Beautiful & very clean place! Tim was responsive every time I had questions. The stock of kitchenware was the best of any rental Iโ€™ve ever stayed-plenty of dish ware & cookware for every use! Close enough to walk everywhere we needed.

Location is perfect and Tim is incredibly responsive. We had a problem with the gas being shut off and Tim was on top of it. But it was still a hassle for people to go to other friends places for a hot shower for the 1st day. Very happy with how he handled it all.

My wife and I loved our month long stay in this fantastic unit. It was clean and well cared for and our host was very responsive to anything we needed. The location was perfect for walking into town and on the strand or the beach. The ocean view from this unit is great with beautiful sunsets and we really enjoyed watching the surfers each morning. Everyone we met in Oceanside was very friendly. We hope to do it again this next year.

Great views, lovely property

We stayed here for a week and had a great time. The ocean views were spectacular and beach access was very close.The property was well appointed, including beach accessories and baby gear. Everything most families would need was included in the kitchen. The owner/manager communicated well with us and we would definitely stay here again.

Perfect beach get-a-way

We spent 5 wonderful nights at this condo. It was a perfect location, easy to walk to restaurants and of course directly across from the beach. It was in a busy area yet it was never loud, rather peaceful listening to the ocean waves and fun people watching. The condo itself was very comfortable and had everything we could need. Management checked in with us to make sure that everything was to our liking. We visit the area often and will certainly look to stay there again.

Unobstructed beach view and no pets allowed. Property was very clean but does not have a full length mirror. Very nice patio area. Could use ceiling fans in bedrooms for air movement. Two parking spots per unit are great and all living area is on one level which is great! Short walk to all amenities. Would definately return to this location.

Perfect vacation

My husband and I and our small dog, Bogie enjoyed a 32 day stay at this Oceanside condo. The condo was beautifully furnished with everything we could possibly need. The location could not have been more perfect with easy access to the beach and great restaurants. Our view of the ocean were outstanding and we enjoyed each amazing sunset to the fullest. The property manager, Tim, and his lovely wife, Aurora, could not have been more helpful in assisting us with any questions or concerns we had. We absolutely recommend this outstanding VRBO and definitely hope to return.

Great for a Girls Trip!

This condo was perfect! We were just steps from the beach with an amazing beach view from our living area. The unit was newly refurbished so it was both beautifully furnished and pristine. The beds were comfy and made up with the softest linens. It came with two parking spaces so there was never a worry about parking. We were two blocks from the pier and the fun downtown area with two new hotels and lots of good restaurants and shops. Overall this is a great value. If you are not familiar with the beaches in San Diego, you should know that this is one of the lesser frequented beaches. I attribute this to its location 30+ miles from the main attractions of the city. If, like me, your goal is to sit an the beach and enjoy beautiful sunsets, this is good choice. It was a delight working with the property manages. They saw to all of our needs and answered questions quickly. Check-in was easy.

Home was very clean and just as the pictures show. There are a lot of stairs to get from the parking to the unit as well as down to the beach. This isnโ€™t necessarily a problem but just something to keep in mind when booking. They had beach chairs, umbrellas, etc all available to use which was very convenient. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies. A/C worked wonderfully. Overall a great place and I would definitely stay again.

Wow what a beautiful place. It was clean and the pictures were exactly as it was in person. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, silverware, mixing bowls and anything you need. There were some spices and foil and plastic wrap which was nice and convenient. Having two parking spaces was a definite plus. I would stay there again and I do recommend it to anyone that wants to be by the beach and pier. One last plus was that it was very quiet there. The rooms were quiet and the whole area, no loud parties going on. It was a 10 out of 10 for us!
