About this property

Coastal Retreat - Pool, Spa, Putting Green, Fire pit, Game Room & Near Beach!

Casa de Turtle Bay sits on a large lot in a cul-de-sac, just minutes off the I-5 in South Oceanside. This centrally located home allows short drive times to the San Diego Safari Park (30 minutes), Legoland (15 minutes), the San Diego Zoo (45 minutes), Sea World (40 minutes), Disneyland (55 minutes), Knott’s Berry Farm (55 minutes), and a very short drive to downtown Carlsbad, downtown Oceanside, or Oceanside Harbor! You’re close to everything you could want while on vacation. If you are a beach lover, the Pacific Ocean is just 4.9 miles away. We have boogie boards, coolers, chairs, beach toys, umbrellas and an endless supply of beach towels on site to make your beach day perfect.

YARDS: Not feeling the beach? Well, who needs the beach when you have a backyard like this? Relax on the canopy or under the covered lounge, and have some family fun with our custom putting green. Take a dip in the large tropical pool, (warmed throughout the day with solar pads), and enjoy a natural massage compliments of the cascading waterfall. (Heating the pool is an option.) Soak in the hotel-sized Jacuzzi, and enjoy a barbecued meal at the fire pit that comfortably seats 12. The outdoor kitchen island is equipped with a new gas barbecue, one side burner and lots of prep space. You can also enjoy the peaceful tranquility of the gated courtyard in the front of the home. Listen to the calming waters of the fountain while reading on the porch swing. Both front and back yards are very private with several fruit trees ranging from lemon, lime, avocado, pomegranate, orange, loquat, and many more. Please help yourself to some fruit.
BEDROOMS: This two-story house offers close to 2,800 square feet of living space. It features new wood flooring upstairs, new flooring downstairs are a beautiful handmade saltillo terracotta tiles, oak cabinetry in the kitchen, an open floor plan, five beautifully appointed bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The “Whale Room” contains two twin bunk beds, books, and a treasure chest of toys.
The “Seashell Room” boasts a comfortable queen size bed and plenty of closet space.
The spacious master “Elephant Room,” features a new California King size bed, a 50’ flat screen TV, and a large walk-in shower. These 3 rooms share a spacious master bathroom with an adjoining powder room.
The second master suite, the “Jungle Room,” is a large, one bedroom that includes a New Cal King bedroom set, and a private bathroom. 60' TV

The downstairs “Seahorse Room” has a new queen sized bed, with French doors leading to a private courtyard. 55 inch TV. A full bathroom is adjacent and also contains access to the private courtyard.
Need more beds? Jungle room has a futon couch that makes into a bed.

LIVING SPACE: With its upgraded windows, multiple ceiling fans and insulated walls, this home provides comfortable coolness, even during those rare San Diego heat waves! The gourmet kitchen includes cookware, dinnerware and utensils for up to 12 guests. I have also provided a juicer, Panini maker, crock-pot, blender waffle maker, and more to make you feel right at home. The family-sized dining area seats 8 comfortably, with 4 more seats at the bar. The adjacent family room has an entertainment center featuring a huge 65’ HDTV, digital cable, DVD player, Bose surround sound, new comfortable sofas, and a leather chair. This area is perfect for family entertainment or relaxing after a long day of sightseeing! Other amenities include high speed, wireless Internet.

The state of the art game room will keep you or your kids entertained for hours! It features a classic arcade game table with 412 classic games, wheel of fortune casino game, pinball, and my favorite game Dragon Lair. There is also shuffleboard, a high-end electric dartboard, a foosball table, PlayStations, Wii, ping pong table and more.

PARKS: If you love nature you are in luck! Nestled in the northeastern part of Carlsbad is a 10-minute walk to a historical wilderness - an ancient volcano and dam dating back to the Second World War. Lake Calavera Preserve is a hidden gem. Amongst the growing city of Carlsbad, Lake Calavera Preserve is 262 acres of wildlife that supports plant and animal life only found in Southern California. Hike, bike, walk, or run through this amazing natural experience. Don't forget your camera! At the entrance to the preserve is Oak Riparian Park. This area offers 2 brightly colored play structures for little ones under 5 and for kids over 5. There are plenty of picnic tables and grassy areas for kids to run and play ball. The beauty of the area is worth a visit just in itself.

GOLF COURSES: Four Seasons Aviara Resort Golf Club - 10 minutes, The Crossings at Carlsbad - 15 minutes, Encinitas Ranch Golf Club - 20 minutes, La Costa Resort - 15 minutes and Carlsbad Golf Center. (Driving range within minutes from the house) Of course we can’t forget the world renowned Torrey Pines Golf Course which is host to the Farmers Insurance Open, on the PGA Tour - 30 minutes!

Something for everyone!
My family really enjoyed our stay at the Coastal Retreat. We were in town for a soccer tournament over Thanksgiving and wanted easy access to the fields, to food, and to the coast. We also needed space for everyone in the family to do homework, grown up work, and to play. The pool and hot tub were popular, as was the game room, and separate TV and sitting rooms. The kitchen was updated and had everything we needed. We greatly appreciated Charles delivering a coffee grinder - that was really above and beyond and showed how much he cares for his guests’ comfort. His communication was also very fast! We hope to stay again in the future:)

Wonderful 3 Generation Vacation Spot
This property was truly ideal for our 3 generation family trip. Located conveniently to many of southern Cal's tourist attractions, and a short drive to the beach make for an easy commute. The house is set up for family fun, with plenty of activities, a well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and ample room for our group of 12 to gather for meals and movies. Owners are great to deal with and quick to respond. Highly recommend this property.

Great Place for a Family Getaway
We stayed with our adult children and grands. The house is very well thought out for a family vacation. The backyard is an oasis of family fun. It’s probably even nicer than the pictures depict. We loved hanging out by the pool, putting green and fire pit area. The kids loved the game rooms. The kitchen was up to date and well equipped with quality cooking utensils and just about every appliance you can think of. The home was clean and the spaces well thought out to accommodate our group of 12. The host was responsive and accommodating to our questions. This is a special place. We would love to stay there again.

Great Little Oasis
We were in San Diego for a soccer tournament and this house was perfect for us. The house was very close to the soccer complex, was clean, had a lot of fun things to do, and the outdoor space was fantastic. We really didn’t need to go anywhere as the house had it all. Charles was also very responsive and gave us a lot of great information about the area. Great place to stay!

Great space for families!
My family came to visit for my son's graduation and had an amazing stay at Charles' home. We enjoyed much of the time lounging by the pool during the day and chatting by the fire pit in the evening. And, when we wanted to get out the sun there was ping pong, old school video games, shuffle board and darts! The space was perfect for us to gather and enjoy each other's company. It was a quick 15-20 minute drive to downtown Carlsbad and the beach when anyone did want to venture out. Charles proactively checked in after the first night to make sure we had all we needed and that everyone was comfortable. Later in their stay when a couple questions came up, Charles responded within minutes. Everyone had a wonderful time!

World class attention to detail
I just stayed at Charles‘s place for the last four nights with my two children ages eight and nine. Attention to detail and nuances and care that went into the experiences cannot be appreciated enough. In fact, it was a teaching lesson to the kids and myself for that matter in pride of ownership and attention to detail. Everything was clean, they were games galore, an incredible swimming pool heated spa and all the amenities to make the experience absolutely perfect. We got to spend quality time together as a family and cannot wait to come back.

Great place in Carlsbad !
Upon arrival Charles greeted us with the keys and gave us a quick tour . Had a few questions during our stay which he answered quickly . House is great . Back yard is even better . Garage and bonus room are cool , our kids were a little too young to fully enjoy. Everything you need for the beach (chairs, umbrellas, toys , boogie boards , coolers, mesh bags to carry everything) . Don’t need to bring anything for the beach . Would stay again .

Shang RaLa
This is an amazingly accommodating property and host. The kitchen is the most stocked you could imagine. I was especially excited to see the silicone ice CUBE tray in the freezer. We used the grill which was excellent as was the area surrounding the grill. (Well thought out). The pool, hot tube and fireplace created an environment for all (17people at one point) to enjoy the stories told by our 3 new Marines and the 1 active Marine. This was our base (and oh what a base we chose) for the Weeks events leading up to the Marines graduation on Friday. Could not be more pleased!

Wonderful property
Property is exactly as advertised- clean, comfortable, with many on site activities. Kitchen is full of new clean appliances including three kinds of coffee makers, electric tea kettle, griddle, waffle maker, etc. there is a gas fireplace on main level. Fun backyard with many toys for kids. Property host is very responsive. Location is 15 minutes from Oceanside beach, 45 minutes to San Diego, and one mile from a Starbucks if the 3 coffee makers are not enough! (Be aware the town rules restrict backyard use after 10 pm and before 9am, which was fine for us.). We would definitely rent here again.
