Fresh Beach Cottage with Fire Ring in Sand, Walk to Restaurants

Overall experience was okay, but be careful and double-check your rate before visiting this property. Some charges were not explained. I am still trying to figure out the charges. (Beware of double charges)

Nice to have ocean in your backyard

This is our second time to enjoy this home! Plenty of room, quaint, clean, linens are fabulous, we are so great full to be able to make so many wonderful memories with family and friends!

I couldn't be more pleased with this beach cottage! It was much larger than I had anticipated! One week was not long enough; we all wanted to stay another week! Easy access to the beach. A green lawn for my grandchildren to play. Washer and dryer, oven, microwave, coffee maker all included. The bedding was so clean and smelled awesome! We drank coffee by the ocean every morning and sat there again in the evening as we watched the sunset. The only downfall was that we did not meet the owners of the property; I was waiting for our cookies that everyone else bragged about ha ha!

Perect beach cottage!

Our stay in Oceanside was perfect, I have been a lot of places Aruba, St Maarten, Cancun ect.. and this was one of the most beautiful views I have seen. Almost every day we saw Dolphins. The location was perfect we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful view from the beach house and the yard... It was awesome!! it was so beautiful we didn't go out much we didn't want to miss out on seeing the sunset :). The beach house was very comfortable it had everything we needed. I would highly recommend staying here.. The owner was always helpful and always got right back to us if we had any questions....The last day my son in law got stung by a stingray which I understand is very rare....

Our stay at this property was very disappointing. After spending quite a bit of money to rent this place for week, we opened the door to a house that was in need of some cleaning to say the least. Upon entering, you could see that the furniture was dirty and stained to the point that we covered them with towels before sitting on them. While emptying the ice chest, water spilled onto the floor and when it was wiped up the towel was black. The house had not been cleaned properly and since each guest pays a cleaning fee there is no excuse for a dirty house. There was mold on the shower curtain in the upstairs bathroom. The kitchen utensils were rusted and luckily we brought a can opener with us because the one there wouldn't work. If you are going to rent a house for thousands of dollars a week, I think you could spend a hundred dollars and buy new kitchen items when they rust over. We understand that this house is at the beach and things rust, but that is no excuse for not spending the time to keep up your property with a little care. The locks on the doors didn't work so there were baskets filled with rocks which doesn't actually keep the doors shut. It would be nice to have privacy when in the bathroom. Also, the upstairs toilet area is next to the front window which only had a thin curtain on it. At night, I would have to use the restroom in the dark so that people couldn't see in. A shade would be nice! You couldn't broil with the oven. There were not enough bath towels. When you allow that many guests you should provide the appropriate number of towels. The trash cans were half full when we arrived. By the fourth day, we ran out of room and my husband carried trash bags home with him to throw away. Also, the dryer vents into the house so it blows dust back into the room which caused one guest to have severe allergies. We stayed there with young kids and were disappointed to see that at the end of the property you have to climb down rocks to reach the beach. This was not conducive to young kids who wanted to play in the water and stood at the edge of a drop off. Also some of the chairs were broken and where was the red umbrella that it shows in the picture? I think the worst part was the neighbors Great Danes, yes that is plural. Every time you stepped outside you could smell the pungent odor of dog urine and feces. Needless to say it made enjoying the ocean unbearable. This was certainly not the vacation that we had planned on having.

My sisters , mom and cousin met in San Diego to celebrate our mom's 90th birthday. The house was perfect and the location was great. We went to the local farmers market on Thursday, took a stroll down the pier to a wonderful ice cream parlor, and enjoyed margaritas on the deck. The owner, Kim, is great. All communication prior to arriving and during our visit was courteous and prompt. I would go back in a heartbeat!

A perfect rental for a large family to vacation together without sharing any common areas with other renters. A private house right on the beach! Direct access to the water from your back door! Private fire pit was great to have for a large group wanting to be together and talk by the ocean at night. Kim was great to work with via email and on site. She dropped off our keys as soon as we pulled up to the house! She's only a few doors down if you need anything but we were fine and didn't really need anything after check-in. The only issue we had was stair climbing for those of us over 75. We had 3 elders including myself and since the only kitchen is upstairs we had to climb stairs more than we cared to. Eating outside a few nights helped. We'd still consider coming back again with kids and grandkids. They loved this unique private spot on the beach where the house is not shared with anyone but one family.

We had an amazing time! The house was in perfect walking distance from several activities and the kids each had their own room. They would say it is good to be home when we would get back ( I think having the beach right in the backyard helped). The beds were very comfortable and having the window open listening to the waves every night was a little piece of heaven. We will definitely be returning.
