We loved the convenience of the location. This location is walking distance to many eateries, the Oceanside Pier, beach, and CVS. We were just a few minutes from the gate of Camp Pendleton (not really a walking distance but close by car). The parking space was much appreciated because the coffee shop and eatery across the street are very busy with street parking and having a designated parking space made it much easier. The provided beach gear was a great addition. Being from a place that is land-locked, not having to purchase body boards or sand items was very thoughtful and sweet. The place was nice and clean with a kitchen that was stocked with spices, cookware, and anything you would need to cook minus the actual groceries so while we didn’t use any of it because we were on the move quite a bit, it was definitely a plus if we had chosen to cook. The highlight for my teen son was the beach gear and the highlight of the stay for me was the security of the rental and cleanliness. If you are not from Cali, don’t be alarmed that there is no air conditioning, the breeze from the ocean provides enough cool air that if you open windows, it is cool inside all day. I actually grew to love not needing to use A/C so I want others to know whom might be used to such as well. Host responded to messages quickly and was accommodating throughout. The little booklet explained everything in perfect detail while not being overwhelming.
