well sized but the bathroom to bedroom ratio tough & one bathroom acting as a mudroom sink/sand area. Entry from the pool goes into the washing dryer area and there is no sink there so the bathroom sink becomes the laundry room sink and drained terribly. Drainage issues existed in all the bathrooms. The pool and hot tub left a ton to be desired! The pool and hot tub were not very clean and although Vacasa responded immediately and sent a pool guy there was no impact from those services. The pool area is outdated with a lot of dirt and un-manicured lawn which causes constant dirt and sand in/near the pool. The hot tub was filthy with murky water and unpleasant. The backyard needs attention which would allow for the pool to be less dirty. Perfect inside, outside needs love, great location and very responsive rental company.

Spring break with extended family
We had a great time in this “party house” with beautiful views and huge great room. It was chilly but my kids still enjoyed the pool and hot tub. We had a nice night cuddling by the outdoor fireplace. Some suggestions for improvement: more paper towels (1 roll for 8 people for 4 days is not enough), napkins, a drying rack, and better quality toilet paper! This is a high end house with high end appliances and fixtures that deserves the best for guests.

Be properly informed...
This is a lovely house with great spaces for entertaining. However, the fine print in the documents received after renting the house would indicate that the total occupancy is limited to 11 - the number that can be accomodated in bed. This puts a real damper on using the house to receive other friends and family who are also in the area. The dip at the junction of the driveway causes cars with a hitch to scrape on entry and exit. The parking area would benefit from paving over an area of dirt above the walkway to minimize tire damage to that area. The living room fireplace needs to be repaired for proper use. There was a leak at the beginning of the gas pipe so that the flame did not propagate along the length of the perforated pipe.

Great home!
Our family of 5 stayed at the property and it was exactly as advertised! Open concept w/ plenty of room to play games and entertain, which was helpful as it rained most of our trip. Very well stocked. Views are better than pictured and close to any needs. Would recommend to others.

Amazing Home & Location
The home was beautiful. High end appliances were amazing! The location was perfect & our group really enjoyed it. The management company was top notch & very responsive to our questions & needs. We did make a few suggestions for improvements of amenities but that didn’t damper our stay. We would return to this property & recommend to others who are staying in the Carlsbad area.
