California Dreamin by AvantStay | Private Pool + Fire Pit | Near the Beach

10/10 Excellent
"This property worked great for our one week family getaway for us the kids, grandkids and a small dog. We were also able to host a couple “pool party BBQ for nearby extended family. The house configuration is a little quirky, but comfortable, and the room accommodations worked well for a family setting. It has easy walking to both Carlsbad Village and Tamarack/Warm Water Jetty Beaches. Driveway parking accommodations for two cars in driveway and ample street parking met all our needs. The Heavy duty washer/dryer got a good workout with the generous supply of beach towels."

"Comfortable and spacious house, this house has everything you need for a nice gateway or vacation time. Each room is very spacious, beds are comfortable, they have beach towels and a lot of extras! Kitchen is well organized and has all you need for a nice dining.Host is super helpful and responsive. The movie room was a plus! It has its own private door , so if you want to stay until late hours to watch a movie , you won't bother the other guests with the noise .Beach was 10 minutes walk, location in general is great. They have an outdoor shower and nice patio. My family and I are very happy with this property"

10/10 Excellent
"The Pool was the biggest hit!! Close location to the beach, convenient to freeway, communicative host and just the right amount of rooms. Very close to Legoland and the music museum. No air conditioning was the only draw back in summer. It was still mid-70's most evenings. Use the provided mini fans next to your windows and it get cooler in the evening when you do."

Steps to the Ocean+Village Beach Home w Hot Tub 🏖

10/10 Excellent
"This home was perfect for our family get together that included my husband and I, our 2 toddlers, 3 grandparents, and our dog. The house is adorable and was very clean; the bedrooms are generously sized - there was plenty of space in the primary for the pack & play plus our dog's crate; the kitchen had all the cooking utensils we needed and even included ziploc bags, plastic wrap, foil, etc., which you don't always get; the yard was spacious and safe for our dog and kids to play in; there was plenty of beach gear and towels for our group; and it's an easy walk to the beach - especially with the cart the host provides to carry your gear. We didn't use the hot tub, but did check it out when we first got there and it was also very clean. We were all so happy with the home and location and wouldn't hesitate to stay again."
