Weather was in the 80s and humidity was closer to 90%. The unit doesn’t have air-conditioning so don’t go in the dead of summer. There was a pretty good breeze off the water though that helped greatly.

Thank you for taking the time to share your review! I’m so glad the coastal breeze off the water helped keep things comfortable for you during your stay.
As noted in our listing amenities, our unit relies on natural sea breezes and fans rather than central air conditioning, which usually keeps the space cool and breezy. While weather spikes like unusual heat or high humidity are unfortunately out of my hands, I always strive to make sure guests have a 5-star experience. I appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back again during a cooler season.
This was the perfect 3 night get away with my bff. Great location (48 steps to the sand with my long strides). 10-15 min walk to food and pier. You really don’t have to leave the area if you don’t mind cooking. Kitchen was sufficient with tools and appliances. Entire cottage was very clean and beautifully retro decorated. Communication with the owner was great! We will be back! Great value for the perfect laid back beach vaca
Wonderful, relaxing and absolutely perfect few days in this cute little cottage! The host was very kind, communicative and available if needed. It was clean, just steps from the ocean and had everything we needed. We will be making this our regular getaway spot in Oceanside. Loved everything about it!

Thank you Janelle! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay. Hope to see you again soon!
Great spot to stay in Oceanside. Close to walk to many amenities. The pink houses are so cute!! Complimentary coffee, can sit on the porch and watch the waves and surfers. Will gladly come back!!
Loved the location! And, it was a cozy place.Negatives:-Cleaning product smell on arrival was strong-Needed more instructions on working the keypad. Without a neighbor we would have been stuck. -Shower soap, condition and shampoo smelled nasty. Couldn’t use. -Would have been nice to have one chair in the house.

Hi Mark,
Thank you for your feedback. I wish we had known about these concerns during your stay so we could have addressed them for you at the time.
We will definitely look into the scent of the soap, conditioner, and shampoo.
At 288 square feet, the space is quite compact, so seating is limited. Currently, we provide a couch, two barstools, two outdoor chairs, and a picnic table, which is the maximum the space can comfortably accommodate.
I’m sorry your stay wasn’t a five-star experience. We truly appreciate your comments and will use them to improve for future guests.
All the best!

Disappointed on arrival with an unserviced house. Bed unmade, towels on floor, and trash in rental unit all from previous renter. Notified host with no call back. Had to use ring camera on porch. After three calls on ring door bell, we finally had Jordan answer who was cold and short. We were told we could stay for the night free and sleep there. We stated we didn’t want to sleep on someone’s else’s sheets. Jordan cut my wife off and said ok they would refund us. Our main problem was the host never returned calls and the man who answered ring was annoyed with us and short. The following day I spoke to host who admitted their customer service and communication was wrong and they missed the mark. We understand mistakes happen. In this situation communication and empathy go a long way. We thought the host should have answered call and reached out next day. It took our communication for her to admit they missed the mark. That was appreciated. Just sharing to help others.
Always wanted to stay beachfront for a couple of days. Found this gem and rented it. Little pink houses in Oceanside is truly amazing, two rows of smaller cottages with the back row offset to afford all properties an ocean view. Lauren, the host was extremely accommodating. Checked in a few times over our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. A great getaway to unplug and refresh. The property is clean and very accommodating. I would more than recommend this property.
