LOWER UNIT- STEPS TO THE BEACH, WALK TO VILLAGE

10/10 Excellent
"My family and I did a stay for Labor Day weekend. The location was fantastic. It was a short walk down to the beach. There is some erosion at Tamarack, but if you walked a few minutes south, there was a large sandy beach area. It was about a 15 minute walk to Carlsbad Village. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. The condo was a good size for a family of 5. The unit didn’t have A/C, but open windows and the owner-provided fans kept it pleasant. The garage was really nice to keep our car and beach gear inside as well. We would stay again."
