Holiday rentals with a kayak in Carlsbad

Stayed here for a project within the city; we didn’t venture out much, but all of the desired amenities are within this home! The house was clean and tastefully decorated, and beds were comfy. The host was extremely responsive; we appreciate the great communication. This would be an excellent home to book for a family vacation. We would love to stay here again!

I did enjoy the home because it was exactly as described. The place looked exactly like the pictures! I loved the organization of everything and it felt very welcoming. It was noticeable there was thought put into into the decoration and organization of the entire place which I enjoyed.

This place was awesome! Very friendly host and the place was very clean with lots of things to do for the family + kids. Only bad thing was the very squeaky bed frame that made it hard to sleep if you moved at all it was a loud noise, other than that the place was super fun and a great place to stay, we would stay again and if you are thinking of booking, do it! Also Daniel and his family are very nice!

We were super happy with the location of the home! Very walkable, loved that we were steps from both the bay and the ocean! Lower patio and rooftop were our favorite places to take in the evenings! Water toys were abundant and we enjoyed using the kayaks out in the bay. It was a little difficult to control the temperature in the home, but nothing that would deter us from returning. That may have been an "us" problem, too. Only other "quirk" I would mention is that you have to walk through a bathroom to get to the 2nd bedroom. Again, not that big of a deal, especially when traveling with kids. Overall, the house was perfect for our family of 3. Nick was very responsive when I reached out. Neighbors were friendly. Great recommendations for places to eat. Highly suggest Kono's! We all said we would definitely stay here again on a return trip! Thank you, Nick for such a great stay!!

If I could give our stay at Rick’s place 10 stars, I would! We had to back out of our original Airbnb at the last minute and were so grateful to be able to book this home. All the instructions and rules were very clear and made for a very smooth process to end a hectic day. The location is absolutely unmatched and the home is decorated very tastefully. There was plenty of room for our family and my 2-year-old niece had a blast on the beach, which was right across the street! All of the beach toys and extras Rick had available were the icing on the cake. We were even able to have a lovely family BBQ and relax by the fire put to unwind. Even though it is on a busy street, we didn’t feel like it caused any disturbances at all as all of the bedrooms were away from the street and we couldn’t hear the noise. Even our newborn baby slept through the night! This place truly saved our family vacation!

The Farmhouse was perfect for our stay and needs. The hosts were very responsive and proactive. Would definitely stay again.

This rental was really beautiful and well taken care of. It is evident that Wyatt was very intentional about the amenities in the home - from the child gate at the top of the stairs to the beach equipment he left available to use. We felt very comfortable and loved how close we were to the beach and to the shops in Carlsbad. Wyatt is also super responsive. Definitely an excellent experience deserving of 5 stars!

We enjoyed the location- it was walking distance to the bay, a brewery, and a bar. A short drive / bike ride to tons of places to eat. Yard games and bikes were available, a nice bbq, spa was easy to operate

A beautiful location. The landscaping was well designed and continued a large variety of plants and trees. That along with a couple of fountains really made the place relaxing. Very little noise and good privacy.

We had a great time! Our host was wonderful- even made sure that our doggie had treats and a water and food station- and felt special too! We would love to stay here again! The location was perfect!

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage as a young family - great location, cute home that feels like grandma’s house in a very endearing way, and is filled with family-friendly toys, beach accessories, movies, etc. J-me was so responsive and welcoming.

We had an incredible stay at Dawn's home in Mission Beach. She was extremely responsive before and during our stay when we had a question or needed help. The location of her home was perfectly situated for our family- closer to the bay side but only a block or so away from the ocean side. The included toys, games, and books were amazing for our seven year old. We all enjoyed a great bike ride around the bay, too! The kitchen had lots of extra small appliances and amenities that made it easy to cook many meals during our stay. The outdoor firepit and patio made for relaxing evenings with a view of the Sea World fireworks. In the listing, Dawn mentions that the garage is a tight fit for larger vehicles. Parking our minivan was very tight so we appreciated Dawn's heads up that we could keep the garage door open so that we didn't need to use street parking.
