MAY 2025 UPDATE!
Upgraded remodel with new, modern bathroom/shower and now with heated tile floors!
Bali-like vibes with an Island feel! A boutique experience is in order as soon as you pass through the gate. You are greeted by the canopy covered seating area with a fountain to relax by. Continue walking towards the backyard and enjoy the enchanting vibe that leads you to your room. The beautiful flat deck will indicate to turn left and veer towards your "grill and chill" area. You can immediately sit and take in the shaded sitting area surrounded by timber and black bamboo! Carry on to the left and you'll discover the entry into your comfy dwelling. A mile as the crow flies to the beach and super close to great resturaunts and bars that will appeal to all pallets. Minutes away from Carlsbad Village, Oceanside Pier and harbor. Great food, craft beer and boundless fun with the ocean, beaches and mountains all within a few minutes reach. A SoCal experiences through and through!

Amazing stay at a very special property

We stayed nearly a week in Oceanside at Kaza Kokos. We rented both bedrooms and everything was fantastic. The rooms are well furnished, very clean and comfortable. Much better than staying at a hotel in my opinion. The Fire Hill neighborhood is a great spot to explore the entire area. Just two minutes to get to the beach and also the highway if heading into San Diego. Very quiet and the outdoor space is a huge bonus as very comfortable, spacious and peaceful to hang out. Perhaps the best part of the entire stay is the host, Chris! His communication was prompt and friendly from the start. He made sure we were clear on the check-in process and even checked up on us a few times during our stay to see if we needed anything at all. Overall, a great place at a great price.

Fantastic and Private Stay

We absolutely loved our stay! Everything we could possibly have needed was there including bikes for us to explore the city (way less expensive than renting bikes from a company). The patio was brilliant and exactly what we were looking for. IF we come back to Oceanside, we will absolutely be staying here again.

Relaxing stay near the ocean with a top-flight host!

Owner Chris Kokotos offers a relaxed and serene experience at his Kaza Kokos rental property in Oceanside, CA. Chris is the consummate host. A day before arrival, I received a text from Chris welcoming our family to his home and asking when we were planning to arrive so that he could make sure to greet us to show us around. Chris made himself available throughout our stay and even though the rental property is the back-side of his home with a shared walkway from the driveway to the rental rooms, Chris never violated our privacy on us or made us feel anything but welcomed. A note on the property itself - the rental space is almost equal size bedrooms and outdoor space. The outdoor space is warm and welcoming and display Chris' personal East Asian sensibility and tastes. Great shade covering and comfortable seating adorn the spacious back area designated for our use. The sleeping rooms and bathroom are well furnished, the beds comfortable with amenities and lots of outlets to plug and charge devices. The kitchenette off the bathroom is small but functional. If you come expecting to cook a large meal however, the kitchenette probably won't be sufficient, but the sink, fridge and microwave (along with a variety of spices!) were more than adequate for our family's needs. The property itself sits up on the hillside overlooking the ocean and the town. One drawback is that access to the main town center of Oceanside is a short drive (or bike ride) away rather than a walk. Nonetheless, the house is in a very nice neighborhood and we enjoyed the feeling of being part of a community while we stayed here. San Diego is a 25-30 minute drive down I-5 - far enough that you will want to plan your visits into San Diego accordingly. We enjoyed having the distance while retaining the option to visit San Diego's many fine restaurants, breweries, beaches and the Zoo. Overall, a great experience.

AMAZING!

Chris was an AMAZING host. He was there when I arrived and even took me to the local store (which was like a family-owned Whole Foods) to get some food after a long flight. The room itself was clean and cozy. The pictures don't do it justice. The patio is super detail oriented, HUGE and relaxing! There's so much greenery and sunlight and cozy places to sit and relax. It's especially great for morning coffee in the sun with the birds. At one point, my grocery bags were delivered by the fence and it started raining, so Chris moved them under cover for me. The location itself is 1 mile from the beach and an adorable beachfront cafe. I loved walking there every morning and taking in the sights, knowing at the end of my walk, the cafe and ocean would be right there waiting for me! There are plenty of sidewalks so the walk is safe. You will NOT find a more hospitable place to stay, and you can't beat the price. I will be back! Thanks, Chris!
