We had an amazing time in unit D20 at NCV. The unit is very well appointed. The kitchen appliances were fairly new. The dining table was very nice and able to accommodate our family. The sofa, love seat, and chair were so comfy. We spent most of our time on the deck just listening to and admiring the ocean.
The location was perfect. Right on the beach. We loved the second story unit as the view of the beach was so wonderful. The beach and waves were perfect for our kids, although the locals said the waves were much higher than normal. Great for my daughter, not so much for my son (-:
The community is also very, very nice. We used the hot tub, pool, ping pong table, and grills. The location was also perfect. We walked to the Oceanside Harbor every night for ice cream (good 'ol Nana's) and also ended up having 3 nice dinners there (gotta love Rocking Baja).
Probably being overly picky giving it four stars, but the mattress in the master bedroom really needs replaced. It's no longer flat. The sides are much lower than the middle which made it somewhat hard to sleep. Also, I'd suggest some nicer pillows. They were hards as rocks.
Net, my complaints are very minor. We would come here again in a heartbeat. And we would likely stay in the same unit. You can't go wrong with this rental!!!
