Great place for families with dogs and kids. We stayed with my sister and our dog, who really enjoyed the fully enclosed and private backyard. We were also excited to see so many birds, in the neighbor’s huge tree and in the hedges of this property. The home itself needs a little TLC as it is an older residence but, that aside, everything worked well (as in appliances) and everything you need to relax and enjoy your vacation is there. Great amenities and paper products. We made several meals without having to buy seasonings and cooking oil. The house was clean and the linens were soft. The location is fairly close to the beach, and there are lots of shops close by, but be prepared for a lot of traffic on Oceanside Blvd. We were there during a heat wave and were comfortable with the fans and a small a/c unit in the living room. All in all, a great place to kick your feet up!

The house was furnished very nicely. I loved all her end tables and chests. I especially liked her decorative mirrors throughout. The only drawbacks were the driveway, which was very uneven and my car bottomed out a few times. It made it difficult for my husband who uses a cane to navigate going into the house. The AC was also an issue. It was a wall unit that only cooled the living room. It was turned on when we arrived and shut off around midnight. The remote that was attached didn’t work so we had to text the owner to turn it on every day. On our last day it wouldn’t turn on for her so she suggested changing the batteries which worked. The dining area was in a sunroom which was too hot for us to eat our meals there. Good location to the beach and stores.

Patricia, I advised you repeatedly that a/c is not listed as an amenity in this house, so I find it strange that your review focuses on this. Unfortunately, your visit was during a record-breaking heat wave.

Cozy Home

This home is perfect for a small family. The yard is a perfect place for children to unwind. The sunroom is a great place to have morning coffee and watch the sun come up. I would 100 percent recommend this house. The house was clean and the rooms were nicely decorated.

Great Place

The house was clean and ready to go upon our arrival. Backyard is awesome, perfect for our dog to run around and relax after long days out and about. Very quiet and nice neighborhood. Lots of privacy. Close to the beach, restaurants, etc. Garage to park vehicle. We would love to return in the future.

As advertised

The house has everything you need. Just bring a toothbrush and food and drink. The sunroom is very cool and there are lots of birds to watch. The host, Jana, was pleasant and easy to reach with any questions.

Cozy house with great garden

The Bluff Bungalow is a nice house in a great neighbourhood with a beautiful porch and garden. Jana is a wonderful, caring, helpful host and lets us feel welcome. Groceries are just around the corner, as well as dining and shopping areas. The beds are very comfortable. It was so good to have some complimentary like body wash, shampoo, and coffee/tee in the house when we arrived. We will be back!

Minnesota Escapees from Winter

My husband and I spent two weeks in the house. Our son and family live nearby, so it was easy to get together with them. We've been to San Diego many times and really love it. This was our first time in Oceanside. The house was great. It is as the pictures show. Very homey and comfortable. Our host was in contact frequently and let us know she was always available for questions. We recommend the property!

Great location for soccer tournament

We were in town for a soccer tournament at the sports complex and this house was about five minutes from the fields. It was clean and had everything we needed. There is turf in the backyard which was great for my son to train on. There is not air conditioning in the back bedrooms (there is air in the main areas) which worried me when we checked in since July can be hot but it was totally fine. The rooms cooled down without issue. We will stay again when we come for another tournament!

Great property, great host

We spent a week at this property during spring break. We had many outings planned in the SD area. The location was great for us as we didn’t want to be right in the city, and wanted to be close to Legoland. The house is comfy, cozy, and there are several well thought out details throughout - shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, coffee, sugar, creamer, laundry detergent, fabric softener, and a few more…! We’ve been to many places that have none of this. The host checked in with us, and also had a delivery sent asap because the home was low on toilet paper. She was very accommodating during our entire trip and also offered us a late checkout, which we very much appreciated! Overall we had a lovely stay and if we are ever in the area again we will stay here. PS the sunrise from the sunroom/backyard is gorgeous!

Perfect little bungalow!

This little bungalow is exactly what we needed for our family. We stayed because we were in between a move and Jana cannot have been easier to work with. She was extremely responsive and flexible. The backyard was great for our dogs to run around. It is completely fenced in and very private. We stayed for two weeks so we did get to know neighbors on both sides who are wonderful people. The entire neighborhood is really great. It’s very close to everything. 10 minutes to the beach with many restaurants and shops all within a minutes drive The home was very clean and well stocked. I would highly recommend this home. There is an a/c unit in the main room but we rarely used it. There is a nice cross breeze that comes through so we left windows open to sleep. It’s a very quiet neighborhood so we slept well.

Worth a second stay

Pros: Very clean environment. Use of the garage included. All the basic kitchen items included like salt, pepper, sugar coffee, tea and decent knives, laundry detergent etc. Cons: The patio had no screening so bugs can enter in if you open the windows or doors. Limited electric outlets- bring a power strip along. The street and driveway are steeply sloped which made it a challenge for my 90 year old mother to get in and out of the car with her walker. I will gladly return. Jana was a responsive host.
