3mi to Beach&Pier |A/C| Surfboards| Chefs Kitchen
Would 100% stay again. We felt right at home and had everything we needed. Drake did a great job providing local recommendations. Hope to visit again soon!

Modern Coastal Farmhouse - steps to the beach
Perfect home for a family of 5 for a SoCal vacation! Home has everything you need and was so very relaxing whether we were hanging inside or outside. Front has a beautiful porch to sit and enjoy rocking chairs with our morning coffee and in the evening, an outdoor big couch for all of us to sit around the firepit for smores and cocktails. Quick walk to the beach and short easy walks to Carlsbad Village to eat, shop, etc. Mimi & Hank referrals to restuarants were spot on! Finally, easy ride to San Diego for zoo, and some delicious Mexican food. Thank you Mimi & Hank for making our annual family vacation absolutely perfect!

Oceanside Ocean-View Guest Studio
We really enjoyed our stay! Great location and hosts were had good communication. Parking was readily available out front and check in and out was very easy.

Sunset Vista - near Beaches, Legoland, Great Views
Our stay was very comfortable. Unfortunately, the weather during our stay was cloudy and cool so we didn’t get to see the highlight of the sunset from the balcony. Otherwise, everything was great. The home was stocked with everything a family could possibly need. The decor is cozy and aesthetically pleasing. The location is very convenient. We weren’t expecting cold weather but we were only about 10 minutes from Walmart, Target, Ross, and Burlington coat factory where we shopped around for sweats and hoodies. There are also plenty of food chains nearby. I would love to book again.

Lovely Coastal Cottage near Carlsbad beaches
Robin was a great hostess. She was extremely responsive but we didn' really need to communicate with her ince we were checked in. The cottage was a beautiful little space that was perfect for my two older parents. The area was quiet, off set from the main street but still close enough (5-15mins) to groceries, shopping and the beach. The cottage has plenty of ameneties for your stay and 1 spot for parking.

Ocean Views,Rooftop Deck,Fire Pit,Game Room,AC
Anthony's place was great! He and Amanda were super communicative and the place was easy to get into and was exactly as described. We had a great stay. If you are unfamiliar with the Carlsbad area, as we are, there are a couple of helpful things to know: - there is quite a bit of street noise as the home is directly on the street across from the Pacific. - the beach directly across the street from the house is at the bottom of a bluff - there are quite a few stairs to climb down in order to reach the beach/water. - there is no beach across the street at high tide - the water comes all the way up to the bluff - there are great beaches about a half mile either direction from the home that are easier to access. None of this would have changed our decision to stay, but would've been good to know if we were more familiar with the area. Overall great stay, at the home was very well laid out for my elderly Mother with all amenities on the first floor and not stairs to enter the home.

*2 Blocks to Beach, Downtown & Pier w/ Beach Gear*
Lauren’s place was absolutely perfect for our family! You can’t beat the location - easy and quick walk to the beach, tons of restaurants, quick drive to the harbor and Sea World. The home had everything we needed, and was clean and comfortable. We also appreciated the beach supplies and wagon! We highly recommend this place if you are coming to Oceanside and hope to stay here again soon.

Studio - beach, breweries, transport: 15 min walk
It is a perfect place if you're looking to make a quick trip to Oceanside. We only stayed for a night and half a day, but it was perfect for what we needed, a place to sleep and quick access to downtown to attend celebrations with friends. Betsy was super communicative and friendly, no issues whatsoever.

Private Studio close by North Park
JB and Ana were great hosts and were wonderfully accommodating. This was a great private room in a very convenient location. I was definitely satisfied with my experience, especially the ease of check-in/out.

Large one bedroom with golf course views -203
Rented this airbnb for my 70 year old mother in law who was visiting family in the area. She said the airbnb was perfect - clean, easily accessible, everything you’d need and more.

Luxurious La Costa Condo!
I've had multiple stays at Rick and Robyn's place, there's a reason I continue to book with them. Love the condo, sleek and modern, yet incredibly comfortable. Highly recommend

Carlsbad Paradise - Beach and Legoland nearby
Our son was the primary guest at this property while he interned at a local law office. We were able to leave him and return to Texas feeling very comfortable with his accommodations. Location was perfect, centrally located, close to village dining and shopping as well as walk to the beach. He enjoyed his time and looks forward to another visit. Thank you so much for the amazing communication and well kept property.

Seaview Sunset - Close to beaches & restaurants!
We stayed at Christie’s apartment for two stays during a one week trip. Both stays were overall pleasant . Very nice view from the front balcony where you are able to see both the ocean and sunset, you are also able to hear the waves crash at night. Nice interior with plenty of space for two remote workers. Nice coffee shops within a walkable distance for lunch breaks and just a 5 minute walk to the beach. There were also many great restaurants within a few minutes drive of the apartment and a mall in Carlsbad 15 minutes away with many retailers. The only issue I ran into with our stays is one neighbor two houses down was rather hostile towards parking near her property, although it’s public street parking. Overall, I would stay again, I would just make it a point to park on the other side of the road.

Relaxing Private Condo in La Costa, Carlsbad
I loved the location, we could walk to coffee in the morning. A few great food options are close. The kitchen was fully equipped for anyone wanting to cook, we didn't because the food choices were too good in the area.

Forty feet from Pacific Ocean
We absolutely loved, and would recommend Matthew's vacation rental. We have stayed in Oceanside several times for a quick get away and this lovely location is by far our favorite. We hope we will be able to return in the near future. A parking spot is right in front of the property, Matthew's check in and out instructions are clear and easy to follow, the location cannot be beat, with the ocean and private beach just steps away. The interior has everything you could possibly need, it was clean and well stocked. I personally appreciated the binoculars and decaf coffee. It was wonderful to sit outdoors and watch dolphins, seabirds, surfers, dogs happy to be on the beach, and relax to the sound of the waves. There are many great restaurants nearby, and plenty of activities and places to visit in and around town. The best part was the feeling of being in our own little private sanctuary. Thank you to Matthew for being a fantastic host!
Kid-friendly condo rentals

Steps to Beach, Short walk to Village B Unit
The unit is exactly as described. It is easy to get to, has covered parking, is across the street from the beach and walkable to town. We liked that it is one condo away from the Main Street because it made things very quiet. The unit has what you need plus beach towels, chairs, umbrellas and toys. Nice plus. Another reviewer mentioned to bring hangers so I did. I would suggest if you like reading in bed to bring some sort of head or neck lamp. There is overhead lighting with fans in bedroom & main room - with dimmers - great plus except maybe for reading. We loved our stay here and can’t wait to book again!

Luxury Beach Vacation Rental 3
Great location, very clean, super responsive host. Highly recommend!

Luxury on the Beach
We love the location and amenities at Paul’s place. Very quiet unit and lovely balcony overlooking the beautiful surroundings. A new hot tub opened by the pool during our stay which was wonderful!

Outstanding Location Beach Getaway H
Lovely place in walking distance of the beach and village. The place itself is great with a well stocked kitchen. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Hottest Neighborhood! Walk to Beach!
Nick was a great host! He let us check in early to get settled, was communicative and helpful, and the apartment was everything we were looking for. I loved the location as it is very close to downtown Oceanside while still in a peaceful neighborhood. I felt very secure with the courtyard and loved the coffee shop right across the street. I would recommend staying here and plan on staying here again the next time we come down!

Charming 1 br Condo; Walk to Beach and Downtown
Our second stay here was Wonderful! So close to the beach and downtown Oceanside! Also, a fully stocked garage full of bikes, water toys and everything you could ever need.
