Beach house holiday rentals in Carlsbad

Staying at Stephanie’s was great for us. The children’s books were a great touch as were the puzzles. The garage was full of toys for the beach, boogie boards and a wagon and sand toys. Everything we needed—plenty of towels. The master bedroom is a dream, quite large and accommodating. All in all we had a great time in prime location for us. Worth the price, don’t hesitate if available!

The place and host are fantastic. Me, my fiancé and dog really enjoyed ourselves. Dan was quick to respond to any questions we had. We would give 6 stars if we could. Highly recommend staying here. We will be back.

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

Place was great, walking distance to everything. Kimmy was very responsive and everything worked perfectly.

We had a fantastic stay at Clarissa’s place! The location is unbeatable—just a row of houses away from the beach and conveniently close to the Village, restaurants, and Legoland. Clarissa is an incredible host, always responsive and attentive to anything we needed. The home itself is well-equipped with everything you could ask for. We only used one bedroom in the back, and the bed was very comfortable. The long driveway behind a small gate was a huge plus, easily fitting our GMC truck and a smaller SUV. This home is also great for larger groups, with plenty of space to spread out. Highly recommend staying here—we’d love to come back!

We had a wonderful five night staying at Katie' s home. There are so many little touches that you can see the love and care she has taken for you to have a lovely stay. There was nothing we needed that we didn't find....to the point that when we brought so groceries in we purchased spices as we would normally for an air bnb...there was no need a huge selection. We enjoyed the pool and all the amenities. Our family consisted of my husband and myself, so we took one room. Our daughter, son in law and four year old grandson. As well as our other adult daughter. There was more than enough room for all. If you are considering but hesitant on price ...you won't be sorry if you do it. Her entire vibe and little touches make the experience as well. Right down to a turntable and a few great albums. Thanks for a lovely time. PS. take a moment to read her home manual, you will never be sorry, as you are staying in her home.

We loved how close to the beach and walking distance to restaurants, and coffee shops. We also enjoyed bringing our dog who loved the outdoor patio we would definitely stay again. Cute place and very clean.

We had a wonderful stay at this Imperial Beach townhome! The property was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. Communication with the host was excellent from start to finish, which made everything smooth and stress-free. The views were absolutely stunning, and the location couldn’t have been more ideal—close to everything yet peaceful and relaxing. We felt right at home and truly enjoyed every moment. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

Fantastic stay! Cynthia was very responsive and the location was excellent. We’d gladly stay again!!

Vanessa’s place was nothing short of amazing! The location is just unbearable. A walk to the beach/boardwalk, 5 min from Seaworld, 20 min from downtown. Near Mission beach and Pacific beach, surrounded by great restaurants. I could go on and on. It fit my family of 4 plus my mom and stepdad perfectly. We enjoyed the pool during the day and hot tub at night. The house has everything you could possibly want or need. We would absolutely stay there again and plan to!

We needed a home to stay in while work was being done on our home nearby. Little did we realize the flooding of our home would have such a silver lining. The home was welcoming and had everything we needed to feel like home - and then some!. We cooked, watched movies, ate al fresco most nights by the pool - which was the icing on the cake. The outdoor space was not only a pleasant surprise for us but also for our young german shepherd. It was literally an early summer vacation for us just 1 mile from home. Thank you!

This is one of our favorite townhouse among all the Airbnbs we’ve stayed in! 1. It’s very quiet and located in a gated community, which feels safe. 2. It’s close to the ocean. You can’t see the sea directly, but it’s just a few minutes’ walk to the beach. 3. The house is super comfortable and beautiful! The host provided almost everything we needed, which made our stay very convenient—we really appreciated that. 4. The community is lovely, with swimming pools and a large ocean-facing lounge. 5. The location is convenient. Although it’s in North San Diego, it’s only 6 minutes to Del Mar beach park and 30 minutes to the south. The only inconvenience: the host requires guests to wash all towels or pay a $100 fine. This meant we had to start doing laundry the day before check-out. Since check-out is at 10 AM and we also needed to clean the kitchen, we were rushing to wash and dry towels in the morning. This was not convenient. Everything else is very good!

Christine’s place was absolutely perfect for our family getaway! It’s conveniently located right next to Legoland, making it ideal for my niece and nephew. We had a group of 6 adults and 2 kids, and there was more than enough space for everyone to feel comfortable. The pool was a big hit, and we were provided with plenty of towels, toys, and other thoughtful amenities that made our stay so enjoyable. Thank you so much, Christine—we’ll definitely be back!

We stayed at Pete's place because it has a gorgeous pool (the pool slide was a huge hit), is close to Del Mar racetrack, and is close to the beach/ocean (you can see the ocean from the front yard). We took our two Bichons and felt safe and secure letting them out. We have family in San Diego and had a small family cook out on Sunday. The grill was awesome, and there are lots of fun things to do on the property, front and back yards. We didn't take advantage of the jacuzzi, but it was already heated up. Since the house doesn't have air conditioning, there were fans in the family room and bedroom. Large kitchen, so you can cook and bake if you don't want to eat out all the time. The house is single story, but outside there are lots of levels where you have to go up and down some single steps,so small children would need help and elderly or disabled folks may need help, too. Pete gave great directions about how to access the main entrance, and the self check-in security code.

Our stay at this property surpassed our expectations in so many ways! The photos didn't reflect how beautiful, clean, spacious, and private our airbnb was. There was so much for our family of 7 to enjoy during our 3 day stay, together & individually. Our kids enjoyed swinging on the swings, going up on their loft to get the beautiful ocean views, lounging around in their pool, and walking around & exploring all the nature that surrounds this home. We were really impressed with the Spanish modern design of this home and the cohesiveness of the modern and traditional design elelments-it made for stunning photos! The host resoonded promptly to every one of our question; they reponsed within the hour to every one of our questions.

My family had a wonderful stay at Jon’s house! The location is close to everything but also quiet and peaceful. We all enjoyed the beautiful pool and beds were very comfy, not to mention a beautiful kitchen to cook in. We didn’t want to leave!

Rarely do we ever return to a place we've stayed at before because we just want to make new memories and be open to new things. This place has been the exception, we couldn't wait to come back! We stayed at the Blue Ocean Cottage in May of 2024 and had such a great time that we did it again May of 2025! The proximity to the beach, the village and the quiet neighborhood can't be beat. This has been the perfect place for our family to spend time together, making dinner and playing games. Beach is so close, it's easy to pop over anytime. Grandparents (my wife and I) loved the cottage out back where we could have some quiet time to ourselves. The kids (twenty somethings) and grandchild equally enjoyed have their "own" space in the main house. Property is only 15 minutes from Oceanside harbor where we went on a whale/dolphin watch, which I can't recommend enough. It's about 10 minute drive to Legoland with traffic. Wonderful family memories at the Blue Ocean Cottage!

Renata’s home was immaculate and had everything we needed for a perfect vacation.

Wow - what an incredible treat to be able to stay in Lynn’s wonderful home. Lynn and her family could not have been more welcoming, hospitable, or friendly. We were so lucky to stay in this cottage by the sea, and are already planning our next trip back. Thank you, Lynn, Tyler, and Kitt!

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

This is our second time staying at this place. We will keep coming back! Very clean and in a quiet, private location on a quiet street. Beach is not very far away, and I love that I can actually park in the garage. The place is brand new and beautiful inside and the grand piano is a nice touch. Would recommend to anyone.

Such an amazing place to stay for a family vacation!!! The house was very clean with beautiful esthetic inside and out!! Easy access to the beach, shops, and food!!!!! Overall the best vacation our family has had!!! Hope to return next year for some more fun!

Mark’s place was as advertised…and then some. While this was only the second AirBnB I’ve used, I was extremely impressed with the range of household items available, making it seem every possible need had been anticipated.

This place is GORGEOUS. My guests and I kept saying we wish we could live there forever! Walking location to many amazing locations, and a great price for such a newly renovated, beach view location. Thank you so much!
