Condo was a very convenient location in Carlsbad. Close to the beach and ocean and a short walk to the village for dining and shopping. Easy access to I5
Close to everything, our family enjoyed this stay very much. The home was very clean and spacious for a small family. Walked across the street to the beach, felt safe. Enjoyed bike riding to get coffee in the morning and sitting outside on the patios in the evening.

loved it!
My family and I spent a couple days in palm desert, then drove to Carlsbad.
This by far is the nicest VRBO home we have stayed at. We will be back very soon.
This condo was located literally steps from the beach. We had a few glitches, but Yuki and Nancy were easy to communicate with and rectified any issues we had swiftly. The only think I didn’t personally love was the open bathroom in the master bedroom. There was literally no privacy, the doors don’t seal tightly, the ceiling is open to the bedroom and if someone gets up in the middle of the night it’s very noisy and the whole room lights up. Otherwise, this place is was perfect and everything else was as expected.
While we would like to keep Carlsbad and the Pelican Suite our own little secret, it wouldn't be truthful to say this was anything but an absolute perfect vacation! We will be back!
You can look for a long time and not find a better location, property and view. Open floor plan with full views of the ocean - feels like you are outdoors the whole time. Only downside is traffic on the Blvd can be busy and loud on weekend. But that’s a minor trade for the location and view. House was equipped with bikes, boogie boards, surf board. We had a blast.
This home is the perfect beach getaway! Beach access is right across the street...shops and restaurants within walking distance...and ocean views galore! The only downside was the street traffic but that seemed insignificant with how beautiful the entire space is. We cooked meals and sat on the bar outside and felt like kings. We would highly recommend!
The house is great and the location is incredible. Breathtaking views all day every day. I wanted to take the bed and pillows home with me... it was incredibly comfortable. Working with the property agency was very easy. They do a great job making sure your stay is comfortable. We spent about $300 on supplies that we didn’t need because the house is so well stocked on not just home furnishings but also recreational supplies. Show up with your swim trunks and have a good time... it has everything you need. We will defiantly return for another vacation in the next few years.
It was a beautiful home in an ideal location. Close to beach, shops and restaurants. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. My family and I had an amazing week
My family and I popped over for a long weekend stay, couldn't be happier with the proximity of the house to the beach and a short walk to restaurants and shops in Carlsbad village. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and definitely will be back, hopefully for a longer visit next time. Did not want to leave! The staff from Vacation in Carlsbad were excellent and very communicative. You won't be disappointed! Check in couldn't be simpler, not a single complaint. Thank you for a great little recharge for my family!
Stayed in the Pelican suite for the first time for our families annual vacation and it exceeded all our expectations and was the best trip we’ve taken yet

Easter on the beach, just perfect
The Vacation in Carlsbad team are just great! Their home on Carlsbad Blvd has it all; great view of the ocean, walking distance, and all the necessary amenities. We were able to even prepare our own gourmet Easter dinner in their beautiful kitchen. Just a perfect little weekend trip. Thank you!

Loved it , but...
We loved our stay at the Pelican Suite, location was great a short walk to a beautiful beach,shopping and restaurants . A morning walk along the ocean was spectacular as dolphins entertained you with a playful water show. My reason for the but? above in my description of Pelican Suite was the noise ...the property next door is being renovated which made it difficult to enjoy the patio due to excessive noise from staple guns throughout the day otherwise it was the perfect location. It was not something we were aware of so it would be worth asking the owner before you book. p.s. the owners were amazing and a special thank you to Nancy for her help during our stay.

Perfect spot to enjoy the beach!
This unit was perfect for our needs. Comfortable beds, fully equipped modern kitchen, plenty of room for socializing, and all the beach toys you could want. The views are spectacular, and the crosswalk and steps to the beach are directly across from the unit. Traffic is constant during the weekend, of course, since it’s directly on the highway. But it isn’t an issue at night, and it didn’t affect our enjoyment. We had a birthday celebration and all of our guests were amazed as well!
