traveler reviews for this carlsbad house rental

Girls vacation reunion

Traveler girl (Danville, Ca)
Review submitted: May 13, 2013   Date of arrival: May 2, 2013

What a great location and home. My rather large group of girlfriends and I rented this house for the better part of a week. The house was nicer and more spacious than we imagined. After seeing how well stocked the kitchen was, we decided to take turns cooking and enjoyed most of our meals at the house. I have rented many many homes over the years and have never been as pleased as I was with the amenities in the kitchen. Most homes have adequate pots, pans, utensils, etc....but thIs home has a wonderfully stocked kitchen that will please any cook. The bedrooms are all very large and the beds we all agreed were very cozy. I particularly liked the jumbo bathtub downstairs as well as the deluxe oversized shower. The decorations in the home are very interesting...seems like the owners collect movie memorabilia. The attached in law suite was great even though we spent most of our time in the main house. We all commented how great it would be to rent this place with our spouses and children this summer as we could all stay together yet have privacy due to the size and layout. This was my second visit to Carlsbad but I got to know my way around pretty well as I was able to easily walk from the rental to various areas downtown. Very conveniently located next to freeway. Parking was great and can easily fit numerous cars. Only negative comment I have about my experience is that they need a new can opener. We hope to be back soon,

Recommended for: age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, tourists without a car

Owners response: What a wonderful, respectful group of ladies! Glad you had a great week and hope the can opener wasn't too much of a problem. Thanks for letting me know so I can replace it immediately! You all did a wonderful job leaving the Golden Fantasy Mansion almost too easy to clean up after your stay. Please feel welcome to come stay with us anytime.
Sincerely,
Karin & Dan Golden

Wonderful Family Reunion Venue

Life's Rad in Carlsbad (Carlsbad)
Review submitted: May 3, 2013   Date of arrival: July 22, 2012

We had a wonderful time at the Golden Fantasy Mansion last summer. We have a reunion every other year and this was one of the best properties we've found. We had 20 family members sleep there and everyone felt they had their own space. The large kitchen/living room area provided enough room for our family "program" (28 people) and there were plenty of other gathering areas for small groups.

I live nearby and visited the home prior to the reunion. The decor was interesting, but there were some pieces that my family wouldn't have been comfortable with, so Karin volunteered to remove them for our reunion. I very much appreciated her flexibility! The pieces that remained provided enjoyment for young and old alike...so many interesting objects and paintings.

The kitchen was well stocked and there was plenty of cupboard space to store staples. There was room to park all of the cars in the driveway, which is unusual for Carlsbad.

I've recommended Golden Fantasy Mansion to several of my friends who are having family gatherings.

Owners response: Thank you so much for the very nice review. Yes, we absolutely aim to please and you were such a pleasure to accommodate :)
So glad you had a great time at the mansion and we sincerely hope you will come back and stay with us again!

Great experience in Carlsbad

John C (Lindon, Utah, USA)
Review submitted: December 21, 2012   Date of arrival: August 4, 2012

Karin and Dan:

Our 2012 family reunion at the Golden Fantasy Mansion was extremely enjoyable. We found the house spacious for our 20+ family members and it accommodated all our needs. The large family rooms upstairs and down were perfect for group gatherings. Access to the property was especially easy, perhaps because the road to the north was closed. The freeway was close by and convenient to use, and the noise was not really bothersome, especially indoors. The house was well stocked with all the amenities needed and showed great care in providing such. All of our teenage girls (and some older) enjoyed being together in the granny flat. The large driveway made parking easy and convenient. Access to the beach was good and nearby. The owners, Dan and Karin, were especially helpful and gracious. We would definitely recommend this house for a great family vacation. Many thanks to you Dan and Karin for making our stay so enjoyable.

Owners response: What a wonderful family you have! You were all very neat and you left the mansion in terrific condition when you checked out. We also stay in vacation rentals and are usually not too happy with the absolute bare minimum that the owners provide for us and that is why we try so hard to make sure that you have every single thing you might need while you are staying with us :)
We really appreciate renters like you and cannot thank you enough for your very nice testimonial. We hope you come and stay with us again!
Sincerely,
Karin and Dan Golden
