Family-friendly holiday rentals in Carlsbad

Cute little cottage, very clean and comfortable! The hot tub was a huge bonus, would definitely stay again!

Fantastic stay! Cynthia was very responsive and the location was excellent. We’d gladly stay again!!

The location was great, close to many restaurants and shops, great ocean breeze, great ocean view from the room, beautiful grounds, and 5 minutes from my sons house on Camp Pendleton!

It's always better staying with family at a home rather than a hotel. Kim's place was no exception. Lots of space, nice gathering area, big deck (with freeway noise), close to the beaches, restaurants, and Carlsbad Outlet Mall. Would love to stay here again.

View was spectacular! Loved the decor style! It’s an older unit but still well maintained. Loved the amenities and proximity to the beach and restaurants in Oceanside. Would definitely stay here again!

Daniel and Emily were a Gem to work with. The house was as described and exceeded our expectations. Communication was seamless. Thank you for opening your beautiful home to us.

The beach bungalow was as described. The location was ideal, just two blocks from the beach. The hot tub was a standout feature for our visit. It was clean and we had no issues with temperature. The home is a bit no-frills but that was as expected, still a great value. Host was responsive and shoutout to Pete, manager, who was kind and helpful throughout. Our family would stay again. P.S. the train did not really bother our family, some who are light sleepers, during the stay. It will not wake you up in the middle of the night.

I stay in many rentals. It's the little things like coffee pods, bath products, pool towels, good tp - that make Robyn's place all 5 stars.

We are repeat guests, from New England who stay with Gloria and Maria during Jan - Feb. to get relief from the cold and we love the So-Cal lifestyle. Carlsbad is a very nice beach town with a great vibe. Clean, safe, laid back, friendly folks, easy to get around, plenty to do within easy walking distance. The Casita is less than two blocks from the beach so beautiful evening sunsets are there to easily enjoy. The amenities are as descibed and it is a clean and comfotable place to stay. It has everything you need and lots of outdoor space to enjoy, nice fire pit and is as private as can be in a beach town neighborhood. Mari is a wonderful host, very responsive and took great care of us whenever we had questions or needed anything. Thank you so much Mari - you are truly the best! We would love to come back!

We loved our stay at Rachel’s place. The apartment is beautiful, light and spacious. A lovely central location in a sweet neighbourhood with lots of fab Italian restaurants on the doorstep. Important to note the parking is not onsite but was easy to find with clear instructions and only 5 mins walk from the apartment. We would come back if we visit San Diego again!

This is such a beautiful home, I already want to go back! The walk to the beach was easy and so close. The privacy of the outdoor seating area was really nice. Kitchen was clean and spotless and the beds were incredibly comfortable! The water pressure in the showers wasn’t very strong, but everything else was perfect. Would absolutely stay again! Oh, and the hosts were very responsive throughout the stay when I had any questions!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Perfect Oceanside Getaway! Staying at Leanne and Jim’s was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel completely at home with their warm hospitality and thoughtful touches. They go above and beyond to ensure every detail is taken care of — you can genuinely feel how much they care about their guests. The guest home itself is absolutely majestic. Nestled right by the ocean (2mi), it’s a peaceful, serene retreat with beautiful greenery and a calming atmosphere that melts all your stress away. Every corner of the space is beautifully maintained and thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation. If you’re looking for a quiet, luxurious, and welcoming escape by the sea, look no further. Leanne and Jim’s place is a hidden gem, and we can’t recommend it highly enough. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Place was perfect for what we needed. Within walking distance to the beach and easily can walk right into town. Clean and comfortable would definitely stay again! Host was also very responsive. Thanks again 😊

Such a cute little spot to truly relax, was exactly as pictured.

We had a fabulous time at the Granny Flat! Everything was pristine and Kristen has thought of every amenity. She was kind and responsive. We loved the peaceful backyard with gorgeous views. The location is super convenient and a max of 25-30 mins to anywhere else in the SD area. Our pups had a great time, too! Would love to stay here again!

Kathi and Byron are great hosts and the place is beautiful, exactly as described. We had a great time, the place is very close to everything, there is a liquor store just 1 block away, very comfortable bed, beautiful garden 😃😃😃😃 Thank you very much Kathi, we hope to come back soon to San Diego and we will definitely book your place again.

Clean, relaxing and right on the ocean! We LOVED our stay and would love to come back again. Great communication and staff too!

This is one of the best spots if you are looking to get away and unwind 100/10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We LOVED this place! Baby items along with all of the beach supplies made our visit so much easier! Spent our mornings eating breakfast on the patio with the ocean view (my toddler demanded it every morning) and the days walking to the beach and surrounding areas. Great location, great space, nice grounds/property. We would definitely stay here again!

The apartment is, well appointed, spacious & complete with everything you could want. The gardens are beyond beautiful, with lots of interesting trees and shrubbery and even a walking trail around the whole property. The pool is lovely and child safe. We felt very safe, there was an entry code for the front gate and another for our unit. The whole house is located in a beautiful, upscale area.

I had a great time staying at Thelma De La Paz’s place! The space was cozy, very clean, and exactly what I needed for a comfortable stay. Thelma was a wonderful host - polite, welcoming, and super responsive to any questions I had. Highly recommend!

Overall fantastic stay! House owner lives on property but the house is secluded just for house guest use. An incident happened where my daughter had an accident during nap time and Kathleen responded quickly and helped us with the change of bedding.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful Airbnb! The location was stunning, with ocean views and the soothing sound of the waves—it was the perfect place to relax after a day out. There were several great restaurants within walking distance, and we loved being able to grab snacks from the nearby Oxxo, just a short 5-minute walk away. The host was very accommodating, allowing us an early check-in, which we really appreciated. Security at the front was helpful and friendly—they assigned us a parking space and made it easy to find the building. We did experience a couple of minor issues: the shower wasn’t draining properly, and on the third day, the door wouldn't lock. The host responded quickly to our messages, but unfortunately, no one showed up after we waited about an hour. However, the issue was resolved while we were out, so everything was fine when we returned. Despite those small hiccups, we had a lovely time and would definitely consider staying here again. The view and loca

Brenda's place was cozy and felt like home. Location was perfect and great views. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely return for another stay.
