Our second summer here and loved it just as much!

Ray is great and check in is so easy. Ray is quick to respond and we just love this place. The front area with the hot tubs and the beach right across the street is our favorite! Grilling out front and enjoying the view is the best. We love Oceanside and will book here again next summer!

Great Central Location

The property is nicely located for quick trips to Carlsbad, San Diego and Cornado Island. The ocean view from the balcony was enjoyable and far enough away from The Strand that it was relatively quiet.

Hard to beat

I recently stayed at the Beachfront Cottage and was thoroughly impressed by the fantastic value for the location. The view is hard to beat, offering a picturesque backdrop that made my stay even more enjoyable. It's an easy walk to downtown restaurants, and I highly recommend not missing the Oceanside Sunset Market on Thursday nights—it's a local gem!One of the highlights was sitting at a fire table right on the Strand, which added a cozy and unique touch to the experience. While the place is a bit aged and the amenities are on the minimalist side, they are appropriate for the price. Overall, a great stay with plenty of charm and convenience.

Wave surround sound the best!

It was the perfect location to let the sound of the ocean drown out the stress. The establishment has a significant amount of its original architectural charm which is refreshing for this area.

Amazing Oceanfront property!

We had a wonderful time watching the waves from the upper balcony and always had a view! The hosts were exceptional and took great care of all of our needs. We loved it so much that we added 2 additional days to our trip and the hosts worked with us to do that. An amazing time, close to shopping, food and the water! Wish we could have stayed even longer! Thanks Jen and Ray for an incredible week!

Beach house

Great little house on the beach to stay in. Nice to have a great view and nobody to block you. The house floorplan is a little quirky, but very comfortable. Terrific. beds in both rooms. Ray is a terrific host. He actually drove us to a restaurant he thought we would love and we did. We plan on rebooking again.

Solid choice

The location is why you are there. The upstairs unit view is why you are there. So manage your expectations and enjoy the relatively lower rental cost. Ray communicates immediately and there were no surprises.

Winner

You can’t beat the location at the end of the Strand. While this is not a luxury unit, it had everything we needed. Beds were comfy, a/c did the trick, and everything except the golf cart worked. New towels were a plus and at least Bellagio standard room hotel quality—very soft. It felt like home for a few days. The host was friendly and quick to respond to our only call. We’d definitely start here if coming back to Oceanside. The only downers were a dirty hot tub (could have been the dirty guests in the lower unit) and a horde of ants on the deck after a piece of food fell under the table.

A Lot of Fun

I usually stay at a nearby timeshare that gets rented out by the owners, but chose this place instead. Very glad I did. Communication was excellent with the owner/management. Waking up and propping myself up in bed and watching the ocean through the front siding glass door was incredible. Plus it has a front porch that we ate several breakfasts and meals. I was happy we stayed here and hope to go back soon. The only issue is that the water heater went out on Sunday afternoon, but it was turned back on early Monday morning. Still a great place.

Perfect

This location was perfect for enjoying the ocean every second. We ate our meals on the balcony and just soaked it all in. It rained during our stay but with the door open and the views from the large windows we didn’t miss out on ocean time. The unit is older but has been well kept. It is a short walk to shops, restaurants and a little store. I will definitely stay in this unit in the future. Ray and Jennifer were extremely helpful and quick to answer any questions.

Perfect view and relaxing spot

The host, Ray, is absolutely amazing. So friendly, communicative and just wanted us to have a relaxing time with our family. The place was perfect for our family. Right on the strand with easy beach access for my whole family. Boogie boards were a huge hit for my 2 teenage sons and our 9 year old. The hot tub was so amazing to jump into after spending the day at the beach. Watching the waves, surfers, and sailboats pass by was so relaxing to watch on our giant patio. We grilled on the outdoor grill with our family and just had an amazing time. Portable a/c kept the place nice and cool during the warm part of the day in July and we slept so well on the comfy beds. Thank you, Ray, for an amazing trip filled with many family memories. We will be back next year for sure!
