Great little condo, short walk to restaurants, coffee, and the beach. Not as loud as staying on the strand. Very comfy bedrooms. Kitchen/living area is small but worked great for us. We also brought our 7# dog and the backyard was perfect for her. Excellent communication from Warren!

The property is very comfortable and helped make our visit very enjoyable. The only issue we would pass on is that there was not much hot water on the shower - it was warm at best.

Great Location, Host and Amenities

Warren was communicative and responsive as host, and clearly maintains his well equipped property to a high standard. Location is only a few minutes walk from a couple small beaches and park. Easy highway access a few minutes inland. The small private patio was very nice. Our small dog was a welcome as we were. Would definitely stay again.

Amazing stay for a beach vacation

My husband and I stayed here after our wedding, and it was the best location for a low-key, relaxing beach vacation. We walked everywhere we needed to go, and we got the beach time we were looking for. There were so many restaurants and cafes nearby. Warren was very proactive and responsive in regards to communication. Excellent host!

South Oceanside getaway

Very convenient location to some great local restaurants and coffee shops. Also, it’s a very short walk to the shore and to Bucc’s coffee and Buccaneer Park. The bedrooms are comfortable and each has its own door to the private backyard. The garage access is a plus. This is a great “home away from home”. We will definitely consider this property if we are in the area again. The host was very responsive and accommodating.
