Guest review
The location was great, the staff overall was very friendly. Initially, they gave a terrible room, very far on the outside corridor, terrible view, I let them know if there was something else, since I was going to be there a whole week, they instantly accommodated me to a better location/view. The room was bigger then expected and nice, clean and the bed was comfy. The walls a bit thin, I could hear the TV from the room next door. Their AC/Heater unit worked great. Shower was good, good water pressure. The staff at their little Bistro was super nice, the food was pricey but tasty. I ate there as few times.

Carlsbad is a great place to visit.
Carlsbad is a great place to visit. Previous trips have had great sand beaches but this trip had washed out beaches due to recent super tides which happen from time to time. Great options for eating and drinking and soaking up the sun. Lots of places to go within walking distance and biking lanes make getting around super easy. We particularly enjoyed Vigilucci's seafood and steakhouse and Bluewater Grill Seafood. French Corner Cafe was great for breakfast.

If you are looking for peace and tranquility this is the place for you. The property is located in the foothills of Vista. You see the natural beauty of Vista. The property is well kept. The landscaping blends well with the surrounding area. You hear the birds not traffic. I enjoyed sitting outside listening to the sounds of nature. The apartment is perfect for get aways. It is well kept and very clean.The owners Susan and Rich are kind and accommodating. I will definitely book with them again. Shelby Johnson

Encinitas still has the charm of a small beach town. Fun to watch the surfers. There is are antique shops & fresh produce markets. One can even go meditate at the Self-Realization Fellowship Centre in their glorious gardens. We had excellent pizza within walking distance of the Leucadia Beach Inn. What a fantastic place to stay!

San Marcos is a beautiful city and less hectic than San Diego. I got to enjoy the Amalfi Restaurant, which I highly recommended. It is on Lake San Marcos by the Marina, it felt like stepping into the Italian Riviera for the evening.
I attended a conference at The Movement church and that facility was beautiful.

It is what it is, a playground, amusement park atmosphere for the beaches and town. LOUD from trains, train crossings and bells going off through the night, bumper to bumper traffic, unregulated noise from motorcycles, hot rods, squealing tires til late as well. Surfside Grill was pleasant enough, recommend the catch of the day ceviche (although request sliced jalapenos on the side), as well as HH fish and chips.

Disappointed, The property did not live up to expectation as the grounds were becoming overgrown compared with all the estate properties surrounding it. No breakfast offered. Communal
kitchen for any drink or food preparation. Not suitable for older people. The description of the property needs updating. "Chalets" were just rooms in the house. Our room was very large, with a very modern bathroom off it. Glass paneled shower, huge bath tub and toilet, twin handbasin were separate. No hand soap etc. Hot water took 5 mins to arrive.

Carlsbad is probably the safest and cleanest coastal city in San Diego, CA. It helps, of course, to visit the area after Labor Day when the town is not so crowded with tourists. I would call it a solid middle-class, comfortable place to visit with plenty of restaurants and coffee shops one can walk to.

After I lost my apartment due to loss of income, I was forced to live in hotels from Oct 2025 until last week, March 9, only leaving when the 21-day policy required that I check out for a couple of days. I found the accommodations at this location to be more than adequate as far as space in the room, refrigerator and microwave, WiFi connection and comfort of our beds just to name a few.
The front desk staff was amazing!! Always friendly and helpful. Since I was a "resident" for so long, the staff knew me by name and even remembered my room number each time I left and returned. Juan was my initial contact and his superior customer service continued throughout my stay - always a smile and friendly greeting for me! Mariah and Julia were equally as friendly, always helpful.
Lori, as a management figure, went above and beyond customer service - several times helping me out when my finances were temporarily limited.
The only negative thing I can comment on is the property claiming to be 100% smoke free. Because the smoking guests would be outside smoking at all hours of the day, it was almost impossible to enforce this policy unless a staff member is in the parking lot 24/7 telling them where to smoke. The smoking guests didn't adhere to this policy, most of the time smoking right next to the building causing the smoke smell to be way to frequent.
My overall review of this location is that I was comfortable and pleased with my whole experience.

Didn't get chance to explore Encinitas as much as other areas along the coast. Driving through it didn't appear as attractive as Oceanside or Carlsbad. Blogs to follow on towns in future. They stay at Cardiff-by-the-sea was superb. We ate at Pacific Coast Grill which was excellent, you may need to book in advance as seemed popular. We managed to get a table at the bar walking in.

The area and people were great!
The area and people were great! Loved San Marcos, Carlsbad, San Diego, and Malibu! Drivers are very considerate and cautious drivers. No litter a very clean area. I was in CA for work therefore only had a day and half to tour the area but hubby did while I was at work and said the same thing. We are both truly in love with area and would love to come back and stay for a week or more just to visit.
