We needed a house for our guys golf trip and it was perfect. Had a little something for everyone with the pool, jacuzzi, pool table, pacman, and ping pong. We needed a house that allowed smoking outdoors and choices were very limited, not sure why its not allowed at most places but it was one of the main reasons we chose this house but it ended up being great in every other aspect as well. 10 min to Oceanside bars too. Highly recommend for groups and families.

This home is gorgeous and has everything you need. We had a girls trip of 8 people and paid the extra event fee to invite local family and friends. It ended up being 28 people total and everyone fit comfortably. The host and his team are very detail oriented and quick to respond. The home is near lots of shops and eateries as well so you don't need to travel far for anything. Would absolutely stay here again.

Perfect Stay for our Wedding Weekend

The property was amazing. So many rooms for our group on the inside and plenty of amenities outside to entertain us. If we had one criticism it would be that the pool could use more chaise given the capacity of the home - some of us were not able to lay out in the beautiful California sun.

Perfect for our Multi-Generation Vacation

Lovely place and a quick hop to the beach. There's a grocery store handy, as well as a lot of place to get take out. We enjoyed all of the outdoor perks like the pool, hot tub, ping pong, the swings, and a great outdoor dining area. If it's available when we head to Oceanside again, we'd definitely go back.

This place is an absolute GEM! My husband and I recently celebrated our Anniversary and wanted a place with a huge backyard for the pups and plenty amenities! This place surpassed our expectations! The place was incredibly immaculate, organized and entertaining! The host was very attentive with any questions and very accommodating! We highly recommend this place and are looking forward to a future stay!

Wonderful views. Very comfortable home. Well stocked kitchen. We ate most of our meals there. Everything was easy to use. My grandkids (6 year old twin boys and 7 year old grand daughter) were in the pool lots of the time. Quiet neighborhood.

This was a nice property with a BEAUTIFUL view. The communication with the owner was very fast. The only thing we noticed was the listing said there would be a gym but didn’t see one. Other than that it was perfect. I will rebook this location the next trip.

We had such a wonderful stay at Paradise! The home was exactly as pictured. The home and decor is so inviting and welcoming. The home is very clean. The labels in the kitchen were a huge help and they have everything imaginable you may need in there. I appreciated the abundance of towels and toilet paper in every bathroom. Also plenty of pillows too! The "she shed" as we called it, was such a fun little hangout spot. The thoughtfulness and care that was put into the home to create a fun welcoming place to stay was very clear. I truly felt like I was in paradise. We hope to return soon! Thank you!!
