What Our Guests Are Saying

  • ”This place exceeded our expectations It was a wonderful spot to stay and actually spend time in. We were in town for a week and although we enjoy the area with restaurants, beaches and markets, we still spent a lot of time at this home. We used everything this home has to offer and it is a place that you can really be comfortable in. The design and attention to detail with the home was aboe and beyond. We will definitely be back.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Ryan, Airbnb

  • "We vacationed with our four daughters and their families which included four grandchildren under 2 years of age. Each family has their own space. The playground and pool were perfect for the toddlers. Adults loved the pool and hot tub. Black out curtains were awesome for the children’s naps! We visited a couple of nearby beaches and Sea World. It was great family time! We messaged the owners with questions several times and they were quick to respond.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Cynthia, Airbnb

  • “We stayed here for our first family reunion post-covid. It was a great spot for our 3 families with children to really have some downtime together. The outdoor facilities were amazing! The pool was just what our kids (age 7-13) needed and the hot tub and fire pit were enjoyed by all! It was so peaceful and quiet and really just and amazing place for us to stay. Located in Carlsbad it also served our needs as being close to the beach (10 minute drive) AND close to Legoland which was a must for our families. They even sent us a vacation-warming gift of Crumbl cookies which were enjoyed by all! I would definitely stay here again if we found ourselves in the area!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Kim, Airbnb

  • Would definitely recommend, this house is very nice. Very comfortable, well decorated & great facilities. Also has gym equipment and a peloton bike that I didn’t see on the listing which was a great surprise. Back garden is wonderful with outdoor living, very nice pool & out door bbq area. Worth noting if you have younger kids there are also tons of toys, books, games as well as kiddo plates, glasses, etc. Carlsbad itself is a fantastic part of the world with great restaurants and real seaside town feel to it. Would recommend and would definitely return!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • "One of our favorite stays ever! Every nook and cranny was beautiful. Perfect for families with little kids. It felt like our own personal resort. The kids had a blast in the pool with the rock water slide, teepee and trampoline. We can’t wait for our next trip!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Ryan, Airbnb

  • “Pristine Poolside Paradise Retreat was fabulous for our family. We had two adults, and two young children coming from Virginia, and an adult and two young children from San Diego - and Grandma who brought the whole group together! The house was beautiful and looked like it was professionally decorated. The separate casita was a plus (grandma loved it, and it was so conenient to use the bathroom when enjoying the outdoor amenities). The backyard was like we were at a resort - with both kids and adults in mind. The pool, hot tub, BBQ and sitting area overlooking the pool were used constantly. The trampoline was a hit, as was the swingset and other outdoor toys. The house was close to the beach and Legoland. I would highly recommend this rental!!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
