We appreciated all the accommodating touches, both and design and accessories. Furniture was comfortable and just enough so nothing felt crowded. The back deck was perfect gathering spot. Grill worked well. Yard in front and back was well manicured and beautiful to look at. Beach chairs, etc. were handy. Host Kyle was always available to answer questions and provide guidance.

This place is such a treasure, so many loving, thoughtful, comfortable and pretty details. Easy breezy access, peaceful setting, so welcome when traveling. Newport is a gorgeous room with green accents and vaulted ceilings. It was raining hard the night I arrived and this was the coziest shelter, complete with toasty fireplace.

The location is wonderful. Just at the beginning of Carlsbad Village with just a short walk to the public beach access. For the price you can’t beat it. The owner is a family man and very nice.

The location is great, right on the beach. The hotel is very clean and the staff were also very nice. I would come here again. Breakfast was very good. The only thing I was missing at breakfast was pickles or sliced cheese but it may be that it is unusual in America. (ps. I am from Germany)

Great staff, 8 minute to beach. Seven min walk to bus route 101 to get to Oceanside transit center and catch Surfliner. Going south on the 101 will get you to La Jolla. Nice area. No homeless. Safe to come back at night. A residential area. Half of what I usually pay in Oceanside.

Fantastic location - the motel is set back only a couple of blocks from the beach and is within easy walking distance if you want to watch the sunset along the ocean. The location is more towards the end of Carlsbad Boulevard but is only a short stroll from where you can find shops, cafes, restaurants and the like.
