60th Anniversary Celebration

Our family came together to celebrate my parents 60th anniversary and this house had something for everyone! We had three generations (ages 22-84) in our party and everyone could find something to do. The pool and jacuzzi were a big hits as were all the water toys. The house is very spacious with lots of room for family meals together as well as quiet time to read. Thanks so much to the hosts for everything they did to make this a special vacation for my parents. We would definitely come back.

Spectacular property! The accommodations were incredible! The house is equipped with everything you need and Bruce and Barbara left us a greeting basket of toys, snacks and wine. Everything was above and beyond what we expected! Plenty of activities and restaurants close by to keep everyone happy. We had five kids between the ages of 15 and 17 and seven adults up to the age of 75. Can't wait to return next year. Thank you Bruce and Barbara for being such gracious hosts!

Perfect getaway for families!!!

I cannot say enough about this property!! Barb was incredibly welcoming and thorough with her welcome basket. It is one of the most well-stocked houses we have ever stayed with our children (I regretted packing several things because we didn't need them!!). Floaties/life jackets, towels, beach chairs, paddle boards, beach toys, kayaks, karaoke machine, kid toys, high chairs, pack n play, baby gate, baby monitors, noise machines, kid cups/dishes...all provided!! The kitchen had everything we could ever need, especially TWO large fridges and freezers in the kitchen and pantry. We only left the house once to go to the beach during our entire stay because we had such a fun time in the pool and playing in the bay. For the 4th we watched the Legoland fireworks across the bay while roasting marshmallows around the bonfire next to the water. It was so nice and no fighting traffic after the show was over! We had 3 little mobile ones in addition to older toddlers and kiddos and I was so worried about water safety around the pool but it turned out fine due to the fact that on the main floor there was a huge play room, the primary floor outdoor balcony does not lead down to the water area and the stairs to the basement were secured with a locking baby gate pre-installed for us. This allowed us to have the babies safely contained on the main floor during meal preparation/eating which gave parents peace of mind. Loved it all!!!

Fantastic Vacation Home

Villa Bahia is an amazing home! It was a perfect spot for our family vacation with 10 adults and 4 grandchildren ages ranging from 1-75. The home is very comfortable and well stocked with everything you'll need. A grocery store is conveniently located in about a 5 minute drive. There's plenty of beach towels, pool toys, beach toys, games, and a playroom with lots of fun toys and books for the littles. The owners were great to deal with and always responded quickly to our questions. We were surprised by the very generous gift basket that was left for us on the kitchen island. Thank you so much, it was such a kind gesture to kick off our week and it was enjoyed by all. We can't say enough about how fabulous this home is, our week was perfect in every way! Tom and Terri

Carlsbad villa

Perfect spot for our family vacation. 11 adults fit comfortably in this spacious, well-equipped house. We were a little worried the nearby freeway sound would bother us, but it really didn’t. The house has everything (it could stand a little maintenance on a few things, but generally most everything was functional). Loved the private beach, the pool and the spa. Great location near enough to town (and thus groceries) but also feels like you’re away on your own on the lagoon. Would stay here again (and we weathered an actual hurricane!).

Epic house!!

Stayed here with 12 people and we had the best time. They have literally everything you could ever want! We had an infant (1.5yrs old) with us and the house was loaded with baby gear. The play room was perfect and the kiddos spent all day in the heated pool and on the beach. If I could give this house 6 stars I would! Plenty of room for 12.

Family reunion

We had the best week of the year at this magnificent house. The cleanliness and amenities were way beyond what were used to seeing even in similarly priced rentals. Sarah, the concierge was a sweetheart and always available and the owner himself picked up the phone and allowed me to bring the last minute edition of my dog. We kayaked and paddle boarded 3 to 4 times a day- enjoyed the pool hot tub and waterfalls day and night and we luxuriated in the kitchen. a We each had our own beautiful bedroom and bathroom- so clean and up to date. The children got to share the room off of the living room, which had a pull out bed and enough toys(organized and clean)to keep them busy for the entire week. This is a perfectly appointed house. We definitely brought too many things, every necessity from sunscreen to beach towels, was right at our fingertips. I location is so perfect right near the beach where we took surfing lessons,a few blocks from the grocery store, and one are far family members celebrated their first wedding anniversary at a lovely restaurant in Carlsbad. I don’t know how they managed, but even the weather was perfect.. Big big, thank you to the owners and take care takers -this was happiness with zero regret. Anne and Family

Amazing stay

This house was simply incredible. It was very spacious and accommodating. The hosts were quite communicative and helpful. The kitchen (and amenities) and common areas were so large and comfortable - we ordered a personal chef one night and he was in heaven! The private beach with kayaks and paddleboards were just wonderful and so inviting. The hot tub was great! The only room for improvement I would say is that we were told the pool would be heated to 82 degrees and it was definitely in the low 70s. When I requested it to be heated more, it never seemed to get to a comfortable temperature (it was 60-65 degrees out when we visited in February). Also, strangely, the hot tube drained halfway each evening, which made for night-time dips to be significantly less enjoyable. Otherwise a supremely wonderful stay and would very highly recommend this property!

A (not so little) slice of paradise!!

Such a beautiful and accommodating home that offers so many gifts! We had a friend and family reunion that turned into our impromptu wedding ceremony on the beach at sunset. The entire weekend was absolutely magical! Not only is the home beautiful, furnished beautifully, and in the perfect location, but Barbara and the house concierge, Sarah, were there to answer every question and address any need we may have had (which were few, because they did such an amazing job ensuring the house was FULLY stocked, from a beautiful welcome basket to towels and sunscreen!). My husband and I are so grateful to have found this beautiful home and will definitely be back again. We love you and your smile, Sarah! Thanks so much for making our weekend most memorable!

Amazing....Amazing....Just simply AMAZING!!!

I can not say enough to describe the level of gratitude that I wish to express to the owners of this property and their management team. They were punctual with all documents and communication and hospitable at every turn. THAT'S BEFORE YOU SEE THE HOUSE! The house is absolutely amazing. We booked the house for a 4 day weekend for my wife's 40th bday party. The house provides so much functionality, so much space, so much beauty, sitting on a waterfront, hidden away in the hill, spas, pool, decks that you can sun bathe or just relax and chill with your loved ones. My entire party thoroughly enjoyed their stay and are actively looking to rebook! Many of the other locations that we were researching would not allow a "party" or an event to take place on their property. This property promotes it (within reason of course). You will not be disappointed if you book this property. I was super paranoid when I booked it without being able to see the property. My party planner was on the ground first and she was quick to let me know that we had picked a fire location! When my wife walked in and around the place she said "thank you for our new home"! lol. Thanks again to the owners and to all those who are wondering, this place is the bomb.com!!

We had the best time at the Villa Bahia. The property does need some repairs or updates, from pullout beds to toilets and washing machine, but overall we were not affected by those things and enjoyed the pool, jacuzzi and the beach. We kayaked every day and the kids had the time of their lives. There is MORE than enough space for everyone. All in all a great time!
