We lived in Oceanside 10 years ago and walked the strand several times a week. Watched many of these condos being built. What a treat to spend 5 days with a beach front view in this beautiful condo, not only from the living room, the kitchen, but the front bedroom also. The front balcony was very comfortable and spent most of our time out there. Would go back again.

Beautiful condo, stocked with everything we needed. Spectacular views. We had several maintenance issues come up, some taken care of while we were there, others not. That put a bit of a damper on our stay. Can't beat the views, though.

We really enjoyed our stay. The location of this condo is perfect. Literal steps to the beach. And Oceanside is a quaint little beach town and we’ll keep coming back here instead of busy San Diego proper. The train station is close (very walkable) as well. We stayed with 7 adults and had plenty of space. It’s nice to have a covered parking garage and they had all the beach amenities so we didn’t have to pack anything in that way! Happy to stay her again. Would highly recommend.

A Month On The Strand.

The property was everything the listing said it was. Waking up to the sound of waves was wonderful. We saw daily surfers and occasional pods of dolphins from the balcony. There was nothing missing in the kitchen which was well appointed with everything from baking pans to electric hand mixers.
