The house was clean and stylishly decorated. We loved having the three bedrooms, 2 baths, and a full kitchen. We bought groceries and cooked a few meals. Had planned to grill, but the gas grill was dirty from previous used so we did not grill out. Kitchen had adequate supplies but would have liked to have containers with covers for left overs or plastic wrap or baggies. Also would have liked a small cooler of sorts to take lunches with us and a water thermos for take in the car with us on our day trips as we visited National Parks in the area. This house sleeps 6, not 7 like in the posting, unless you are sleeping 3 in a king bed. Couch not good for sleeping. Neighborhood felt safe compared to many areas we saw in Carlsbad. This is not a NEW house however; at least 5 years old and does show wear and tear, some light bulbs out, and kitchen supplies need a restock for 6 people. We only had 3 and ran out of silverware and plates quickly. We had communication issue with owner about laundry being available, but once we got in touch with Matt, he worked to remedy the situation. Overall, we were happy with the home; good location for the 3 parks we visited.
