Family-friendly holiday rentals in South Carlsbad State Beach

This is a great rental for a family. There is plenty of beach equipment as well as equipment for toddlers if needed. Being dog-friendly is a major plus. The house is in a quiet neighborhood which is nice for walking and it is a short drive to restaurants and the beach. We took advantage of the hot tub and the very relaxing back yard.

Don”s cottage was perfect! It had everything we needed and more! Very cozy, we felt right at home. Don was super friendly and made us feel very welcome. We would love to stay here again in the future.

Great place if you are looking for a beach setting. Clean linens and towels, clean room. Kitchen has nice plates, glasses, utensils, etc.

Zach and Eva were absolutely amazing hosts! From the moment we arrived, everything felt warm, welcoming, and well-prepared. The house was spotless, beautifully designed, and had all the comforts of home — we genuinely didn’t feel like we were missing a thing. The location is peaceful and full of charm, with lush greenery and a relaxing pool area that made it feel like our own little paradise. Every detail, from the decor to the amenities, was thoughtfully curated to create a relaxing and cozy vibe. We truly loved our stay here and would absolutely come back again. Thank you, Zach and Eva, for being such wonderful hosts and for sharing your beautiful guesthouse with us!

It's always better staying with family at a home rather than a hotel. Kim's place was no exception. Lots of space, nice gathering area, big deck (with freeway noise), close to the beaches, restaurants, and Carlsbad Outlet Mall. Would love to stay here again.

This place was HEAVEN!! We fell in love with the place. The place was spotless and looked exactly like the photos. A 15 min walk to restaurants and shops. We enjoyed the view from the couch every morning and the view from the lifeguard chairs in the evening. The Airbnb hosts were helpful and responsive. This place felt like home and can not wait to book again! Thank you!

"Just Beachy" is a fantastic, absolutely clean accommodation with an exceptional location right on the beach. Everything you need is there...and more. Contact with Lorraine was always "just in time" and provided all the necessary information, and the digital guide also contains everything you need about the entire complex. "Just Beachy" is highly recommended without exception! Thank you, Lorraine, and best regards, Annika & Noël

View was spectacular! Loved the decor style! It’s an older unit but still well maintained. Loved the amenities and proximity to the beach and restaurants in Oceanside. Would definitely stay here again!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay in Carlsbad. I have 3 young boys and there was plenty of room for them to relax and play in the yard. I loved being able to walk to the beach & its proximity to different activities were great. We enjoyed Lego land & the San Diego zoo

This air bnb was the best place we could have stayed in San Diego. It had everything we needed and there were so many thoughtful touches. All I wanted was a Southern California beach vacation and Kristen had all of the gear we needed for that. We went to several beaches during our stay and it was about a 30 minute drive to every beach we went after waiting out morning rush hour traffic. Her backyard was my favorite part of our trip as we love watching sunrises and sunsets and it was so peaceful with great views. There is a lot of natural light in the air bnb as I didn’t understand initially there are solar tube lights throughout the unit which I thought were really cool. The air bnb is in a safe and quiet neighborhood and is a convenient location. The bed itself was very comfortable and we enjoyed being able to cook meals with a full kitchen and be able to do laundry. I would definitely will return when back in San Diego.

This is the second time I have stayed at Nicole's place. The location is great, we walked to restaurants, grocery store and of course, the beach! Nicole's place is so comfortable. Nicole is also very quick to respond. Check-in and check-out was simple. I will definitely check availability here the next time I will be in Encinitas!

Camp Jackson is an amazing place with great view of the ocean and good location to go in and out of San Diego. It looks just like the pictures and everything you need for a stay. It really had everything from kitchen supplies to bathroom. Also plenty of beach chairs, umbrella even beach bags. Lisa was very responsive and gave plenty of recommendations from restaurants and told us about The Coaster. A train to take into SD. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Great location, close walk to the beach. Our family of 4 enjoyed using the boogie boards, beach chairs and bikes that were available to us. Coffee shops and breweries were close by. Warrens place was perfect for our little getaway. Would highly recommend!

We had a great time! The location is amazing, very close to the beach and to restaurants and shops! We loved the Dutch door and backyard!

Had a great time, beautiful setting and so serene! Love the backyard setup and high ceilings. Great hosts too, 5 stars!

Great place, my wife and I really enjoyed the location and proximity to the beach and restaurants. Heather was very responsive throughout our stay.

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!

The apartment is, well appointed, spacious & complete with everything you could want. The gardens are beyond beautiful, with lots of interesting trees and shrubbery and even a walking trail around the whole property. The pool is lovely and child safe. We felt very safe, there was an entry code for the front gate and another for our unit. The whole house is located in a beautiful, upscale area.

I had a great time staying at Thelma De La Paz’s place! The space was cozy, very clean, and exactly what I needed for a comfortable stay. Thelma was a wonderful host - polite, welcoming, and super responsive to any questions I had. Highly recommend!

We had such an amazing time. So many activities to do at Kathleen’s. Our kids love the pond, swimming pool, fishing, pickleball, and appreciate all the outdoors amenities. Definitely a gem to visit for families. The home is a little dated. But all the outdoor activities make up for it.

The guest house on Kris’s plot was as advertised and just what we needed for our stay in North County SD. Thanks for the wonderful time! My kids had a particularly good time.

My mom and I had a wonderful stay in this beautiful condo. The location is amazing- walking distance to La Costa Resort restaurants and a short drive to beautiful beaches and shopping areas. We hope to stay here again in the future!

We absolutely loved our stay here!! Greg checked us in and was super helpful and Michelle was great about checking in and even made us a treat. They were there if we needed them but were also great at giving us privacy and letting us enjoy ourselves. Although we were out and about exploring and wine tasting, it would be a great place to hang out at for the day as well with the pool, hot tub, and hang out places around the property. It was a very calming place to just get up make breakfast and chill before getting going on the day. I will definitely be staying here again when we need a place in the area. Couldn’t recommend this spot enough.

Tuvimos una estancia muy tranquila y placentera. La zona es muy bonita y esta céntrica para trasladarte. se adapto a nuestras necesidades de 2 cuartos 5 y personas. Lo unico que podria mencionar como area de oportunidad es que solo cuenta con un baño en la planta alta.
