This extraordinarily relaxing & serene home-away-from-home at the beach is a beautiful, classic 2 bedroom California beach bungalow. Just steps to the beach with ocean views inside and out. Walk to famous Tamarack beach on a scenic trail. You will love dining on the patio and gazing out to the sea. Relax as children and pets play in the yard. You are in a safe neighborhood, away from noise, traffic, and nightlife, yet super convenient and close to everything. From the house, it's just a quick 1 mile drive -- or a gorgeous 20 minute walk along the ocean -- to the center of Carlsbad's Village, where you will find restaurants of every description, lots of shops and the Coaster train station. Go just 1 mile in a different direction to find a supermarket, drug store, the freeway entrance, and all the conveniences. Gourmet markets, fine dining and shopping, and Legoland theme park are all available within minures. Your beach house is fully equipped, and features wonderfully comfortable beds, a big Tv in the living room and a smaller one in one of the bedrooms, a well-stocked kitchen, off-street parking, wireless broadband, private laundry facilities, a grassy yard with patio furnished for outdoor dining and lounging, a propane grill, a fire-ring for enjoying an evening beverage, and an outdoor shower with hot water for your pleasure upon returning from the beach. And it's sparkling clean! At the beach you will find lifeguards, restrooms and showers. There are designated areas for surfing and swimming. Beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, boogey boards, beach toys and coolers are provided. Pelicans, egrets, seagulls, and great blue herons will point the way as you follow the short and easy scenic trail from the property to the beach (about a block-and-a-half, about a 5 minute walk.) In the evening, enjoy the view of the magnificent sunset over the Pacific and the graceful flight of many sea birds, while you cook dinner on the grill. If you've brought children, there's plenty of room for them to play, and you can relax knowing they are safe in the yard. Stroll, bike, or rollerblade one mile up the coast to the 'village' for lunch. Explore the small shops, boutiques, antique stores and cafes. There are many excellent restaurants. Or, if you are in the mood to really 'kick back', pick up one of our fishing poles and walk a few steps from your door to the lagoon. With a little luck, you 'll catch a delicious halibut for dinner! ...If you decide on a romantic dinner, one of Carlsbad's best ocean view restaurants is just three blocks from your home.
