We had a group of 12 (6 teenageers, 6 adults) stay at the house. Checkin was a breeze and the owners communicated with us well, fixing the ice and water in the fridge and offering to deliver things that were missing! Other than a few items the kitchen could have used, we had a great time. The backyard had plenty of things to keep us busy, including a solid ping pong table, hot tub, pool, games, tv. The location was great and we never had a hard time finding parking.
Excellent location close to the beach and conveniences!
The house was very spacious and clean. The owner and Property Manager were both friendly and easy to work with. The bedrooms were huge! Plenty of room for everyone to spread out and have fun!
Although we did not use them, the pool, hot tub and fire pit were all very nice too!
We had a much smaller group than we had planned, but the space to be outside all day, and cook all of our own meals made for great family time. The wifi worked great, and it's a super walk to the beach. Thank you!
Sadly, the pool was out of order and we didn't get a response back in time to use it. Ice maker didn't work and filter needed to be replaced in the fridge for drinking water. Waited a week to write this review hoping the owners would make things right since we didn't get the pool/hot tub...still no word.
We were celebrating my wifeâs 60th birthday with our kids and grandkids. The property was very spacious but the pool with the spa and slide was the best. We were able to spend time at the beach and then unwind back at the house while the kids played in the pool. We bbq every night with the outdoor kitchen a huge plus.
We took our three adult children, their spouses and our four grandchildren to Legoland, San Diego Safari Park and the ocean. The house was located very conveniently to all of these attractions. The back yard was a total hit. That is where we spent most of our time. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, fire pit, ping pong and playground area. We would definitely return!
First time Our Family decided to get a house all together!
Our whole family, us the parents and our 4 adult children with families 14 of us in all had a blast!
The house was clean, and spacious enough for us to all have time together and apart.
The pool and hot tub were for us the best part, we spent most of our time out there.
Close to restaurants, coffee shops, and the beach.
The neighborhood was quiet and comfortable safety wise.
I would recommend this property.
We have rented this house 2 times now. The kids love that there is a pool and jacuzzi. After spending the day at the beach it is nice to come back and relax in the pool.
Kevin was very responsive. We arrived and found that the air conditioner units hadn't been installed as promised. Kevin worked hard to get them installed by the next day.
The house is a little older, but very functional for families.
The outside amenities were great! Outdoor kitchen, pool, hot tub, ping pong, and corn hole. Lots of fun! The beds were nice and comfortable. The pool floats need replaced. Very worn and some have holes. Inside the home there seems to be a sugar ant problem, mostly in the kitchen. Front door doesnât close unless you lock it. Make sure you bring your own coffee, salt, pepper, sugar and laundry soap. Basic items that are often in VRBOâs, especially when you pay so much. Neighbors are very close and itâs a sketchy neighborhood. Beach isnât as close as we thought, you will want to drive.
We needed a little family getaway because Phoenix decided to stay hotter than normal this time of year and we had never been to Oceanside before. The property is very close to the shops and food downtown. Probably further than you want to walk but if youâre an active group, walking could be an option for you. We did walk during the evenings through the neighborhood and there was a high school not far away that was having a night football game, which was fun to walk past. There is parking down by the strands beach thatâs two dollars for the whole day and was widely available even during the weekend time which was great. The food and the shops were great and the home was a lot of fun for the family. The pool was great. The spa was great. The ping-pong table had all new equipment there were corn hole boards to play and a beautiful outside kitchen /cooking area with a brand new and very clean KitchenAid grill. Overall, we had a great experience. The ownership was great to communicate with on a few things that we had questions about and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Great location, perfect for large groups, and the backyard/pool area is awesome! Very minor complaints about the quality of some of the items in the house along with some functional issues...i.e. you can't get to the backyard without walking through a bedroom or going out the front door, around the side through a heavy wood gate, and then down several steps. Overall, a great place to stay though!
My son and 3 of his fellow baseball teammates and families shared this amazing home! There was plenty of room to accommodate 4 families and have separation for privacy and plenty of entertainment in the backyard. The owner was very responsive to a question that I had, and the home was clean and met all of our expectations. I would highly recommend this home for larger families or groups. On a separate note, the boys won their baseball tournament! Wonderful home in a great neighborhood and close to amenities.
Our grandkids loved the pool and we had plenty of room for all 10 of us. It was in a good location. Close access to beach and freeway. It was a great time!
My extended family loved this location and rental property! The backyard is especially fun and engaging. The inside has lots of sleeping options and is very accommodating. I would suggest a few small improvements, such as a couple of mattress upgrades/changes (the basement bedroom underneath the kitchen could have a more comfortable mattress and the top bunk mattress in the family room downstairs was a bit thick so that it wouldnât be a safe too bunk for a younger kid⊠also could use some smaller things that would be easy to add: broom, oven mitt, and a repair of the deck railing. Overall, my family of 11 (7 adults and 4 kids) had a great time and felt very comfortable and at home at this property. The owner was super responsive, reasonable and accommodating. We had a great time and would definitely stay here again.
