Location is very accessible to find and very close to the beach and Oceanside shopping. The dog loved the large fenced in yard. We were able to cook a home cooked meal with necessary utensils. Beds are very comfortable!

Trip to Oceanside

Owner/manager is extremely nice. The property is in central area close to everything. Our son had a soccer tournament and we were only 15 minutes away which was convenient. The big negative was when I first entered the bathroom there was toothpaste on the shower curtain. The dishes were all dusty and I had to clean them all. The BBQ had food from whomever stayed last. I called the owner and she did send out a cleaner who cleaned it all so she was extremely accommodating.

Shattered glass, friend injured

The vrbo we booked this weekend was not what we expected from a vrbo listing. Our friend was injured when a glass shower door that was difficult to move shattered. He was bleeding from several cuts on his feet, legs, arm and hand. Shards of glass were inside the tub, sink, and bathroom floor. We requested a full refund from the host due this poorly set up bathroom that ended up being a hazard for us but she said she couldn't afford to, nor could she help us find another place to stay. We had to scramble to find a new place for the night while rushing to get ready for a wedding.

Thank you for your feedback. We were surprised by this review, as we responded immediately when notified of the shower door incident and offered assistance right away. Guest safety is important to us, and we took prompt steps to address the situation. We wish you all the best moving forward.

About the host

Hosted by Melanie

Host profile image
Hi,
my name is Melanie and from a young age I have always loved to host people. I remember I would help my mom get things ready for people to come over and try to make everyone feel as comfortable as possible. Traveling is another passion of mine so I thought why not host people and make their trip as amazing as I possibly can. so I thought why not offer our beautiful houses to people traveling to Sierra Vista, AZ or Oceanside, CA!
