Cottages in Lake San Marcos

'This hidden gem surpassed our expectations for a relaxing getaway! The pictures provided were already beautiful but to be there in person was something i can't describe. Location was perfect, everything within 15 minutes and the actual location breathtaking!'

'Beautiful place to stay and close to beach and shops in the area.'

'Paradise! People watch off the front patio! Soaked in the hot tub! Had the best birthday trip with my sister! '

'We loved staying here! Everything was excellent quality. The views were breathtaking! The beds were very comfortable. Cindy was great at communicating and gave a great breakfast recommendation. Loved the extra touches of fresh fruit, snacks and good coffee!! Would for sure stay here again!! The property has a great trail to walk through the grove and great patio to enjoy sitting outside. '

'The Hideaway Retreat was an ideal space to stay in Carlsbad and celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary and attend the Carlsbad Street Fair. The cottage offers everything you need for a relaxing vacation. Onsite parking in a private driveway, clear communication with the owner, fully stocked kitchen, living, and sleeping areas, and high walkability to nearby shops and restaurants are reasons to stay here.

'We stayed while our house was being fumigated and really enjoyed our short stay-cation in Carlsbad. The owner was wonderful and was super nice and prompt with all communication. '

'Very nice back yard casita. Very quiet neighborhood. We didn't have any contact with the owners in the front home.

'We enjoyed our stay here very much. I wished there had been a few more kitchen amenities (a full size coffee maker, Saran Wrap, etc) but the condo is clean and spacious and has a beautiful view.'

'Furniture and beds were comfy. The house offered everything we possibly could’ve needed for our stay including some toys for our three-year-old. Relatively quiet if you’re inside, but close to the freeway so there is noise. We didn’t walk to anything in the neighborhood, but drove a couple miles toward the ocean where there were many wonderful coffee shops, icee cream, restaurants and things to see and do. Overall, a nice home to spend the night.'

'From the moment I had contact with the host I knew I picked the perfect spot! Beautiful, welcoming, peaceful! Do cozy! Beautiful sunsets right out the front window or on the front deck! So grateful! '

'My wife and our woofs had a great stay at the property. The host was very accommodating. '
