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.
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 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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
We really enjoyed this property. Our extended family of 10 had a great time staying here. After sight seeing during the day, the kids kept busy in the pool in the evenings. The outdoor space was great for gathering and eating. The location was close to the beach and a park. It was also convenient to many tourist destinations.
Beautiful home to stay.Pool was excellent and the jacuzzi was excellent as well .We had a 12 people staying in this home beds so comfortable and everything was set very well. Kevin was really polite.
The house was great for our needs, it was sunny and spacious which was perfect for entertaining. The house was comfortable with plenty of seating for everyone. The outdoor area was a dream, with the pool, hot tub, gas fire pit and ping pong table. We had a wonderful time here and our Host Kevin was amazing!
