Great Central Location
The property is nicely located for quick trips to Carlsbad, San Diego and Cornado Island. The ocean view from the balcony was enjoyable and far enough away from The Strand that it was relatively quiet.

Ocean view
The best part of the place was the ocean front view. The place is more run down than pictures show. Kitchen was not fully stocked with cooking items and cups/coffee mugs/wine glasses. The guest bedroom was very warm and muggy with just fans to use. There was no screen on sliding glass door to allow us to open the slider at night for fresh air into the bedroom. The owner/manager was very responsive to our requests for items needed during our stay. Very easy to communicate with. You’re paying for the view and access to the ocean.

Winner
You can’t beat the location at the end of the Strand. While this is not a luxury unit, it had everything we needed. Beds were comfy, a/c did the trick, and everything except the golf cart worked. New towels were a plus and at least Bellagio standard room hotel quality—very soft. It felt like home for a few days. The host was friendly and quick to respond to our only call. We’d definitely start here if coming back to Oceanside. The only downers were a dirty hot tub (could have been the dirty guests in the lower unit) and a horde of ants on the deck after a piece of food fell under the table.

Perfect view and relaxing spot
The host, Ray, is absolutely amazing. So friendly, communicative and just wanted us to have a relaxing time with our family. The place was perfect for our family. Right on the strand with easy beach access for my whole family. Boogie boards were a huge hit for my 2 teenage sons and our 9 year old. The hot tub was so amazing to jump into after spending the day at the beach. Watching the waves, surfers, and sailboats pass by was so relaxing to watch on our giant patio. We grilled on the outdoor grill with our family and just had an amazing time. Portable a/c kept the place nice and cool during the warm part of the day in July and we slept so well on the comfy beds. Thank you, Ray, for an amazing trip filled with many family memories. We will be back next year for sure!

A Lot of Fun
I usually stay at a nearby timeshare that gets rented out by the owners, but chose this place instead. Very glad I did. Communication was excellent with the owner/management. Waking up and propping myself up in bed and watching the ocean through the front siding glass door was incredible. Plus it has a front porch that we ate several breakfasts and meals. I was happy we stayed here and hope to go back soon. The only issue is that the water heater went out on Sunday afternoon, but it was turned back on early Monday morning. Still a great place.

It was the perfect location to let the sound of the ocean drown out the stress. The establishment has a significant amount of its original architectural charm which is refreshing for this area.

The location is why you are there. The upstairs unit view is why you are there. So manage your expectations and enjoy the relatively lower rental cost. Ray communicates immediately and there were no surprises.

Worst stay !!!!!
Total the worst stay Ac unit not working! No internet! Ants all over the place the place is not kept up at all the host will not answer you at all doesn’t care he owns a grocery store around the corner. If something doesn’t work, he rather bring you beer or something. This place should be shut down he should not be renting it out. I am looking for some type of compensation. If you’re looking for a place to stay, do not stay here. Oh another one. The hot tub was not working since our stay called the owner he brought some guy out. They did not know what the hell he was doing kept coming and going this guy is truly a slum landlord, he keeps saying he wants to keep it California style also said that he should tear down pictures. Do not look like the place at all so if you’re looking for a nice place to stay, I wouldn’t stay here.

Great little house on the beach to stay in. Nice to have a great view and nobody to block you. The house floorplan is a little quirky, but very comfortable. Terrific. beds in both rooms. Ray is a terrific host. He actually drove us to a restaurant he thought we would love and we did. We plan on rebooking again.

Amazing Oceanfront property!
We had a wonderful time watching the waves from the upper balcony and always had a view! The hosts were exceptional and took great care of all of our needs. We loved it so much that we added 2 additional days to our trip and the hosts worked with us to do that. An amazing time, close to shopping, food and the water! Wish we could have stayed even longer! Thanks Jen and Ray for an incredible week!

Great spot! VERY helpful and friendly host/owner!
Really great spot! The rocks right outside the property overlooking the ocean are beautiful and an incredible place to watch the sunset- or watch a seal playing around. Its about a 10 min walk (with a 3 yr old) to the beach. It's not the sandiest beach, but its fun and perfect for kids to explore and play! The hot tub is great to warm up in after a cool day at the beach (we went in March). The owner, Ray, is one of the nicest property owners i've come across on VRBO. Truly helpful and fast to reply. If you forgot snacks- or need a bottle of wine- head up to Wisconsin Market- it is FULL of fun snacks/treats for all ages! Be sure to text Jenny (the host) if you need fresh towels or kids games- or really anything, she's very helpful! Would come here again.

This location was perfect for enjoying the ocean every second. We ate our meals on the balcony and just soaked it all in. It rained during our stay but with the door open and the views from the large windows we didn’t miss out on ocean time. The unit is older but has been well kept. It is a short walk to shops, restaurants and a little store. I will definitely stay in this unit in the future. Ray and Jennifer were extremely helpful and quick to answer any questions.

Consumate SoCA experience
Met up with a girlfriend for a long overdue rendezvous. This was the perfect place. We sat outside most of our stay… enjoyed the beautiful ocean and fabulous weather. Watched people walking (many with dogs) cycling, running, surfing. We soaked up the sun, took pictures of the spectacular sunsets, drank wine and caught up on each other’s lives. Even considering staying an extra day but work beckoned for my friend. Definitely will return for our next girlfriend’s rendezvous, or a weekend with my hubby!

Bittersweet
Sweet….Absolutely loved access to the beach and the views from the front porch were amazing!! Bitter… lights on porch were broken and not working and lawn chairs on porch were too filthy to sit in or lay down. LOTS of ants inside the unit… completely filled our toiletry bags and personal belongings on makeup vanity. Air conditioning was included but was inadequate for cooling entire cottage. Front bedroom, specifically, was extremely hot! There was little to no lighting and outlet options available throughout the house. It was a lovely place to stay regarding location and access to the beach. However, for the cost and disregard for cleanliness, it was extremely disappointing.
