About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

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.
