Ray is great and check in is so easy. Ray is quick to respond and we just love this place. The front area with the hot tubs and the beach right across the street is our favorite! Grilling out front and enjoying the view is the best. We love Oceanside and will book here again next summer!

Beautiful View, Quiet Area

Had a lovely stay overnight in the area to enjoy the local cuisine with friends and relax. We had a few small hiccups upon arrival, but it was easily overcome. We were able to relax and enjoy the view. Check-in and check-out was easy and fit our time schedule nicely.

Hard to beat

I recently stayed at the Beachfront Cottage and was thoroughly impressed by the fantastic value for the location. The view is hard to beat, offering a picturesque backdrop that made my stay even more enjoyable. It's an easy walk to downtown restaurants, and I highly recommend not missing the Oceanside Sunset Market on Thursday nights—it's a local gem!One of the highlights was sitting at a fire table right on the Strand, which added a cozy and unique touch to the experience. While the place is a bit aged and the amenities are on the minimalist side, they are appropriate for the price. Overall, a great stay with plenty of charm and convenience.

Great Central Location

The property is nicely located for quick trips to Carlsbad, San Diego and Cornado Island. The ocean view from the balcony was enjoyable and far enough away from The Strand that it was relatively quiet.

Ocean view

The best part of the place was the ocean front view. The place is more run down than pictures show. Kitchen was not fully stocked with cooking items and cups/coffee mugs/wine glasses. The guest bedroom was very warm and muggy with just fans to use. There was no screen on sliding glass door to allow us to open the slider at night for fresh air into the bedroom. The owner/manager was very responsive to our requests for items needed during our stay. Very easy to communicate with. You’re paying for the view and access to the ocean.

Winner

You can’t beat the location at the end of the Strand. While this is not a luxury unit, it had everything we needed. Beds were comfy, a/c did the trick, and everything except the golf cart worked. New towels were a plus and at least Bellagio standard room hotel quality—very soft. It felt like home for a few days. The host was friendly and quick to respond to our only call. We’d definitely start here if coming back to Oceanside. The only downers were a dirty hot tub (could have been the dirty guests in the lower unit) and a horde of ants on the deck after a piece of food fell under the table.

Perfect view and relaxing spot

The host, Ray, is absolutely amazing. So friendly, communicative and just wanted us to have a relaxing time with our family. The place was perfect for our family. Right on the strand with easy beach access for my whole family. Boogie boards were a huge hit for my 2 teenage sons and our 9 year old. The hot tub was so amazing to jump into after spending the day at the beach. Watching the waves, surfers, and sailboats pass by was so relaxing to watch on our giant patio. We grilled on the outdoor grill with our family and just had an amazing time. Portable a/c kept the place nice and cool during the warm part of the day in July and we slept so well on the comfy beds. Thank you, Ray, for an amazing trip filled with many family memories. We will be back next year for sure!

A Lot of Fun

I usually stay at a nearby timeshare that gets rented out by the owners, but chose this place instead. Very glad I did. Communication was excellent with the owner/management. Waking up and propping myself up in bed and watching the ocean through the front siding glass door was incredible. Plus it has a front porch that we ate several breakfasts and meals. I was happy we stayed here and hope to go back soon. The only issue is that the water heater went out on Sunday afternoon, but it was turned back on early Monday morning. Still a great place.

Worst stay !!!!!

Total the worst stay Ac unit not working! No internet! Ants all over the place the place is not kept up at all the host will not answer you at all doesn’t care he owns a grocery store around the corner. If something doesn’t work, he rather bring you beer or something. This place should be shut down he should not be renting it out. I am looking for some type of compensation. If you’re looking for a place to stay, do not stay here. Oh another one. The hot tub was not working since our stay called the owner he brought some guy out. They did not know what the hell he was doing kept coming and going this guy is truly a slum landlord, he keeps saying he wants to keep it California style also said that he should tear down pictures. Do not look like the place at all so if you’re looking for a nice place to stay, I wouldn’t stay here.
