Wonderfully located house!

Had a fantastic stay at this oceanfront house! The location is unmatched with phenomenal views, and proximity to walking path to beach and pier (as well as movie theatre and restaurants). Small discrepancies in that though there is a fireplace working in the pictures, it wasn't working when we arrived. Also, no garage remote for cars so we had to manually have someone open the garage everytime. We loved how big the kitchen was as well as the hot tub and comfortable beds. Also, very responsive host. 9/10 overall - the view can't be beat!

Super Comfortable and roomy

We had 6 adult family members staying at this nice large beach house. Beds are very comfortable nice large family room where we were able to gather with other family members in town. Kitchen is well stocked and Kim was super helpful about fixing refrigerator and installing a hanging bar in front bedroom. Garage was large enough to tightly fit 3 SUV’s and outside parking wasn’t a problem. Even though it says this is beach front it is behind the strand . The ocean view was still very good from the balcony. We are hoping to stay again next year!

AMAZING PROPERTY

I stayed at this home with some of my adult children, and my 3 month old granddaughter and it was wonderful! The home is very spacious, the kitchen well stocked, the beds were shockingly comfortable and the location great!!! If you have young kids you do need to walk a bit to have beach access but we were more than capable using the wagon. ( beach access right across street is limited as the tide rises) I have used vrbo many times for beach homes in Oceanside, San Clemente, Oxnard, etc. This house has been my absolute favorite!! We will be returning next summer!

Wonderful Stay in Oceanside

We spent a Mothers-day with extended family. The location and home were perfect. There is a very well stocked store a half block away next to a great little coffee shop. Lots of room to spread out with great views. The SPA guy comes right in on Monday morning. There was a sign letting us know it would happen, and it did. He could come after checkout10AM, but he came at 9AM. Overall, great stay. Highly recommended.

The BEST Vacation Rental of All

We had a large group of three families coming together for a fun CA adventure! I looked through many houses, trying to find one that would not only suit our needs for all of us staying there, but the desire to be close to the beach, etc. This home was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The pictures do not do it justice (although they are stunning - in person it’s just breathtaking). Three families were comfortable here, the house was so spacious. There is a cute market in walking distance for all of the little things we forgot to pack. We had an easy walk to and from the beach for both of our big beach days, relaxed it he hot tub on the top deck and even saw dolphins each night! We had to contact the property company for a small issue with the refrigerator and they were immediately helpful, and kind. I am so looking forward to booking here again each year as we make this a family tradition. Highly recommend this property, you will not be disappointed!

Was not notified of changes to the property

This was our second year and the owner did not notify me about locking up and denying access to a full bathroom and closet that had been available the previous year. It would have made a difference in our entire booking. We also ran out of toilet paper and had to buy more for all the bathrooms in use. Otherwise we loved it and had a nice time.

Nice, but...

It was probably just unfortunate timing, but the main refrigerator on the 2nd floor was not working when we arrived. We communicated with the property manager, but after the repair tech came out multiple times (disruption), it still didn't get fixed. We ended up having to use the smaller backup fridge in the garage, and we lost some food in the process. It was super inconvenient to go up and down the stairs to access food and drink all week. Pretty much all the shutters on the main floor were damaged and hard to operate. The Keurig unit was in 'descale' mode, which isn't the end of the world, but it's one of the small details that I would expect to be paid attention to for a VRBO property like this. Overall it was a nice stay... The house was nice, clean, quiet, and the location was super convenient with quick/easy access to anything in and around town.

Great place for extended family

There were 10 in our party, covering 3 generations, and the place was great. Everything was clean and ready to go when we arrived. The garage was convenient. The location to the beach was great as well! There are rocks on the beach immediately west of the house, but a very short walk north and we found beach to play in. Check in was easy and checkout was great without a bunch of tedious chores for us to do! If we are in the area again, we will consider this place again.

Spacious and great views

We had a good stay at this house as a multi-generational family. It is large and spacious, comfortable and well equipped. It is showing it's age a bit with some broken window cranks and torn screens. The windows in the dining area were very dirty which is unfortunate because the view is incredible. It's even better from the roof which was a fun place to hang out after a day at the beach! We enjoyed the hot tub, but for some reason the water temp maxed out at 99 degrees. We also couldn't use it the day the spa guy came because the chlorine fumes were too intense to be in the water. The location is great, walking distance to the beach, although you have to walk about 5 minutes north to get to any area with sand. Communication with the manager was ok.

Good place. Bad service.

Everything was great except for the garage door. Didn’t open when we came to the place and needed to get ready for a wedding so we had to manually open it. Tried to call the 24/7 contact number but no answer. Tried to leave a message but her mailbox was full. Very frustrating and caused us to be late to my sons wedding. And you might want to fix the flat bike tires in the garage or just trash the bikes. Site says there were buggy boards in the garage but only bikes with flat tires and some old carpet.
