Beach getaway

The location was perfect for our needs. Owners have been doing a lot of upgrades apparently. Beds were comfy, linens were lovely and lots of towels and beach towels. The kitchen was not equipped for anything but the simplest cooking yet. But when we called our hostess to report that I was cooking soup for dinner on our night of arrival and there was only one single bowl to eat from, she dropped everything and delivered 8 soup bowls immediately. I would be happy to rent this unit again! Thank you!

Owner has terrible business ethics. Checked out early!

We were scheduled to stay 7 nights in this shared unit. Upon arrival after 3 pm as requested the owner was onsite doing some landscaping, he promptly left but also left behind his mess. The unit overall was clean but left a lot to be desired considering the price point. New guests arrived for the upper unit nearly 40 minutes early, the cleaning lady let them know the unit was not available until 3 pm. They continued to take over the property 45 minutes early, they had 9 people show up and half of them using the hot tub prior to check in time. We were later informed by one of the guests that their buddy owned the property. In reality only 4 of the 9 people had actually rented the unit. The non-guests stayed until dark and were back again at 8 am the following morning. It was completely rude and disrespectful of the owners' friends to be so disruptive of other guests as well as check in times. The upper unit checked out and no cleaning crew arrived that afternoon, giving us the impression there were no new guests checking into the upper unit that day, however the owner did arrive and just appeared to be hanging out while he had the lower unit still occupied. later unknown people were sent by the owner to close the doors he had left open and take out the trash, those people arrived at 8 pm and jumped in the hot tub we had just finished using. then a cleaning crew arrived at 5 am on day 3 of our stay, we checked out on day 3 of 7 of random people being on property at all hours.

Not Worth The Cost

The location is awesome. The unit is old and not kept up to what I would consider a VRBO standard. Portable A/C units did not work and first night was terribly hot. Eventually they came to replace a/c units but then had power issue's. Ended up with extension cords running through out to get A/C and keep power on. I messaged owner over a week prior to arrival to ensure Hot Tub was operational. I was assured it was. Well, it was not and never worked for entire stay. Owner had someone try to fix, but was unsuccessful. The units are a bit out dated and needs some serious TLC, which would involve an investment. The cost for the rental is not in line with others in the same area. This unit should rent for half of what owner has listed. I will say, owner was responsive to all issues encountered, but i felt it was just constant band-aid fixes. Eventually owner agreed to provide a 10% refund for the inconveniences we encountered. Nice gesture, but I feel 25-50% would have been more in line, based on the issues and condition of the units. I feel the listing on Venmo for this rental, does not truly represent what you actually get. Again. Amazing location.

Awesome Place, Amazing View & Perfect location!!

We absolutely loved our stay in Oceanside! The place was clean and had everything we needed for a 4 night stay. Our favorite part was hanging out by the fire pit and watching all the action on the Strand and watching the sunset behind the pier. The location for us was perfect. We walked pretty much the entire time we were there. Ray was an amazing host and made sure we had everything we needed and was super responsive getting back to me if I had a question. We loved our stay and will definitely stay again the next time we are in Oceanside!

Location cannot be beat

The photos of the property are an accurate representation of the property in person and were exactly what we were looking for. It is close enough to the pier and main street to walk to places to eat, etc. There is a lot of people watching at the street in front of the property bustles with activity on the weekend. The hot tub was not functioning properly when we were there. The property manager had a service person come to attempt to repair it but they couldn't. After some back and forth about it, we agreed on a partial refund for the lack of a useable hot tub. Aside from that, everything else was in order. We very much enjoyed the sitting area that was near the street to watch the people, waves, and sunset.

Great location

Overall it was a great weekend. However, the hot tub did not function and was not fixed before we left. That was the main reason we chose this property. The owner did communicate and said he placed a maintenance request. There was also a door that did not lock and having children was a concern. The inside looked as if it was unfinished in spots. The price was to high for the issues we noticed.
