Clean, great ocean views, steps from beach, well stocked VRBO (kitchen, beach items), fantastic outdoor seating area to see/hear ocean, fun putting green.
Sunsets, surfers, hummingbirds! What a fabulous property! Fabulous view. Beautiful beach. Owners are super helpful and available.
As close to perfect as you could expect!
Communications before, during, and after were excellent. Owner responded quickly with any questions or concerns. Home was a bit smaller than we anticipated based on the photos, but still a nice stay for our family. Outside space is what we enjoyed most. The huge sliding doors that opened onto the patio were wonderful, and many hours were spent out on the patio enjoying the view and the sound of the crashing waves. Kids loved playing on the putting course. Home was nicely equipped although some of the appliances, shower heads, etc. are showing their age. Parking at the city lot is a bit of a pain, but guess that just comes with the area and something we haven't had to deal with before. The lot is just a block away, and the owner reimburses for parking, so all in all not bad, just a hassle to purchase daily parking. A major plus is the 5 minute walk to the beach, and easy walking distance to the pier. Overall, a very nice stay. Would do it again.
This house has everything including a spectacular view! The accordion windows are a special touch. It is the perfect beach house, expertly decorated and very clean. We loved the miniature golf course ... didn't even notice that when we booked. The walk to the beach was even easier than I thought it would be ... given it is located on a hill. The owners are wonderful, and they were very eager to make sure we had a great stay. If there is a downside, it's the lack of parking, but that's not a reflection on the hosts. You have to get a new parking pass each day at 8am ... at least that's what the sign states. But we are early risers, so no problem there. I highly recommend this home!
This property is a diamond in the ruff. If you blink your eyes, you will drive right passed it! The property is clean, spacious, yet cozy, and has amazing views of the ocean. The property boasts a beautiful outdoor space with an area to hang out and to play a little golf. The property owners left fantastic directions and were there if needed at any time. This is a must if you are in Oceanside!
Beautiful location and wonderful home. Great view of the beach and a 3 minute walk to the sand. Just enough above to avoid the crowds of people walking by on the Strand the whole time. You can hear the ocean the whole time if you open the doors/windows.
The deck and backyard are fantastic. I would rent this home again!
We moved away from the Oceanside area so we were glad to come back for a vacation at a familiar, local place. Can't beat the views and the old-school beach bungalow style.
We had a wonderful stay. That a beautiful property. My 81 year old husband couldn't do a lot of walking so we just enjoyed sitting on the patio. Host was super. Can't say enough good about it.
What a perfect place to stay when looking for a beach house in SoCal. The owners thought of everything. The pictures and description did a good job of describing the property, but they do not do it justice. You have to rent and stay there to really see how great it is. Literally see and hear the waves crashing on the beach, and feel the ocean breeze through the open back accordion door. Any future visits to SoCal will be planned around this house availability. If you're looking and still trying to decide, just book it. You won't regret it!
This tropical beach home has everything you could need for a great beach vacation. Plenty of room for everyone of all ages to enjoy themselves.. a quick walk to the beach and stunning views for those that prefer to stay and enjoy a glass or two..
The descriptions, including photos accurately represent this house above the north end of Oceanside Beach. The property offers a sense of expansiveness with the sliding glass doors open from the main room onto a view over rooftops to the palm trees and ocean. While the house is physically small, its openness, patio and sliding doors, offer a feeling of space for even a family of 6 with 3 children, aged 6-11. The kitchen is very amply provided for with plenty of dishes, including a variety of them, along with abundant pots and pans. It was easy for us to cook during our multi-week stay. More than any other beach property we have used, there are plenty of beach towels, beach chairs, boards for riding the surf and even an umbrella. We left an additional board since the 7 year old needs a new, larger one. There are 2 air conditioners that perform very well. We rarely used them, as the cool summer temperatures made the house very comfortable. The children enjoyed the fire pit outside, and the adults cooked on the charcoal grill and read in the plentiful seating space on the patio. The description is clear about the absence of parking at the home. However, we found that there was ample city parking available nearly in front of the house, especially if we didn't move the car during the busy afternoons of Saturday and Sunday. The owners are very responsive and generous in their information about the house. I hope you enjoy your stay here as much as we did.
The house was clean and exactly as described. The ocean view was incredible. The kitchen had everything we needed. There were beach chairs to take to the ocean and toys for the kids to play with. It was a short walk to the beach and it is a lovely beach. There was a festival going on down by the Pier and our only concern was the parking which was stated up front and Mike did reimburse us for our parking permits. We had trouble finding a place to park on the weekend and it discouraged us from going out in case we couldn't find a parking place when we came back.
Unit was great great location amazing ocean view very comfortable you have the Putting green and miniature golf which was awesome for the little ones the owner was great nice and clean unit very Control definitely we'll rent Again and recommend to friends
Amazing Views, location, amenities and host! I don't want to get too excited about this property as i fear the house may not be available for us again when we book again next year, but I have to because this property and the host, Michael, deserves praise. Don't hesitate on staying here. You will absolutely love it!
Overall had a superb stay and would definitely stay again.
Pros:
- Very short walk to the beach + beach accessories
- Backyard putting greens
- Deck and bifold doors for ocean breeze air
- Lots within walking distance
- Smooth process for logistics
Cons:
- Parking is pretty close, though have to daily renew the ticket.
- Street facing rooms a bit noisy for street noise
- Internet was good, though not stellar
This was the perfect location for our family to enjoy the beach, within a short walk. The view from the house was incredible with the large windows that opened up to the outside. We very much enjoyed the scenery and open living concept. The hosts were great communicators and very welcoming. Thank you!
