Our family celebrated our daughters 12th birthday at this awesome property and it could not have been more perfect. There is a “suite” with bunk beds, bathroom, game table and more beds that the kids really enjoyed. The kitchen and living area are huge with views of the ocean. You can walk across the little street to a sand beach. We played a lot of Bach games then came back to bbq and cook s’mores. No complaints at all! Again, we live in Encinitas and this place felt like we flew to Hawaii for the weekend!

Would definitely return!

Anything you find on the inside of this property is simply bonus compared to sitting on the deck and watching the sea and the sunsets. So very peaceful. Inside is definitely nice. Could use a few minor repairs but nothing that distracted from the trip or caused an issue. Would definitely stay again. Lots of restaurants nearby. Though we opted to grill on the deck to enjoy the view.

Would definitely return!

The bottom line: Do not stay here, or in any Beachfront Only property. Take a few minutes to research Beachfront Only Vacation Rentals, including the Better Business Bureau. I wish I had done this before I booked. They have a shameful reputation with renters and in the communities where they do business. Sure, the view is glorious. But it isn’t a great view with random strangers walking around your yard. You will have no privacy. The yard is shared with the upstairs neighbors and anyone that Beachfront Only sends to the property without warning. When we arrived the yard was not as pictured. It was covered in artificial turf while we were there, which did not offset the disruption and total lack of privacy of living in a construction zone. We just wanted our dog’s feet to not get tangled in weeds every time he went outside. Had I known that asking for weeds to be pulled would spark a construction project, I would have just spent an hour and pulled them all myself. They also added a fence that entirely blocks beach access. Had we known that the beach access promised in the property listing was not true, we would not have chosen this property. 1. No beach access, despite that the posting explicitly reads “BEACH ACCESS: 11-15 steps” 2. Strips of scotch tape with human hair stuck in it on the master bedroom wall. I ended up scratching this off the wall myself after asking 3 times to have it cleaned. Revolting. 3. Something dark brown smashed into living room rug. 4. Red stains on 2nd bedroom pillowcase. 5. Huge crusty yellow stain on living room throw pillow, along with other smaller stains 6. Window shades are filthy and one with red stains. 7. 2nd bedroom ceiling was crumbling and that bathroom sink takes hours to drain. 8. The yard “update” was left unfinished with large potted plants never returned to a proper position, a huge pot dirt and garbage left by the firepit along with an upended yard post in an orange pail. 9. No screens on 3 out of 4 beach facing windows. The only way to let the ocean air in is to open the door, which also brings in the bugs and lets out your pets or toddlers. 10. Filthy outdoor sofa. I wouldn’t even let my dog sit on it. 11. Artificial trees and plants are literally dripping with dust. 12. Garage was too small for my Cherokee. I got a citation for blocking street cleaning. The signs for street cleaning schedules are not posted near the unit. 13. And to top it all off, we had ants.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I highly recommend this vacation rental! It is beautifully decorated and it had everything we needed to feel right at home. The location is perfect and you can’t beat the views! In the morning sitting outside by the fire pit, a pod of dolphins swam by just a few feet from the shore. It was the perfect way to start the day! I would rent this unit again next time I come back to Oceanside.

Our family really enjoyed our week getaway in Oceanside at this beachfront property. The pictures are close to accurate but the salt, sand, water has done a number on the property (expected with being so close to the ocean). We loved being able to bring the dogs and walking to the pier and restaurants. We had a great time! FYI - Gardeners come on Tuesday mornings (early). And bottom unit has only one off street parking space.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at this property for a little staycation getaway. Upon arriving, it was easy to access the front door and garage. The first thing I noticed was the left side of the property (we stayed on the bottom floor) had overgrown grass and weeds so it was hard to sit and lay out blankets in that area. It was aesthetically unpleasant to look at considering the backyard had this amazing view of the ocean. For the money we paid, we expected it to be a bit more upkeep in appearances (or at least similar to the photos advertised online). Inside the property was spacious and roomy. Plenty of room for our family. The decor was modern and matched to the theme of the ocean. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our own meals. One of the remotes and tv inside one of the rooms was not working. I called the management company and they responded right away with new batteries and a new HDMI cord to replace it. They also had a landscaper come to the yard the following day to cut the grass! I can’t speak enough about their customer satisfaction, they definitely deserve a 10 out of 10! There are a few areas which seems a bit outdated and the patio balcony could use a fresh set of paint but it wasn’t a big deal. The awesome part of the patio was the little bird nest with baby chicks inside. It was so neat to see and hear them chirping for food while mama bird flies to and from her nest to feed them. Can’t blame them for building a nest there. After all, who wouldn’t want to live by the ocean?! I must say the backyard is stunning with plenty of space for the kids to run around and maintain a good distance from the house. We were still able to keep an eye out and still give them their privacy. The best part was the cement stairs leading down to the beach. It was easy access to get to and from the property to the beach. We were literally steps away from the water. The property also has a firepit in the backyard, great for s’mores! We can&#x

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful house, wonderful location. Would absolutely stay here again. I will say the steps to the water have a bit of a drop off so slippery rock climbing is needed for last 2-3 steps. And tide is often too high, but early AM walks on the beach are a possibility. It’s 1 mile from the pier, that’s nice. And one of the bathrooms is 1/2 painted. The company is super professional and quick to respond. I will only stay with this company.

Absolutely a wonderful location. the property is roomy and easy access from the street level. There were a few minor issues that were quickly addressed by Beachfront manager. The two main issues that could make this property better are - 1. The patio furniture was not in good condition and we noted it needed to be repaired/replaced. 2. the Microwave over the stove did not work. (we did find a small microwave on the top shelf of the pantry on day 2) it would have been nice to know at the beginning.

Great time

Great location with an amazing view!

My daughter woke up to a waterfall coming through the ceiling which we didn't appreciate when (after taxes and fees) we spent $1k per night. Also the trash can where you have to touch to open it was dirty so we felt gross using it. The backyard had confetti, trash, and weeds scattered everywhere and they need to dump more sand to match the photo but with a little sprucing up it'll be great 👍. Oh also, lots of sand was in our sheets (yuck) when we arrived.

Perfect Oceanside place to stay. The sun sets right in front of your eyes.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was perfect! We had beautiful sunsets and could see dolphins playing in the water while having breakfast. We loved that we could walk down to the sand when the tide was low. Diane at the front desk was super helpful and professional. 5 stars! That being said, the bathrooms, though clean, could use some updating. Also, would have been wonderful with a hot tub! If you have kids, bring some board games as none were provided. Plus, don't forget the ear plugs as the homes are a block away from the train tracks.

The only problem we had was there was a persistent odor that would not dissipate. Even with that it was a very nice place.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a fantastic location. We stay-cationed here for my daughter's bday and loved that it was off the end of the strip by the pier, but close enough to walk to everything. My main gripe here is that for the amount of money we paid to stay, this place really needs some renovating to make it worthwhile. All the tile is old and there is peeling paint in places, etc. The twin sinks in our bathroom didn't even have matching sink fixtures. With a little love, this place would be perfect. Also, I think there was a dead mouse in the kitchen somewhere because there was a gross smell coming from one of the cabinets.

The only challenge is that the stairs to the beach were broken/washed away which made it dangerous to get to the beach.
