Stunning Views, Beautiful Home, and Amazing Beach Access
by Cassie
5/5
The pictures do not do this place justice- stunning view and beautiful home. Extremely kind and proactive messages from hosts and felt if we needed anything they were only a text away. The beach access was amazing as was the community.
Unbeatable Oceanfront Location for a Family Surf Getaway
by Lauren
5/5
The location of this house is absolutely unbelievable. Right on the water, endless views of the ocean, front row seat to the best surfing in SoCal, beautiful sunsets. You honestly can't get any better! We had a lovely family vacation here, perfect for lounging with the family and BBQ-ing. We even got out and surfed a few days!
The home itself is a bit older but it's charming. The bedrooms and bathrooms have what you need but it's not anything fancy. There also isn't any AC, but we really didnt need it all in peak July summer (maybe 75-80 during the day), but if there was a heat wave then maybe this would have been an issue. We lucked out and had a great breeze so it didn't matter.
The high tide is real but it gets lower twice a day and we were able to go down and walk along the beach. This changes tho, sometimes early morning or late night. So check the tides, it's not a beach all day. But we made it work and still got a lot of surfing in and the kids were out catching crabs!
Unforgettable Beachfront Stay with Outstanding Hospitality
by Phillip
5/5
Our hearts are filled with gratitude for the opportunity to experience an unforgettable beachfront vacation at this amazing property! The overall property was perfect for our family vacation needs! From the 180 degree beach views, to the breathtaking sunsets, to the private staircase right down to the beach, we are so thankful we booked this home! In addition, the host team was very responsive, accommodating, and most of all so kind to us throughout our entire stay. After staying in many AirB&B's, we must say that the level of care shown by this host exceeded our expectations and they deserve the 5 star review for their 5 star service!!

Breathtaking Beachfront Escape Worth Every Moment
by Marlis
5/5
We debated renting this house due to the high nightly rate, but after some time we decided to splurge for our 30th wedding anniversary. The location on the beach was breathtaking! The outdoor patio was our main living and dining area while we watched the endless stream of surfers, occasional marine wildlife, the pelican air force, and the spectacular sunsets next to the outdoor firepit. During low tide we were able to take long walks on the beach with our puppy, Archie. It was quintessential San Diego beach living! Inside - The house is beachy decorated and well furnished. We felt very comfortable ... right at home. We brought our puppy, who also felt very much at home :-) The view from the living room, dining room, and kitchen large picture windows offers an endless ocean view. The beds are comfortable and it's important to keep windows open to have the ocean serenade you to sleep. We literally did not leave the house for all 4 days ... it was home away from home.
Beautiful Oceanfront Home with Private Beach Access & a Seamless Stay
by Fay
5/5
Beautiful location and home and looks just like the pictures with gorgeous views and private access to the beach. The amenities were as listed and we felt at home during our vacation. No central AC but we stayed in April with daily temperatures in the 70s - home was very comfortable with windows open during the day and slept comfortably at night with windows closed and ceiling fans running at night. Host easy to contact and responsive to questions. Clear instructions for check-in and out and helpful binder of information at check-in. Great experience at house and with Haustay.

Unbeatable Oceanfront Stay with Stunning Views & Easy Beach Access
by Amir
5/5
We had an amazing stay at this home. The location is unbeatable—right on the ocean with stunning views that we enjoyed every day. There’s a nice pathway with easy access down to the beach, which made it even more special. The house itself is great—very comfortable and well-equipped. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need. Overall, it’s a beautiful place. We especially appreciated being able to enjoy the stay with our dog—it made the experience even better for us. The check-in and check-out process was completely seamless and hassle-free. We absolutely loved our time here and would definitely come back.
Unforgettable Oceanfront Stay with Stunning Views & Thoughtful Comfort
by Heather
5/5
This was such a fantastic experience! The views were amazing. The house was beautiful and decorated nicely. There was everthing available for our needs. We used the bbq and everything was there that we needed to use i( grill brush, tongs, olive oil, plates,platter, ect..)We wanted something right on the beach, but needed something with no /few stairs for my mom. There was a couple steps for the entrance and the back porch. This was perfect for my mom. We gave her the biggest bedroom because it has a seat in the shower. Which was fine with us as one of the bedrooms had a door to the back patio with an ocean view. We loved listening to the ocean roar as we went to sleep every night. The beds were very comfortable and clean. The patio was great. Lots of seating of various kinds to enjoy the ocean. The beach was very nice with very few foot traffic. We do wish the path down to the beach had handrails all the way and not just in the middle. We would definitely stay here again! We LOVED it!!

Incredible views and wonderfully responsive hosts! The house was fully equipped with everything we needed, and we loved that each bedroom had its own full bathroom. The deck was fabulous! We enjoyed grilling and dining outdoors, and the fire pit/lounge chairs made the perfect spot to transition from sunset to evening drinks. Every detail felt thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation. We would absolutely recommend booking this place if it’s available!

House is very clean and well appointed, especially appreciated garage for our car and all of the surf equipment, chairs, umbrella, and toys!
Nighttime with gas firepit extra nice.

Incredible Stay with Stunning Views and a Peaceful Patio!
by Adam
5/5
The place was incredible and we will definitely be back. Amazing view, and the patio is an incredible space to journal, read, meditate, catch up with people you love, etc.
My one complaint is that my wife and I both sleep warm and despite opening all the windows, it was still very warm in the primary bedroom and we had to make use of the fans in the house at night.
We will plan future trips for cooler months.

We had such a great time here, you are ON the water, it is so amazing! We loved the outdoor propane fire place at night and we swam in the day. I love when houses have coffee for you :) The house is super cute too, I loved all the old oil paintings, and the furniture, great beach vibe.

Spacious, Well-Equipped Home with Stunning Ocean Views – A Perfect Getaway!
by Michael
5/5
This is very comfortable, roomy, well-equipped house in a FANTASTIC location. The only negative was that due to the high tides at the time of our visit, there was no walk-able beach. The proximity to the Carlsbad Beaches, however, gave us easy opportunity to get in some sand/water time. The accessible garage included all the beach equipment, including an umbrella.
But the ocean and sunset views and amenities at the house were so outstanding that we stayed away for minimal time.
We had a short, but perfect vacation at this beautiful property!

Cozy Oceanfront Retreat with Tide Pools, Waves & Seamless Service
by Valerie
5/5
Our stay was delightful. We left relaxed and refreshed. Each morning we awakened to the sounds of crashing waves and expansive ocean views. The home is cozy and comfortable as is the back patio that was perfect for meals, soaking up the sun and evening chats. The morning tide pools were great to explore and we spent a lot of time walking the beach. It was a fabulous beach weekend for our party of six adults. I also want to commend the property management team on their excellent communication. Instructions were clear and they were immediately responsive to our needs. Really glad to have enjoyed this home and looking forward to visiting again soon.
Unmatched Peace, Privacy, and Oceanfront Serenity
by Marta
5/5
I've never been anywhere more peaceful than this place. Perched on a cliff with a garden path leading down to a semi-private beach (which also happens to be a popular surf spot), it feels like your own slice of coastal heaven. You can spend the whole day lounging in a chair, listening to the waves crash and soaking in the salty breeze. Watching surfers and birdwatching adds to the charm.
The house itself is a simple, clean, single-level beach cottage with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms—but the real gem is the unobstructed 180° ocean view from the living room. That alone is worth a million bucks. And honestly, for the price, it's a steal. I can't think of another place where you get this much peace, privacy, comfort, and that kind of view. I wish I could live here!
Spacious Home with Stunning Views and Thoughtful Hosting
by Melanie

You really can't beat the ocean view at this home! My family and I spent our entire time soaking up the view during our stay. The home was spacious for my family & I. We had everything we needed in each room and appreciate the proactive support from the hosts on checking in/ out and with other items needed. I would love to come back.

Unforgettable Beachfront Escape with Stunning Views & Perfect Location!
by Mei
5/5
Our family had an unforgettable weekend at this stunning beachfront home. Without a doubt, it's one of the best beach properties we've ever stayed at. The panoramic, unobstructed view of the Pacific Ocean is absolutely breathtaking, and the private stairway leading directly to the sand made our beach access seamless and convenient.
The home itself radiates peace and serenity, providing the perfect escape for rest and relaxation. Yet, it's also ideally located - just a short and easy drive to Carlsbad Village, where we enjoyed exploring a variety of excellent restaurants, charming shops, and local attractions.
The kitchen was fully stocked with quality cookware and utensils, which made preparing meals a breeze and added a warm, homey touch to our stay. Every detail was thoughtfully considered to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
We had a fantastic time and would wholeheartedly recommend this beautiful home and look forward to returning in the future.

Phenomenal view, beautiful and comfortable home, great communication with host. Everything was perfect. Furniture is appropriate to period of home but still quite comfortable and well maintained. Big living room area with huge windows was family gathering perfection. House has new windows, which provided easy and adequate ventilation and the roaring sound of the sea in every room. Kitchen well stocked with every dish and gadget necessary. We were pleased with this beautiful home and fantastic location. Checkout was a breeze, literally all they asked was for us to start the dishwasher and enter a specific door code to let them know we were departing, which we were happy to do! Best and easiest Airbnb check out ever. We will be back!

This is a wonderful home right above an amazing view of the ocean and beach with it's own private access down to the water/sand. High tide covers the beach but low tide lasts for awhile and uncovers a bunch of tide pools that are fun to explore with the family. Lots of cookware and kitchen supplies as well. The great room and kitchen is large and a nice space to hang out with everyone while you listen to the sounds of the waves crashing against the sand. Dolphins, seals, surfers and lobster hunters are some

Shore Drive is an absolutely wonderful home! From your step into the house the view is spectacular and gets even more spectacular as you enter the living room and interior of the home. The house has been very well maintained, was very clean, and the kitchen is large and fully equipped for making meals at home and having wine and hors d'oeuvres on the patio . The patio off the living room and dining room is spacious and was very private while we were there. Our evenings were spent on the patio listening to

This place is awesome. Breathtaking views of the ocean from the main rooms of the house. Private steps down to the shore. Large private patio with lounge chairs and table so you can relax outside while looking at the ocean. House was very clean and modern for a beach house. All bathroom facilities worked well, and having 3 bedrooms each with their own bathroom and shower was fantastic. Kitchen has everything you need, and even Kurerig coffee is provided. Clothes Washer and dryer work well, as did the stove,

Beautiful clean house, definitely as advertised. Ocean at low tide probably 100 yards away from the bottom of the stairs, revealing a nice set of tidal pools with anemone, crabs, sea grass and other creatures, and at high tide is close to the stairs. The house itself is comfy, has a small shower on the side to rise off on, and tons of natural light. Beds are comfy and kitchen is well stocked with cooking accessories spice / oil etc. Thanks again for the stay!

We had a wonderful stay during our Spring Break! This is exactly what I was looking for!! Windows to stare out to the beautiful ocean, patio to lounge/eat and stare out to the beautiful ocean and steps to a pretty private beach!! It was amazing to wake up to see the surfers up early waiting to catch the waves, to the tide pools during low tide, to steps taking you down to a water. Fantastic!!! The home provided all the amenities we needed - garage, beach gear, washer/dryer. We had such a memorable time her

Organize your beach time around the tides (low tides best for exploring) high tides best for surfing and swimming.

Talk about a view. If you are looking to get away with the family and want a great place to relax, this is the place. Easy to check in and out. You could easily sit on the couch or any of the many chairs on the balcony and lose yourself the the sunny and calm view for hours on end. Beds were comfortable and kitchen well stocked. If you have a large family or group this is a great place to stay.

Add to this the great layout of the house with a bedroom and its fully stocked kitchen, where preparing meals while looking out on the ocean is amazing. The setup of the home is great for an adult getaway with an open floor plan where every seat in the kitchen, dining room, living room and TV alcove has a perfect view of the ocean. The second bedroom has a great setup where you op

We absolutely loved our stay at this beach house! The view is incredible, we enjoyed sitting on the back patio watching the waves and surfers. The view from inside the home is spectacular as well. We spent many hours walking and playing on the beach, and exploring tide pools when the tide was low. Haustay was an amazing host, they had the home stocked with anything and everything we could need. They were very professional and communicated well with us. We would definitely rent from Haustay again, and return

Amazing Family VacationCan't say enough good things about this property!
The view is absolutely stunning, the stairs leading down to the water is great, the windows when open provide the nicest of ocean breezes, and it's close to many different things in Carlsbad and SD.My wife and our three boys had a blast and can't wait to come back again.
The only thing that I would change would be to have softer newer beds in all of the rooms and maybe make the front gate a little easier to open :-)

Great Family StayAmazing views. Patio was huge and had spectacular views up and down the coast. The waves broke at the bottom of the property so there was the sound of the ocean all day / night. At low tide there was ample room for the kids to play on the beach. Tough to find easier access to the beach. Unlike a lot of properties right along major thoroughfares, this neighborhood is its own little enclave so there was no traffic noise. House had beach toys and great spot to hose off outdoors.

Best everThe location was perfect in that there is little to no public beach access nearby. The beach for the property itself is private. No boardwalk, just waves and surfers to watch. At night, the sound of breakers is the best. The home may be a little old for some but for my family, it was more than enough, had all the surfboards, boogieboards available, parking for three vehicles and super comfortable quarters.

If we could make one minor improvement it would be adding hand rails for the top ~10 steps and the bottom ~10 steps leading to the beach. (The middle sta

Plenty of dishes, silverware, towels, etc. Nick was quick to resolve an issue created by a city construction crew to our satisfaction. We would definitely stay here again.

Very responsive host. Heavy blankets were dropped off, great to use in the cold weather.
Fantastic kitchen, but the views, the patio was the star event. Everything you could imagine for sea life, sunsets, waves and surfers right at your patio steps. When low tide, absolutely amazing walks and tidepools. Thanks to Nick the 2 new umbrellas arrived and were fantastic, tilting version to protect us from the afternoon sun and ocean reflection.
Best ocean house we have stayed at, including Encinitas and Leucadia.

We had stayed many places on the beach in North County this summer and fall (due to remodeling). This place stands out as one of the best, if not the best. Clearly a host that treats you with respect and responses are immediate. The kitchen is full of gourmet tools, great barbecue, free coffee the entire stay, comfortable beds, and the views are amazing. The time spent watching the ocean, walking the beach, playing in the water, the sea life and pelicans make it picture perfect with 180 degree views! Thanks

You can not beat this view. There is nothing like a waking up to a huge and unobstructed view of the ocean. We loved having private access to the beach when it was low tide. High tide was fun sitting down by the stairs watching the sun aces crash up against the cliff. There were tons of surfers and wildlife to see. The house was well stocked, clean, easy parking and comfortable.
