Very fun stay in Oceano. Great space for a family and for a dog. It was a bit chilly, so the solo stove, fireplace, & blankets warmed us up after some beach time.
We spent a great week at StrandCastle with our dog Frankie. The location was perfect for us. We were able to travel up and down the coast and return everyday to a clean and quiet beach house. The sunsets were beautiful. We enjoyed every minute of our week away at StrandCastle.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 July 2025
Oh, we love that! We loved hosting you guys. Please come visit again!:)
Wonderfully located, clean, so much room. Only 1 tv for whole house, internet was slow. One price quoted on Vrbo then additional money added. Didn’t want to argue so just paid.
Very enjoyable. Family had a great time. Location is great. The only thing we had a problem with was opening the doors in the evening with the lights on brought in the mosquitos. Now i know that is a seasonal problem but screens on one or two patio doors would help a great deal. Thank you again for the use of your home. Barbara
Upon arrival everything looked exactly like the listing. Great location next to the beach. Everything was clean and organized. The views from the kitchen were beautiful. All the rooms were spacious, comfortable, and clean. The bathrooms were clean and well stocked with towels galore! I loved that every room including the living room had throws/blankets made it very cozy. The only downsides were the couches were leather and not very cozy or comfortable. Also, the TV was pretty small for that space, it was hard to watch comfortably. Other than that we were all very pleased with our stay and we hope to visit again in the future!
