Saw dolphins - great location!
by Makenna Mecham
We have stayed here several times and it is always great. We honeymooned here six years ago and keep coming back. The location is great--especially during Fall when the tide is lower. We could walk out on the sand from our place and it was quiet and accessible. Loved going and plan on coming back again!

Best View Ever
by Marla & Rob
This Condo had everything we needed for a wonderful vacation with family. We loved just sitting on the balcony, relaxing and enjoying the ocean. It was so nice having the separate casita for one of our couples to stay in. The management was very attentive when we had a minor issue with the dishwasher. Great restaurants were everywhere. We have rented this condo before and we will be coming back again for sure.

Luxurious and spacious

Our family enjoyed our stay thoroughly! The layout of the condo was perfect for our family from my senior dad in the casita to our toddler. Management was attentive and timely with answers to our questions. Love the underground parking. We are hoping to stay again.
Hi Jennifer! Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're thrilled you loved our Oceanside beach vacation rental. Your kind words about the property mean the world to us. We're dedicated to providing amazing experiences, and we can't wait to have you back for more beachside memories. ~The Team at Beachfront Only

Loved the space, we had a power outage issue which was quickly resolved by your team. My mother in law said there were bugs in the main bedroom chair so we stopped using that chair. The sliding doors to the balcony could use some WD40, but otherwise everything was quite comfortable and we look forward to staying again next year

Wonderful stay
by Christina Birk
It\'s our third time using beachfront only and it\'s always a wonderful time. I appreciate the small details like a clothes drying rack and water basin outside to wash sand off. Any issues were promptly resolved. The kitchen is well stocked and you can\'t beat the view with the sliding doors open. The doors themselves were a bit difficult to push, but overall everything was in good condition.
Thank you for your fantastic review, Christina! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the amazing views and all of the amenities this Beachfront home has to offer! We appreciate your feedback and look forward to having you come back soon! ~The Team at Beachfront Only
Management Response Unacceptable
by Barbara R
I will preface this review by saying we paid over $1,000/night for 4 nights. The place itself is nice but was really cheap on items like one towel per person and single ply toilet paper. Not a big deal but this is a luxury rental. Our biggest issue was with the management company. We noticed right away that the tv in the LR wasn\'t working at all. They said they\'d send someone that evening, I even received a text that someone was on their way, then over an hour later as it got later in the evening and we were waiting for this person, we received a text saying the service request was canceled. I alerted the person i was speaking with via text and they told me the texts i received were automated and should never have gone out, and that the person who was supposed to come by had already clocked out. I again informed them that we had been waiting as we have 2 dogs and a newborn. We felr we couldn\'t leave the unit or do much of anything since we were waiting on them. Their response was to give us free late check out!? So they said they\'d be there the following am between 8 am and 10 am. I asked for a text beforehand because again, we have 2 dogs and a newborn and wanted to get them settled before the repair came. 10 am came and no person or communication. I messaged them again and then minutes later the person we hear a knock and the person is inside the unit- no advance notice. He had allowed himself into the unit without our permission. He used the code to come in. On top of that, the guy wasn\'t friendly, made no mention of being late, and was unprofessional. The communication is horrible and in my opinion, unacceptable for a rental that is this expensive and has so many additional fees. Turned out TV was broken. Wouldn\'t even turn on and needed to be replaced. Thankfully they came later that day.. again, no notice and just allowed themselves in without permission. I heard nothing from management after that morning about the inconvenience. My advice, DON\'T stay here.
Dear Barbara,
I want to start by extending my deepest apologies for the issues you encountered during your stay. We acknowledge that we fell short in providing the level of service you deserved and are truly sorry for the inconveniences caused.
We strive to ensure that all our guests enjoy a seamless and luxurious stay at our property. It is clear that in your case, our efforts missed the mark, particularly with the TV repair situation and the ensuing communication breakdown.
Your privacy and peace of mind are of the utmost importance to us, and we deeply regret that these were compromised due to our miscommunication. We appreciate your patience in dealing with these issues and assure you that this is not the norm for our team.
We will be addressing these issues with our staff to make sure such lapses in communication and service do not occur in the future. We are determined to learn from this experience and enhance our practices to serve our guests better.
Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention. We value your feedback and see it as an opportunity to improve. We hope that we will have another chance to provide you with a superior experience in the future.
Best regards,
The Team at Beachfront Only

Stay was great. The only issue we had was figuring out the oven. I sent a text message but never received a reply which was disappointing. We eventually figured out that the stove breaker was turned to off and we were able to get it working. But it would have been nice to get a response. That and the drier took forever to dry anything. This was our 2nd stay and we will be back and would recommend this place. Hopefully in the future if there is an issue we will get a response back.

by Frank Hinds
This is our third time renting from you and our overall experience was very positive and we will consider returning. The various door & gate codes were a little confusing and clearer details would have been helpful. Toilets in all 4 bathrooms were considerably lower than normal and difficult for older people and those with disabilities. The door going out to the patio was very hard to lock/unlock, I think the mechanism has been affected by the weather. The outside bedroom needs to have a shade or blinds on the glass front door, too much light coming in at night.
We look forward to our next stay at your properties.

This unit was exactly like the photos. The unit was clean and in good shape. We did have a little difficulty with all of the different codes. There were 4 different codes that were needed around the property. My parents were with us and it was hard getting them to remember the door codes. They forgot to take the code with them to their room (the casita) and so I was pleasantly awakened at 5:45 one day with my dad banging on the door to be let in. ?. We did a bit of our own cooking and all of the cookware we used worked fine. The pans might need a little TLC, but we got along fine with them. The manual can opener was not the easiest to use. It had not been cleaned and it’s as if the blade was dulled. We almost had to get out a knife to open the cans. It took a while to get them open. The view was outstanding. There are a lot of cars that drive by with their music blaring, but that never bothered us at night. The beds are comfy and this condo is so spacious. We had lots of family come and visit and there was still a lot of room. The biggest letdown was the weather! It was a little on the breezy side and a bit rainy. When sitting on the balcony, that cool breeze cuts right through you. We would most definitely return to this property. It was excellent. Parking beneath the property is excellent and spacious.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a detailed review of your recent stay, Cindy! We are thrilled to hear that you found our Beachfront home to be exactly as depicted in the photos and that it was clean and in good shape. We do apologize for any inconvenience caused by the multiple codes needed around the property, but we are glad to hear that you were able to get by just fine. We appreciate your feedback about the cookware and the manual can opener, and we will definitely pass that along to our team for review. We are delighted that you enjoyed the outstanding view and found the beds to be comfy. We are also happy to hear that you had ample space to accommodate visiting family members. We do apologize for the weather being a bit breezy and rainy during your stay. We hope that you will have better weather on your next visit! We are thrilled that you had an excellent experience overall and that the parking beneath the property met your needs. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future!

Christmas beach trip
by Shannon Gerke
This unit needs some attention to detail, the pics seemed a lot neater and cleaner. The sofas were very worn, only one burner on the bbq worked and there was no spatula in the kitchen. Not to mention all the door handles and pulls were rusty. For the money spent we felt it was very used and not as high end as the pics showed.
Mrs. Gerke, we appreciate you choosing Beachfront Only for your visit to the wonderful beach community of Oceanside. We value your feedback and are currently completing very detailed inspections of our homes and replacing items as needed. We also encourage guests to reach out to our helpful team to report any concerns so we may promptly address & resolve during the stay. Overall we hope you and your family enjoyed your visit, as we look forward to hosting you again in the near future.

I have stayed at many rental properties and this one falls at the middle end of a high rating. I realize that the expensive fees are due to the excellent location and views. However, the furniture outside (where one would sit to watch the view) had mold on it. It was shoved up against a wall and wet. The umbrella was bungeed to the railing. It just looked unkept. It was obvious it was old and the cushions were heavily used. Only one row of burners worked in the grill, and the lighter worked only occasionally. For what we paid, this should have been a really nice space. Inside was fine. Lots of amenities like a Keurig and plenty of pots and pans. Nice to have wine glasses and a large pantry as well. Layout is great. Nice for three families and living/dining is big enough for several people. Easy access to the beach and parking was easy. I really like the property, and if the patio space was updated, I would say it's absolutely worth the cost. Beachfront Only staff were great. Responsive to our calls. One member was there when we arrived to walk us through the property and answer questions. I received a text upon arrival and was able to use that feature any time we had questions. No clean up required by us when we left which was nice. Some companies want you to do dishes and start the laundry and still charge a big cleaning fee. Beachfront Only did not have this expectation.

700 S The Strand #206
by Donna Jackson
This is my second year at Unit 206. I started a new tradition of celebrating my birthday week with Beachfront 3 years ago. I love how this unit is decorated and the large balcony. It is so beautiful with the panoramic view. This year they added 3 small adorable Christmas trees. That meant a lot to me because that was what was always so special about having a birthday just before Christmas.
Each bedroom has it’s own private bathroom which was nice for my guests. I also like the casita for my quests that like extra privacy. All the bedrooms have TVs except the bedroom with the bunk bed. The bottom bunk is full sized so it was ok for an adult.
We did a birthday lunch at King’s Fish House in Carlsbad which was also very nice. Most of our eating was done in the unit, however. This unit has a lot more pots and appliances than most of the units that I have stayed in over the decades. The unit had both coffee makers which was very nice as well. The only item I wished the unit had was containers with tops to store things in the refrigerator.

Our family of four (two elderly parents with their adult son and daughter-in-law) rented this lovely vacation rental home in mid-November 2022 for a period of 8 nights. The great room (living room/dining room/kitchen) was graciously furnished and the wide glass door leading to the balcony overlooking the beach was incredible. We always had the doors open to the sound of the crashing surf during the daytime hours. We spent many hours just relaxing on the balcony watching the folks enjoying the Strand immediately below: strolling, running, skating, biking and driving slowly through. There are two large patio umbrellas to help deal with the afternoon sun. One has a bit of a problem, but they both work and are effective. If it were my residence, I would install pull-down patio shade screens for convenience, but the umbrellas look very festive. Our son and daughter-in-law took long walks along the Strand every day and loved every minute of every step. We were fortunate to have amazing weather every single day of our visit, and the sunsets were glorious.
Beachfront Only was generally responsive to addressing a couple issues we encountered. Inside the home in the evenings it got quite cool and we discovered that, though the furnace fan was working, there was no heat. After a call to B.O., they sent out a HVAC service technician the next day who discovered that there was a thermostat setting problem... gas instead of electric...and resolved that issue. Thank goodness that the house had several space heaters which kept us warm in the evenings.
We had one other issue which was not resolved while we were there. The dryer in the laundry room had a problem. It took approximately 3.5 to 4 hours to dry a small-to-moderate size load of clothing. We suggested to B.O. several days into our vacation that the vent was probably blocked, causing the laundry to "steam" rather than dry, but apparently they were unable to address it before we departed. My advice to future renters is to run a load of laundry early on in your visit to make sure the dryer is working normally and, if not, call B.O. promptly.
Being one of those two elderly people I mentioned, I found the couches to be oddly low and hard to get out of. The bed in the master bedroom was comfortable, but had a sloped edge to the mattress making it hard to get into. (I'm short at 5'2" and had to fling myself up and over the edge in stages!) And the bathroom countertops were oddly high, a couple inches higher than standard.
The master bath's double-shower is simply awesome!!! It took awhile to let the water run long enough to get hot water, but when it got warm it was incredible. I'd LOVE to have that shower at home!
The home had a kitchen appliance with which I was not familiar built-in beneath the countertop. It appeared to be a kind of oven or warming appliance, but there was no instruction manual that I could find, so it was never used. It might have come in handy, but we'll never know. ?
Parking was very simple, as the lot is directly below the building and is gated for security. There are two parking spaces provided for the unit we rented. The elevator is just a few steps away from the parking spot. On the very morning we checked out, the elevator was broken. This necessitated hauling all our luggage and other items down the stairs multiple times.
All in all, it was a wonderful experience in a beautiful home in a fantastic location! I would do it again, over and over and highly recommend it, despite those few glitches.

The house was absolutely beautiful! The furniture and decor were beach themed and well-designed. Our family loved the big kitchen and dining room table! We also loved sitting out on the patio and listening to the ocean! I loved that it was further down on the strand so you didn't get as much foot traffic as you would if you were closer to the pier. I would definitely stay at this property again and would recommend it to family and friends in a heartbeat!
We appreciate your 5 star review Amanda. It is nice to know you notice and appreciate everything we do to ensure you have an amazing trip! We hope to see you again soon!

Fantastic Ocean Front Condo
by Brigid Kranz
The Condo was excellent and your staff was quick to answer questions. Two items can improve experience, change the AC grate covers. They are awfully rusted and makes renters wonder what is lurking in AC ducts if you don’t take time to change cover? Leave instructions to get yo basic TV. Put with remotes. Minor changes, we will be back! Loved the views, it was everything we had hoped it would be!
Brigid, we are pleased to hear you enjoyed this amazing condo! We will be sure to share your great feedback with our team and make changes based on your suggestions! We look forward to having you back at the beach soon! ~ The Team at Beachfront Only

This was our fourth time renting from Beachfrontonly (twice in Carlsbad and twice in Oceanside on The Strand), and we were not disappointed! The condo and casita were VERY nice!! The location is the best, overlooking the beach/ocean. We parked our cars in the reserved parking spaces in the garage and only left once the entire time to go to Oceanside Harbor. The condo had everything we needed, especially in the kitchen. It was also nice to have the casita for the other couple we stayed with, so they could have their own sanctuary away from the main living area when they wanted. They even had their own full bathoom, microwave and mini fridge in their casita! And the location of the condo... it was perfect! It was also nice to walk along the Strand/beach and down to the pier to the Tin Fish and other food kiosks,as well as up the hill to other shops and restaurants. As always, it was entertaining to watch, from our patio, all of the different people and cute dogs walking on the Strand, as well as diffrent types of cars cruising the Strand. We also saw dolphins one morning. We only had a couple minor issues while there: The dryer door did not shut, and so we had to tape it shut to dry our clothes. The dryer also kept tripping the circuit breaker. Also, the latch to the condo entry gate was broken. But, we put in an online service order for those two things. The service order gave us the option of setting up a time to have these things fixed while were were there OR fixed after we left. We opted to have these things fixed after we left since it really did not effect our stay and did not require immediate service. I must say that any time we have had an issue in the past while staying at a Beachfront Only condo, staff was quick to make it right. But, we only had a couple of minor issues when staying in the past and definitely not a deal breaker keeping us from renting again. We prefer to rent from Beachfront Only because we found the other rental sites to be more costly to rent from, especially with many random fees. Beachfront Only has always been a better deal and we cannot beat the location...it's truly beachfront! We plan on continuing to make it a family tradition and renting from Beachfront Only every year. The condos have always been emaculate, high-end, well-stocked, and right on the beach. We have recommended Beachfront Only to many of our friends over the years. Thank you for making our stay perfect, but we all wished we could have stayed longer. It was definitely hard to leave!
Thank you for the amazing review, Tim! It was our pleasure having you stay at our Beachfront property.

Awesome location!
by Shirley Stern
The unit looks just like the pictures. Great location. Can sit and watch people and cars cruising the Strand all day long, like your own moving picture show. One thing to know. Bedroom 2 has a full size bed with bunk bed above. And it's against the wall making it difficult for 2 people getting in and out of bed. The bedroom also has no closet or TV. Fortunately we had a single guest in that room or it would have been a problem. I would also suggest ceiling fans in all bedrooms, not just the master. With that said, I would still recommend the unit.
Shirley, thank you for your feedback. This is a marketing issue we will be resolving in a timely matter. This feedback is important to let us know about things we may miss. We appreciate your feedback, and would love to host you again soon. - The Team at Beachfront Only

Gorgeous Getaway
by Meagan South
We absolutely loved our week in this condo! The open floorpan was great for our family thanksgiving by the beach. The views are ridiculous and we practically lived on that pario watching the waves crash. The third bedroom doe not have a picture but it was perfect for our 2 teenagers as there was a double/twin bunkbed. The King bed in the master suite is quite uncomfortable (our only complaint). The management company had excellent customer service. We ran out of propane the night before Thanksgiving for the outdoor fire pit and they had someone run a new one out Thanksgiving day! We were blown away. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Week
by Tricia Roth
We spent 4 nights Monday through Friday the first week of September 2020. It was a wonderful vacation. My mother, who is in a wheelchair much of the
time, was able to get to the second floor via the elevator. There are a couple of handicap parking spots near the elevator, and that helped. There were 4 of us for 3 nights and 6 of us 1 night. The condo was just as it appears in the website pictures. We had plenty of room, the kitchen was great, and the view was amazing. The only small complaint was that one side of the folding glass door was difficult to open and close, but I wouldn't say that detracted from our overall experience. There are coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance, as well as the pier. We walked on the beach every morning. We would definitely go back and certainly recommend it.

Stunning View
by Kathleen Puryear Puryear
We have been renting in Oceanside for 35 years and this property was not only the most reasonably priced, but also one of our favorites. The view is stunning, the layout of the property was perfect for our family with the casita offering privacy not only for my husband and I, but also for our daughter and son-in-law. The furnishings were high end and beautiful. The secure parking and elevator made coming and going so easy. The space was spotless and and the towels, bedding and amenities made us feel like we were staying at a resort. The deck was my favorite part of the experience. We had all the shade and comfort while enjoying the beach from the living space. The Rental company was excellent when we had to make a change from another property and company that cancelled our reservation and we had to book this property less than 24 hours before our arrival. What a change for the better! Beachfront Only had us set up within one hour and we could not have been happier! Would DEFINITELY rent this property again and will for sure use Beachfront Only Vacation Rentals without any hesitation!

Mom and Dad's Great Adventure
by Patricia Watts
The house is lovely, clean, and spaceous. However, the heater was broke and it took a full day to repair. We had to sacrifice one of our vacation days to have the issue addressed. The attendant in the office brought over extra blankets and space heart but we were freezing. The clean staff left trash and the cleaning supplies in the master closet, one master window covering was worn and non-functional, plus cleaning supplies blocked the pantry door and there were only a few hangers in the master. The house is well stocked with kitchen supplies and games. The views are wonderful

Best family vacation ever
by Terry Jackson
I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of furniture, pot and pans, linen etc. Most vacation homes use cheap quality items, but not this vacation home. My family enjoyed waking up to the beach waves right outside our door, the amount space, the convenience of the beach and the amount of activities that there was on the beach. The people we met, the shopping near by, I can go on and on. We did not want to leave and even thought of purchasing just to gain unlimited experiences like that whenever we want. We will be returning to beachfront only!

Gorgeous property right on the strand
by Jillian Fenton
This has been the second time that we have rented a property through Beachfront Only. Their team is extremely professional and was quick to respond whenever there were questions or minor issues. The properties are always well decorated and have every amenity you could ask for! Super clean and plenty of extra linens. The location could not be better, literally watching the waves roll in while drinking coffee in the morning or having a glass of wine at night. This property does not disappoint. A 10 min walk to the pier and great beach spots for a day of fun in the sun and water. 20 min walk max to the main street in Oceanside with plenty of great restaurant choices.
Thank you for your fantastic review Jillian! We are so happy to hear that you not only enjoyed all of the amenities the beachfront home has to offer, but also the surrounding area and local restaurants as well! We look forward to having you come back soon!

Prima's vacation
by Rachel Flores
our third year vacationing there. great location! only complaint-the floors. the grout is black with dirt it should be light beige ( look under the table and edges of bathrooms. the rug in living area filthy on the walking areas mainly corners. the management is great always there to help. debating on gong back next year.
Hi Prima, thank you for your feedback. We have forwarded your review to the owners and are looking into options for deep cleaning the grout. Thanks for the kind feedback about our team, we hope to see you back next year. ~ The Team at Beachfront Only
Almost Paradise
by Maureen Harter
Wow! What an entrance-to walk through the door and gaze upon the bluest ocean & sky! This house was so amazing--from the outdoor patio(very comfortable furniture!) to the exquisite decor! We had an amazing time people & nature watching from the patio--especially the unbelievable nightly sunsets! The house was very clean and just about everything was perfect! The beds are memory foam mattresses on platforms so for our taste, too soft. But for others, it might just be perfect! Also, we had to ask for more than one set of towels per person to make it through the 4 days we were there without having to do laundry--which WAS available and great to have! We never figured out how to lock the glass door on patio--didn't seem to work but this place is extremely safe! Our last afternoon there, we decided to picnic with appies and cocktails on the patio and just ENJOY! We saw sailboats and Skate-Girl, dog-walkers and bumpin' low rider parade of cars, unicyclist, motorcyclists, bycyclists, well, you get the picture! It was a memorable afternoon and a place we would love to visit again--if not for the soft beds!
Thank you for your fantastic review Maureen! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the amazing views, and all of the amenities the beachfront home has to offer! We look forward to having you come back soon! –

Great Location
by Clayton Troxell
We loved #206 at the Strand. The location gave us magnificent views of the ocean. Hearing the surf all day long was mesmerizing. Sunsets were beautiful. The condo was wonderfully set up and immaculate. We wish we could have walked across the street right onto the beach but we knew beforehand that the tides prevented that. Except for a few minor issues (no outside shower, no batteries for the votive candles, a toaster that toasted one side of the bread), everything was top notch.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the house and the magnificent views! We want to encourage you to contact our management staff during your next stay so we are able to address any issues right when they happen to make your experience the best it can possibly be. We look forward to having you come back soon! –

Will rent again
by Gabriela Barajas
Excellent! really loved the house ! Wish they didn’t charge so much for late check out ... check in is too late in the day , and check out is too early in the day. That was disappointing.
Thank you so much for your great review Gabriela! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay in our beachfront property and that it worked for all ages. The check out time is 10am and the check in time is at 4pm due to the fact that most of our beachfront properties are so large (3-11 bedrooms) that it takes time to clean the entire house, clean all of the windows (and re-clean the west facing ones again), the outside of the property, drain and clean Jacuzzi’s, change the linens, etc in order to have it ready for the next clients amazing stay. The charge for the early check in or late check out is because we have to re-arrange schedules to have additional staff come on board to make this happen. Sticking to a strict schedule ensures that all properties are cleaned on time (since that is only a 6 hour window). You were wonderful guests and took great care of the house. We value your feedback and are looking forward to welcoming you back again soon.

WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!!
by Niki Devine
Wow!" The only word spoken the moment we opened the front door and saw the incredible view straight ahead of us through the glass patio doors! It was even better than we expected and all that we hoped for! The property was beautiful and just as pictured. The few questions/needs we had were addressed immediately by the management company. There was plenty of room for all nine of us at our family "reunion" vacation. We will definitely be booking this place for our next family vacation! LOVED IT!
Thank you for your fantastic review Niki! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the house and the amazing views, and the fact that when you had to call management, they were able to address your questions/needs immediatelyl! We look forward to having you come back soon! –

Fantastic, Roomy House With A Great View of the Ocean!
by Jill Mahoney
Our elderly aunt said that she wanted to "see the ocean one last time". We found this place and after seeing the description and reading the reviews, we booked it. The place is fantastic! It is a 2nd floor, huge property with an incredible view of the ocean. The property is handicapped accessible with an elevator to the 2nd floor and ample space for a walker or wheelchair. We spent a lot of time sitting with our aunt on the patio watching the waves come in. At high tide, the waves splash against the rocks and onto the narrow , quiet street that is the only thing separating the property from the ocean. Access to the beach is a short walk away with many rocks of various sizes on the beach that are perfect for sitting on when you're not walking the beach or playing in the ocean. We all plan to go back again next year.
We love your 5 star review Jill, and we are so glad that you noticed we try and think of every little detail to make your trip amazing! We can’t wait to see you again soon!

Beautiful Beachfront vacation
by Jim Cox
#206 is a beautiful spacious vacation home with an amazing view! Our family loved being able to spread out, cook meals in the large kitchen, and enjoy a few days together while still close to home.
We did have a little trouble with the operation of the TV's, the AC in the cabana room, and the washing machine. The management was quickly responsive,
Although they still did not work perfectly.
Thank you for the amazing review Jim! It was our pleasure having you stay at our beachfront property. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that our staff was so accommodating to your situation. Thank you so much for your review and we hope to see you all again soon.

Our Time at the Beach
by Mary Lynne Davidson
A great family get-together in beautiful surroundings. We had trouble with one toilet not emptying and there was no plunger to take care of it. management arranged for a maintenance person to correct the situation. the main room tv lacked a cable for regular viewing. Again, I had to call management for a correction to this problem and they responded appropriately. We were very happy to have parking spaces for all 3 vehicles in a locked garage.
Great family condo!
by Yolanda Banda
My family of 11 had a ball! We are SD locals and opted for a staycation this year. We loved everything about the condo. It was spacious, well stocked with bedding and towels. We enjoyed cooking in the spacious kitchen, playing games in the evening, walking to the beach and pier, and the convenient parking. Our kids had daily playdates and we were able to host them comfortably for a few hours.
Stunning!
by Debbie Paul
This condo was absolutely incredible! Very spacious and modern in a great location. Very secure with underground parking and courtyard and front door locks, just be sure to keep the codes with you when you leave! I would definitely recommend this beautiful home to everyone and plan to stay here again.
Dear Debbie,
Thank you so much for your feedback and review. This condo is incredible! It is spacious, modern and very well done. We are so glad that you enjoyed the underground parking and courtyard. We are glad that you would recommend this beautiful home and we hope that you stay here again soon.

Everything except a sandy beach
by Mark Crosby
So this property is beautiful. Everything inside was clean and appliances were brand new. We used all of them as we ate every meal for 4 days there. However, I wouldn't stay there again. Our purpose in getting a beach condo was for all our young children and cousins to play at the beach together, which was a long walk away from this property. Every time we wanted to play at the beach we had to walk 1/2 mile north towards the pier with small children carrying boogie boards and sand toys and towels and life jackets, etc to get to the beach. When I booked the property, I was hoping we could walk across the street and play in the water. This is NOT the case. Even at low tide, the "beach" is all rocks and dangerous for young kids to play in. If you want to be able to walk across the street and have your kids play on the beach you'll need to get a property with a NORTH Strand address as the sandy beaches start at around 100 S The Strand and go to about 400-500 N The Strand. If you don't have kids who want to play at the beach and you just want to watch surfers and listen to the crashing waves from the balcony, then this place would be perfect for you.
Dear Mark,
Thank you for your feedback and response. The City of Oceanside did not replenish the sand this year. Planning time at the beach a low tide can help. We hope that we can host you again when there is more beach.
Thank you,
The Team at Beachfront Only
California trip
by Andrée Robichaud
great spot, we had an issue with the water but everything else was good
Fantastic location, beautiful condo
by Mellina Ching
Everything was great! The condo is right in the beach with an awesome view of the ocean. The condo was beautiful and the kitchen has all the utensils you will need. The only complaint I have is that the check in time is kinda late at 4pm and check out is early at 10am. For over $700 per night, I think they should at least let you check in at 3pm and check out at 11am just like at the hotels. You have to pay $150 if you want to check in earlier or check out later. If you request both, it will be $300. I think it's too much. Other than that, everything else was wonderful!

Fabulous Vacation!!!
by Theresa Fowler
I saw this place on VRBO and thought "if it even looks close to what these pictures look like I will be happy!" And when my family and I walked was even better! The view is absolutely breathtaking..the condo is gorgeous and extremely well kept...and is fully equipped with anything you could possibly need for cooking, washing clothes, tons of extra towels/linens...you name it they have it! We had the best time and didn't want to leave! We will be back soon that's for sure! Thank you

Fabulous Beach Get Away
by Leanne Bryson
We could not have found a better location for our vacation to the San Diego area!! The pictures of the view and the unit do not do it justice. From the well equipped kitchen to extra linens and beach towels, perfect for our needs. There were 3 bedroom when you include a casita, which would give you a nice break from the group. We are planning a trip next year with our daughter's family and there will be plenty of room for her family of 7 + us grandparents. Easy in and out of unit and garage.
Dear Leanne,
Thank you so much for the review, we are so glad that you had a great time at this unit for your vacation. This unit is beautiful and we are proud to help get it ready for your vacation. We can't wait to host you on your next vacation!

Beautiful venue, great service, perfect vacation spot.
by Mette Furby
My family along with two other families enjoyed our stay at this beach house. The house was clean and beautiful. The only thing I wish we had known is that there were only two bedrooms. One family had to sleep in the living room which made it a bit inconvenient. The sofa bed was also not very comfortable. But we made it work. We would definitely come back, but maybe find something with a third bedroom next time.
Dear Mette,
Thank you for the review and feedback. We are so glad that you and other families enjoyed this clean and beautiful unit. Just to clarify, there are three bedrooms, the third bedroom is a private casita off of the entry way. We would have been happy to come and help show it to you during your stay. Please feel free to give us a call next time, we are local and always have someone on call to answer calls after business hours. Thank you for the feedback on the sofa sleeper, we have added a topper that is stored in the unit. We hope we can host you again so that you can enjoy the third bedroom.
Thank you,

Great Family Time
by Carol Hodges
Our twin girls were turning 50 and we wanted to celebrate with all our kids some place special. Since we used to live in the area, we decided on this fabulous vacation rental in Oceanside on the ocean front. Everyone loved it and we had a great time. The location was excellent and the condo was exactly as pictured. It was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed to have a great experience. In addition, the management company was very helpful and available. We hope to come back again in the future.
Dear Carol,

Perfect Honeymoon Stay
by Kenneth Tanner
My new wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon this past week. It was such a wonderful experience. The location was ideal, as well as the spaciousness of the long house. It has a view of the pier as well as a second-story deck, where we sat one morning and watched a dolphin playing for about ten minutes.
We loved the openness of the house because we didn't want to be cramped or confined in a hotel for our honeymoon and this was perfect for that. Since neither of us was from Oceanside, we didn't know exactly what we were going to do there but there was a book in the kitchen with ideas of things to do as well as places to eat. It even had a schedule of the train that goes to San Diego.
We ended up spending a day in San Diego (the southern side was about a 45 minute drive) and loved the convenience of being close to the big city, while not feeling suffocated.
It was a great place and one we'd love to go back and visit on a different occasion!
Thank you for the amazing review Kenneth! It was our pleasure having you stay at our beachfront property. We are so glad that you were able to not only enjoy the wonderful property but the surrounding areas as well! We felt honored that you chose our home for your honeymoon and we hope to see you again soon.

Amazing, Luxury Condo Right on the Ocean!
by Diana Davis
Outstanding, high-end, spacious condo right on the ocean!
This is a wonderful place for a vacation, either for a family, or for couples sharing. This brand new, modern condo is very well appointed. Everything is top-notch. The unique feature are large window-doors facing the ocean that open up This 2nd floor unit has a 180-degree view of the Pacific ocean just a few yards away. You hear the sound of the waves throughout the day. It is extremely relaxing and not to be missed. It is like nothing else where you have ever stayed! Everything you want is there. The Oceanside Pier is within sight and a short 10 minute walk. Downtown theaters, restaurants, train to San Diego or LA, and shopping are just around the corner. You will have an ocean stay to remember!
