Escape to Highland House Casita, a private 1,100-square-foot coastal retreat nestled in the heart of Olde Carlsbad, less than a mile from the beach. Designed for relaxation, this resort-inspired getaway combines warm leather furnishings, rich wood accents, musical influences, and a touch of outlaw country charm to create a memorable stay.

One of the highlights of the property is the outdoor living space. Fire up the BBQ kitchen, dine under the California sky, unwind in the handcrafted copper soaking tub, sip your morning coffee on the expansive porch, or simply relax in the peaceful backyard surrounded by lush landscaping. Whether you're returning from a day at the beach or spending the afternoon at home, Highland House is designed to help you slow down and recharge.

Inside, you'll find a fully equipped kitchen, spacious living areas and everything you need for a relaxing vacation or extended stay.
