This wonderful apartment was just a few steps and a stairway from a beautiful stretch of beach. You could open the windows and hear the roar of the sea, as well as enjoying a sea breeze. The apartment had beach chairs, umbrella, and two boogie boards for coastal action. It was close to, but not in, downtown Carlsbad so street parking was possible, though they did have a dedicated spot on the property. Newly remodeled kitchen and two queen beds in smallish bedrooms, along with a good sized living room. The manager was on top of things, and was very responsive, taking care of all questions and concerns. He worked hard to make sure the place met all our expectations. A comfy hideaway for the week, it was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the local scene.
