Great place close to beach !
Great space, perfect for two people. The train wasn’t loud at all and never woke us up in the night so don’t let that discourage you from booking this place! Nice gated courtyard area and easy laundry machines that accept card. I thought the price was great for a spot two blocks away from the beach. Roughly a 25 minute walk to downtown/Oceanside Pier which was perfect for walking off dinners! I definitely recommend this place for a couple:) Thanks Justin for having us!

Perfect beach stay
We loved our stay at Justin’s condo, my favorite part was the back patio area, it was also so convenient to have a full kitchen. The place was lovely, clean and quiet. Having the garage to park in was an added bonus. We will definitely be back, thanks you!

Oceanside Work & Play Stay
The King suite is in a very convenient location close to shops, restaurants and the beach. The train that runs behind the property really wasn't much of a nuisance. I would not recommend the property for more than a couple due to the rock hard futon that a third person will need to sleep on. The King suite is priced for a lower budget and it was satisfactory. Justin really tried to make things right that had the stay starting off poorly. I appreciate his effort to resolve the issues.
