Stunning Beach Oasis w/ Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay here couldn’t have been better - this truly is a home away from home stocked with everything you could possibly need to enjoy your visit to Carlsbad. We loved all the beach gear, blankets and towels, pristine hot tub, plentiful device chargers, toiletries, abundant pantry supplies, and labels for everything - not to mention the fantastic location with easy access to the beach and the village. Overall just super clean and organized with thoughtful touches all around: great hospitality and a model for how I really wish all VRBO properties were maintained. Hunter was super helpful and responsive. Our stay was 100% worth it and we’d definitely stay here again."
