We had an amazing stay. The layout of the home was perfect. The different seating areas on the decks was so smart… some covered, part not. The location couldn’t have been any better. How can you beat staying Oceanside… waking up and within one minute walking onto the beach. So perfect!

The beach view is unobstructed and spectacular! The house is very clean, beds are comfortable. Well stocked kitchen and lovely deck. The only suggestion I might make in the spirit of helpfulness is better sheets and towels. Otherwise, we would love to stay here again, a wonderful beachfront home.

We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the unobstructed beach view and found the house clean and comfortable.

Great location !

This property is a recently updated house located on West Beach Boulevard, right on the beach. The property was very clean and modern, and was very quiet. We had a small issue with hot water when we arrived, but the manager was very responsive and the situation was handled quickly. Very nice stay!

Beautiful property

Very clean and well appointed home just steps to the beach. Bed was comfortable with very nice linens and pillows. Kitchen had most everything a family might need for preparing meals. Very happy with our visit here! One thing that might be helpful would be a personalized directory of nearby restaurants and things to do, though Google helped us in that regard. Check in and check out was seamless. Would stay here again in the future.
