Wonderful! Cute house right at the water. Place was updated, clean and well equipped. Just be aware there is not on site parking. You will have to park above on the street, coming up and down stairs (You can load/unload at the house). This was a bit of an inconvenience. Would I stay here again? Absolutely!

Perfect

Everything about this place was perfect for us. We have a seven month old puppy and she loved meeting all the people and dogs as they walked by out on the patio. It was a perfect size for us. The neighborhood was great and the proximity to the ocean was wonderful. We will definitely stay here again.

Perfect beachside getaway!

This was a perfect spot for our family and our dog! Super clean, comfortable, and baby safe. Million dollar view just steps from the ocean. Walking distance to our favorite taco shop! We will definitely be back again!

Quick trip

Beautiful property you won’t be disappointed with the amazing view that it offers. The amenities offered are more than enough to enjoy yourself as they provide a lot. We didn’t really do much in the area just took in the view and relaxed but well worth the trip. Most definitely will book again and recommend.

Wow

The view was amazing. Loved the patio especially. You can even watch and hear the ocean from the living room. I loved that they allowed pets so my dog could join us. Many other guests at the other units had pets so it made a nice little community. Place was clean, seemed newly remodeled. Property manager was very responsive to any questions/requests. It was a great location for walking and to restaurants. I would highly recommend this location.

Great Place, perfect location, easy access to beach

Really enjoyed our stay. Perfect location, extremely easy access to beach, and very relaxing. My only objection is the patio is right off the beach and the constant traffic during the day was a lot, but night time was quiet. I also wish there were a broom and mop so we could clean floors as the beach brings lots of water and sand in house. Even though there is no AC the beach brings in cool air, plus the host has fans. I also love they have beach accessories as well. Will definitely be back!

This beach house was beautiful & VERY clean! We were happy with everything it included! The outside patio area was our favorite place to be & being steps away from the ocean was such an amazing experience! However, be aware, it is a very tiny place making it challenging to maneuver around & feel very tight. A few other negatives: the sleeping arrangements are not what is listed. The room has a queen bed not a king, which we were looking forward to. The couch does extend, but I wouldn’t considered it a double sofa bed. (Would be fine for children but not adults) One of the biggest thing for us is we were so excited to bring our dog to experience his first time in the ocean & were very excited this place allowed pets. However, after we were told by friends to make sure Oceanside is dog friendly, we quickly found out it is not. Dogs can be on The Strand but are not allowed near the water. We were devastated & wished the listing stated this because we had to then find a dog sitter & keep him home. The other huge thing that was confusing was the unloading/loading area. We thought we had to unload in the parking area next to the house (which we got told by an occupant we couldn’t use when arriving) But then when someone came to change out the linens, they opened up the gate completely & we then realized you can unload & load in the area of the property. So we wished that was instructed better. Despite all the problems, it was an amazing place & we can’t wait to go back! Thank you!
