Wyatt Anthony was an exceptional host! His beachfront home in Carlsbad is beautifully remodeled, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. The ocean views, hot tub, and attention to detail made our stay truly special. Wyatt was welcoming, responsive, and made the entire experience seamless. Would absolutely stay again and highly recommend!

Oct 2026

Our family of six adults and four children spent five days at Wyatt’s beautiful home in October. The home was spacious and exactly as pictured in the listing. The ocean views, sunrises and sunsets were spectacular. We particularly appreciated the fenced yard with young children. We had some concerns regarding the destruction of Tamarack Beach prior to our arrival, but the children still had two great “beach days”. The location of the home was great for restaurants, shopping and area attractions. Absolutely loved Linda’s Gift Shop in the Village!! Wyatt was highly responsive to any questions or concerns that we had to ensure our visit was a great experience. We would definitely like to return!

This is a brand new remodel and a lovely home, very well stocked and appointed. The host was very responsive and sent clear instructions. The location near the beach was amazing! Quiet and convenient, walkable to town for coffee, meals and shopping. Could not have asked for more. We will be back if we have another opportunity for a visit to the area. Plenty of parking was a plus.

Rented this beautiful home to recover from recent surgery. What a beautiful space to do this in with an absolutely beautiful view. Host was always quick to respond about a questions I had - from booking all the way to checkout. Highly recomend

We were visiting to see our son, and we had our dog with us. We appreciated that Anthony accepts pets, and has a beautifully large and accessible yard for the dog. The pool was a delight, and there were lots of floats to enjoy. The place was very clean, and I am a little bit of a clean freak. The linens and towels were of a very good quality and plentiful. I loved the feel of the plush, well padded carpets in the bedrooms. The location was not walkable to town, but an easy drive to great food and attractions. We really enjoyed our visit!

Oct 2026

The house was amazing! My family visited from Europe and felt completely at home. Easy to access, wonderful private backyard, spacious kitchen and living room/dining area. The house had everything they needed. 5-star property and we will definitely be back!

Oct 2026

We really enjoyed our stay here! We were able to get in early and really appreciated the portable AC that was already running when we arrived. Wyatt was quick to respond and help with our wifi issue the second day of our stay, and generally responded quickly and was very friendly. We would definitely book here again.

Beautiful house in a gorgeous neighbourhood. Can watch the sunrise from the backyard. Pool is amazing and warm. Beds are comfortable. Kitchen has everything you need. Extremely clean. Definitely will be back.

Oct 2026

This home was perfect for our week long vacation. We really appreciated that it had everything you could possibly need - and more! The entire house was so clean and well maintained too! Would definitely stay here again

This getaway by the beach in Carlsbad was the perfect location for fun and relaxation. Located right next to the entrance to the beach and within walking distance of all of our favorite spots. The host was very cooperative and helpful. Nothing was out of order or to any surprise we were very pleased with the entire experience. So much space for activities and storage and fun!

Oct 2026

Excellent host and perfect home for our stay of 5 with two kids included. Hot tub was very nice and location was central for everything we wanted to do.

Oct 2026

This house was so conveniently located! Our daughter, her husband and their two young children as well as our youngest son stayed in part of house off the courtyard. It was nice because the grandkids woke early and there was second kitchen and exit so they could feed kiddos breakfast, leave and take the stroller for a walk along the coast. Those of us that wanted to sleep in were undisturbed and it was great!!

Oct 2026

Such a great stay! Wyatt’s home felt right at home with everything that was included and available. Beautiful location, great views, very relaxing and Wyatt was a great host. The home was beautifully kept and decorated. I would recommend anyone to stay here if they’re in the Bonsall area!

Oct 2026

All I can say is that the pictures as amazing they are, did not do this location justice. This space was amazing the moment you walk in. Unbelievable and my family and I absolutely enjoyed staying here and will be staying here again in the future. Special shouts to Wyatt who was extremely accommodating and generous in our stay. We appreciate your flexibility and kind words as my family dealt with a funeral in town. Thank you

This was one of our favorite Airbnb homes we’ve ever stayed in. The home was beautiful, CLEAN, well stocked and roomy. Our family had everything we needed for our stay… we hardly left the home because the kids loved the pool so much. Outdoor/indoor living at its finest. Loved it!
