Jim was an amazing host. He was very friendly and helpful and also gave us a very sweet welcoming gift. The home is located in a wonderful spot, very walkable. We enjoyed a private outdoor fire in the attached yard and loved the outdoor oasis. We will definitely book this property with this great host again. Thanks Jim!

We had a lovely stay at Jim’s property. The feelOf the house was great. When you walk around the house it feels more like you are staying at a friends house and not at a rental property. The walk to the beach was very easy and quick plus Jim had some beach supplies (wagon, chairs and umbrella). We really enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

I have been going to Carlsbad for 15 plus years. This place was the BEST place we have ever stayed at hands down. The owner is on top of everything and the location and amazing courtyard put it over the top. You would be stupid not to select this place for your vacation.
