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.

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.

Great stay

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.

Great entertainment place! Just know that it takes about 20 minutes for the hot tub to get hot. The upsatirs 2nd bathroom showet takes a while to get hot and does not have good water pressure. Use the master bedroom shower, works better!

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.

Backyard Paradise

Had a lovely time at this vacation rental. The house was wonderful with plenty of space and large master suite. The the outdoor balcony off the master was great for taking in the sunset, having drinks, and watching my kids having fun in the gorgeous pool and hot tub. The backyard space is spacious and the pool/hot tub were amazing and the perfect temp. The backyard was made for fun with a BBQ and fun games to keep you busy. The kitchen was well appointment with all the amenities you would need. The house location was convenient for touring various places near La Costa, Del Mar, La Jolla and San Diego. Highly recommend and would stay again.

Christmas gathering

The place is beautiful. The location is quiet and private, even though there are neighbors close by. Easy to travel to shopping and restaurants. Will need a vehicle to get around. Back yard is the best. Grass area and the playground equipment was loved by the grandkids. All of us enjoyed the gas firepit (didn't have to avoid the smoke), used it daily. The pool looks amazing. will have to come back in warmer weather. The kitchen was great for multiple cooks. Especially loved the outdoor grilling kitchen - had some good grills on that! Would recommend having a single coffee cup maker.The extra beds upstairs was great. The day bed with trundle bed was a new adventure for the two little girls.Enjoyed our time there. Thank you for letting our family have a great place to gather together.

Great for families with older kids but caution for toddler age kids

House was great, but the best part is the yard. Pool was incredible, but please read the entire listing description as you will have to pay extra to heat the hot tub. The pool fence didn’t lock correctly and encircled just the eating area which was challenging because of the kids wanted to play in the grass/ playground we had to be very aware because the pool was right next to it and unfenced. The fence also wasn’t functioning propey and took some finagling to get to close and lock, with young kids it was tough. The pool deck is also wildly slippery, which again not great for small kids. Otherwise be prepared to purchase bottled water as the filter on the fridge didn’t work and the tap made a few of our guests sick. The WiFi also worked intermittently unfortunately and was very slow.

Amazing Property!!!!

We had the most amazing time. It was perfect for a group of our size. We have stayed at a lot of properties over the years and this one was by far the best. It has absolutely everything you need. I wish I could give 10 stars. If asked, could they do anything different…I would say look into the internet, it went in and out throughout our stay. For us that was not a huge issue because we were not using it most of the time.
