Wonderful Stay!
We had a great holiday here. The flat was exactly as described and had everything we needed. The location was excellent, we could walk everywhere and Faye was very friendly and easy to work with. We can only recommend this spot and plan to be back again next year!

Carlsbad is the best
I rented this place because I wanted to be in the heart of Carlsbad Village. The location was absolutely perfect. We could walk to everything. So, as far as location, this place is perfect. The owner did an excellent job communicating with me over a glitch with the portable air conditioning unit. Which we got resolved.

Modest accommodation in an ideal location. Short walk to the coast, beach, sunset walks, State Street food and drink. Reserved parking space is a delight, especially during busy times.

Middle of the action
Upstairs condo was just the right size for my husband and I to visit friends for graduation celebration. Felt safe, away from the busiest streets, yet very accessible to all we needed, especially to walk the Carlsbad promenade or beach. All kinds of shops and restaurants nearby. The condo itself is older but comfortable. Bed was good. Kitchen was adequate for the cooking we did. The hostess was always available if needed, though we missed meeting her as she was under the weather.

Great rental near beach
We enjoyed very much our stay at Tutu's Place. The condo was clean, comfortable, and located conveniently close to the beach and downtown Carlsbad. The cost was reasonable. It was a little noisy but then we live in the country and aren't used to city noises. Overall it was a very positive experience and we would definitely return.

Laid-Back & Relaxed
My husband & I spent 4 days at TuTu's in mid-September. It was very relaxing & laid-back. The space was compact, but not cramped, & very comfortable. The complex was small & this 2nd floor unit had a vaulted wood ceiling (touch of classic California design!) to help with cooling. There is not central air in the unit, but ceiling fans & stand fans kept it cool enough with screens & ocean breezes. There is a portable A/C unit in the bedroom that was appreciated for sleeping. We chose not to rent a car and this was a good location in regard to Carlsbad Village Train/Bus Station, beach, & restaurants. Getting to a real grocery store was a 1-1.2 mile walk (or we could have taken a bus), but no hills & plenty of pedestrian crossings. And there is a 7-11 right across the street if you don't mind paying convenience store prices. Faye was very responsive to any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again should we come back to the area!

Accommodating hosts
Hosts were very accommodating. Because of a big storm in California, we came three days late. They were able to add these days on at the end so we had our full 7 days. This was much appreciated!

Great place by the beach
This property and area was awesome. Clean and stocked with all you need. The area can’t be beat. Restaurants, coffee, and bars close by. Parking right below the unit. Fans cool the place down. Bed was a little squeaky but comfortable. Nice towels. Didn’t use the beach stuff but there was some beach stuff also. Stay here!

Why they chose this property

We love this condo complex! This was the property we stayed at when we first visited Carlsbad. We discovered how wonderful a location this is for our walks to the beach, exploring the village, and spending Tutu (Grandparent) time with our young grandson who learned to walk here. After our initial 10 day stay, we decided the Monterey Gage condos was perfect for us, and knew that we would be returning.

What makes this property unique

Despite its modest square footage, the unit feels spacious because of its open beam ceilings and vented skylight. An added benefit - there's no one above us or below us. This condominium complex provides privacy yet gives easy access to the vibrant Carlsbad community.
