We had the BEST time! Laurie was amazing; she had a welcome gift for the group and for the bride who we were celebrating on this trip. She was available for any questions, the house was ADORABLE, and it was so nice being close to restaurants and coffee shops!

It was absolutely perfect. Laurie made us all feel welcomed and was a great host. We travel once a year as a group to specific destinations and this was all of our favorite trip. Laurie had a lot to do with that and we appreciated all her help.

Family reunion

This was the perfect house for our family reunion. There was plenty of space and lots to do for our three generations. We loved the pool and hot tub—and what a nice touch that the host made pool toys, board games, and bicycles available to us. The house is gorgeous, clean, and well stocked. Everything exceeded our expectations.

Great home for large family

From the moment you walk in you know your going to enjoy your stay. The house is not only beautiful, but much larger than the pictures show. There are many areas to relax in, visit with others and just get "away".The pool area equipped with bar was a great hang out for our family of 8 adults and three children. Bedrooms are large and beds are super comfy in all rooms. Laurie is great to work with and it is obvious she takes great pride in assuring each guest is comfortable. Would definately stay here again

It's a vacation in a house!

This place is specifically curated for comfort and fun. We were there to celebrate our grandmother who once lived in Oceanside and this place let us enjoy the area and each other perfectly. Lots of games, activities, space, hangout areas (inside and out). Awesome views from the many decks and patios. And the hostess was extremely receptive and helpful. You can't help but love this place!

Great stay

We had a great time at this property. There was plenty of space for the kids to run around and the house had everything we needed. The only thing I would change is the bunk beds for kiddos are in a separate house (they ended up sleeping in the larger beds with us). We weren't comfortable with them being that far away from us, but if you had teens it would be fine.

Thanksgiving Break

This has been by far the most smoothest VRBO we have been in. Also this property is perfect in every way. The house was clean and very functional. The kids had an amazing time in the heated pool. Laurie the host met us there, showed us the ropes and was very pleasant. We will definitely be reaching out to continue our Thanksgiving Vacation with Mermaid By The Sea.

Oceanside paradise

We came to Oceanside to spend the long weekend in quarantine with our son who is stationed at Camp Pendleton. This house was awesome! So comfortable for 8 people with plenty more room for guests. The location is perfect and the pool and hot tub was fantastic. We grilled around the pool and played game in front of the outdoor fireplace. Perfect

As always, communication is spot on with property managers going above and beyond expectations whenever problems arrive! Laurie is always kind, friendly, and efficient! House is large enough for big family gatherings to fit easily and comfortably, kitchen is extremely well-appointed, and decorations, especially for the holiday, are perfect. We love this place!!

The perfect place!

This beautiful property is even better in person than it looks in the photos. Sparkling clean, with tons of gorgeous natural light, ocean views, multiple outdoor and indoor sitting areas, comfy and quiet bedrooms, and a stunning kitchen that has everything you could ever need. Our group of 7 adults was comfortable and never crowded. The pool and jacuzzi are divine. You are one block from the ocean, and conveniently located near great restaurants. Laurie was lovely and completely responsive to all our questions and requests. We feel really lucky to have found this beautiful home, and we hope to return!

They thought of everything!!

Can't say enough good things about this house! It truly has everything you would ever need. Beautiful coastal chic decor, bedrooms and space for multiple families. Our teenagers took over the cabana studio and all slept together up in the loft. We enjoyed every outdoor space available including the gorgeous, heated pool and jacuzzi. The garage had bikes, chairs, rafts, games, anything you could need on a beach vacation. We also enjoyed many of the nearby restaurants in So. Oceanside as well as up by the pier. Laurie was awesome in her communication! ITS A 10!!

About the host

Hosted by Laurie

Host profile image
We have lived in Oceanside for over 25 years, we have two children and very much enjoy our life here in southern California. We invite you to our beach home where you to can begin to create new memories and enjoy your beach-life get-Away!

Why they chose this property

This property is totally unique to the beach area because it has a 3 separate units, courtyard, a BBQ, gated yard, and a mosaic tile Mermaid pool and hot tub. It truly is a beautiful and spacious home. The views are spectacular and the beach is just a short walk away.

What makes this property unique

Many families travel as a group and find themselves having to lodge separately, eat out every night and being cooped-up in a small room together for activities. Not here. We can accommodate families of most sizes. This spacious property and layout allows you and your family to enjoy your vacation and time away from home while offering you all the comforts of home.
