Very pleased with our stay, location, and the Vacation in Carlsbad team. We stayed in SURF - upper middle door - and had enough room for two teens, hubby, and myself. Check in was a breeze as we finally arrived at 1:30 am and basically walked right in, travel weary, to a homey feel. I always bring basic cleaning supplies when we travel but did NOT need to use them - this is a first! Everything was spotless, clean, and well organized. Kitchen necessities, detergents, laundry, and high-end bathroom essentials were well stocked and easy to find. Place was decorated in a fun Cali vibe. Beds and pillows were comfortable to sleep with for the entire week. Beach was a very quick walk down the block, turn left to crosswalk, then down to the sand. If you aren't familiar, all traffic must stop when crosswalk lights are in use. Downtown Carlsbad was a short walk, down the block then turn right. Walk is 5-10 minutes to great food and fun shopping. Game room was fun but could use an update - pinball and foosball table could be replaced. We still enjoyed some evening time with the other games. Apparently there were other renters, but we didn't hear anything. No tv's, music, or even doors. The Vacation in Carlsbad team was friendly and introduced themselves when around. We would DEFINITELY book directly with the Vacation in Carlsbad team should we be lucky enough to visit Carlsbad again. If this is your first experience with rentals or Carlsbad vacationing, be sure to look up Vacation in Carlsbad and feel confident in choosing any of their locations.
