Luxury & Comfort IN the Village. Walk everywhere.

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 37 reviews3 months ago

The spot is in a perfect spot of Carlsbad. Extremely walkable, but a few blocks off of the busy street so that you don’t get the car traffic noise. We did notice the train whistles the first day, but really didn’t notice it too much the other days. Less than 10 minute walk to the beach, lots of great restaurants and shopping nearby as well. The stay was cozy and felt like home. Each of the three couples had their own bedroom and there was another bedroom for the two kids to stay as well. Each couple also got their own bathroom, which was very nice. There was plenty of space in order to not feel like people were on top of each other. Had all the comforts of home and was spotlessly clean when we arrived. All the linens were fresh, and it was very well decorated. The host, Kimmy, was friendly and very responsive with questions and offering helpful guidance. We would definitely recommend staying at this place!

We stayed for two nights at this beautiful house with an amazing view. Located on a hill, we were able to relax on the balcony while enjoying the sunrise, sunset, and stunning evening skies. The indoor jacuzzi with its large windows was also excellent. Everything was clean, the kitchen was well-equipped, and communication with the host was quick and smooth. There’s also a peaceful and beautiful hiking trail behind the house. We would love to stay here again.

Fallbrook's Finest Hideaway Casa - Pool, Game Rm

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 49 reviews1 month ago

The stay was amazing, I booked this place at the last moment as the place I originally booked was nothing like the listing. I was hesitant at first, but I actually met her while she was at the house and she is so sweet and she eased all of my anxieties. I was traveling alone to visit my husband on base and as a young female along I was worried but she assured me of how safe the area was and how kind the neighbors were. This is the guest house and during my stay the main house had visitors as well and we didn’t have many troubles with them I will state that the houses could have better sound proofing, we could hear everything that was happening upstairs in the main house and one of those visitors mentioned they could hear me as well. The parking is a little difficult, the driveway is very steep and I would recommend she puts the address by the driveway somewhere, it was difficult for my husband to find it at night time

Micheal and Anne were thee BEST host we ever had! They went Above and Beyond for our stay! The homemade Banana bread are to freaking die for!💚 and coming from a 4 hour drive to a place with wine and such a beautiful view was such a bonus. I love the fact that they interacted with us, gave us directions to the oceanside and overall answered our messages even if they were 12 at night! Thanks for best birthday weekend ever.

Cactus Garden Cottage...Best Location!!!

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 193 reviews3 weeks ago

We had a different place reserved for our weekend stay in Fallbrook and unfortunately, it had been double booked, leaving us with no place to stay on a Friday at 5pm. Margot responded immediately to our booking request and we were so appreciative that she was willing to accommodate us at the last minute. The Cactus Garden Cottage was absolutely lovely, and the grounds were gorgeous. I loved drinking coffee in the garden. Margot was a wonderful host and very responsive to our questions. We would absolutely stay again! Thank you for everything!

Cozy Beach Escape: Walk to Beach & Village

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 51 reviews1 week ago

We had a wonderful experience at Mark's place, which was just as advertised and conveniently located only a block from the beach. My son enjoyed surfing twice a day, easily walking to the beach with his board. The location truly enhances the overall experience. The accommodations met our needs perfectly. The beds were comfortable, and we appreciated having a washer and dryer. The kitchen was well-equipped, allowing us to prepare meals with ease. Mark was very organized and provided clear instructions throughout our stay. He was also kind, accommodating, and flexible when we requested to extend our visit at the last minute. I would definitely recommend Mark's place to anyone seeking a convenient beachside getaway, especially for those who want to explore various nearby restaurants within walking distance!
