Christmas in Carlsbad
We had a lovely stay in the spacious house. The house offered enough room for our family of four. The kitchen was well laid out and well stocked. The kids kids really liked that they each had their own bedroom - and a pool table! Our favourite though was the south facing backyard with a view. We had our lunch there almost every day. The house is obviously not a pure rental; some of the owners items occupied cabinets, and some of the furniture could use some TLC. Yet, we found ample storage and we cannot share at all the concerns / complaints from previous reviewers about electrical safety or areas in need of cleanup. We are seasoned world travellers and have stayed in many vacation rentals. This property was exceptionally clean - which we really appreciate. In addition Donald and Marilyn were excellent communicators and got back to us promptly with any question we had. All in all - the house fit our family of four perfectly, and we will happily return.

February Vacation
We enjoyed the property being on a quite street and easy to navigate other areas. The new kitchen cabinets, counter tops, and flooring were very nice. The house was clean, spacious and well supplied. The owners were excellent in providing information. I would recommend this property to anyone. Thanks for sharing your house with us.

Disappointing. Look elsewhere to rent.
I agree with the review from Jim A. in Feb 2016. Many items are still subpar while not being fixed or replaced almost a year later in Jan 2017, i.e. - Screen door, electric, outdoor furniture, sheets and bathrooms. I did consider the issues he stated but thought, how bad can it really be while so many others left good reviews. So, we rented. As the renter and abiding to the rental agreement, I reported the following items along with other “conditions” according to the section under “Conditions of the Premises” to the owners: Electric - not up to code - exposed wiring inside and outside the property (especially in the “swag lights”). Kitchen – no room for vacationer’s food, all cabinets full with the owner’s food, dishes and cookware. Windows – were open and unlocked upon first entering house – unsafe conditions in an unknown house. Bikes – dirty, dusty and flat tires – yes there is a pump, but why aren’t they ready to go? Garage – unusable for us as it had a car in it and full of the owner’s tools and belongings. They offered for us to move the car ourselves. We didn’t due to the flat tires on the car. The owners initially were friendly and responsive. However, I guess they didn’t like the things I had to report because they told me that these items were “trivial” and then proceeded to give me a low guest rating. Consider staying elsewhere, the location doesn’t compensate for this subpar property.
