Waterfront vacation rentals in Carlsbad

My husband and I enjoyed our stay! It was such a cute little beach house. Small home but the layout and lack of clutter made it feel bigger and functional. It was the perfect location for easily walking to the beach or dining near the pier. We would definitely stay again!

The location was great, close to many restaurants and shops, great ocean breeze, great ocean view from the room, beautiful grounds, and 5 minutes from my sons house on Camp Pendleton!

Jasmines place is a gem! In a very peaceful area, beautiful view to walk out to every morning. The outside deck was a huge plus, very cozy. She not only gave us good food recommendations but was very flexible with our check out time. Would recommend to anyone!

We loved the location ! Beach in view, restaurants and grocery stores a quick walk away. Appreciated the parking space! Although we didn’t use the beach supplies, there was everything you would need for fun!

Tamaras listing was exactly like her pictures for a first timer In san diego the location was so beautiful and peaceful right off the beach exactly what I needed for a mini vacation I loved that it had its own little cozy balcony, and rooftop grill/ fire pit overlooking the view of imperial Beach there was so much to do in walking distance you couldn't beat the price for this place would definitely recommend and the host was very helpful and accommodating to any questions we had no matter the time if day thank you for making my stay worth it !

It was a wonderful stay! Exactly as described with all amenities! We utilized the bikes a lot to get around the beaches! It was lovely and I will certainly remember the spot if we’re in the area again and recommend to friends! Thank you again Rex!!!

Amazing host. Amazing place. Amazing trip. Definitely going back with this host next year!

I stay in San Diego frequently. I have stayed in this unit or the adjacent one many times. Always a great stay, run by nice people in a great location with parking for a reasonable price. No complaints at all- not sure what could be expected that isn't there. Love it and feels like home away from home for me.

Great space to completely relax and let the ocean take you away. We did see dolphins daily and that right there was a magical treat! The home was extremely clean and equipped with everything and more! Nice local shops and restaurants. We liked that the local beaches were not crowded. Fish tacos, yum (Encinitas Fish Shop was our fav)! Yes, there are stairs, but they were not bad and only to get to the unit. We would love love to revisit this delightful home again and highly recommend.

I chose this location as a personal retreat where I could relax and work without distraction, and it didn't disappoint! The cabin is comfortable and the property is just gorgeous. I very much enjoyed sitting by the creek and reading, and working at the picnic table surrounded by trees and birds. There is also a very friendly cat who visited me while I worked. Cory is a friendly, helpful host, and as a woman traveling alone, I felt safe the entire time. I would gladly stay here again.

Incredible spot! We got multiple folks walking past us commenting on what a stellar place it was. We’ll be back!

Very nice place. Matched exactly as described on the website. Mike was very responsive and immediately answered any questions we had. I would stay there again!

We canceled our plan to go to the zoo because my kids love this place so much—they just want to stay here and play, and they don’t even want to leave.

One of the best Airbnbs I have stayed at. Great location, wonderful host, and exactly as described.

My wife and I enjoyed a long weekend at Ricardo's place. The location is fantastic, just close enough to the beach without being in the fray of beach traffic. The private fenced in yard with the hot tub was also very nice! Kitchen was awesome and well stocked. Also, the parking was extremely nice to have, fenced in, not on the street. This is a great place, we will keep an eye out for other weekends.

Second time staying here, would probably even stay more often if pets were allowed! Either way, this place is absolutely the best. Great views, tons of space, near the pier, and on and on. Its walking distance to everything and just far enough away to not be a zoo all day. Just book it, this is it.

Great stay. Plenty of room for a family of four. Very clean with everything you could need. We spend a lot of time enjoying the roof top view. Loved the convenience of the beach toys locker. Enjoyed walks to Harbor Village for fish and chips and breakfast at the Stratford. Sea lions were a fun bonus. Would definitely stay again. Top notch hosts!

Joseph is a great host and the place truly is a tropical paradise with easy access to the beach & downtown Oceanside in walking distance (.5 mi). The property does feel like a hotel but having an “adults only” hot tub is nice to get away from children if you’re wanting that. My friends and I walked to local restaurants and coffee shops each day. The place is very clean and he’s got pretty much everything you could need include extra fans and sound machines if you need some white noise to sleep, which I do so I was pleasantly surprised! Will stay here again if I’m ever in the area.

Dalma’s place was wonderful for our family. It was private and had a fenced in shared backyard space, which was great for our little kids. She had wonderful extras such as the beach items, coffee options for the morning, kids toys and books, and plenty of blankets if needed when it cooled off at night. Beach and restaurants were close within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again!

Kelley was a very attentive and generous host! The space was spectacular. The view was so healing and surreal to wake up to every day. I loved the layout of the house also. It's an open concept so the family members were able to hangout in their own area while still being together. The neighborhood also had great places to eat and walkable to the Pier! Don't look anymore and book!

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!

Place was beautiful and close to the beach. Lots of extras made it very enjoyable!

Beautiful spot on the 6th floor of basically the only tallish building around. The views were incredible and the location was great. Nice quiet area, right on the ocean, and the sunsets were insane. Nice and clean.

Amazing stay and very well decorated unit with beautiful view. The place feels very cozy and homey and it has everything that you need. Will definitely stay there again
