Loved the ease of access, everything was exactly how it was described. Such a great location for walking to beaches and restaurants too. Thank you Warren you were a great host!!!
Clean, comfortable and great location to the beach and great restaurants. My friend and I stayed here for the Carlsbad Half Marathon, and the accommodations were perfect! Although it rained most of the time, there was never a shortage of things to do.
Second time staying here; great spot for visiting friends and family all over Oceanside and Carlsbad. Well equipped, garage is nice bonus for easy parking. Walking distance to lots!
This is our favorite place in the Oceanside/Carlsbad area. Nice, clean, comfortable, and an easy walk to beaches, restaurants and a coffee shop. Very smooth check in and check out process.
Warren is an excellent host. The property is as described, and the location is very walkable to the ocean and several restaurants. We especially liked Best Pizza and Anita’s Mexican. First time spending any time in Oceanside. Perfect weather.

Perfect Home Away From Home
This property was exactly as described on VRBO. Clean, comfortable, very close to the ocean. Oceanside is a nice beach town. We will definitely book another stay later this year or next summer.
The property is very comfortable and helped make our visit very enjoyable. The only issue we would pass on is that there was not much hot water on the shower - it was warm at best.
Great little condo, short walk to restaurants, coffee, and the beach. Not as loud as staying on the strand. Very comfy bedrooms. Kitchen/living area is small but worked great for us. We also brought our 7# dog and the backyard was perfect for her. Excellent communication from Warren!

It met our expectations
Clean and comfortable. Warren was accommodating and the house was well furnished.
We had a great time in South O. We loved the high ceilings, the enclosed patio, the garage access, the beach equipment, the hummingbirds, butterflies and ocean breezes! Warren was an attentive and kind host.
We had a wonderful visit in June. The property was located in a great area of Oceanside within walking distance to tons of things to do and great places to eat and drink. The house was very clean. Warren was a great host and easy to communicate with. We’d love to come back.
Warren was communicative and responsive as host, and clearly maintains his well equipped property to a high standard. Location is only a few minutes walk from a couple small beaches and park. Easy highway access a few minutes inland. The small private patio was very nice. Our small dog was a welcome as we were. Would definitely stay again.
This VRBO was great for our week vacation. Very clean and stocked. It even has a garage with bikes, beach chairs and boards. It was so nice having a garage so we didn't have to try to find parking! Great location! So many places to walk to. We will be back!
