P. S. Platinum in Carlsbad, California

“Awesome stay! We had everything we needed!”

“Wonderful place right on the beach!”

“We loved our stay and would definitely be back. The reviews were not very recent, but we took a chance anyway. The view was spectacular and the rental was amazing. The photos that I took matched the liating photos accurately. Though, be mindful that this is a beach house and is going to show signs of the elements. Its a bit dated, but funky beach cute. My only critique is that there is no AC, so can feel hot midday. Plan ahead by opening windows in the morning and blowing fans. The flys are abnoxious and stubborn, so blowing fans was just a luxury to them too and they wouldn't leave, making food prep annoying. The linens had stains on them, but seemed to be clean anyway. I think thats just beach life. Also, the pillows have zero fluff and were just aweful. I would like to stay again and even tried to extend my time. But would have bought pillows to be more comfortable. The private access to the beach was special and the use of beach toys was so wonderful for my kid.”

“Great place! We enjoyed our stay!”

“Views are are as seen in the photos. Great location, steps to the beach, beautiful views & close enough to town. Negatives are the condition of the property, deferred maintenance throughout. The sliding door to the stairs was barely operable, thick dust covered air return, floors weren't clean when we arrived & even the crisper drawer in fridge was completely cracked/broken. AC must have been controlled remotely - it was 80 degrees inside though we had set at 75. Were told by a neighbor there is a remodel planned so owners must have figured "why bother" with maintenance. Worth the $$ for the views but not for the condition of the property.”
