We had a wonderful stay! The kitchen was well stocked as well as the bathrooms. There were no ceiling fans but they had floor fans as well as ac in each room. The beach access was unparalleled and it was lovely to sit on the patio in the front and back. Parking for three standard cars was a huge bonus!

Great location. There was construction on the street in front of the house for 4 out of 5 mornings. But overall great place to stay. Would stay there if we ever go back to Oceanside.

I think this is our fifth year staying at the pink door house and it’s always perfect. The beach access, the location, the parking and the house itself. It’s the reason we keep coming back!

This property is outstanding but the price was exorbitant. We went for it as a once-in-a-lifetime trip but it’s not something we’ll ever be able to do again.
