The condo was in an excellent condition. Especially helpful were the information files with hints where to find restaurants, shopping facilities etc. The description was accurate. And as the wheather turned out to be as nice as the condo, we had a wonderful time. We would recommend the condo without hesitation. Although we met our host Pamela very briefly we always felt sure we could have asked her anything had it become necessary

Owner response:Dear Henning, I apologize for my late resposne thanking you, had some family matters going on for the past few months and just settling in with my 86 yr old mom from Oregon. I am so glad it turned out to be a very memorable stay. I know it is hard when bookings outside the country. I do hope for a return visit from you soon and thank you for taking such good care of the condo. Warm Regards, Pamela Owner of Paradise by the Sea

We came from Australia and loved this condo! Pamela was very helpful to us as well. It was up to 100 degrees then rained last 2 days here. Lovely! We met some nice people Lyndsey and Joe, we went to Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Diego. The Zoo, Grand Canyon, Helicopter, Black Canyon Rafting, Padres vs Cubs, Universal Studios and many restaurants. Seeing our son again for the first time in 2 years was the best part, Thanks!

Dear Pam, This place was so great! I'm so glad I came and was able to write about my experience. I got to see the ocean for the first time and spending the vacation with the love of my life. Everyone was really friendly here and the weather was cool yet hot which made the ocean refreshing. The room was amazing and beautiful. There were alot of exciting things to do as well. I got a cute top at the festival that they have every thursday right up the street from the pier, and the San Diego Gas Lamp district is a spot for the night life where I culd enjoy my first week of being 21! This was the best birthday ever! thanks! Live, Laugh, and Love always- Aaiken and Mark.

The weather was amazing cool yet hot which made the ocean very refreshing. NCV C-310 is an amazing room and loved all of the mirrors. Loved the sand stuff to play with. My boyfriend and his parents bonding time was awesome LOL. Everyone was so friendly here! Especially the guy who asked to take a picture of my boyfriend for his sand merman. LOL We enjoyed seeing the ocean for the first time, spending my first vacation with the love of my life and getting to meet his parents. The most memorable event was dropping my purse in the Koi Pond and almost had a breakdown thinking it was gone but they got it out for me or I woulnd't have gone home. LOL We went to the San Diego Gas Lamp district to check out the night lifw and enjoy my first week of being 21 and the train ride. This place is so great and I'm so glad I came and was able to stay in this beautiful room and write my experience in this book. I just also wanted to sharw how much I love my boyfirend and I know I am going to marry him, cheezy I know buy I am forever a hopeless romantic and just wanted to say it was the best birthday I have ever had.

We drove down from Redlands, CA not too far about a 2 hour drive. It was 108 when we left and what an awesome relief North Coast Village and this condo C-310 is so beautiful, our grandsons live here and Pamela was right when she said it had everything we would need and then some. We had so much fun, fishing early in the morning, GREAT pizza at Dominics in the Marina and visiting our grandchildren. Cant wait to come back and we will defineltey look you up Pamela as you are truly Paradise by the Sea.

Dear Pamela, We could not have chosen a better place to stay for our 11 day holiday in San Diego. The beds are cozy and being so close to the beach was wonderful. The sound of the ocean was very relaxing. The complex is beautiful Flora and Faina is well kept and the staff here is really friendly. The mirror in the upstairs bathroom sheds at least 20 lbs off your body, fabulous! The weather was perfect, not a rainy day, so we were out every waking moment. It was so easy to get around Oceanside and San Diego as a whole, made for easy travel. Our tourist destination never disappointed all very large and a full days worth of activities, a wee bit pricey, but lots of bang for your buck! Pamela is wonderful and very accommodating, any trouble was addressed immediately, beautiful energy! We will be back one day and will recommend San Diego, North Coast Village and of course "Paradise by the Sea" .org (Pamela) to all of our friends and family. Regretfully must go back home but we will leave with wonderful memories and we'll take some sunshine home with us in our hearts. Thanks Again Pamela, Jessica, Mike, Sloan and Morgan

My husband, 3 year old daughter and myself stayed here for 2 weeks in May 2010. The accommodations were wonderful, very well decorated and located right on the beach. The grounds were immaculate and the staff very friendly. Pamela was extremely accommodating and a pleasure to deal with. We are all looking forward to our next visit, which will be as soon as we can. Thanks again for a great family holiday!!! Jessica M.

Owner response:Jessica, Thank you so much for the review, how is the little one? Hope all is well with you and you are welcome back anytime, I feel like we became friends overnight. You left the condo in great condition and I so appreciate that too. Take Care and hope to hear from you again soon. Warmest Regards, Pamela Hayes Owner Paradise by the Sea

It was 70 degrees and we went to the harbor, whale watching and field of flowers. We also went to the outlet mall and bought a Coach purse and a game at Target. We have been visiting this area for the past 15 yrs. We love the beach and playing on the sand. This is a very NICE location and a very quiet condo, nice facilities, we would stay here next visit. Thank you, Pamela

Thank you for the beautiful place. We are a group of friends from Arizona, San Diego, Chino, and Rancho. We met over 20 years ago at our church. We are all moms and have made an effort to get away once a year to catch up, laugh, and pray for each other. We cherish these times and have been there for each other through deaths, divorces, raising our sons and daughters, and illnesses. Thank you for your fully supplied condo. We ate, played games and walked on the beach and Yvonne and Karen fed the pelicans walking on the beach. Christine, Cathie, Yvonne, Kristy, Karen, Rose, Jennie

Hi Pamela, We had a great time traveling with family and grandma "JuJu". Our 2 yrs old made lots of frinds on the beach and we so enjoyed watching him dip his toes in the ocean for the very first time. We had daddy's birthday at Ruby's dinner and can't wait to come back to Vigilucci's and the Street Market on Thursday nights. Thanks for the tips! Great condo!

Dearest Pamela, We want to thank you so much for a most wonderful vacation, much needed. With the economy as it is and my son in law losing his job shortly before our arrival, we feel truly blessed to have had the opportunity to stay in this beautiful condo once again. You are such a bright light to work with and thank you again for all you did to make this possible for us. God Bless you!
