I had the best time celebrating my 40th with five of my closest girlfriends! The house had everything we needed, from kitchen items, pool floats, beach cruisers, and great communication with the hosts. They gave me a welcome tray full of goodies, awesome recommendations to local hot spots, and greeted us on arrival. We will book again!

Everything in this house was well stocked and so comfortable. There was everything you might need. The host Laurie was very welcoming and made sure we were taken care of. The house was beautiful and we loved the pool. The only thing I wish is that it had a better beach nearby. The one near the house was rocky and not much for the kids to play on so we had to go 2 miles to Oceanside beach or drive to other beaches.

We loved staying at this beautiful property for our week long family reunion! The layout and number of bedrooms worked out perfectly for us. The kitchen is probably the most well-equipped kitchen of any VRBO we have stayed in. We all enjoyed the heated pool, especially the kids. There were plenty of pool toys, toys and games for the kids, too. And it was an easy walk to the beach. Laurie is an amazing host, easy to work with and very responsive when we had any questions or issues. We would absolutely stay here again!

Our group was in town for a 5 day stay in early December and had a wonderful stay at the "Mermaid House".Well appointed and stocked, it provided plenty of room for our family of 11, aging from 2 to "mid sixties".Bikes came in handy to tool around the town and the pool (heated) and spa were a treat.Laurie was an excellent host, personally greeting us at the home and providing us treats upon our arrival. She was also very quick to respond to any minor issues we may have had, mostly due to the lack of familiarity with the property.We would absolutely book this property again!

Cannot say enough about our stay at this property. Laurie is an incredible host. She is responsive and very accommodating. The house itself was extremely comfortable for our week with extended family group of 12 which allows you to spread out nicely. They have everything you need from housewares, to pool toys and endless beach equipment which was great for us coming from the east coat. We would definitely stay again at this awesome Oceanside property.

About the host

Hosted by Laurie

Host profile image
We have lived in Oceanside for over 25 years, we have two children and very much enjoy our life here in southern California. We invite you to our beach home where you to can begin to create new memories and enjoy your beach-life get-Away!

Why they chose this property

This property is totally unique to the beach area because it has a 3 separate units, courtyard, a BBQ, gated yard, and a mosaic tile Mermaid pool and hot tub. It truly is a beautiful and spacious home. The views are spectacular and the beach is just a short walk away.

What makes this property unique

Many families travel as a group and find themselves having to lodge separately, eat out every night and being cooped-up in a small room together for activities. Not here. We can accommodate families of most sizes. This spacious property and layout allows you and your family to enjoy your vacation and time away from home while offering you all the comforts of home.
