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, 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.

The downstairs “Seahorse Room” has a new queen sized bed, with French doors leading to a private courtyard. 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 14 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 55’ 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 and access to unlimited local and long distance calls within the US.
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. There is also shuffleboard, a high-end electric dartboard, a foosball table, PlayStation, 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.

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 family and friends to gather!
This is a beautiful property and wonderful for a large group! We had friends and family come together to celebrate our son's wedding. The home is very nicely furnished and everything is true to the photos. The yard is beautiful and a great extension of the home.

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 Place for Family Vacation
We had 11 members stay. Near many San Diego attractions-- Zoo, Lego land, Oceanside Harbor, etc. Near grocery stores as well. Quiet neighborhood and near a local park to walk to with many hiking trails. Great pool and game room for the kids. Tight space to park 3 cars in the drive way with SUVs. Highly recommend!

Nice home in quiet development
Communication with the host was effortless. He worked with us to heat the pool. The property is in a quiet development and pool hours begin at 10am. It is a short walk to a park and playground. The game room and pool were the main features that our family enjoyed.

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.

Family Reunion
Perfect for family with our grown children & grandkids! Home offered many shared & separate spaces, but we truly all loved the well maintained & well equipped backyard. From sharpening up our puttering skills, swimming, grilling many meals, & s’mores by the fire pit- what else do you want? Close proximity to everything! Highly recommended. Enjoy!

Amazing house and pool!!
Great house for families! There is so much to do! The backyard pool, hot tub, and seating was amazing! It is an oasis!! We spent a lot of time out there. Inside, the game room was a lot of fun for the kids and adults. Located close to Legoland and the beach. We took our adult children, their spouses and grandkids. Plenty of room for 11 to gather for meals as well. There is also a park within walking distance with a playground. This home is a 10!!

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.

Fun house
The house was wonderful, the game room was great for all ages. The pool is large, the backyard has a comfortable setting. We had children playing outside with an uncle chasing them they were playing while the kids screamed. A neighbor complained we were making too much noise on a Saturday at 6:30 pm. It was disappointing children playing was frowned upon by the neighbors. Overall the house itself is great for families with easy access to everything visitors may need. Charles is wonderful.

Amazing getaway home
This is a wonderful house for families. We had 4 adults and 6 kids ages 10 and 4. There was more than enough room to enjoy our time together without feeling like we were in each others space. The kids loved the pool and hot tub! They were in it about every night. The open layout is great for parents to cook in kitchen and see living room and pool area. The kitchen has everything you need for easy meal prep. It's located about 5 min from walmart. The neighborhood was very friendly. We forgot to move our truck from the street and the neighbor came over to remind us before we got a ticket when they were sweeping the street. Charles was very helpful. He accommodated our stay since we had an early check in flight and late check out flight. He text to check on us during our stay and was very responsive to texts. The whole transaction was smooth from the beginning. I'd give it 10 stars! Only suggestion I wish it had was a table to eat outside by the pool.

Nice home but not good for kids!!!!
This property is beautiful and very well maintained and Charles is an owner manager that is very evolved in his property. When you book you should ask specific questions about "House Rules". One of the rules that seem really odd is "no one in the back yard after 10:00pm ". I completely understand quiet time ordinances but you can't even be in the back yard and this is just one of many. One morning I get a text from Charles at 7:30 asking me nicely to get the kids out of the pool. I ask if they were too loud and he said no but a neighbor had complained they were in the pool. I would understand completely if the kids were being loud at all but they weren't they were actually soaking in the hot tub. The reality is he has overly sensitive neighbors or a camera in the back yard. This is a beautiful home that's well maintained and is great to sleep a lot of people but if you plan on spending any time hanging out or using the back yard you should probably book a different property.

Great Place to Stay
Home over exceeded my expectations. Charles is great to work with. Easily accessible if needed. Home is equiped to the max. For the culinary specialist there is almost every needed tool to make a great meal. Although I didn't get to use it, the ones who did really enjoyed the game room. My experience is definitely worthy of 5 stars. I polled my guest and they had these constructive inputs: Downstairs TV volume was difficult to work at times. After you turned the TV on there was no volume. Not quite sure what we were doing wrong. After many people trying to get it to come on, someone would get it to work. But we didn't know why. Pool spa could be warmer. I think it only got up to 95 degrees. And lastly, the BBQ could use a good cleaning. There is a lot of carbon billed up on burners and grates which caused a lot of flair ups when cooking our ribs Friday night. I got most of the carbon billed up on the grates cleaned but the burners could use a good cleaning. Wood definitely stay here again. LW Meyer

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.
