About this property

Light and bright beach retreat

Be one of many who have stayed in this light and bright condo in the heart of Carlsbad Village. (Carlsbad STVR#1242819) Total remodel is finished creating a light, bright, open space. The theme of light and bright is realized with mainly creamy whites and aquamarine blues to lend a feeling of calm.... complimented with splashes of bright, happy colors that exude FUN! This unit is a desirable END unit. No one is above, below, or on one side!!

Walk out the door and you are within 1 block of one of California's most desired beaches- a six mile stretch of white sand with a well designed boardwalk for walking or running. Explore the unique boutiques, restaurants and entertainment just steps away in Carlsbad Village. Outdoor concerts, unique shopping, fabulous restaurants, street fairs, and even a marathon are a sampling of the varied activities to enjoy.

The condo feels fresh and clean with new everything! We have tile floors in the main living area/bathroom, and warmer wood floors in the bedroom. Sink into the new king size bed with high quality mattress and linens to feel totally cozy and comfortable. There is also a high quality, slipcovered queen sofa sleeper in the living room.

Accommodations include:
*Flat screen HD television
*Wi-Fi/Internet
*DVD/CD Player
*Tastefully designed kitchen with fun utensils and serving ware
*Beach supplies: boogie boards, tote, small cooler, blanket, umbrella, toys, and towels.

This unit is a unique find in a very unique vacation spot. We have created a space that is perfect for whatever type of vacation you want: quiet and relaxing or active and adventurous! Be one of the first to stay!

Nice beach apartment
If you want a good location for access to beach, bars and restaurants, this is a perfect place. The supply of beach chairs, towels, umbrella, cooler, and boogie boards was a nice feature! However, be prepared for train whistles. Would stay here again!

Great location in Carlsbad
We loved our month long stay at this location. Best part: we were a 5 minute walk to the beach and 2 minute walk into the Village. The unit was clean and comfortably updated. We cooked at home many nights and there was adequate cookware to enable it. The shared laundry has an app so I did not have to hoard quarters, which was nice. As others have said, there is a train that runs right through Carlsbad. You’ll hear it. But we enjoyed being able to walk to the train and took it quite a few times into Encinitas, O-Side and San Diego. We loved it here and will stay at this rental again.

Great Place in a Great Town
Very happy with the stay. Close to beach, close to village restaurants. Well stocked with beach chairs, beach towels, etc. Wish it was not so close to the train tracks as the Coaster starts early in the morning, but obviously not something the owner controls.

Fantastic Condo
The condo was very clean with all the necessary appliances. It was in a top floor private location. Stores and restaurants and the beach were just a short walk away. Onsite parking was provided. Great owner. Hope to stay in this condo in the future.

Great Place to Stay with Two Cons
The location is great. The condo was clean and well stocked. Timothy was great to work with. Our only cons were the train runs all night. By the 4th day, we kind of got used to it. The other con was the bed and pillows were uncomfortable. Other than that, great place to stay.

Light & Bright Between the Holidays
We like to make a getaway between Thanksgiving & Christmas. This year we stayed in Carlsbad at the Light & Bright property for the first time. We loved it. Great location, easy walking distance to all amenities, the beach, and easy access to the Coaster train if you'd like a trip into San Diego (e.g. step off at Old Town). Very nice condo with all that you need, including a parking space.

The Condo was exactly what we expected ! Very comfortable and clean. Only suggestion, in the description of the rental information, make sure guest realize your need to be okay with climbing stairs. Condo is located on the second floor. Other then that an amazing Condo. Its walking distance of tons of shops, restaurants, liquor store and a 7-Eleven right on the corner. Thanks Timothy !

A slice of paradise
We throughly enjoyed our stay. The condo was so cutely decorated with a very beach vibe. The condo was well appointed and was stocked extremely well for cooking meals. Such a bonus to have beach chairs, towels, boogie boards etc. We come to Carlsbad every summer for a week and multiple times a year for a long weekend. We will definitely be booking with this property again in the near future. The proximity to everything in the village was amazing and the beach a short one block walk. Everything was perfect!!

Great beach location
The one-bedroom condo was convenient both to the beach and the grandboys. It was clean, comfortable, and relatively quiet. One night of restaurant music until 10 pm and occasional train noise, but we slept like babies. We had everything we needed. It was a great week!

We really enjoyed our stay in this unit. The unit was updated, clean, very comfortable experience for our three week stay. Communication with the owner was timely and good. We have stayed in this area for our fourth time. We love it because we love to walk, five minutes to the beach, a beautiful walk along the ocean, about 2 1/2 miles each way. Carlsbad Village also about a five minute walk to many restaurants to choose from. Grocery store about a mile away from unit. Highly recommend this unit and area for a great stay. Have fun

A Great Couples Spot and at a Great Price!
We found this place to be attractive, comfortable and spotlessly clean. It had everything needed to cook a meal. It was a short walk to many places to eat and a short distance to the beach. An added bonus was a dedicated parking spot. I would recommend it to a friend. The owners were very thoughtful in decorating this rental.

About the host

Hosted by Timothy

Host profile image
We are a family of 6, living in Oregon. Timothy grew up surfing in San Diego and has dreamed of someday returning to the sun, the beach and to his family. This condo is our first step toward that dream! Although the condo is not large enough for the 6 of us, we have a plan so that we can all enjoy a little time in our paradise!

Why they chose this property

After driving the coastline looking for the ideal spot, we drove into Carlsbad Village, looked at the condo and we just knew it was right!. It has the same small, quaint, safe feel of the community of our Oregon beach house.....unique and artsy, fun blend of old and new, casual, friendly.....with one distinguishing factor: SUN!

What makes this property unique

This place is in the heart of the best beach community in San Diego County. This condo is in a small complex and feels like a home, rather than a large corporate condo complex. The Village has numerous restaurants, boutique shops, amazing beaches, super friendly people and is centrally located to many activities North and South. There is a certain vibe here that can only be experienced. Come check it out.
