The place was everything and more! Amazing location, nicely furnished, lots of room, very clean! About 3/4 of a mile from the pier was perfect. Close enough to the hustle and bustle but far enough that it was quiet. Steps to the beach! Kitchen was well-equipped with dishes, silverware and appliances. There are a few very minor cons: 1. 4pm check in is a little late. I requested an hour earlier check in twice and the response was 'not at this time'. The cleaning crew showed up and were waiting promptly at 10am. I would think a 3pm check in would be attainable if the cleaning crew had 5 hours. If nothing else, a favorable response offers some good will with no real effort.2. Quality bathroom supplies would have been nice. The shampoo, body wash and soap were from a dollar store.3. There are two coffee makers and a Keurig but no coffee which was a bummer. Otherwise it was great. I would definitely recommend staying there.

We really enjoyed our stay. The location of this condo is perfect. Literal steps to the beach. And Oceanside is a quaint little beach town and we’ll keep coming back here instead of busy San Diego proper. The train station is close (very walkable) as well. We stayed with 7 adults and had plenty of space. It’s nice to have a covered parking garage and they had all the beach amenities so we didn’t have to pack anything in that way! Happy to stay her again. Would highly recommend.

A Month On The Strand.

The property was everything the listing said it was. Waking up to the sound of waves was wonderful. We saw daily surfers and occasional pods of dolphins from the balcony. There was nothing missing in the kitchen which was well appointed with everything from baking pans to electric hand mixers.

The property is right on the strand. There is a small road between you and the beach. There are two parking spaces in a garage below the building. The garage is gated. There are really two master suites. One is towards the back. It has a king bed and en suite bathroom. There is a small fridge and microwave. There's access to a private patio (non-ocean facing). The other master has 2Q and has a sitting area. Sliding doors open to the ocean. It has a large bathroom with tub and a shower. The living room also opens to the ocean. This was a great property for our family. We spent a lot of time in San Diego, so we only explored Seaside a little. We did watch surfers and dolphins daily from our patio. This property would be ideal for a family who wanted to watch the water with lots of great resteraunts nearby or a family who wanted to surf or play in the ocean everyday. It is a little rocky for small children directly across from the condo. A quick walk towards the pier will put you in a sandier area for little ones. We would absolutrly rent again.

Great family vacation spot!

Great people watching and sounds of the waves! Water pressure in the master bedroom was not the greatest but it did its job :) The other showers were just fine. They had everything you needed to enjoy the beach! Umbrellas, beach chairs, beach towels, coolers, wagon (which you really don’t need since the beach is only a hop, skip away). Everything was in walking distance! I would definitely be coming back again! Our family enjoyed the home and location very much and was able to create memories.
