Located within 24 km of Torrey Pines State Reserve and 33 km of San Diego Zoo Safari Park, Coastal Hideaway provides rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Carlsbad.

I booked this property on a whim without much research and so was incredibly surprised at how nice it was! The host (Janie) was incredibly communicative and gave clear check in instructions. Parking in front of their house was very easy. The property is incredibly clean and well equipped - they provided bottles of water, dressing robes etc. which was a lovely touch. The bed was very cosy and I slept like a log for those three days! Yoghurt, granola and fruit is provided for breakfast which was perfect, as well as access to their lovely back patio. Janie herself is also a delight - I was lucky to have a long chat with her and learn a little bit about her life and the area! Would definitely recommend if you want a quiet, safe and peaceful stay (important as a female solo traveller), close to but outside the hustle and bustle of San Diego.

Offering barbecue facilities and garden view, Kaza Kokos is located in Oceanside, 2.5 km from Oceanside City Beach and 35 km from Torrey Pines State Reserve.

I had a wonderful stay in a private room with a kitchenette. The room was next to a quiet and welcoming patio in the backyard of a private residence in Oceanside, CA. It was lovely! The host was gracious and very kind and even offered a laundry service for $5! An unexpected treat, as I was prepared to search for a laundromat. The kitchenette had everything I needed for simple and easy meals. The house is not far from the beach and there is a shopping center close by. The house is close to the I-5 interstate and was very easy to find. The WiFi was great and easy to connect to. I visit this area frequently and felt very fortunate to find Kaza Kokos. I will definitely stay here next time I am in the area!
