Apr 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Carlsbad Gem We stayed for 5 weeks in this lovely house. My husband, daughter and I enjoyed how clean and well appointed the house was, as well as the beautiful location adjacent to Hosp Park, which has wonderful walking trails amidst the Eucalyptus tress. The outdoor area was wonderful for entertaining and we were only 5 minutes from the beach and village. Our dog was along for the trip too. The fenced yard allowed him to hang in the sunshine out back. The hosts were excellent with their communication and very thoughtfully prepared for guests to stay. We hope to stay again! ##### Jillian Z.
