It was like staying in a showroom. Beautiful, lovely, with a great breeze. The bed was amazing! The smell of the beach air from the deck…with little glimpses of the ocean all made for a peaceful welcoming stay. I loved the window seat and spent a lot of time, relaxing there. The hosts, Chip and Quay are also the kindest, and in the “best hosts ever” category.

Very nice property.A peaceful quiet neighborhood with some really nice sea breezes. We live in Las Vegas and it was very nice to sleep with the windows open. Close enough to Carlsbad village that you can easily drive to. 5 minute drive to the coaster parking lot and everything San Diego has to offer.

We fell in love with the Story Brooke Cottage the moment we arrived! Chip and Quay were the most caring and kind hosts we’ve ever had. It was such a blessing getting to know them, and the cottage felt like home. They put so much effort into making our stay as amazing as it could be, and we are so grateful to know Chip and Quay. The Cottage is the perfect place for anyone looking for a beach getaway, and we are already looking at booking for next summer! We couldn’t be happier with our stay!

My family had such a wonderful time on our recent summer vacation, in part due to our stay at the Story Brooke Cottage. It is conveniently located to all the usual San Diego area attractions, but more importantly, its so close to the beach and the adorable Carlsbad Village area. Chip and Quay have created a beautifully decorated, cozy retreat, that was perfect for us when returning from a long day of sightseeing or beaching. The cottage fit the four of us comfortably. It was stocked with everything we needed, from Keurig coffee pods and trays for cookie baking, to extra blankets for my girls (so that I could keep the windows open all night to enjoy the ocean breeze without freezing them out!). My favorite thing to do was to have some quiet time in the morning with my cup of coffee on the balcony, while my family slept off the previous days adventures. Our hosts offered their availability if we needed it, but allowed for privacy while we were there. Though, I wish I could have met Quay to tell her how much I loved her beautiful home! Thank you, Chip and Quay, for your part in helping us to create wonderful memories. We are blessed! We hope to visit again!
