Good Place Butā€¦
The condo was good. It was clean. TV did not work! Remote was not good. Was told a new one was on the way didnā€™t happen. It was cold and rainy so tv was important. Overall Gage House is looking run down. Several steps were in need of repair. Laundry facilities have gone down. This wasnā€™t ownerā€™s issue but HOA IS DEFINITELY LACKING.

Nice Place
The location is superb - a short walk to the beach yet equally close to Carlsbadā€™s downtown, which is quaint with multiple choices of restaurants. They clearly enjoyed decorating their ā€œapartmentā€ with a seaside mermaid theme. The heat pumps operation was confusing, but got them to work. Overall, a very nice stay.

If you want a good location for access to beach, bars and restaurants, this is a perfect place. The supply of beach chairs, towels, umbrella, cooler, and boogie boards was a nice feature! However, be prepared for train whistles. Would stay here again!

Great location in Carlsbad
We loved our month long stay at this location. Best part: we were a 5 minute walk to the beach and 2 minute walk into the Village. The unit was clean and comfortably updated. We cooked at home many nights and there was adequate cookware to enable it. The shared laundry has an app so I did not have to hoard quarters, which was nice. As others have said, there is a train that runs right through Carlsbad. Youā€™ll hear it. But we enjoyed being able to walk to the train and took it quite a few times into Encinitas, O-Side and San Diego. We loved it here and will stay at this rental again.

Great Place in a Great Town
Very happy with the stay. Close to beach, close to village restaurants. Well stocked with beach chairs, beach towels, etc. Wish it was not so close to the train tracks as the Coaster starts early in the morning, but obviously not something the owner controls.

Great Place to Stay with Two Cons
The location is great. The condo was clean and well stocked. Timothy was great to work with. Our only cons were the train runs all night. By the 4th day, we kind of got used to it. The other con was the bed and pillows were uncomfortable. Other than that, great place to stay.

Light & Bright Between the Holidays
We like to make a getaway between Thanksgiving & Christmas. This year we stayed in Carlsbad at the Light & Bright property for the first time. We loved it. Great location, easy walking distance to all amenities, the beach, and easy access to the Coaster train if you'd like a trip into San Diego (e.g. step off at Old Town). Very nice condo with all that you need, including a parking space.

Condo is located on the second floor. Other then that an amazing Condo. Its walking distance of tons of shops, restaurants, liquor store and a 7-Eleven right on the corner. Thanks Timothy !

A slice of paradise
We throughly enjoyed our stay. The condo was so cutely decorated with a very beach vibe. The condo was well appointed and was stocked extremely well for cooking meals. Such a bonus to have beach chairs, towels, boogie boards etc. We come to Carlsbad every summer for a week and multiple times a year for a long weekend. We will definitely be booking with this property again in the near future. The proximity to everything in the village was amazing and the beach a short one block walk. Everything was perfect!!
