After my dad spent 4 months in the hospital, I surprised my parents with a week in Oceanside. It was better than I had imagined. The ground floor unit had direct access to the beach and a view of the ocean from the patio. Nicely updated with every amenity you need.

We've been staying at this resort for over a decade now. It never dissapooints. The apartment was great. Only complaint is the 10 am checkout. Seems property management is still living in COVID times. Should be at least 11 am like the rest of the world. Other than that, we love the location and we love O'Side.

We had a wonderful time in the cozy condo with a fabulous location. We could walk right out to the sand in just a few steps, and sit on the patio watching the incredible February sunsets. It really started to feel like a home away from home and we can't wait to return!

Although the unit is at ground level, it was nice and bright. It was comfortable, nicely decorated, & fully equipped for long-term stays. We enjoyed sitting outside everyday watching sunsets, people walking-biking-surfing, birds & planes flying. We appreciated the fact that it had minimal clutter so was easy to keep clean.

This apartment was perfect for my Thanksgiving trip to see my son/s who are Marines stationed nearby. There was plenty of room for them to hang out...full kitchen to cook our Thanksgiving dinner in. The back porch area was beautiful and perfect The only "con: was that I was provided only one key as the other key did not go with this apartment. I received a call from the management telling me that I did not return both sets of keys...but since I had been aware of the mix up (I did not address it as we were good with the one wasn't a problem...and it was Thanksgiving so I really didn't want to bother the staff during their Holiday) I explained that I video taped me returning both sets of keys provided to me and the matter was settled! so well done

Reviewer Comments:
The location of this apartment was great and very convenient, which was the highlight of our stay. Unfortunately, the unit itself is in need of updates and a thorough deep cleaning.We found numerous dead insects throughout the apartment that appeared to have been there for some time and had not been cleaned up. In addition, several maintenance issues need attention. The towel fixture in the bathroom was broken and would fall apart whenever we tried to hang towels on it. The closet door was also broken, making it difficult to open and close properly, and it often became stuck.While the location was excellent, the condition and cleanliness of the apartment did not meet our expectations. With some updates, repairs, and better housekeeping, this could be a much more enjoyable place to stay.
