Perfect Getaway Cottage

My husband and I stayed here for an anniversary weekend and it was absolutely adorable. The location is perfectly located within walking distance of downtown shops and restaurants as well as the beach, and the outdoor yard area is very serene. Would love to stay again next time we're in Carlsbad.
