Pleasant Stay
Pleasant stay- nice sized, very clean updated older unit with comfortable seating and memory foam mattress, large TV, well supplied kitchen including spices. Our host thought of every amenity! Grounds were also well kept. Seemed like a good area, conveniently located within walking distance to everywhere. It was cooler than we expected for end of April, so we didn't make much use of the shaded nice little patio.

Great Condo in the Village
This is a very nicely kept 1 bedroom 1 bath condo. The owner is doing what it takes to keep the place up. It was comfortable, close to shops and the beach and walking distance to everywhere you want to be. It was a great trip and we will definitely look for this unit to be available again. Pam is communicative and friendly.

Not up to vrbo standards
Unit wasn’t very clean, very messy dirty kitchen cupboards. Bathroom had long black hair in tub (we both have short gray hair so it wasn’t ours!) the whole room smells of mold. Bathroom door doesn’t close. We have been vacationing in Carlsbad for 30+ years and stayed in many VRBO units , this was by far the worst ever!!! It needs a deep cleaning and extensive maintenance.

Back Again
We've stayed in Pam's condo numerous times and always look forward to our next stay. Location is great as we prefer to walk or take the Coaster rather than driving. Occasional sounds from the upstairs unit can be heard.
We do enjoy the sounds of the trains going by. We like to relax on the patio early morning and late evenings. The complex is generally quiet as most tenants are respectful of others.

February in Carlsbad
In spite of heavy rain (atmospheric river) twice during stay, earthquakes close by and tornado warnings for San Diego (which never materialized) we had a wonderful three weeks in Carlsbad. The condo was so very comfortable, very clean and location was excellent. Quick walk to the fantastic beach was definitely a plus. After a day of being out we always loved coming back to the serenity of the complex. Checkin was uneventful and it was definitely a plus to have parking so close and be on ground level. We wished we could have spent more time out in the patio, but enjoyed the time we did. Absolutely would recommend this accommodation!

Adorable condo in an ideal location!
Pam’s condo was adorable, clean, well-equipped, and could not have been in a better location: steps from great coffee, restaurants, shopping, nightlife, and the beach. Pam warned me about the possibility of ants in the bathroom, and we did see a few – but she had laid traps out, and it really didn’t affect us that much. Aside from that, everything was perfect!

Unbeatable Carlsbad Condo
This was our 7th stay at this property. We keep returning because the condo is unbeatable. It's within walking distance to various quality restaurants, interesting shops, and a great beach. The condo is comfortable and has two outdoor patio areas, WiFi, a TV with all the channels you could want, and a well-equipped kitchen if you choose to do some cooking. The covered off-street parking is a real plus. What's not to like about this property?
