      July 26, 2015
      Sandcastle Shores Apartments are only two blocks from the beach, and downtown Carlsbad is within perfect walking distance. The location is perfect! The two bedroom, one bath apartment is comfortable, cozy, and definitely the place to call home. There is plenty of space in the apartment to store all of your things and be clutter free. There is a fireplace in the living room for those chilly winter nights in San Diego county. Perfect for curling up on the couch with warm apple cider and a movie! ...
      The kitchen is spacious as well, though it could use a little more counter space if you like to cook. The appliances are upgraded in certain apartments, though they weren't in mine but still worked wonderfully. Every room in the apartment besides the kitchen and bathroom are carpeted. The kitchen and bathroom have a vinyl flooring that looks like hardwood. It's a little difficult to keep clean, and could use a revamp. The little patio is perfect for a small grill during summer! The complex also offers a pool and hot tub, trash removal, and recycling. There is a property manager on site and available if residents need anything!
