Had a great time

The house location was excellent. It was right on the beach. There were a lot of restaurants nearby as well. However, the house and furnishings left a lot to be desired. The furniture was old. The bed was old, lumpy, and not the most comfortable. I read an old review that noted a broken window in one of the bedrooms. I had assumed that the window would have been fixed. However, the window remained broken and held together with tape. I felt the price I paid for the property was not worth it. They charged for a 5 star property and I got a 3 star property instead.

Great home to getaway. Right in front of the beach with access to the water depending on the tide. You can hear the waves from the entire house it's wonderful!

Our family of five (two adult daughters plus teenage daughter) stayed here for eight nights in late July. The property looked just like it does in the photos: beachy, breezy, clean, with beautiful ocean views. The management was in touch with us before the trip, offering us additional nights as they came became available. They were also very communicative regarding some packages I had sent to the office before our arrival, and easily accessible for the minor maintenance issues that arose during our stay. Luckily, we had done some research before the trip, and having been to this area of Oceanside numerous times before, we knew that having actual beachfront was iffy, due to erosion control. We knew ahead of time there might not be much beach, and we were right. Although we couldn't simply walk down the stairs and spread out a blanket and hang out at the beach for hours, we could still work with the tides to get some swimming, fishing and boogie boarding in. The stairs down to the beach were broken off (or the ground beneath them had eroded away) and were a little precarious to maneuver. With the use of the surrounding boulders, it was doable (but not recommended for anyone older or not so agile). However, it was only a short walk (streetside) to get to a more accessible, family friendly, walkable beach. The neighborhood itself seemed friendly and safe, and provided ample opportunity for walking or bicycling to the pier and into downtown Oceanside. The only other downside, besides beach accessibility, is the lack of counter space in the bathrooms, both of which only have pedestal sinks. (But again, we knew that ahead of time from the photos.) And the living room furniture wasn't super comfortable, but we really only sat in there to watch Olympic gymnastics in the wee hours of the mornings. Other than those minor details, the home suited our family perfectly, with plenty of room for us and our dog to spread out. The shared yard was OK, depending on who the neighbors were. We had three different groups there during our stay and all but one was barely noticeable. Having stayed in numerous beach rentals during the past 20 years, we've yet to find the PERFECT spot. We've learned to enjoy the good and roll with the not so good. Our family had a really nice time and made some great memories, so that alone is worth every dollar to us. Side note: I would recommend bringing an extension cord, power strip and fans.

Beachfront Only rental agency provided excellent communication, and PERFECT, independent check-in. Exceptionally clean, and well-equipped. Beds, pillows and linens were comfortable. There is ABSOLUTELY no beach. Stay here if you enjoy a seaview. Don’t even think of entering the water, or walk along the beach. There is no beach. PERIOD. The TVs have limited free programming, since no cable or dish—streaming only. If you subscribe to Netflix/Hulu/Prime,etc, use your own account to access what you wish. Not much of anything at all in Oceanside and only a couple of restaurants. Went to Delmar for a great meal at the Poseidon. Boutique shops are in Encinitas or Carlsbad. Every time I’ve been to this area, it’s June gloom from morning till night. Once again, five days out of six, no sun, overcast and gloomy, even though we stayed August 15-21. Enjoyed the stay nonetheless because the unit was spacious and comfortable, affordable, and hey, the sound of the relentless surf was enchantingly mesmerizing!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Issues with the dishwasher all week. No garbage disposal. On vacation, yet hand washing dishes and fishing food out of the sink.

We loved everything about it. Only one suggestion which is to make sure potential visitors know it is oceanfront not really beach front. It's a beautiful rocky shoreline but you cannot directly access the beach. However it's only a short walk and should not deter anyone from renting. Just better for people to know in advance. We will definitely rent again!!

We loved the views from the balcony. The place is nice and clean if a bit old. Worked well for my family. I do wish they would give some attention to the outside area. Could use some more sand. It’s a great outdoor space but could be nicer. The coastline has changed over last few years and now the steps don’t reach all the way down to the beach. You can get there by climbing down on rocks, but could be hard for some. It depends on tide schedule if you have any beach, but there was plenty for us during low tide. Overall a very nice stay, liked that we could bring our dog.

The bedrooms are quite hot without air conditioning and due to the bedroom windows being over the street, it gets quite noisy. The property's location is perfect, walk less than a block down to Oceanside Blvd to enter the beach. Check in was a breeze. We did have a nice vacation.

The kitchen was well stocked with supplies.The two windows in the master bedroom had big cracks that were taped. The property had one BBQ grill and not two. The neighbors used the outside patio furniture. BeachFront tells me repeatedly to lock the spa, however it can't be locked. The garage key pad didn't work. After I called BeachFront, it was fixed. The spa was not cleaned. When I called BeachFront and got a little emotional, it was also fixed. I feel like I didn't get to rest and relax. I expected to have the parking space in the garage, a clean spa, and a BBQ present on the deck like the video shows.

The sound of the ocean day and night is more than enough to rate this place 5 stars.

The property was nice and clean on arrival. There were plenty of towels, beach towels, and linens for our family of 5 for two nights. The beach front is a nice swim location during low tide. The hot tub was a nice feature the kids enjoyed after time in the ocean. Would rent again. thank you.

This was such a nice place to stay. Great location, clean and nothing bad to say. Will be back!

This was the best beach house stay ever! It was very clean and had everything you need to cook. I loved that they also added an ice machine. I will DEFINITELY be renting here again! We actually rented an extra night we loved it so much!

You can’t beat the view and sunsets! The house was beautiful inside with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Nice open floor plan. Loved all the moonstones on the beach!

The location was beautiful!! The house was great. The refrigerator did not work, it was a hassle but it was replaced. We would recommend and return!!!

Great place! Quiet, comfy, and great view! Will be coming back for sure!

Great place to get away, very peaceful. Would definitely rent again.

Clean, organized, equipped with all we needed. Would love to return.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall our rental was great during our February stay. Lovely views and sounds of the ocean, but unfortunately, not a lot of room to play in the sand as it is too close to the rocks with the high tide. Our kids were a little bored due to that. It was still nice to sit outside and enjoy the weather and the view. The nicer sandy beaches were not too far to drive to. At the rental, it felt clean, safe, and we felt at home. We were surprised that only one of the bedrooms had a TV in it. We had the room without one and since we shared with our kids, it would've been nice to have that addition for convenience. The living room smart TV only had HULU as a signed-in guest account. We felt limited with what we could watch. I guess we could've signed in with our accounts on other services, but chose not to. Also, not enough outlets in the bedroom we were in to charge our devices. There was a lamp next to our bed that we couldn't even use because there was no plug for it. My parents were in the other room and they complained that the bed and floor were quite noisy. Luckily, we didn't hear it. We were more surprised at how much we could hear people right outside the rental just walking by. We woke up a few times due to that (bedrooms face the street). Beds and pillows were comfortable. Nighttime got pretty chilly. There were a few places within walking distance to grab a bite/groceries, but not enough, so we ordered in a few times. Indoor dining was still closed for almost all restaurants due to Covid. The hot tub was a fun addition that we used quite a bit. The one-car garage is for a small car only. Parking on the street was a little tricky at times. We were really hoping to go to Legoland but were disappointed that it still wasn't open during our stay. Although we got a little bored (due to Covid restrictions) while we stayed here, the place was nice and convenient with great views of the ocean. I'd recommend my friends to stay here.

We absolutely love this time of year in Oceanside. We literally feel like it our home—it meets our needs and we love listening to the surf pounding each day outside of our patio door.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our 5 days at the rental, the location and view were fantastic! The management company BeachFront Only did a great job, in fact we had an Internet issue upon arrival and William handled it within 20 minutes. However, we do not think the caliber of the rental unit was commensurate with the price. We expected more inviting accommodations. From the crooked and pieced together kitchen cabinets to the Motel 6 reminiscent bathrooms it is obvious the management company is dealing with an owner pinching every penny possible from the building. The electronic front door lock was quirky and wasted time trying to lock it and invoke the special code upon checkout. Large vehicles, such as our Yukon, do not fit in the garage provided. The master bathroom had the smallest vanity and sink top we have ever seen with no shelves for toiletries. There is only one spare blanket on site for a unit advertised to sleep 6 so bring extras, the blankets on the beds are really thin, and the gas wall heaters are noisy and better left off at night. The bedrooms are equipped with cracked and discolored east facing windows so it is difficult to see the street. The outside spa was a nice touch, however, the rim is cracked and old and the spa had a layer of sand at the bottom to welcome our feet. (We know, we're at the beach, but thought it would be cleaned before we arrived.) Lastly, the master bedroom bed was the worst we’ve ever experienced. It was so hard and uncomfortable we could barely walk the last day. Overall the caliber of the rental was disappointing. However, the location and view are outstanding as was the management company. Our stay was during Christmas 2020, also during Covid pandemic, so activities were limited, beautiful walk around the Harbor!
