House was great for multigenerational vacation- 70-year-old mother had main level bedroom, the rest of us (me, husband, 4 small children) stayed in the upstairs spaces. Large deck and just steps from the beach! Clean, beautifully decorated and very comfortable!

We had an amazing stay. The layout of the home was perfect. The different seating areas on the decks was so smart… some covered, part not. The location couldn’t have been any better. How can you beat staying Oceanside… waking up and within one minute walking onto the beach. So perfect!

The beach view is unobstructed and spectacular! The house is very clean, beds are comfortable. Well stocked kitchen and lovely deck. The only suggestion I might make in the spirit of helpfulness is better sheets and towels. Otherwise, we would love to stay here again, a wonderful beachfront home.

Great location !

This property is a recently updated house located on West Beach Boulevard, right on the beach. The property was very clean and modern, and was very quiet. We had a small issue with hot water when we arrived, but the manager was very responsive and the situation was handled quickly. Very nice stay!

Beautiful property

Very clean and well appointed home just steps to the beach. Bed was comfortable with very nice linens and pillows. Kitchen had most everything a family might need for preparing meals. Very happy with our visit here! One thing that might be helpful would be a personalized directory of nearby restaurants and things to do, though Google helped us in that regard. Check in and check out was seamless. Would stay here again in the future.

Great family trip

This house was great for two small family's (4 adults and 5 kids) we really enjoyed our stay. We did have bed sheets that were blood stained but management was quick to respond and get new sheets. Would recommend bringing an all purpose cleaning spray to wipe down the counters after cooking in the kitchen because there is not any cleaning supplies. Other than the sheets everything was great. We really loved being right on the beach!
