Carlsbad family vacation rental

A private family beach club, ten minutes from the sand.

Welcome to our family beach retreat in Carlsbad, a private home on a quiet cul-de-sac that feels like your own resort. The fenced backyard has a heated pool with a rock water slide, a hot tub, an outdoor kitchen with a TV, a fire pit lounge and a playground, so the kids can play all day while the grown-ups actually relax.

There is room for the whole family. The main house has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, a kitchen, living and dining rooms and a kids playroom, and the fully detached guest house adds a bedroom, a bathroom and a kitchenette with its own entrance. It works beautifully for multi-generational trips and families traveling together.

Carlsbad beaches, Carlsbad Village and Legoland are all about 10 minutes away. Book with us and we will send you a discount code for Triton Charters.

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 vacationed with our four daughters and their families, which included four grandchildren under 2 years of age. Each family had their own space. The playground and pool were perfect for the toddlers. Adults loved the pool and hot tub.

The outdoor facilities were amazing! The pool was just what our kids needed and the hot tub and fire pit were enjoyed by all! It was so peaceful and quiet, close to the beach and close to Legoland.

The separate casita was a plus, grandma loved it. 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.
