About this property

The Lighthouse: Simple, Stylish Comfort in Central Carlsbad

Charming 1 bedroom home sleeps up to 4 in a queen bed and full size futon. Brand new flooring throughout, cozy bedroom with queen bed, separate comfortable living room with futon sofa, dining room with seating for 4, and beautiful updated kitchen and bathrooms. Fully furnished with everything you need to enjoy your visit. Host is local and ready to help with planning your trip, questions or concerns.

Note the yard is "rustic". I.e it is not (yet) improved- it is basically all dirt and unfenced with an old pad from a torn-down shed (sort of on our to-do list). The empty lot next door is owned by our neighbor and he uses it for parking. We allow 1-2 dogs but keep in mind there isn't fenced space for them to roam, so they will need to be supervised outside or inside with you.

The neighborhood is what I would call average for Carlsbad. Its not a dangerous part of town but there are older homes in need of an update. (This is sort of how most of Carlsbad is- most of the town was built pre-1950 and the desert is hard on a home!). The location is convenient to get to anywhere in town or the Caverns.

Carlsbad Trip

We visited Carlsbad to see the Caverns and hike the Guadalupe Mountains. The house was super cute and close to nearby restaurants. It was a very enjoyable experience.

Comfy launch point for caverns

The Lighthouse was a cute and comfortable place for us to takeoff to visit Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains NP. We also enjoyed the proximity to restaurants and a local park & playground. Janelle was a wonderful host, checking in to make sure we had what we needed and providing great suggestions on activities and restaurants nearby.

About the host

Hosted by Janelle Hicks

Host profile image
We are a family of 4, we moved here a couple years ago and have really loved it!

Why they chose this property

We bought this house when it was a bit of a mess. We updated almost everything and decided to rent it out on airbnb because it is the perfect size for it.

What makes this property unique

We like to think we offer a great value compared to a hotel. You get a whole, private little house (with kitchen!) that is unique and interesting, with personal direct suppport from your host for the same nightly rate as the hotels in town.
