Thank you for your review! We’re so glad to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay and that the view and overall experience were wonderful. We’re very sorry to hear about the disturbance from the guests in the unit above. Unfortunately, we were not made aware of the noise during the evening it occurred and only learned about it the following day. Once we were informed, we immediately reached out to the guests directly and made it clear that the noise level was not acceptable. We’re glad to confirm that things were much quieter and more enjoyable for the remainder of your stay. Thank you again for staying with us, and we’re happy to hear that aside from that incident, you and your family had a great visit. We hope to host you again in the future!

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Host experience was unnecessarily invasive. Why do you need the occupation and exact age of my guests? Outer gate did not lock so we had a steady stream of unwanted visitors every sunset. Faucets dripped and there is black mold in the showers. There is a water heater that sounds like a jet engine between rooms 2&3. Common area air conditioning is barely cooling. Fire pit did not light. 5 large bags of trash blocking garage parking. The ocean view is beautiful and walkable to town but not worth the price per night.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback Hollis. We’re sorry to hear that parts of your stay did not meet expectations, though we do appreciate you mentioning the ocean view and walkable location. Regarding the information requested prior to check-in, the cities where we operate vacation rentals have strict regulations for short-term rentals. As part of those requirements, we are required to collect the names and ages of all guests staying in the home. The form also includes a field for occupation, but that portion is completely optional and is not required for booking or check-in. We’re also sorry to hear about the maintenance concerns you mentioned. Issues such as a gate not latching properly, dripping faucets, or the fire pit not lighting are items our team would have been happy to address during your stay had we been made aware in real time. Our maintenance team is available to assist with concerns like these so guests can enjoy the property as intended. We will also be reviewing the items you noted with our team to ensure everything is properly inspected and addressed. Thank you again for your feedback, and we wish you the best in your future travels.

The place is in a beautiful location. Everything was great except a few things. Something turns on upstairs and make a louds vibrating noise for thr back rooms. I had a terrible time sleeping with it. Not sure what it was since it was making that sound after the upstairs checked out. The cleaning crew kept using our garbage to access the unit upstairs for cleaning. We had 2 golf carts in the garage and they opened the garage and left it open while we were not at the house. I had to shut the garage several times, one time they told my husband he needed to keep it open and he told them no. The shower to rinse off outside before getting in the spa was freezing cold water, wosh it was hooked up to the hot water, also some kind of astroturf would be great for walking to the spa from the outside shower. No matter what we did there was still dirt and sand on our feet from the patio. The phone number listed inside the house to call for issues, goes to some woman that has NEVER been associated with this company and continues to get calls daily from your units, please be sure to change that, it's been a few years and guests shouldn't be having to find correct numbers. Other than that everything else was great.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the beautiful location and that, overall, you had a great stay, but we truly appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention. We’re very sorry about the vibrating noise you experienced. That certainly would make it difficult to sleep, and we understand how frustrating that must have been. We will have our team investigate what could have been running upstairs so it can be addressed. Regarding the garage, we do want to clarify that it is shared with the unit above. When the housekeepers are cleaning the unit above, they do need to utilize that unit’s parking spaces in the garage. That said, we apologize for any inconvenience caused, and we will review procedures with our team to ensure the garage is managed respectfully and securely during cleaning. We also appreciate your suggestions about the outdoor shower temperature and the spa access — we’ll look into improving the water temperature and adding something like astroturf to make that area more comfortable. Lastly, thank you for flagging the incorrect phone number inside the home. That is being corrected immediately, and we’re sorry for any confusion it caused. We value your feedback and are glad that despite these issues, you were able to enjoy your stay. We hope to provide a smoother experience for you in the future.

Magnificent Thanksgiving Trip

My family and I rented this unit for our Thanksgiving celebration. The unit was perfect for our entire family as far as sleeping arrangements and location. The teens were able to walk to the pier, get snacks and drinks from the local market on Wisconsin, sit in the hot tub, and play in the water, down on the beach. It was perfect for us adults as well. The kitchen had darn near everything we needed to cook our Thanksgiving dinner, and the sunsets can’t be beat! Thank you for a wonderful stay. We’ll definitely be back!!

Over all so so , bad experience with bathrooms sink, not in good condition and water flow in the sink ( terrible). The past 2 years was better ; we spend to much money for the weekend and it wasn’t worth it and besides that check in at 4:00pm and check out 10:00 am is ridiculous.

Best place to stay in Oceanside!

Loved it! Went with 8 ladies and it couldn't have been better. The unit was clean and right on the beach. Our neighbors were all super friendly. We were able to do a lot of walking and go to local stores and restaurants without ever having to drive. Sitting in the jacuzzi while looking at the ocean is priceless. Plenty of room for everyone. Never felt crowded. The only thing we needed to bring was some extra chairs for the patio, there was only 4 chairs, but 8 of us. But we have stayed at a similar unit (2 doors down) so knew would need to bring them. Plan on going again next year.

Best Beach House

This house was perfect for a family trip for our dad's birthday. We had 6 adults and 4 kids. And it was plenty of space. Each room has its own bathroom, which was key. The kitchen and the living space are nice and open for everyone to gather. The beds aren't the most comfortable, but they're big. We loved that the property is the very first off the strand. Which means that you are still super close to everything without all of the foot traffic in front of the house. We had an issue with one of the shower heads, put in a maintenance request, and someone came within a few hours with a new shower head. Great customer service. We'll definitely be back.

A relaxing family gettaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was spacious with lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. The house didn't have a bunch clutter which made it very kid friendly and I appreciated the new-er throw pillows on the couches. The view out the back was amazing and Beachfront Rentals made the process super easy for check-in/out and responding to our needs. The home however is tired and in need of a refresh. The walls needed to be wipe down and fresh paint would do wonders. Half of the mattresses were great, the other half desperately need to be replaced. The home was pretty clean but for the amount of money this unit charges per night, I expected more- a deep clean is needed. Dirty walls, stained bedside tables, floors that leave the bottom of your feet dirty just don't live up to the price/my expectations. My last comment is around the trash cans on the south side of the house. They stunk and mice were all over them at night. It made it such that we weren't comfortbale leaving the accordion doors open at night for fear one of those thing would get into the house. This unit has some real pros like location, views, and lots of space but it's in need of a detailed clean, moderate updates, and a better solution for the trash bins.

Amazing house amazing location

THE HOUSE - We had 5 adults and 5 kids I never really felt crowded with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The kitchen was big enough for a few of us to be in at one time, an open floor plan was great. THE PATIO- this was a perfect place to start and end your day. What are you all watching the waves the sunset or just the people walking by, is perfect for the atmosphere. The kids enjoyed the spa. Note- you share the outside shower with the upstairs unit. THE BEACH- the beach in front of the house isprotected by large rocks and not really accessible, especially during high tide. You only have to go a few houses down to the left you can enter the beach there. If you want to have the best access without rocks on the beach, I would walk down the street to Oceanside Boulevard and enter there. THE NEIGHBORHOOD- there's a coffee shop 1 block away before we go to every morning and they were great. Right next door is a market with almost everything you would need. If you want to grab drinks for a beer and dinner, I would recommend going to Bagby Brewing Company. All walking distance. The walk to the pier is a mile and something fun to do especially if you had kids with you. THE MANAGEMENT- they were really great and responsive! We did have some challenges when we were checking in with the door code not working. I paid for an early check-in so it was disappointing to get in a half hour later than we wanted to. But the fact that they had people on hand every time we called them and it showed up within a matter of minutes was really great. Everybody was super friendly. We even have one of the maintenance people spend an hour to switch out the cable box to an HD box so I couldn't watch the fight that they allowed us to order. If you're staying for a week it could be pricey. If you can handle it I would recommend splitting with family or friends. There's more than enough room and lots to do.

Great Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This group of properties is in a great location, walking distance to the oceanside pier, but far enough south that the "south strand" of road doesnt pass in front. The quality and appearance of the property is good, and it has everything you could need. It is very expensive, but in my opinoin a decent price for the location and size. If you are a first time renter there are a few things you should know (if you read the fine print all of this is on the website, but it can be ambiguous): Most of the time there is no beach at the oceanside locations. When the tide is at its lowest, in this unit, you can climb down the rocks in front and have a small strip of sand for kids to play on (no access for those unable to climb large rocks). If you are planning for small kids to run out onto the sand from this unit, this isnt a good fit. It is a 15 minute walk north to the beach at oceanside pier. Unless you are renting the entire building (4 floors I think), this unit is like a condo with individual renters on each floor, and privacy if desired will be an issue. As a non smoker surrounded by smokers above and to the side we were unwilling to sit on the porch in the constant smoke. Our preference, but must be considered if you dont like smoke. On a busy weekend there were few times where nobody was smoking outside. Booking is easy and management was very attentive to some maintenance needs we had and resolved them quickly. Know the booking cancellation policy, I booked inside the cancellation period and made a simple mistake (I knew the policy, just made a keystroke mistake a few weeks before our intended stay), I called right away to correct and was denied a full refund of the single night change. As a return renter I found this rather unappealing and is the main reason for the 3 star rating. Management offered different less ideal remedies. We enjoyed the week, and it is nice that each room has its own bathroom, and the kids loved the hot tub (not smoke averse)

Thank you for your review Jared. We are happy to hear you and your family enjoyed the house and the amazing location! This is the bottom unit of a two-unit villa, and is advertised that way on our website. As a suggestion, the next time you book with us, please let reservations know if you have any questions about a property or our cancellation policy (which is also on our website). We have over 75 amazing beachfront properties to choose from including single family units that have more privacy. We also state in regular print (not fine print) on the main property page that all homes in Oceanside, CA sit behind a rock barrier protecting the homes from storm surges. The amount of sand beyond the rock barrier varies quickly with storms and tides and may have more or less sand than what is shown in the photos. All of our properties are non-smoking, so 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 value your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Sincerely, The Beach Front Only Team

One of the best vacations in a long time!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Location was the best. Short distance from the pier. But far enough away to avoid the traffic and crowds. We will return.
