Coastal Casita in Carlsbad Village — Now Available For Purchase (Turnkey Beachside Starter or Second Home)
If you’ve been looking for an easy, beach-adjacent condo you can enjoy personally and keep performing as a proven short-term rental, Coastal Casita is a rare fit. This 1BR / 1BA condo sleeps up to 3 and sits one block from the beach in the heart of Carlsbad Village—the kind of location that stays in demand year-round.
Why Coastal Casita stands out
- Prime walkable location: One block to the sand, plus restaurants, shops, and village vibes right outside your door.
- Comfort + updates already handled: Includes a Beautyrest king mattress (Nov 2024), mini-split A/C in living room + bedroom (May 2024), and other thoughtful upgrades.
- Guest-ready from day one: Fully equipped kitchen, beach gear (chairs, towels, umbrella, boogie boards, sand toys), and high-speed WiFi averaging 300+ Mbps.
- Operational practicality: One reserved covered parking spot, contactless check-in via smart lock, and clear house rules that align with City of Carlsbad quiet hours.
- Important note for buyers: The condo is on the second floor with stairs (no elevator).
A vacation rental with a track record you can verify
The owners have held Coastal Casita since August 18, 2016, and the home has built real guest credibility over time:
- Airbnb: 280 reviews, 4.86 / 5
- VRBO: 79 reviews, 9.8 / 10
That history matters—because it can help shorten the “ramp-up” period many new STR owners face.
Reviews & continuity options (important if you’re buying for STR use)
If you purchase Coastal Casita and keep Haustay Vacation Rentals as the property manager, the existing review history from both Airbnb and VRBO can continue to be used.
If you purchase and self-manage, the VRBO reviews can be transferred to the buyer, while Airbnb reviews are non-transferable (per Airbnb policy).
Who this condo is perfect for
- First-time coastal owners who want a manageable, high-demand 1BR footprint
- Second-home buyers who want to stay steps from the beach, then rent it when they’re away
- Lifestyle investors looking for a proven, guest-loved home in a location that sells itself
