Nice quiet condo one mile from stunning beaches.
Our condo is located in south Carlsbad, a park like community with trees and grass surrounding it. There is one shared wall with a quiet neighbor. It is the upper unit with large patio. There is access to two pools and jacuzzis. It is close to a protected lagoon with beautiful walks, one mile (walkable) from the beach, five miles from Carlsbad Village with boutique shops and restaurants, and is a 30 minute drive to San Diego (a vibrant city) and La Jolla Sea Caves. Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve is 2,000 acres of coastal state park in San Diego. Local attractions include Safari Park and Legoland. Carlsbad is 60 miles from Disneyland and 90 miles to Hollywood/Los Angeles. Our home can accommodate 3-4 people, which includes one older child (8+).

US093297From our first communication, Elissa was kind, clear, and honest with me. I had for the first time in years recently been thinking that I would like to return to the San Diego area for a visit and suddenly Elissa reached out to propose an exchange -- what a gift! We share many similar interests and values so everything felt very smooth and easy from the moment we began exchanging messages straight through to the conclusion of our exchange.
Elissa and Arthur made our exchange a joy in every way. They are generous, responsive, engaged, active people who love life and wanted to make sure we enjoyed our time in their home, as well. My dear friend Trinh and I stayed in their lovely condo while they stayed in my flat and we all had a wonderful stay. Trinh and I especially enjoyed the peace, quiet, quick ocean access, and wildlife observation -- especially birds, dolphins, and seals -- we experienced while staying in Elissa and Arthur's home. We felt relaxed and comfortable from the moment we arrived, and Elissa's neighbor Loretta and Loretta's dog Baxter even contributed to the beauty of our stay. In fact, all the neighbors of Elissa and Arthur's we met during our stay were friendly and welcoming.
I recommend Elissa and Arthur as home exchange partners without hesitation and hope that we will have the opportunity to exchange homes again in the not-too-distant future...!
