Last Minute Booking
We are in the same area and had to leave our home due to a hot water slab leak. I contacted Cyndi and she responded quickly. The property was clean and ready for us. There is so much room for all of my family. The house is so comfortable and it was very relaxing while we were there. Cyndi is a fantastic host. She responded very quickly to anything that we needed to make our stay stress free. We are so thankful for having the place that we needed and are grateful.

Perfect!
I rented this property so that people flying into town could all stay together. The home is beautiful and there was more than enough room for the 9 people who stayed there. Cynthia was wonderful and very responsive to any questions I had. I highly recommend this property and would rent any property managed by Cynthia again! Thank you!

Legoland and beach getaway with extended family
We planned our first visit to Legoland with our grandkids. This property provided a comfortable home base about 10 minutes from the park, a 5-10 minute walk to the beach and one exit from the quaint Carlsbad Village with lots of restaurants and shops. A Vons grocery store was a few blocks away making it easy to stock food throughout our 5 day stay. The house had plenty of large bedrooms for us, our kids and 5 grandchildren. The kitchen was well appointed and common areas very comfortable. We used the pool/spa every day and Cynthia was a wonderful host and easy to communicate with via the VRBO message site.

Carlsbad vacation
Location of the home was good, having access to a pool and spa with a backyard was a hit. The house provided enough space and rooms that everyone felt they had their space. Unfortunately the kitchen, specifically the sink area needs updates and we had an issue with cockroaches. The owner responded quickly when contacted but there is not a short term solution. We did not feel comfortable preparing meals and with young children did not want to spray chemicals on the counter tops. .

Family Vaca
My husband and I brought our adult children with their spouses and three grandbabies to Carlsbad for a family getaway. This place was perfect. We all had our own rooms and bathrooms (keeping harmony in the family). The shared space was great. The home was very clean and had plenty of extra things to make us feel like we were right at home. We loved the pool! The location was amazing, we hardly had to drive anywhere. We walked to the "Village", to the beach, to the lagoons, to the bike paths, etc... Cyndi was incredibly responsive throughout the whole rental process. I was so amazed at how quickly she responded to our correspondence. We would definitely rent this home again in the future!

Spacious home with pool perfect for family vacation
The house is well kept, there is a lot of space to hang out , and it is a great location for a short drive to the beach, downtown Carlsbad, and legoland. The pool and spa were great! We spent a lot of time doing that. The master bedroom and bathroom is very nice. The additional studio above the garage is really great if you have multiple families and want a separate space. Because the house accepts pets, the family room couch does have a little pet odor to it, but not so extreme that you couldn’t sit there. Overall, it was really nice. I would book again!

Fantastic Value in Carlsbad
My work colleagues and I stayed at Cynthia's house this past week and the overall experience was exceptional. The house has everything that you need for several individuals to be comfortable, and we spent many hours enjoying the pool/spa/outdoor area. Would absolutely stay at this property again next time we are visiting Carlsbad!

Carlsbad visit
We had a great time at this property. The location was perfect, a walk to the beach or a quick drive. The pool was lovely and enjoyed by all. There is lots of space for family to spread out when needed. All but one bedroom is upstairs so that could be an issue if mobility is an problem. Lots of parking for us - very appreciated as street parking was sometimes hard to find. We appreciated Cyndi checking with us and assisting with the pool. Highly recommend!

Large family getaway
This house is perfect for a large family to enjoy spending time together. The pool , spa and grassy area in the backyard work well for toddlers to seniors. . Inside there are two gathering areas plus plenty of beds and bathrooms for everyone. The kitchen is well equipped and the wine cellar was a hit with the kids as their hideout, house, jail, and pirate den. We had a great week.

Perfect Spot for a Family Reunion
This is the perfect place for a large family to vacation together. Bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone! The kitchen is fully stocked with lots of dishes and cutlery. Tons of towels, extra pillows and blankets. The living areas are spacious and comfortable. It was easy for everyone to find a comfortable spot to relax. Wifi supported all the people in the house too. The pool area was the highlight for our family. Even though the weather wasn't great, the hot tub was toasty warm and the kids swam in the pool anyway. A quick dip back in the hot tub was all the needed to keep swimming. Conveniently located 10 minute walk from Tamarack beach. Plenty of beach chairs and toys provided. Also conveniently located close to the freeway (perfect for day trips)... and Starbucks. Carlsbad town was about 15 minute walk away. Full of cute shops and restaurants. Cyndi was helpful and really easy to reach. Communication was awesome! Highly recommend this home as a comfortable, convenient and FUN place for a large group.

Great family spot!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay over the Christmas holidays! We were a family of 8 adults and had plenty of room to spread out. It was easy to make meals at home. We had wonderful weather and were able to use the jacuzzi in the large backyard. We were also able to walk into Carlsbad village (about a 20 minute walk). We would definitely stay at Cyndi"s place again!

Great house for Large Family or Multiple Families!! Lots of room to spread out!
We had a great time in Carlsbad. Location of the house was great! Pool and Spa were very nice. We were there with 3 families. My Family (2 adults 2 kids) My sisters family (2 adults and 2 kids) and my Parents (2 adults). We had plenty of room to spread out. Having 3 rooms with attached bathrooms was amazing! Having the 1 bedroom downstairs was great for my parents as they have a little more trouble with Stairs then we do. (although this does not have an attached bathroom). The Kitchen has lots of pots and pans, dishes, utensils, etc... We did not lack anything there. The formal dinner table is a little high compared to the chairs so the kids had to sit at the table in the kitchen (so they could reach their plates) but I think they preferred that anyways! LOL My husband and I actually stayed in the Studio apt above the garage. It was nice to be able to have the space to break away from everyone from time to time. The only minor things with this room was that, as in the whole house, there was no AC so the days it was 88 there it felt very warm in there. They do provide 2 fans but when they are both on high it's very loud. The main house felt much cooler with great cross breezes. The bed was also very loud when you just rolled over. Like a weird scrunching or Crinkle noise (not sure how to describe) But when 1 tosses and turns at night it tends to annoy the other person. lol The bunk beds were awesome for the kids! They loved it! My Teenager also loved that he got his own room away from the Younger ones!! This house had to shortage of rooms to spread out in! The Backyard was very nice. The patio Chairs were a little worn but there were some extra chairs in the garage we were able to use. There wasn't enough light to eat outside at night but we could hang out and BBQ till we were ready to eat. Kids loved coming back and swimming Day and night. I had a hard time trying to work the pool and spa heater but Cyndi was SUPER HELPFUL and responsive every time I texted about ANYTHING!! Overall we had a great Experience and would recommend this house to anyone!!

Perfect Spring Break
We celebrated our spring break with our family of 12, including multiple generations from age 6-56. The house was perfectly accommodated us with spacious bedrooms, plenty of bathrooms and a well-equipped kitchen. Plenty of comfortable seating. But the highlight was the pool, hot tub and yard. It’s beautiful and we spent most of our time while at the house outside. We loved the pool design and depth (7ft!) and the hot tub was the best. Walked to beach everyday and had a great time in downtown Carlsbad. Visit the glass gallery!

Hosted by Cyndi Bausch

Host profile image
My husband and I are Southern California natives and enjoy managing this vacation rental home, and remodeling and selling homes nearby. (I'm a licensed real estate broker.) We live locally and are happy to help our guests enjoy Carlsbad and nearby attractions!

Why they chose this property

We love the beauty and calming effects of the beaches nearby, and the sunny weather is the best anywhere! The backyard pool, spa, BBQ, dining areas and grassy lawn make this the perfect family celebration spot. We grew up in Southern California and love it here!

What makes this property unique

The Mediterrenean style of the property is truly unique and fun! The furnishings were recently remodeled ... and the location is excellent... near the beach, Carlsbad Village, Legoland, shopping, restaurants, golf courses, racetrack, Sea World, parks and so many more attractions. The spacious open rooms allow the family to enjoy time together.... yet provide several relaxing getaway areas.
